The good ship "Mary J." managed
to get safely into harbor with sails
slightly fragmented on the Hilton dia
mond yesterday afternoon, despite the
herculean efforts of the Wilmington
Giants to pound her to pieces as she
passed safely into the haven in the
third inning with six good and true
runs to her credit The Giants prior
to that time had a good safe lead with
one run each in the first and second
innings, but they went from good to
bad, to indifferent, and there's where
they last. - Secretary Ed. Doran was at
the helm this time and steered the old i
tub, called the "Mary Jane," past the
rocks of adversity and snug in har
bor. President Cunningham could
abide the ship no longer, for he ap
pears to have been the "Jonah" aboard
all the time, -and when he left yester
day mornirg for Baleigh Secretary
Doran took the boys in tow and pilot
ed them safely through.
Weeks and Gwaltney composed the '
battery for the Skippers and the latter
did excellent work at bat aa well as
behind the plate. Foreman and "Our
Own Beddy" did the battery work for
the locals, but "Brownie" had a day
off every pitcher has them and
contented himself with aerial per
formances during the game, being at
one time way up in a balloon; the
next in a parachute lAaded earthward
and tbe next in the box, pitching stiff,
good balL that outclassed Weeks two
to one. Tjpon the whole he got only"
fair support, and though the opposing
pitcher appeared "dead easy" some
how the Wilmington sluggers could
not connect with the ball for any-appreciable
gains and - the game appears
an up Vree to -have " beenloai
by excusable indifferent playing. -
About 600 people saw the exhibition
and it was 4 o'clock when the fire
works began. The , "Mary Janers"
opened up with a single by Spratt, a
sacrifice by Smith and two infield
hits by Mullen andGilligan, E., which
retired the side. For Wilmington
Cranston got his usual promenade but
was forced at second by Crockett:
McGinnis singled but Gwaltney
caught him at second. Stafford went
for two bags through third ; Crockett
scored and Clayton went out from
short.
In the second the Skippers went out
on infield hits after B. Gilligan had
walked and been forced out at third on
a' hit by McDade; a bunt by Morrisey
and a high fly by Gwaltney. For
Wilmington, Allen was presented
with first base ; Warren sacrificed, and
Allen stole third ; Delaney got a
promenade and filched second; Fore
man flew out to left and Allen stole
home ranston .walked and Delaney
stole third, ft looked like at least-two
more runs when "Davy" Crockett
came up, but he went out from second.
In the third, the Skippers began to
lash their raft together and Spratt,
who has a league reputation for beat
ing the atmosphere, was given his
base and Smith singled to right; Mul
len bunted perfectly safe ; E. Gilligan
hit to short, and Gwaltney, who ran
for Spratt, was thrown out at home.
Indifference began to creep into the
game. Gilligan walks on umpire's
fishy judgment, foroicg Smith v in;
Morrisey singles, scoring Mullen and
E. Gilligan, and "Beddy" Gilligan
crossed the plate on . Crockett's error;
McDade goes out from Foreman;
Gwaltney singles to centre, scoring
Morrisey ; Weeks goes to left fpr two
bags, scoring Gwaltney, and the score
waa 6 to 2, when Spratt flew out to
Crockett Wilmington came up and
was unable to scores
; In the fourth,- Smith and Mullen
bunted safely, but E. Gilligan failed
in a similar attempt; "Beddy" Gilli
gan came up and scored Smith and
Mullen on a long drive to left for
three bags; Morrisey walked and B."
Gilligan scored for the last time on
McDade's single. Wilmington hardly
got beyond the infield and when the
fifth inning came up the score was y
to 2. ' "r-
in the- fifth, neither team . crossed
the plate and went out in tne oraer oi
their batting In the sixth, Norfolk
filled un the bases, but did nothing,
Wilmington went up and Allen, after
walking, scored on Warren's drive to
left for two bags:
In ' the seventh, Norfolk wenf .out
on infield hits,' and McGinnis, for
Wilmington! went out to short and
Stafford drove to left for two bases,
scoring onClay ton's three base hit to
left Allen walked ana stoie seconu,
but the VKid'f was v thrown ; out at
home ; Warren- singled and Allen
scoredv on Gwaltney's wild throw to
third: Delaney fanned.- ? 5 - v
In the eighth, Mullen went out on
StJNDAY, MAT 12, 1901,
a beautiful running catch of Delaney ;
GllUean EL, Weeks and Gilligan, "the
Bed," hits safe and too warm to pitcher.
If there was a decided feature of the
game it came just here, when the Bide
is retired by Clayton's catch of Morri-
sey's hot drive, with a double to first
Wilmington came up and fared rather
bad at Umpire Staley's hands that
waa alL-
In the ninth, McDade and Weeks
fanned; Gwaltney got first on War
ren's error, and Spratt popped out to
Staff ord. . Wilmington gave up the
game : when Stafford - went out, easy
from second, , Clayton hit for two
bags, -Alien walked. Warren fanned,-
Delaney walked . and- filled up the
bases, and Thackara l(for - Foreman)
hit out to short
Features of the game, for Wilming

Notes of the Game;
"Tacks" Allen made three of the
five runs for the Giants yesterday,
and a reputation for himself for pur
loining bases.
"Brownie" Foreman is all right it
was simply his off day yesterday, and
at that he pitched a better game than
Weeks for Norfolk.
The Wilmington team leaves this
morning via the A. C. L. for Baleigh
for three games, and Baleigh will re-'
Jaumith-libelants for .three, other,
games here Thursday, Friday and
Saturday of thia week. Secretary
Doran said yesterday that . Mr. Up-
church would umpire the series at
Baleigh and Wilmington this week.
Mr. Staley left with the Norfolk team
for home last night where he will
umpire the games there and at Ports
mouth, alternatively between these
two teams. Bichmond and Newport
News play this week; first at Newport
News, then at Bichmond. The fol
lowing week Bichmond, and Ports
mouth come to Wilmington in their,
order; then Wilmington goes to Bich
mond for three games and Newport
News comes here.
The Norfolk boys are a clever set
of fellows, but are in hard luck. Wil
mington also enjoyed a visit during
the Norfolk games from two of the
biff League magnates. President Cun
ningham and Secretary Doran. They
were most agreeable company in base
ball circles, renewed old acquaintances
and made many new ones.
Capt "Bob" Stafford will play in
Monday's game at Baleigh, but Mon
day night he leaves for Greensboro on
some legal business that could not be
avoided. In the other two games he
will not be with the .team, but the
guiding reins during the game will be
in other competent hands.

NEED QF A FIRE LIGHTER.
It Was Demonstrated by the Blaze is Em

aClob Lost Probable Orlfln of
. .. the Coaflsftstlon.
r
Little remains to be told of the .de
structive fire earljayesterday morning
on the river front, between Chesnut
and Grace streets, from what has al
ready been published in these . col
umns.- r;
Although the wind was compara
tirely calmvnd shifted to.as to carry
thjands40if
the blaze began leaping into the air
and shooting sparks and cinders to
ward the east the fire department did
well in confining the loss to the block
in which the fire started and saving
much from total destruction that was
in that block. , The losses will prob
ably not reach the $100,000 mark as
hurriedly estimated before the flames
were subdued, but it is certain that
they will aggregate as much as
$75,000.
The estimates on individual prop
erty as given in yesterday's Star were
practically correct, with the excep
tion of the Schlitz Brewing Company's
plant, the damage to which will prob
ably not exceed $250; the Wilming
ton Brokerage Company found its
loss only about $250, with no insur
ance; Roger Moore's Sons & Co., will
have a loss of about $1,500, but they
are fully protected by insurance. Mr.
8. P. McNair's loss is $21,500, with
$18,500 insurance and a loss not men
tioned in yesterday's account is 'our
boats belonging to the Y. M. O. A.
boat club, valued at $60 with no in
surance.
The fire clearly demonstrated the
need of a fire lighter for fighting
flames of that character from the
river. Apparatus of this kind could
have been used to much advantage
yesterday morning. Another need
of the department appeals to be
horses for the reserve engine. Two
hose reel horses had to be sent to the
Sixth and Castle station yesterday
morning for the "Adrian."
The origin of the fire is now thought
to have been in the warehouse at the
south of the burned wharf and prob
ably came from colored boys, who
gathered about in nooks' and corners
there to sleep. The firemen and
those who first discovered the blaze
do not think it came from the first
fire in dpt. Metts' hay warehouse.

be given under the direction of Miss
Cammie Lord for tbe benefit of
the Daughters of the Confeder
acy, tse sure and get tnere in
time to see the grand parade at

all the fairy tales, because you only
read them, and there you will - see a
true Queen, who will ride in a chariot
made of a single rose, ordered from
Fairyland , for the occasion, and
four fat little Cupids will be her
horses. Then you will seethe King
of ButUrflies, he is just grand,
and twelve real live butter
flies, just like the ones. you try to
catoh under your hat in Summer. Then
there will come pretty Rainbow fairies,
who will come down to earth on their
ladder, the rainbow, and stay here just
that one night, so don't fail to see
them. The Bogey-Man will be there,
too, (don't get frightened), and eight
terrible goblins, who chase two funny
little coons while they dance the
"Pickaninie" dance. Then there will
be some little people from Gooseland.
Of course you know the rhyme:
"Mary, Mary, quite contrary, How
does your garden grow? With silver
bells and cockleshells, And, pretty
maids all in a row." Mary bas prom
ised to let us have a peep into her
lovelv garden, if she does not change
her min before then. She will fall
asleep, and as she sleeps, a little fairy
steals in and gives her a magical wand,
whereupon fairy music is heard, Mary
awakes, discovers the wand, and finds
by waving it all the cockleshells, etc.,
turn into beautiful children and dance
before, her. ' At last the curtain will
go down with the flowers whirling
their petals madly around, the butter
flies swarming, the little pickaninnies,
goblins and Bogey-Man peeping at
you for tne last time, ana tne rainoow
fairies showing you their home up in
the skv. and the Queen and Cupids
nodding you their good-night Tickets
will be on sale Tuesday morning at
Yates'. -
