GL0R10DS FOURTH.
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, .

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.

Baleigh, N. C, July 5. 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.

The Terrible Turtles
Turned Topsy-Turvy.
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.

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 '
