View Somethiai of tbe Decorations and Featarts of toe Excellent Pro gramme Veterans larlted. Whether the weather be fair . or not to-night the Wilmington Light Infantry bazaar will.be a brilliant success. Of course, the favor of the elements is desired, especially as many features of the fete hare been appoint ed to take place, on the spacious and pretty lawn surrounding the hand some armory, .on . Market street, but should it be otherwise it will make do never minoV as the festiyaL will then take place within the armory buildiBjry which is admirahjyj Adapted 'for an affair of this kind. The able committee of arrangements culminated the plana yesterday and are to be complimented on their work, for the event is to be conducted on an exceptionally , novel as well a large scale. The entire commodious armory building and the surrounding lawns will be beautifully and profusely dee orated. " The chief decorations will consist of a display of handsome flags, pot plants, novel designed re freshment booths, cozy lovers' bowers, picturesque tete-a-tete spots, etc, while aloft will be .artistically strung numerous Japanese lanterns of various hues and designs. Besides, these pretty lanterns many elec tric globes, of different colors, will help illuminate the gay and fea-. tive scene. i The center of attraction will proba bly be the fine lawn in the rear of the building. Here will - be located the different booths, many of which will be appropriately fashioned as tents and each will be presided over by one of the Daughters of the Confederacy, who in turn will be assisted by a bevy of Wilmington's fairest and most charming daughters. On this lawn also will be found the lovers' nooks and' pretty festoned tables where choice edibles will be daintily served ; and here too, from an especially ar ranged stage, will take place the main feature of the sociable. This will be an elegant musicale, the programme of which" will be rendered by the city's best talent. It will include vocal solos by Mrs. Joseph Watters. Mrs. E. K. Bryan, Miss Mary Cole, Miss Woodward and little Miss Beck Love Johnson, and a nniane costume drill and dance di reeled by Miss BessieLBurU and exe a m & cuted by 2 score or more of. graceful maidens. Two other important feat ures will be a whistling solo by Miss Lizzie Otten, with violin obligate by Miss Alice Bmallbones and piano ac companiment by Miss Fannie Corbett, and choice selections by the Munson Quartette (Mr. EL EL Munson. direc tor), which is composed of the follow ing well known singers : Mr. C. H. Cooper, first tenor; Mr. Robert Banks, second tenor; Mr. Busie, first bass, and Mr. H. K. Holden, second bass. An other unique feature will be the attendance, in full uniform, of the company, a portion of which will mount guard round the building and lawn, making a veritable camp-fete of the bazaar, while the other part will add to the attractiveness of the event bv beta? of service on the lawn. The reserve and veteran corps of the com pany will also be present to lend aid. as they always do when their grand organization can be benefitted. The attendance at the bafaar will no doubt be large, as it should be, as the Tiraceeda are to be devoted to a Br thorough renovation of the armory, which will inelude some important im nrovements in tbe room of the "old vets." The work of decorating will com mence early this morning, and Capt. A. P. Adrian wishes all the members who possibly can to report and assist the ladies in the work. Donations can be sent to the armory at any and all times to day The-ladies in charge of the different departments are as follows: Candy booth, Mrs. L. L. Pritchard; ice cream booth, Mrs. Jno. O.

Garrett is Richmond's new third baseman from Charleston and a con scientious little fellow, .but an un skilled ball nlaver. He is well re membered here, having been with the Virginia team when it was in Wil mington last week. Barley Kain had everything his own way in the game with the Giants yesterday afternoon up to the last half of the ninth inning. Then it was that a dumb play allowed Wilmington to spread on a sensational finish that is seldom witnessed by cranks on any diamond. Here is the story of Richmond's ninth consecu tive defeat as telegraphed the Star last night by the sporting editor of the Richmond Times: "Richmond, Va., May' 29. Wil mington won in one of the prettiest contests of the season here to-day by the close score of six to five, the Giants having played an errorless game. Richmond third baseman, Garrett, was responsible for the de ft at of his team, and he was given his discharge to night bv Manager Kain.. dp to the ninth inning the score stood hve to two in favor of .Richmond. Some of the visiting players had started for the gate and the crowd was getting ready to leave. Warren went up first for Wilming ton. He singled and Then Bass gave McGinnis. four bad balls, forcing -Warren fo second. Allen went out to Bigbie and Sebring died at first.' In the meantime Bass pitch ed a wild 'ball and the two men on bases had crawled up one" bag. Warren scoring on Sebring's out at first. Clayton singled and McGinnia scored. One more run would tie the game. Crockett followed McGinnis with a single and just enough men were on the bases to win the game, with "Home Run" Stafford at the bat He hit a dingy little fly up over third base, which should have been caught by Garrett, but to the horror ot the crowd the third baseman muffed the ball and the game was lost. The attendance was '400. Wilmington left immediately after the game for New port News, where the local cranks predict she will 'get three out of the fourgames." SCORE BY INNINGS. 123456789 .

The Balls That Qsrrett Missed. ' With the dropping of yesterday's game, it meant nine straight losses for Richmond. "Johnnie" Foreman gives it out that he will leave to night . for New port News to join the team. And "Young" Tacks Allen was in pretty fair shape, though the honors were evenly divided between Bass and himself. Both the morning and afternoon games will be bulletined to-day at the store of the Fishblate Clothing Com pany just as they are played.'! Did . you note how the knockers went out of sight at Fishblate's yester day when the' four winning runs in the ninth were chalked up lor Y(u mington and it was seen in trujh that 'the Giants were not just giving away the game to seep ttmmu mo league." - Wilmington has three of the four games that she expected out of the '11 -'"'a- . I ' - : series of seven to be played on this week's trip. If. the "Hoss Editor" were not absent he would probably raise his figures to five out of seven or possibly six out of seven. There's no telling. ; . . Dame Rumor had it on the streets yesterday that the "Hoss Editor" had journeyed on from the confines of fair Maxton and would likely turn upon the bleacheries at Newport News for the double header to day. The report lacked confirmation, however, by grape-vine telegraph. - A double-header in Newport News to-day between the Shipbuilders and the Giants I Likewise between. Nor folk and Portsmouth ; in the morning at Portsmouth and in the afternoon at Norfolk. There will be only one game to-day, however, between Richmond and Raleigh at Richmond. The Richmond papers appear to be just a trifle more harsh in their criticisms of their own team than the circumstances warrant .The team when here 'gave Wilmington just all sh& wanted to do to beat them, and if here really ever was a team "suffer ing tinder pure downright hard luck it is Richmond's. They are all good players, but just haven't struck a winning streak. Oames On Other Diamonds.

Most Enloysble Banaoet Last Night by One of tbe Most Popular of Wil mlngtonl Fraternal Orders. The "Best People on Earth" the Elks held high carnival at their emple last night from 9:30 to 12 o'clock, the occasion being one of those greatly enjoyable and .highly successful affairs1-a social session for which the order everywhere is noted. Promptly at the hour designated the western parlor of the splend Temple building was thrown - open and. the banquet was inaugurated by Iredell Meares, Esq., as master of ceremonies, who in a graceful speech told of the Bohemian purpose of the assembly. Then the banquet was on and wit song, music and repartee followed 'fast and f u rious." No member of the seventy odd enthusiastic Elks present was allowed to escape, for each was called upon to entertain with the gift or talent for which he was locally distinguished. It is unnecessary to aay. that the- attempts at , en; taming by aehijw the . seventy men failed to materialize to -the. satisfaction' of the Master, and each was duly fined and the fines col lected by tbe Esquire, Dr. T. B. Car roll. "Jack" Bellamy assiduously cared for the collections in tbe capac ity of treasurer. Music was discoursed during the progress of the banquet by Senor Don VanCammierreo'a Italian Band, late of Venice, with piano accompaniment by Prof. Goodman. Amid all the levity of the evening, turning to more serious subjects, toasts were responded to in impres sive and eloquent words by Wm. J. Bellamy, Esq , who spoke on "Char ity," one of tbe main principles of the order always dispensed without ostentation and by Dr. Chas. T. Harper, who spoke upon another cardinal virtue of the order, "Fidel ity." Both were listened to with marked attention and applauded lib erally. The hall was beautifully decorated by lady friends of the Elks with pur ple banners and numerous flowers, and they were given a rising vote of thankrf or their kindly services in this particular. At 11 o'clock according to a time honored custom of the Elks a silent toast was drunk to . "Our Absent Brothers" and as the city clock chimed the hour of twelve, the mem bers dispersed each one to the full satisfaction that Wilmington Lodge, N,o. 533 B P. Ou. had scored an: other great success in that, its third social session. .The committee of arrangements for the event was as follows Thos. W. Davis (chairman),. T. B. Carroll, EL Lacy .Hunt Jno. R.
