SPLENDID BOOKINGS
For the Wilmington and Greens
boro Opera Houses for
Next Season.
MR. SCHLOSS MANAGES BOTH.
The Season Will be a Bit Improvement
On Last It Will Open in Aognst
With Matthews and Bnljer in a
New Musical Comedy.
When one theatrical season termi
nates there is always a desire to know
if anything good may be expected for
the next. The 1900 01 season at the
Wilmington Opera House closed a
month or so ago, so now eyes turn to
the coming one, which Manager
Bchlosa says is to far surpass the last.
The past season was a very successful
one, though not an artistic triumph. It
preuteUnmD"er'6Tgbod attrac
tions, which our theatregoers duly
appreciated. Of course, the bookings
for next season are not near com
pleted, though there are enough
standard ones already dated to show
that the list will be unusually strong.
The season will be Inaugurated
the latter part of August by
Matthews & Bulger, whose last sue
cess, "The Night of the Fourth,"
can be recalled readily and with
pleasure. These two comedians will
be presented by the well known
managerial firm Broadhurst Bros., of
"What Happened to Jones" fame, in
a brand new musical creation entitled
"Adolph and Rudolph."
Then in October the splendid opera,
the "Wizard of the Nile," that helped
Frank Daniels up the ladder in New
Tork two seasons ' or so ago, wiil
appear, and 'Jong about in December
the popular "Belle of New York" will
be on the boards. October is also to
bring along Al Q. Fields' Minstrels
and this time it will be Al himself. j
After Xmas will give rise to some i
first-rate attractions, in the lead being
Sousa's Band, James O'Neill, Odette
Tyler and a big scenic revival of
Ouida's "Under Two Flags," which
the past season has enjoyed excep
tionally big success in New York city.
Odette Tyler's achievements are so
well known that it is not necessary to
introduce her. She will be seen in
conjunction with the favorite actor,
R. B. McLean,
These are only some of the main'
bookings, as Manager Schloss is mak
ing new contracts almost daily and
about the last part of July or first part
of August he will go to New York to
"touch up" his representatives there.
Klaw & Erlanger. Not only is he
booking attractions for the house in
this city, but alscxfor the new theatre
in GreeHsboro, which is now under
his management' He states that the
bookings for the new play house will
practically be the same as here, so
consequently Greensboro theatre
goers may also expect a flattering sea
son's offering.
A manager for the Greensboro house
has not yet been selected, but in ail
probability will be before July 10, as
upon that day it will be opened.
ARMORY IMPROVEMENTS.
Planned by the Light Infantry Hand-
some Balldlng Will be Thor
oughly Renovated.
While the amount of money suf
ficient for making the contemplated
improvements at the handsome arm
ory of. the Wilmington Light Infantry
has not been raised, yet the plans for
the improvement and some necessary
alterations have been formulated.
About the only alteration of impor
tance that will take place will be the
concerting of the piazza on the north
ern end of the building and the small
room at the northwestern corner into
a large band room for the use of the
Second Regiment Band. The band
already has its quarters at the armory,
but when the new apartments are pre
pared for their reception they will be
strictly "in it," as they intend to make
it an ideal band hall.
The bath rooms in the buUding are
to be transferred from the third floor
and located at an advantageous point
in the basement.
Almost all the rooms and halls of the
building are to be repapered and the
paint brush daubed here and there in
an artistic manner. The outside of the
building will also come in for its
share. In fact, the armory is to be
thoroughly renovated and put in tip
top shape.
In Honor of Mrs. Belden. . ;
Mrs. W. N. Cronly gave a . tea yes
terday afternoon in honor of Mrs.
Arthur Belden, of Birmingham. It
was a delightful affair and took place
at the Cronly residence, corner
Second and Ann streets. Mrs. Cronly
and her guest of honor received tbeir
guests in the attractively decorated
parlors of the house between the hours
of 5 and 7 o'clock.
Suspect Waddell Set Free.
There were no new developments in
the Price murder case ' yesterday,, but
the detectives are still hard at work.
Suspect Waddell has been discharged
from custody. He was set free yester.
day morning on an order from Justice
Fowler's court, as there was . no eyi
dence against him.

SEVERAL ADMIRALTY CASES
Will Likely be Tried by Judge Purnell
Here Next Week.
Judge Thos. R. Purnell, of the
United States District Court, will ar
rive in the city the early part of next
week to attend the meeting of the Bar
Association. While here he will
likely give hearing to several admir
alty cases. One case will, be tried
any way, provided counsel representing
both sides are ready. It is a suit
brought by London Cotton, colored,
against the New York steamship Sagi
naw, for $5,000 alleged damages, sus
tained by him while working in the
hold of the ship.
The accident happened last Decem
ber. Cotton was hit by a falling
hatch and claims that he sustained
severe bodily injuries, his head being
mashed, shoulder dislocated and seve
ral ribs broken. He alleges that the
accident was due to a person in charge
of the dummy engine which was
hoisting the cargo from the hold.
where he was working. That the
person running the engine was not an
engineer, but hid been left in charge
by the engineer and that his. incom
petency caused a piece of freight to
collide with the hatch, which was dis
lodged from its position and fell,
hitting and injuring him as set forth
in the complaint.
The plaintiff will be represented by
Herbert McClammy, Esq., and W. J.

Special Star Telegram. I
Norfolk, Va , June 21. The cham
pionship for the first half of the Vir
ginia-Carolina League was settled to
day by Wilmington taking the Nor
folk boys into camp, to the tune of 7
to 3, and though we don't look for a
brass" band at the train and an ice
cream festival with all the "rooterinas"
invited and a guarantee of an intro
duction all around, still we feel that
we have worked conscientiously and
deserve a reasonable amount of cred
it ; and if we do not win the second
.series, the people who fight against us
will know when the "grand finale"
comes, that they have been up against
the "real thing," at any rate.
The management and players have
worke in perfect harmony and there
has been a feeling of good fellowship
and interest that does not always show
up in a professional base ball team ;
and though there have been knockers
on the outside who have swung the
mighty sledge, still we won it and
have only a feeling of sympathy for
those, as Kipling bays, "who do not
understand."
But the game. Those who saw the
game to-day left the ground with
sundry impressions. The umpire
smelled like a piece of tripe after a
day or two of exposure to the sun of
the Sunny South, still he was consis
tent and tried to cheer up, only to get
himself in deeper water. Our boys
had ginger to burn ; they hit the ball
wbenahits meant runs and jollied the
Norfolk boys along till poor Mr. Cun
ningham's heart was like a piece of
gum arabic stretched clear across his
bosom. In the third, Smith walked
and Stewart, anticipating a steal,
made a bluff at the batter, then threw
to Stafford, catching Smith off the
the base. Smith ran for second and
Bob threw to "Lizzie," who gave
Smith a rap on the head that relieved
him of bis cap; but Staley, who is
afraid in Norfolk, said "safe!"
We howled, but before the smoke
cleared away they had .knocked
in three runs which sufficed for their
share during the game. We had our
fun in the fourth, too. "Scissors"
cracked one down to big Kemmer, but
it was too hot for "little Willie." and
he booted it. Then Stafford, after at
tempting to sacrifice, lambasted one
out in left- garden, landing "Sliver"
on third, while he pulled up at second.
Then Sebring hit a hot one to Slagle
who fumbled, then fielded it home,
but tbe the umpire said Davy was safe
and a howl went up from grand stand
and bleachers while Cunningham
ordered camphor. On the first ball
pitched Sebring went to second and no
one covered the bag ; Stafford scored
McGinn is siugled to left, scoring
Sebring, ")ac" going to second on the
throw in. Vitewart scoreel him on a
pretty single to left. Clayton retired
the side on a fly to the infield.
In the sixth Sebring rapped out a
scorching single and stole second and
was scored by McGinnis' two-bagger
to right In the seventh Warren led
off with a ripping two-bagger over the
centre fielder's head and was scored
by Stewart's sacrifice and Clayton's
single. We scored in the "eighth on
an error by Smith and Sebring's
single.
. We all played great ball, and went
in with that spirit that brings many a
game "down home." "
Newport News has been transferred
to Tarboro and Portsmouth, rom to
Charlotte. Voltz and Rapp will re
port in Charlotte Monday. Wilming
ton plays in Tarboro Monday Tuesday
and Wednesday; and Charlotte plays
in Raleigh on those dates.'
An Episode,
After leaving Hotel Madison, in
Portsmouth, the following appeared
in the VirginianPilott and I was
asked to write a reply, which folJows:
"Wilmington Players Offended
Clerk. Montague, of Madison Hotel,
was made indignant by the conduct
of the Wilmington base ball team,
which registered at the hostelry Sun
dav afternoon. Durine supper mem
bers of the team amused themselves
by singing and, according to the hotel
people, tossing spoons and forks at
one another. Mr. Montague put up
such a vigorous remonstrance that
the Wilmington people got offended
and left the place."
Deceiving ihe Public.
In justice to the Wilmington base
ball club, the members of that organi
zation desire to answer the "Effort" of
the Madison representative which ap
peared in this morning's Filot The
facts of the case are as follows:
" The, members of the team were as
signed such rooms at the "Beanery,'
fnown as Hotel Madison, -that even
the oldest leaguer in the crowd looked
askance-and held his nose while he
sat down his baggage and humed out
Most of the rooms were occupied,
some of the, occupants were alive and
some were dead, but those that still
breathed scampered over the bed, hid
in cracks and under the pillows, .cast
ing a hungry eye as they pondered
over the prospect of a tauurn mnnt
when, bedtime came. Then the man
agement decided to leave after sup
per. The clerk watched through the
window to see that there was no fruit'
taken from the table?, and the boys
joked and laughed. However, we
heard nothing from the clerk untfl he
found we had decided to leave. Then
he charged us Waldorf-Astoria prices,
ai wrote us up in the paper just be
causf? he was mad. We don't care to
stop at Hotel Madison. We were not
turned out over there, nor- have we
been from any hotel. Nor have we
had any trouble at any hotel." We
ferl, however, that to be asaed to
leave a "tavern" like Hotel Madison
would be a personal favor to any one.

The Worst Is Passed, And
the Giants Can't Ff Beaten Now.
Fourteen hits and nary error.'
Read the Star's Norfolk special
telegram. It is a warm number.
The rooters and rooterinas were
in high glee over the news from Nor
folk yesterday.
Whether the Giants win or lose
to-day they will be at the top of the
percentage column.
The Giants covered themselves
with glory. Meet them at the train
when they come home.
The new series of games will be
gin Monday, when the old figures will
be rubbed out and all the teams make
an even start
O'Steenis said to have jumped
Newport News Thursday and made
tracks for North Carolina. To what
team is not stated.
The Star's roosters heard the
glad tidings from Norfolk and crowed
triumphantly over the surrender of
the crew of the Mary Jane with all
of the appurtenances.
Even if Norfolk and Newport
News win to-day and Wilmington is
allowed but one-forfeited Portsmouth
game, we will still be on top to-night
when the first series of games .ends.
Next week Wilmington wilplay
the,Tarboro team, (formerly Newport
News) at Tarboro, Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday. The same teams will
probably play in Wilmington Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday.
The horse editor files a caveat on
the Raleigh News and Observer in the
matter of a trade mark for the new
Charlotte team. We even got ahead
of the . Charlotte papers in calling
them "Hornets." All rights reserved.
President Dick received a wire
last night from Manager H. B. Pes
chau, stating the advisability of
the Giants opening the new series at
Tarboro next week, playing there
Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday.
President Dick wired him to go to
Tarboro; so we won't see the cham
pions until the latter part of next
week. ,
The rollicking, rooterlng, re

to claim as its. own the game that
Portsmouth did not play, Raleigh will

BRILLIANT OPENING
Last Night of the Popular Atlan
tic Yacht Club of Wrights
ville Beach.
MOS SUCCESSFUL OF YEARS.
A Big Dance and Other Pleasurable Fea
tures Clob' Building Beautifully
Decorated Many Strangers
; Were Present.
The formal opening of the popular
Atlantic Yachf Club, of Wrightsville
Beach, took place last night and was
a brilliant success. It surpassed by
far . the openings of former years,
which is sayine mnch, as every
naugural social event in ttie history
of.theclub has-been a big success.
Theattendance, last vejp wjasalso
timisuallylarge and everybody had a
splendid time. The hospitality of the
club was showed by the clubmen of
both Carolina and Hanover and also
by many strangers. In fact the large
number of visitors was marked and
the clever entertainment committee
men were always solicitous after their
pleasure.
The main feature was, of course, a
big dance in the airy ball room of the
club building, though great enjoyment
was derived from moonlight strolls
on the beach, where red fire was
burned almost constantly, to enliven
the scene, or delightful tete a-tetes on
the cool club house piazza, which was
illuminated by many Japanese lan
terns. Delicious ices and other refresh
ments were daintly served during the
evening.
The large crowd in attendance re
turned to " the city on the midnight
train.
The Atlantic Club intends to follow
up last night's successful opening
dance with many similar 6nes. The
Fourth of July will also be another
Red Letter day in the history of the
club.
MISSTATEMENTS CORRECTED.

The joint action taken by the Cham

The Liverpool Journal is devoted to
noting dues and charges made on
shipping in foreign ports, and it was
along this line that Wilmington
was misrepresented, which envoked
prompt action by our two live commer
cial bodies.
Work of the Encampment Committee.
The encampment committee was on
its rounds yesterday and succeeded in
increasing the subscription list many
dollars. They are working zealously
and deserve much credit. Our citi
zens, too, are to be commended upon
their willingness to assist Especially
is credit due to the lumber companies
of the city who have donated suffi
cient material for the entire camp
work. Each and every lumber com
pany in the city responded generously
and will ,not in the slightest reap
any benefit except from the satisfac
tion in knowing that they acted as
live citizens and promoted the inter
ests of the city.
The committee will resume its work
this doming.
