The game was not as fast as the score would indicate, but was decided ly a better article of ball than was afforded by the Portsmouth boys upon the occasion of the two preceding games. Wilmington got her first and and onljrun in the first inning but in the succeeding ones the Giants were simply in the power of Volts, who pitched a better game yesterday than has yet been seen on the Wil mington diamond. There was not a single brilliant or sensational play during the entire nine innings and Portsmouth won out solely on her merits. Watson, of Wilmington, was in right field for the visitors and many spectators on the bleacheries yesterday attributed the visitors' success to tbe long drive to centre for two bags by him.

Umpire Davis at Raleifb. The following special telegram was received by the Stab last night: Ralkiqh, N. C. April 27. A dis orderly scene and what came near being a general fight occurred during tbe ninth inning of the base ball game here this afternoon between the Raleigh and Richmond teams. In the ninth inning Atz ran into Gans at the homeplate and in colliding struck his mouth. Gans threw the ball at Atz. Captain Kelly went after Gans. A hundred people rushed on the grounds,' but order was soon restored and the grounds were cleared. During the third inning there was a difficulty which resulted in Manners, Richmond's catcher, being put out of rthe game. Che way the trouble arose was, Meade stole second base and was declared safe by Umpire Davis, Man ners having thrown the ball to second. Manners protested, rushed from his position and shoved the umpire back ward, applying abusive language in the meanwhile. Spectators and play ers generally approved the umpire's ruling. Manners was put out of the game and fined $5. A thousand peo ple witnessed the game.

IN WILMINGTON YESTERDAY. Attendance Was Large and Very EotbnsI sstic President's- Comprehensive Report Officers Elected for Ensuing Fiscal Year. The third annual meeting of the American Fruit and Produce Trav ellers' Association was held here yes terday, and was marked by a large and enthusiastic attendance.. The first session was held in the afternoon at 4 o'clock in the rooms of the Merchants' Association, in the Seaboard Alf Line building, and was presided over by President J. G. Thompson, with Brown & McMahon, Philadelphia. . Routine business prin cipally was conducted at this session, the most important item of the pro ceedings having been the annual re port of President Thompson, who ad dressed the large gathering of jolly young fellows as follows: i Gentlemen It affords me much pleasure to meet with you again and j to see your familiar faces in Wilming ton, the birth place of our organiza tion, after a year of travel searching for the products of the soil suitable to our wants. I The past year has recorded little change in our organization. We nave had some very good additions in the way of membership and I have bad but one committee to appoint to nvestigate a complaint. I think it well to give such things due consideration and be careful that per sonal animosities do not influence in any way, as it is attended with ' a great deal of trouble to the- organiza tion and in many instances has no beneficial result. The meeting held in Buffalo. N V.. October 20th, 190,0 was not largely at tended but considerable interest was manifested. Some additions were made to our by-laws as recorded in the minutes of the meeting. The clause for each member that de sired to deposit a dollar with the treas urer to create a fund, tot be forwarded by him immediately on notification of death. . I think it a good thing and hope it will meet with general sup port. Tbe hotel committee nas not been as active as I hoped for. We must all agree that in fruit and vegetable cen tres where we are compelled to go, in some instances we have to pay too much for hotel accommodations and our livery bills are too much. I hope the new botel committee will accom plish more. Our membership is be coming large new members are con stantly coming in. Gentlemen, our membership is drawn from all the large commercial cities of the United btates and all towns that are large enough to have commission bouses that employ travelling solicitors. Our membership extends from the lakes to the Gulf of Mexico, and from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean and we have one mem ber located in Cuba. We are getting some of the best solicitors with us. Some of the represeWative firms of the country where oner or more of the firm travels are uniting with us. Gentlemen, the commission houses that are represented by the united membership of the Fruit and Produce Travellers Association do millions and millions of dollars worth of business each year And the members of this organization leave hundreds of thou sands of dollars along the - line they travel. Tbe hotels, tbe livery stables and the transportation companies all feel our need. The farmer has learned to wait for our coming, and ne is tne important factor in our business. The success or failure of the houses represented by us depends upon the farmer. Our hou,ses owe their very exstence to him. The money markets of the world depend on the success dr failure of his efforts. In fact, gentlemen, he makes it possible for you and I to have a position. We must consider mm tne most important link in the chain of our business existence. As such we must treat him. always trying to make each visit to him more and more pleas ant for both. Gentlemen, we are bound to be come a power that can dirtct things; our way when we are wronged. We require a strict adherence to tne con stitution and by laws, and each one to work for the good of tbe order, uon't allow ourselves to be jealous of those who are more successful tnan we, out work that much harder ourselves. Don't object to others' methods of working. Every one has a method of his own. Respect all methods that are honorable. Let success be the watch word of us all. The report was received and ordered on file, after which the meeting ad journed until 8 o'clock when the final session was begun, Which lasted until an early hour this morning. At this session officers were elected as follows: President A. EL Makely, represent ing J. H Gail, Buffalo, N. Y, Vice. President 8. 8. Sudler, repre senting J. F. Little field 6t Co., Balti more. Secretary and Treasurer J. R. Franklin, of .the firm of Sterling & Franklin. Baltimore.. This is Mr. Franklin's third election to the Dosition which he now holds, and the compliment is one in every war worthily bestowed. During the sessions a large number of new members were received into the Association, swelling the membership to something over 140. all of them rep resenting the best produce commission houses in the country. The annual meeting Ibis ' year, was especially har monious and waa greatly enjoyed by the large number of members present. Reports of all the officers showed the Association to be in a healthy and prosperous condition, the membership of which is made up- ol travelling rep resentatives from leading fruit and produce commiasionhousea in alt the leading .cities North .and South, East and West. It. is rabidly becoming a powerful factor in the business, and bids fair to grow in usefulness and importance as the? years come and go. The retiring? President's address was WHOLE NO. 10,512 members of the Association and grow ers in all this territory, and was loudly applauded by tbe members present: Telegrams and letters were received from absent members evincing their' interest in the welfare and prosperity of the Association, and expressing their best wishes for its future career. The place for the next annual meeting to be announced by the Executive Committee into whose care this work has been entrusted. The matter of the appointment of an Executive and Hotel Committee was delegated to the President and will be announced later. The semi-annual meeting this year will be held about the middle of July Macon, Ga.. if the neach cronin that territory is sufficiently advanced require the produce shippers there that time.

Mayor Waddell, after administer ing the oath, explained the new law now in force and informed them that the oath as above would be adminis tered each week hereafter and they would be rigidly questioned as to the existence of any of the misdemeanors set forth in the law.
