secretary -Kroner Says It Does Not
Preclude' Possibility of Brent r
Next YearLettef Mailed.
The proposed truck "and fruit fair
for Charlotte, May 22nd and 83rd, and
Raleigh on the following couple of
days, haa been abandoned at the last
moment by Secretary T. - K. Bruner.
of the Agricultural Department whn
first agitated the moyement, as printed
in these columns a few days asro.
Secretary Bruner made a desperate I
effortJorthe. iairbut upon his Yiait
through the trucking belt last week, he
found the growers entirely too ; busy
to arrange representative exhibits.
The f following letter has been
mailed by Secretary Bruner' to the
truckenCwho manifested interest in the
enterprise. '
"The proposed Track and Fruit Fair
to be held at Oharlolte and Raleigh
next week, has. at the last moment,"
been abandoned. This aetion beeamA
imperative by reason of the failure
of the growers to respond with the
material for exhibition. The Depart
ment of Agriculture generously
agreed to pay the expenses attendant
upon such - a show of the pro
duce of our eastern farms as would
reflect credit upon both the grower
and the department. The nower.
who was to be benefitted by the ex
hibition, was only expected to suppIv
one crate or package pf the best pro
duct of his farm, which was to have
been shown fully labelled with his
name and address. But as only 18
growers responded to this appeal it was
found impossible to make an exhibit
at all commensurate with the great
trucking interest of our eastern coun -
ties, or to meet the wishes of the De
partment of Agriculture in present
ing that interest to the western part of
the State.
"This failure to respond is not con
sidered as arising from a lack of inter
est in the subject, but - rather from
want of time, in the rush of the ship
ping season, to give attention to the
matter. However, the result precludes
the possibility of making an exhibit
this year. . It is hoped that - by an
other year something may be done
along this line..
"Thanking you for' the interest you
have personally manifested in this
matter, I am. .
- "Yours very truly,
T. K. Bruhir, Secretary."

pure and simple, the kind we used to
play years and years ago, is what the
700 spectators at Hilton Park saw yes
ternoon, when Kelly's Red Birds went
up sgainst the Giants. The public ex
pected and -was entitled to a better ar
ticle of ball than it erot and indeed
Wilmington is not responsible for it,
for the Giants played splendid ball,
quick and snappy, but they had
nothing to encourage them tq bril
liancy or sensational playing. Of
course the game belonged to Wil
mington and the score was 11 to 2, but
that doesn't satisfy people who have
beer treated to good league ball all
the season. Worst of it. Raleigh didn't
seem to care whether she won or lost;
whether the score was three to twp or
three hundred to two. Kelly started
the ball to rolling when he entered a
flimsy protest against a run by Cranston
in the first inning and hen in the third,
when poor little Sutch had been
drubbed all about the lot, . he went
in the box himself and the game was
well nigh turned into a farce; Wil
mington had little encouragement to
continue the disfiguration of the score
board and Raleigh appeared to care
very little about manipulations in that
Vicinity.
Two little inffeld hits and a flv out
to Sebring by Sramley, Hennegar and
Kelly was the way the Red Bjrds
opftied the pot and "Qeddy" Cranston
was presented with the initial sack;
Crockett popped out to Atz and Oapt.
"Kid" Clayton singled oyer short;
Sebying was presented with base and
McGinnis flew out to centre field;
Cranston scored before Clayton was
called out at second. Here Kelly saw
the game slipping from his hands and
decided he'd rather protest than to lose
without any "trimmin'a." Clayton
was midway between second and third
when Mack's fly was caught by Cen
tre, but he raced over third and to the
home plate about the same time, as
Qranston scored on a throw home by
Centre. It suddenly occurred to the
bewildered Red Birds that Clayton
had not tagged second after Mack's fly
was caught and after "Redy" had
dusted himself from his long slide and
was about to take his steat on the
bench, LeGrande threw tbe ball
to second and pat out Clayton,
he having been the third man down.
This, remember, after Cranston had
scored. Forthwith Mr. Kelly, who
says he knows all about the game,
entered his protest against Cranston's
scoring upon the ground that Urans
ton scored while the play was being
made which retired Clayton, the third
man down. If there was any play
being tiade nobody saw it, but that
didn't hinder Kelly from putting in
his scrap of paper to the umpire and
robbing the game of its charm.
In the second inning, Atz and Meade
went out from third and Sherman from
Allen. Warren got first on Meade's
error : stole second, but is called out
at third on Thackara's Single; Delaney
fouled out and Allen hit for two bags,
scoring Thackara on a wild throw to
second; Allen scores on Cranston's
single and Cranston stole second;
Crockett went out from second.
Two infield hits and a fan by Le
Grande tell the tale for Raleigh in the
third. Clayton got first on Hennegar's
error, but two balls got in play some
where and he was caught napping; Se
bring went out to second; McGinnis
singles and scores on Warren's two
base nit. Kelly puts Sutch on first
bag and goes in the box himself!
Thackara hit to short and makes sec
ond on Meade's wild throw : to first.
which allows Allen to Cross the plate;
Delaney singles over second and
Thackara scores. Allen flies out to
Meade..;
In the fourth, Stanley singled and
got - second on "Thack's" excusable
passed ball ; Hennegar pops out to
Crockett and Stanley scores on Kelly's
hit; Atz and Meade went out from
short and second. Cranston went out
from second; Crockett singles and gets
second Sherman's error; Olaytonnnd
Sebring fan.
The fifth inning finds Sherman with

the proposition of the State for the
organization of a regimental band in
this city, whereupon the proposition
was very readily accepted and those
above enlisted for a period of three
years.
By-laws' and a constitution for the
civil government of the band were
adopted. In these it is provided that
in the executive committee is vested
-the authority to make all independent
engagements. Meetings for practice
will be held every Tuesday night at the
W. L. L armory and on the last Tues
day night in each month a business
meeting will be held.
The proposition-of the Wilmington
Light Infantry to provide quarter! for
the band in its handsome armory on
Market street was accepted, with
thankB.
Adjutant Davis says that he will for
ward the. requisite 'r all the equip
ment to-day or to-morrow and that
the instruments will arrive in about
ten days and the two sets of uniforms
in about three weeks.
The band is now composed, with tbe
exception of four men, of musicians of
the old Se&md Regiment Band, who.
still retain their membership in the
latter organization. Tbe other four,
make nineteen in all, eame from the
old Germania .Band. The ranks of the
new hand wilToe recruited to twenty
two men this week from eight or ten
applications now on file.
The band is fortunate in securing the
services of Prof S. A. Schloss as
leader and instructor and the Star pra
dicts for the new organization a very
bright future.

Boat in Place of tbe "Climax."
At a conference in this city yester
day at noon of President Oliver Evans,
of Fayetteville; Vice President R. B.
Meivin, of Dublin, and General
Manager T. D. Love, of Wilmington,
all of the Merchants' and Farmers'
Transportation Company, it was de
cided to rebuild at once a steamboat
for the Cape FJir River trade, to take
the place of the Climax, which was
burned at the wharf fire here .last
week as she was about to be com
pleted.
The dimensions and model of the
new boat will be the same as the one
burned and there will be a delay of
only about thirty days in getting the
new craft upon the river, as all this
preliminary work will not have to be
repeated. The machinery, brand new
from the factory, had not been placed
n the burned boat and consequently
this will be on hand just as soon as the
hull is completed. ,
