The Celebration This Tear of An Elaborate Order and Was Very i njoyable. THE SEVERAL EXCURSIONS. Were WeU rtlroaized sad Attraction at the Beaches Were Many-Observance at Southport Was deneral and of a Patriotic Nature. 1 The Fourth of July in Wilmington and vicinity was perhaps more gen erally observed this year than usual. The weather was ideal for the kind of Bpojt offered by the beaches and the various excursions by water and rail, and everybody bad a "good time," to use a common place- expression. There were no accidents of very grave consequence and very little drunken ness or disorder ajatwithstanding the unusually large crowds which par ticipated in the various forms of en tertainment. In the city the day was marked by a njactical cessation of business and a holiday air pervaded the entire at mosphere. National colors floated from many buildings and evidences of "our natal day" were seen in manv windows, in the stores and in places compelled by circumstances to remain open. The "Fourth" at Wrightaville this year was simply a repetition of the. Fourth of July as it has been cele brated at this popular resort for seasons past. Train load after train load of sweltering people were poured into its limits Thursday as fast almost as steam could carry them, and they spent the day in such amusements as the occasion afforded, or as were most suited to the'r moods and were not prohibited by law. The hotels and the club houses were filled with guests during the day and the surf and the entire ocean front were lined with sb-ieking and sputter ing men,, women and children cavort ing in the waves, or w&ding along ihe beach. There were a number of attractions scheduled Jor the day. The annual Fourth of jj uly regatta of the Carolina Yacht Club drew together an immense crowd. Eight yachts reported for the 8 tart which was made from a point to the South of the Club house pier at 11:02 A.M. Theftweather conditions were per fect and not a serious mishap occurred during the race. The course was the regular eight mile course of the Club, from the pier to Mason boro, back to the pier, then to and around Mott Channel buoy, back toHasonboroand then to the finishing line opposite the pier. The race was won by the "Sadie," with the "Mequero" second, and the "Ybmalee" third. The start and finish with the elapsed time were as follows : "MabeL" Cant. John B. Peschau; start, 11.02; finish. ; elapsed time, . "Sadie," Capt rercy Uowan; start, 11.4 41; finish, 12:51:15; elapsed time. 1:45:45. "TJnquero." Capt. Geo.

The -'Mabel," "C" and "Phantom" withdrew during the race on account of slight accidents. In the afternoon a "double header" of base ball was played on the beach in front of the Carolina Yacht Club house between the first and the second Carolina Athletic Club teams. The first game resulted in a victory for the second team by a score of 4 to 3; the second game resulted in a victory for the first team by a score of 6 to 4. Batteries for the first team were H. Emerson and Z. Bell': for the second team, W. Peschau and Edwin Moore. The water artist advertised lor a dive from a 120 feet tower Into water six feet did not materialize. His fail ure to keep his contract was a source of much disappointment to many who went down to the beach and to the Wilmington Beacoast Railroad, who w& institute legal proceedings to re cover damages. At night everything waa noise and went up in smoke. The sand flies had no showing. The heavens were ablaze with rockets and roman candles, and the noise of exploding crackers and the smell of powder were all per vading. v A well attended danee at the Sea shore at night concluded the day's gaieties. ' The besttof order prevailed during the dav. and not a single arrest bad to be made on the entire beach. The Wilmington Beacoast railroad handled exactly 8,474 passengers dur ing the dav. which breaks the record of last year by several hundred. For supper at night the Seashore Hotel had 658 guests and each one was cared for with entire satisfaction. The Street Bail way in the city also made a break of ihe Fourth of July record in the transportation of ' passengers. The number handled during the day waa between 6,000 and 7,000. At Carolina Beach the crowds were large and the amusement varied -and wholesome. The celebration was under the auspices of Eyota Tribe No. 5, Im proved Order of Bed Men, and rignt well did the '"Big Injuns' care for their guests on this occasion. There was music and dancing all day and at night at Sedge! y Hall club house and refreshments were plentiful for all. Capt. Harper of the steamer Wilmington carried some thing over a thousand passengers during the day and the trips down the river were delightful. ; At Southportrthe celebration was perhaps more pronounced than at either of the beaches and the ats tendance waa large. Captain San ders of the splendid steamer Como- ton, admirably handled more than 600 people to and from "our neigh bor city" and the steamer Southport also took many down to enjoy .the pleasures of the day, There were games of baseball between the local team and that of thefoys Brigade, now encamped there, at 8:30 A. . M. and 5:30 P.M. A pro-' cession, including soldiers from the Fort, Boys' Brigade and a brass band, paraded the streets af 10:45 A. M., and at about noon the crowd assembled in Franklin Square, - where public" exer cises were neld. There was music by . the Southport Band and by a select choir. The address of welcome wis by Mayor 8 wain, a short talk by Bev. B. W. Bailey, reading of the Declaration of Inde pendence by E. D. Guthrie, Esq., and a historical sketch by E. U. Uranmer, Esq. The exercises were followed by athletic contests, which were interest ing and amusing. The boat races then followed and proved very exciting. The marshals of the day were C. Ed. Tay lor, (chief). Howard Curtis, Marshall Guthrie, FredB. Mintz and J. Arthur Dosher. The excursion via the A. C. L. to Lake Waccamaw from Wilmington on the morning of the "Fourth" was well patronized and those who went to this favored resort spent a day of genuine pleasure. LOCAL DOTS.

The Wil" mington Champions won from the Turtles in spite of the worst umpiring ever seen here, Baleigh getting the best of about every decision. The umpire's work was declared so ex tremely partial that a number of fair minded sportsmen left the field in dis gust. After several decidedly jrank decisions Staley apologized to Manager Peschau on the field, saying Wil mington's contentions were evidently right, but he could not reverse his de cisions. Tneir ranxness was tne cause of Peschau's interference. The de claring of Allen out on third in the first inning was the first and most rank decision. The Giants had scored three on his three-bageer and he was clearly safe, but was called out. Some tine playing was done by Wilmington in the second inning. Cranston singled and came home on Stewart's beautiful home run. Clay ton singled, scoring on Devlin's fly. A blocked ball gave Wilmington hr run in the fourth. Te winning play was in the tenth, McGinnis.got a free pass, Allen hit to first, Warren knocked to Yenable, who fumbled ; enabling McGinnis to score. Crockett jumped the team to night to Detroit He will join them at Mil waukee. Manager Peschau signed "Jack" Frost, of Piedmont, S. C, in his stead. Steps will be taken to black list Crockett in the National League. Stocks dale was knocked out of the box in the second inning and Person was substituted but he, too, had to give way in the eighth to Smith. For Wilmington Warren pitched a mag nificent game until he became "rat tied" in the eighth and was replaced by Stewart.

Next week Bicbmond and Nor folk will amuse the Turtles at Baleigh. Alas ! for the Komical King. But we must "pity the sorrows of a poor old man." Our esteemed Baleigh contemns. will now make few explanations that don't explain. A travelling man in the city yes terday stated that Vorhees had gone North and would not go to New Or leans. The Post says: "As kickers. theXobsters are King Bees." Ah! indeed. Well, as kickers the Turtles are King KeMees. The Baleigh Post says: "The poor old Lobsters have degenerated into sand-fiddlers." But the poor bid Turtles have degenerated into tad poles. Now, don't worry yourself be cause Crockett has left the Champions. He will be succeeded by a first class man. There was no trouble-in filling Stafford's place. The Baleigh Times is satiating itself with "a meal of broiled lobsters." This was Thursday. Wonder how its stomach stands the dish of mock Tur tle soup served up to it yesterday. The Loggerhead Turtles have the strongest' pitching staff in the League. Smith, Person, Stocksdale and Stan ley are all good twirlers, though the last named seems to be "off" in his work of late. The Turtles on their backs, with their tails cut off close up to the ears ! Billy Boy lan in the soup! The sport ingeditors in tears! Therooterinaa call ing the Gianta.thoae "horrid things!" Ye gods! what a spectacle for tbe denizens of Wake Court House. In the first game Allen, while on first base," was struck in the mouth by a ball recklessly thrown by Pitcher Stanley. "In an agony of pain he ran from the base and was put out," says the N. and O. It is presumed that the ethics of base ball in Baleigh require a fellow to die at his post, not off it. The Diamond Duster of the Ra leigh News and Observer says: "Talk about kickers! The Lobsters are simply the worst yet." This is awful funny. Why, when the Turtles are not shooting the umpire they are at "loggerheads" among" themselves. That's why they must be called Log gerhead Turtles. The Star regrets to announce that Crockett has "jumped", the Wil mington team, and left to join the Detroit club of the American League last night. .His place will be filled by Frost, who will join the Giants at Charlotte Monday. He has been with pthe Southern League and is -highly recommended. The truly good, religious rditor of nd O. says: "Didn't we say the N. and U. says: "Uidn't we say something last week about making the Lobsters feel like the first syllable of a telephone calif" Perhaps so, honey, But before the not suns, of July are gone somebody will make the Turtles . , . . i Al I Xl . 1 !lt ieei line someuung mat ruymes wim the first syllable of the name of your idolized pellj: - ' Qames 0a Other Diamonds.

Ladies of Wilmington Have Re sponded Nobly to Needs of Athletic Association. FRIDAY, JULY 12TH, DATE. There Will be Hnadreds of Attractions and a Pleasant Oating for Everybody at . Small Cost Pete to be Given at Hilton Park. - A movement looking to an elabo rate Base Ball Bazaar for the benefit of the Wilmington Athletic Associa tion was successfully launched by the good ladies of Wilmington at a well attended and enthusiastic meeting in the parlors of the Elks' Temple yester day af ternoon at 5 :30 o'clock. ... Next Friday evenings July 12th, from 8 to 12 o'clock is the time and Hilton Park the place for the big event which already haB augury of -a brilliant success, both from the view point of pleasure foj those who will at tend and also with regard to the finan cial feature of the affair, which is for a most commendable object indeed. Mrs. Cuthbert Martin was made chairman of the meeting and Mrs. A. B. Skeldiog secretary. Among those in attendance were Mrs. Herbert Bor den, Miss Carrie Maffitt, Mrs. Anson Alligood, Miss Burkheimer, Mrs. C. S. Grainger, Mrs. N. N. Davis, Mrs, F. A. Lord, Mrs. E. P. Boatwright, Miss Stella Divine, Mrs. C. W. Wood ward, Miss Bena Myers, Mrs. M. L. 8tover, Mrs. W. W. Hodges, MrsiE. H. Sneed, Mrs. A. C. Sneed, Mrs. Joe Watters, Miss Lina Wiggins, Mrs. Skelding, Mrs. Martin, Miss Carrie Meyers, Miss Lillie Peschau, Mrs. B. J. Jacobs, Mrs. B. H. Grant, Miss Kate Maffitt, Mrs. Geo. P. Cotchett and Mrs. W. C. Munds. Various methods and means of en tertainment were enthusiastically dis cussed. The grounds at the park will be brilliantly lighted and decorated. A pavilion will be built for dancing and music will be furnished by a com petent band. There will be several gaily decorated and well filled booths at which ladies will preside for the sale of fancy articles and refresh ments. Then there will be numerous voting contests, one of which will be for the ttiostt-popular player on the Wilmington team, etc., etc. There are fifteen season tickets admitting to the remaining games at the park this year for distribution, and the contest for these as well as for other articles is expected to be extremeiy lively. At tbe meeting a number of sub committees were named and tbe "crankerinas," composing the same are already as busy as bees. Articles for the various booths and especially for the mammoth "country store," which the ladies' will conduct, are asked to be donated by the men cranks of the city. All those who can assist in this particular or in another way are asked to communicate by telephone either with Mrs. Martin or Mrs. Skel ding. Another meeting of the ladies will be held at 5.30 o'clock Wednesday af ternoon when it is hoped there will be even a much larger attendance than on yesterdayv Arrangements are being made for a late train to the beach after the close of the bazaar and upon the whole, it is safe to predict that the "fair fanatics" will surprise the town on the amount need ed to make the Wilmington team again the winners in the pennant race. Baleigh realized something like $600 from a fete in that city Thursday night. The Wilmington ladies will do equally as well, if not better, in this city next Friday night. The admission to the bazaar will be only 25 cents, including fare both ways on the street car and a chance to win a season ticket to all ball games, f ' DEATH OF MR. P. E. KELLY.
