' With three good men already on the staff of pitchers of the Wilmington base ball nine, and with only one game out of a series of three won from Newport News, Vorhees, whom every body believed bad been released from the team, or at least given notice that he would be released, was substituted for Foreman, and the game lost by a score of five to one. Although telegraphic advices from Newport News last night said that Vor hees struck out eight men in one, two, three order and pitched a "manly game," there was little conciliation with the general run of "fans," and they continued to "knock" with dex terity. They set up the claim that it was Foreman's game and Foreman should have pitched it. The following telegram was received by the Star last night: Newport News, Va., May 1. Two out of three from Wilmington. If the Shipbuilders continue to climb the ladder aTthey are going now and if the Norfolk Skippers will kindly drop a couple of games, Newport News will be at the top. Wilmiogton'sAinly run was made in tne first, inning this afternoon. Cranston, after getting his base on balli, going to second on a wild pitch and to third on Deisel's error, scored when Crocktt was put out at first. Vorhees pitched a manly game but had hard luck. He struck out eight men in one, two, three order. THE TABULATED 80OEE.

From yesterday's summary at New port News it is believed that in view of the fact that Cranston was substi tuted for Thackara, that the last named had further trouble with his injured finger. Thackara never allows passed balls when he is in shape behind the bat, and unless something had hap pened the management would never have substituted him, though Cran ston is the finest in the league, except Thackara himself. Umpire Clark, who officiated with such eeneral satisfaction here, appears to have been "hoadooed" in Norfolk. The.people here are, however, on the side of Clark, though the following appeared in yesterday's Norfolk Land mark in connection with the game in that city Tuesday: "At the Park vesterdav there was a slugging match, in which two pitchers and an umpire suffered the former nrofessionallv and the latter physi call v. The alugsrine was done by the Richmond and Norfolk ball teams with their bats, and Jfirst .Baseman Armstrong, of Norfolk, with his fists. The aneetators were very much inter ested in the former, but had rather not have seen the latter, for it is just such exhibitions of temper that tends to kill all the excitement and fun to be de rived from seeing two well matched teams play the national game. No mat ter what the justification, there should be no fighting on the ball field. If an umpire is 'incompetent and does not know his business there is a remedy- he should be replaced. That is the only remedy that the general public will Btand tor, and tne sooner .this is known the better for the promoters of the game. These gentlemen, neither in Norfolk nor in any other or the cities of the League, are in sympathy with such .disturbances, and not only does the local management regret the affair, but will prevent its repetition. The fight between Armstrong and Umpire Clark lasted but a very few minutes, but in that time the former had blacked both of the eyes of the latter and so hurt him as to render him unfit to continue the game. His place was taken by two players. The scrap occurred as Norfolk was about to take her half of the fifth inning. Armstrong made a remark which Clark thought was addressed to him and he called the first baseman down. Mora words were passed when the um pire imposed a fine on Armstrong, More words and another fine and the ex policeman was put out of the game. This was more than he could stand and he punched Clark good ; and - hard. When the men were separated Clark's face was bleeding and his eyes were badly discolored. Armstrong's face was scratched- . ..

Visitors to the Produce Exchange yesterday were gratified to note from4 the boards that the enterprising man sgement had arranged to receive the Chicago grain and provision market daily, each half hour. These quota tions were received by the Exchange some time ago three times a day; but now they are posted every thirty min utes and. this feature should be a strong inducement for the wholesale grocers and others on the wharf . to hand in their applications for mem bership.

Were Read by Mr. James Sprnnt nnd Col. A. M. Wadded Devotions! Services by Bishop Cheshire, of Charlotte. Event a Great Success. In the annals of Wilmington it would be a far stretch of memory to recall a day more glorious, more satisfactory or happier than the first of May of the first year of- the twentieth century. The occasion was the second annual pilgrimage of the North. Carolina Chapter of Colonial Damea :to the colonial; ruica .of, old St?"PlriTJpVChureh '-atTthe historic grounds at Old Brunswick. Alwajs a pleasure to visit this charming place, it was made doubly so being under the auspices of those charming ladies, whose care was to see that all were rendered safe and happy. It was an outing never to be forgotten. At 10 o'clock yesterday morning Captain Harper rang the gone for the steamer Wilmington to move from her dock. A lovely crowd of maids and maidens, wives and widows, men and youths, and the irrepressible boy, filled her decks and cabins to the number of 420. All happy and care less, many looking for a pleasant holi day and the more thoughtful having in anticipation a rare literary and his torical treat With wind and tide against it the steamer reached the dock at Old Brunswick at 11.30 o'clock, and it was an interesting sight to watch the disembarkation of the human freight Off jumped quickly the liveliest boys and the sprightliest maidens, followed soon by the maturer of both sexes, no less intent upon gaining and giving pleasure. A short walk through the ruins of Fort Anderson, (and many stopped to contemplate the enormous and won drous structure built during the war for Southern independence,) brought all to the ruins of St Philip's church, the Mecca of the journey. After a short rest silently and devoutly the pilgrims and their numerous friends gathered in the historic ruins of St. Philip's church. Asked to be quiets Rt. Rev. Bishop Cheshire, of the jDiocese of North Carolina, bagau theuevotional exer cises by reading the eighth Psalm from the Book of Common Prayer, a part, and an appropriate part, of the Psalter for the day. The recitation of the Apostles' Creed and afterward the Lord's Prayer, both led by the Bishop, were heartily made by tbe large con gregation. The- Bishop then read the prayers for "Peace and Concord," for "Defence," "for Deliverance" and for "Acknowledgement of Mercies." Fol lowing the benediction the choir sang the hymn, "My Country 'Tis of Thee," in which the congregation joined and during the whole ceremony every one stood, the men uncovered. CoJ. Waddell at the request of the Dames announced that Mr. James Sprunt tvtmld read an address upon the life and work of Spencer Compton, Earl of Wilmington, after whom this city was called. Mr. Sprunt gave an interesting and most instructive sketch of Compton's noble lineage and of his distingished services his regard, most disinter ested,' for tbe young colony, and his appointment in 1730 as Governor of the Province of Gabriel Johnston our first colonial chief. In 1739 the name of the town, which had been first New Liverpool, next Newton (after a prominent merchant), was changed as a compliment to Wilming ton. The Earl of Wilmington died in 1743, full of honors, highly respected and greatly regretted. The address further contained allu sions as to the object of the formation of the Society of, Colonial Dames; among them to perpetuate the memo ries of colonial men, to gather facts and preserve records, restore ruins and locate points of interest, verifying traditions, obliterating errors and de monstrating facts. Mr. Sprunt spoke of the first instance of organized armed resistance to Great Britain in any of the colonies being at Old Brunswick. His address was warmly applauded . and his tribute to the Dames for their work was highly appreciated and he received the thanks of many. V The whole congregation ihen stood and sang the hymn, which, thank God, nq other State can claim nor can any other claim so grand a hymn as The Old North State." Col. Waddell then addressed the Dames and audience on the subject of the Early Settlers of the Cape Fear. He spoke of the stimulant that the formation and work of historical so cieties give to the preservation of the memories of the past A few years ago little was known of North Car olina history, but research and study had brought to light facts (and demon strated that the Carolinians eminently deserved the title they assumed in 1770 of "Sons of Liberty." He spoke of the abandonment of the only settlement; the return a few years, after; the efforts . of Sir John Yeamans to effect a perma nent colony, his careful nursing of the same; the persecution by his enemies, the vindication' of history.; - it, After Sir John Yeamans he spoke of Surgeon Woodward, who waa: an explorer in the wild of the Carolinas and afterwards settled at Port BoyaV and onevof his, descendants was pres ent on tne grounds, mjo.

Maurice Moore, a grandson of Sir John Yeamans. established a colony there in 1725. It soon grew in impor tance, because it was the residence of the Governor and the meeting place of the council. .But space prevents giving any further idea of his inter esting address, whiih ia to be contin ued next year. w r The dispersing audience were sud denly stopped by hearing the voice of Mr. Geo. Kidder who, in his courtly manner, and in beautiful language, presented the Colonial Dames a basket of the most beautiful carnations and other flowers; an act gracefully con ceived, gracefully expressed and grace fully rendered as a deserved tribute. Dispersing, the large crowd prepared for and partook of .an elegant lunch. All were invited and none forgotten. Merry parties scattered around might have brought tifmind the merry days when the beautiful Rebecca Dry was the merriest belle of all the beauteous maids of Brunswick. The whistle of the steamer was com ing soon, but a cry came for the read ing of that gem of romances, "Tbe Bride of St. Philip's." It commanded the attention of young and old, and faithful to history, records the fact that the marriage of this charming maid was the only marriage service ever performed in St Philip's.
