DAY WE CELEBRATE Fourth of July Will Be Very Elaborately Celebrated By Wilmington Folks. THE VARIOUS ATTRACTIONS Programmes- of Resplendent Features at the Beaches and Other Resorts. Admirable Schedules on All Transportation Lines. "The Glorious Fourth" a some phrase, doubtless fla: at hackneyed yed at the edges, but nevertheless very expressive as applied to the big; hUiday as it will be observed in Wil mington and its vicinity to day. A general outline of the features of celebration at the beaches and at other adjacent retreats was given in j eater day morning's j?aper, and as the average citizen has already decided the all absorbing qneation of "where shall I spend the holiday I" it is unnecessary, to repeat programmes at this late hour. It will be an all-day affair, it Sitters not where the "Fourth" is taken in. At Wrightsville both Carolina and Atlantic clubs have resplendent pro grammes for the entertainment of their members and invited guests and both hotels will arrange their daily routine to conform to' the spirit of the day. The high diving of Prof. Holland and the base ball game between local teams will be among the features. The Wil mington Seacoast Railroad has on its emergency schedule of ten trains each way and one may leave or return to the city at will. The annual regatta of the Carolina Yacht CJub at Wrightaiille will, ot course, be fraught with its old-time interest. It will begin at 10:80 A. M. promptly and the following entries have been made, with captain and handicap allowed each: "Emma" C. W. Worth, none. "Phantom" John Williams, none "Frolic" T. W. Davis, 3:54. "Eugenia" Geo. Harriss, 4:48. "Sadie" S. P. Cowan, 5:16. "Questio1" R. A. Parsley, 5:30. UnqueU Dr. Thomas, 5:30. "Lark"-Jlayton Giles, 5:30. "Lrk" Davis, 5:30. "Mabel" J. VanB. Metts, 9:00. "Sprite" H. B. Peschau, 10:50. At Carolina Beach the principal feature&f celebration will be by Eyota Tribe No. 5, Improved Order of Red Men, which will take this occasion to have its annual excursion thither, and by the Hanover Seaside Club, which .will have a number nf festive features for the pleasure of its friends and members. An ad mirable schedule has been arranged by Capt. Harper for the steamer Wil mington, which may be seen by refer ence to another column.. The fare for the round trip on any boat will be twenty five cents. Many Wilmingtonians will "take in' the celebration at Southport, which this year will be of more than passing interest as was referred to at length in yesterday's paper. There will be salutes from .the big guns at the Fort and the cutter Algonquin wi 1 also usher in the National holiday with the Jboomiog of guns. At night the splendid vessel will give an exhibition of .the work with its electric search light, which must be seen to be ap predated. The steamer Compton will observe the following programme for the day: Leave the city at 8:30 A. M., 3:00 and 7:30 P.M. Leave Southport at 11:30 A. M., 5:30 and 11:80 P. M. The steamer Southport will also connect with the Wilmington at each arrival at Carolina Beach pier. - Another popular retreat to day will be Lake Waccamaw, and for the ac commodation of tbe public the A. C. L. will run a special train, leaving the city this morning at 8 o'clock and. re turning at 8 o'clock to night. The fare for the round trip will be only 75 cents. At the Ocean View Hotel. -Visitors to Wrightsville Beach to day can find no better place lor amusement than., the Ocean view HoteL There will be music and dancing all day at the pavilion, while those not interested in terpischorean "features may turn their attentions to surf bathing, feasting etc., to say nothing of playing the "one baby, one cigar; two baby, two cigars; three baby, half a dollar" game that is going on there with the grinning "coon" behind the canvas. There is also a "cane rack" in full operation and at night there will be "a splendid display of fireworks. -The hotel' will serve a sumptuous "Fourth of July" dinner to it's guests. - No Paper To-moryiw. Conforming to the usual custom in tne Wilmington newspaper world, there will be no issue of the Stab to morrow, notwithstanding the double header at Raleigh to day.- The public will doubtless appreciate the fact that the "Fourth" should be as "glorious" for the newspaper worker as well as for the remaining contingent of man kind. ffBW ADVERTISEMENTS - D.

Sebring pitched the first four innings and he led off superblyA but in the third and fourth innings the visitors jumped on his puzzlers with a ven geance and pounded him for three runs. Then the sturdy little Warren perched upon the slab and with no practice whatever this season, held the score and hits down to a nicety. JSis work was really of a very high ordeat The visiting "Statesman" gave us a gilt edge article and though he was liberal in the distribution , of free passes, he allowed but one hit and was in the game up to his neck all the way through. Had the regular de pleted pitching staff not have been' held in reserve for the double-header at Raleigh to-day, it is doubtful if the Giants could even then have with stood the onslaughts of Mr. Smith, who easily outclasses either Grand Stand Favorite Stanley or Good Na- tured Stocksdale. Both teams went out beautifully in the first inning, "Davy" having gotten the only single. The run-get ting by the visitois opened up in the second on a pass to Atz, a sacrifice by Borber and a passed ball by Thackara. The "Turckles" salted away another run in the third on a two base' hit by Smith and an error of Clayton by which the batter got third, a pass to Venable, an un effectual hit by Stanley to second on which Smith crossed the rubber with two men down. . Kelly went out to short The fourth silenced the rooters and rooterinas when Atz, the very first man up, smashed out a double and Sorber, next at tbe willow, lined out a three bagger, scoring Atz Hennager, out to pitch; Stockdale walks; Lie Grande flies out to deep left; Sorber scores ; Smith forces "Stocks" at second and the funeral procession has stopped. In the fourth the agony was tempor arily suspended and Warren relieved Sebring in the box, Allen assuming third cushion and Sebring going to his accustomed "posish" inTeft The visitors got their first run on Warren in the sixth on one of those rare (not rank) errors of Devlin, a pass to Hennager and a scratch hit by Stocksdale. Then for two innings King Kelly could do nothing with Warren and ditto Wilmington as to Mr. Smith. The Turtles, however, got their backs up in the ninth and added another horizontal to the run-gettfng column on an error of Allen in hand ling Stocksdale's hit, LeGrande's sac rificeanda conglomeration of putre fied errors resulting from "Tacks'" In advertency; in not being in his position when "Stocks' " happened to be' mak ing his way home, via third base. Features of the game were Stocks dale's. one hand catch of Crockett's drive ; Smith's pitching, which was the best ever seen on this diamond this sea son, and Devlin's beautiful stop of a line drive by first base. The latter took the breath from the cotton bloom editor of the Star, i SCORE BY INNINGS. 123 4 5 6789 RHB Raleigh .. . .... .0 1 1 2 0 1 0 0 16 4 3 Wilmington .,.00000001 0-0 I 6 - Batteries; Smith and LeGrande; Sebring, Warren and Thackara.

The Turtle Victory , Was Not Unexpected. 5 Warren showed capacity in the box and will make a good reserve pitcher. Raleigh has four good pitchers, and two of them work in the out field regularly. , - Those who believed the Giants would win yesterday were "few and far between." - To the lady lovers of base ball: Don't forget the meeting at the Elks1 Temple at 5.30 to-morrow afternoon It is expected that Allen will pitch in the morning and Stewart in the afternoon game at Raleigh to-. day The Giants and Turtles tf ft for Raleigh last evening at 7 o'clock. They were due at Raleigh about 11 p. m. If tbe Giants, in their crippled condition, can win two of the four games at Raleigh they will do wonder fully well. . : Sebring distrusted himself before be went in the box. He safd- he was apprehensive that he could not con trol the ball. July 8th, 9th and 10th Wilming ton plays at Charlotte. On the 11th, 12th and 13th Charlotte plays our Champions here. The horse editor, along with the Star family, will take a rest to-day. Consequently, there will be no paper issued Friday. We'll come again Saturday. Now that the management have taken action in the matter of supply ing one of the two crying needs of the Champions, the lovely women of Wilmington may be relied on to do thereat. Richmond Disvatch: "Manaeer Ashen back, of (he Tarboro team, who went to Philadelphia at the close of the game on Monday, sent three play ers from Philadelphia and one from vyaanington for a trial." Warren went in the box at the beginning of the fifth inning. He held the Turtles down to two runs during the remainder of the game, and one of these runs was the result of rank errors by the Giants The fair rooterinas are urged to attend the meeting to be held at the Elks' Temple Friday afternoon at 5 30. They are relied on to make the bazaar or lawn party to be given for the benefit of the Champions a complete success. ' Wilmington was compelled to sacrifice the game to Raleigh in order that she might reserve Stewart and Allen (her only pitchers) for the two games in ' Kaleign to day. Is any argument now necessary to show that a third pitcher should be engaged? The faithful four hundred who looked on in dismay at the game yes terday will be glad to-know that an other good pitcher was - telegraphed for last night, and is expected at Ra leigh in time for Saturday's game. He is said to be also a good batter and outfielder. Another Pitcher Slfned. Announcement is made by the management of the Wilmington team that Pitcher Willig, of Williamsport, Pa., has been signed and will report for duty at Raleigh on Saturday. Reference to his record has already been made in these columns and it will suffice to say that he was tele graphed for last night, and that last year he pitched for Albany in the New York State league. This year he is with the Weedsport team of the Lake Shore League,- which has not the National League protection. While the management did not feel justified from a financial view of the situation to sign the-new twirler, yet it is believed that the good ladies of the city in their bazaar and the citizens, who will be approached for subscrip tions, will make it all even up in the end. flames Oa Other Diamonds.
