BUSY WEEK AT WRIGHTSVILLE
-Hotels and Cottages Crowded With Visi
tors Big Excursion From Atlanta

filled to overflowing last night The
hotels and private boarding houses
along the beach were taxed to their
limit and seventy tents were erected
on the ocean front near the Seashore
hotel to accommodate the overflow. It
wasa day of excursions and heavy
travel. The warm weather of the
past few days has caused the inland
country to send down crowds to the
seashore, and the crowds have gener
ally decided to stay soifle time.
An excursion of some 350 people
came in from Atlanta yesterday morn-,
ing and went 'through to the beach.
The excursion left Atlanta Friday
night about 9 o'clock and was run in
over the Seaboard Air Line. It was
a consolidated affair given by the
Retail Grocers' Association and the
Masons of Atlanta, $nd was under the
clever supervision of Wm. B. Clem

Special Star Telegram.
Raleigh, N. C, July 6. The
Raleigh rooters and rooterinas were
treated to a fine exhibition of the
national game to day, There was no
kicking and the Champions and Tura
ties got down to realbusiness. Raleigh
won by luck rather than anything
else. It just happened so they got two
home runs in their lucky sixth after;
Wilmington had apparently a safe
lead and the rooters were ready to give
over the game certain to Wilmington.
In the second Wilmtngton scored
first. McGinnis took first &d War
ren hit for two bases, scoring him. A
wild pitch advanced Warren to third
and he scored on Allen's fly to center.
In the third the Champions crushed
Raleigh rooters with three runs. Dev
lin reached first on an error by Atz.
Sebring singled and advanced on
Crockett's sacrifice. Thackara fanned,
McGinnis received a pass. Warren hit
to Venable, who fumbled, allowing
Warren to reach first while Devlin
scored. The ball was thrown wild,
allowing Sebring to score. LeGrande
made another wild throw and McGin
nis scored. The grand stand presented
a heartrending scene, from which it
didn't rally, until luck gave the Tur
ties two home runs in the sixth. Had
the ball in either one varied a foot it
would not have been a home run at all.
The Champions, Turtles and rooters
were all pleased with Umpire Wither?,
who succeeded Staley in to-day's
game.

Three Out of Seven
Does Very Well.
Of the five hits made off Stanley
yesterday Sebring got three and one
of the five runs.
The Raleigh papers say the game
of Friday was the most exciting ever
played in that town..
The French editor says it will ba
9, fete champetre, but the horse editor
again says "neigh." It will be a lawn'
party.
Give the lovely lunatics the right
of way. They are running a special
for the benefit of the Champions, and
they are eoing at a lively gait
Although Allen yielded fifteen
hits, his record at strike-outs, bases on
balls, etc., . yesterday will compare
favorably with that of Stanley.
Every merchant who is called on.
will doubtless contribute some article
to be disposed of at the lawn party to
be held for the benefit of the Cham
pions. -
; It is now a tie between the Cham
pions and the Turtles. The chances
are that next Sunday morning the per
centage column will show a change in
favor of the former.
: In chasing a ny ball Thursday
Sebring ran into the fence enclosing
the Raleigh grounds and received in
juries that kept him put of the game
Thursday played there.
Just as soon as Capt John Cotton
recovered from a severe, attack of
pneumonia he fell a victim to base
ball fever of a malignant type. But it
will take a streak' of greased lightning
to "shut out" Kap.- Kqtton.-; f
The Champions have nothing to
be ashamed of in the result of the
series of games with the Loggerheads
last week. In their disabled .condi-
tioD, three out of the seven games is
all that could have been reasonably
expected.
With fine frenzy vthe Raleigh
Times s&ya: "The Lobsters are quit
ters when they run up against a pitcher
who can send the ball down like a hot
shot out of a cannon." Were they
"quitters" Friday when the Logger
heads had their best pitchers in the
box?
What a desperate effort the Kom
ical King of the Loggerheads made to
capture the game Friday. He had all
his pitchers at work except Stanley,
whom he was doubtless afraid to risk;
but even with all this and the assist
ance of the umpire he could not win
the game.
Stafford played for New Orleans
in two games at Chattanooga on the
4th. Chattanooga won the morning
abti iSev Orleans the afternoon game
In the latter Stafford lined a ball over
the left field fence, netting four runs. '
It has been a long, . long, time since
' did any work of that kind in
Wilmington.
The Giants have lost four men
Foreman, ' Vorhees, Stafford and
Crockett within the past few weeks
without adding a single new man to
the team. Thus handicapped, their
success has been remarkable. In
time for the games with the Hornets
this week Willig and Frost will join
them, and both are good players.
This, from the New Orleans State,
is about the team Stafford is to help
out: "Things ate going from bad to
worse with the Pelicans. It begins to
look as if they will never break the ice
and surprise the natives by winning a
game. Yesterday's game was of such
a character that it would make the
youngest and greenest amateur take to
the woods. Judging by the press dis
patches the game was one of the poor
est ever played in Memphis."
The Norfolk LandmarkfcSija the at
tendance there is so small that it "will
not justify buying a beef steak." And
it intimates that the Norfolk team
may go to States ville this week. It
also gives currency to a rumor that
Manager Kain is very much dissatis
fied with the attendance in Richmond
and hints at a possible transfer of his
team to Durham. It is rather late in
the season for these changes, and it is
prooaDJe tne tatx is lor more "mtny
lucre."

unlikely, however, that the deal will
be made, as it is believed the dropping

THE BASE BALL BAZAAR.
Preparation Go On Apace for Big Event
Friday Night Other Benefits Have
Been Offered.
Although the news from Raleigh
yesterday had rather a depressing
effect upon the base ball lunatics here,
there was increased enthusiasm with
the "crankerinas" over the prospect
of the grand base ball bazaar to be
given next Friday night at Hilton
Park.
The ladies . are losing no time, or
figuratively speaking, they are allow
ing no grass to grow under their feet,
in the way of preparations for a gor
geous affair and it remains only for
the general public to rally to their
assistance in the way of donations
and all will be well. Every enthus
iast can do something towards making
a success of the event and a 'phone
message to Mrs. Cuthbert Martin or
to Mrs. A. B. Skelding will probably
suggest what a generous donor could
do in the way of , assisting the pro
moters of the National sport in Wil
mington. '
As the days go by new features are
added and upon the whole the bazaar
promises to excel all efforts in this
direction in Wilmington heretofore.
The ladies hope to arrange for a theat
rical attraction by the best amateur
talent for the evening, and this alone
will be worth the while of any one to
visit Hilton on this festive occasion.
The admission, including street car
fare to and from the Park, will be. only
25 cents. The best of order will be
maintained and of course, the ball
teams of Wilmington and Charlotte
will be there.
Aside from this benefit enterprising
young men have come to the rescue
and several other benefits are on tapis.
The most important next to the bazaar,
of course, is the all-day and night ex
cursion on the steamer Wilmington to'
Carolina Beach on Thursday, July
11th. This enterprise is in the hands
of Messrs. J. EL LeGwin and Percy
H. Smith and promises to yield a neat
sum. The boats will leave the city at
9:15 A. M., 2:30, 5;15 and 7:30 P. M..
and the last boat wHl leave tne beach
at 11 P. M. There will be dancing all
day and at night in the handsomely
appointed Sedgely. Hall Club . house.
Round trip tickets will be-sold ' for 25
cents. '. , -
Another benefit is offered by Messrs.
S. J. Davis and J. C. Blackley, the
well known Market .street horsemen.
They have placed at the disposal of the
Ball Association a wagonette and two
horses for the three games here next
week and the proceeds of running the
same to and from the games will be
devoted to the support of the Wilming
ton Champions.
Another commendable benefit is a
base ball game to be played at Hilton
Tuesday afternoon between the ama
teur teams of the Carolina Athletic
Association and the High School
Champions. The game will be called
at 4 P. M. and an admission of fifteen
cents for gentlemen and ten cents for
ladies will be charged. The line -up of
the teams is as follows: . '
