Generally In Good Spirits.
Camp Aycock, Wrightsville Sound,
awoke from a two day's sleep last
night to the sound of the tramping of
the Second Regiment, North Caro
lina State Guard, which reached camp
in its order late yesterday afternoon
and will remain for ten days. ' The
weather was ideal and the conditions
were just of the kind, barring the
occasional sting of a mosquito, to put
everybody in a gSod humor and fill
them with bright prospects for the en
campment.
V The various companies reached Wil
mington by regular and special trains
yesterday as previously detailed in
these columns and were transported to
the Sound on "specials" over the Sea
coast Railroad.
The companies are all in with full
ranks and the attendance of regiment
al officers is about perfect. Col. W.
B. Rodman is in command, assisted by
Lieutenant Col. W. A. Johnson, and
the reputation of these well known
officers in former encampments is
enough to warrant that this one will
be not only a pleasure but a profit to
the boys of their command.
The list of officers of the regiment
is as follows: CoL W. B. Rodman,
commanding; Lieutenant Colonel W.
A. Johnson; Maj. J. C. Bond, com

most interested in their own company,
the Wilmington Light Infantry. It
formed at the armory at 2:30 o'clock
yesterday afternoon and headed by
the Second Regiment Band.it paraded
the principal streets of the city and
marched to the Seacoast Railway de
pot, from whence they left on the
train for the Sound. The boys made
a very creditable showing and under
the excellent command of Capt. Adrian
they will prove second to none in the
regiment.' The band also made a good
showing and will easily prove to be
the equal, if not the superior, of the
three organizations of its' kind in the
Guard. . The roster of - the company
and others obtainable last night are
as follows:

'Twas the greatest hit of the year.
Really should have counted in the
summary for two bases.
Won the game for Wilmington
against Tarboro in the x tenth inning
and came off the willow of Captain
Perry Thackara, who made his debut
on the home grounds in an official
capacity yesterday afternoon. The
Giants were up to their necks in the
game and got down to old-time busi
ness from the very start of the brush
with the Tartars. The fifth inning
had brought a tied score three three
and then both teams worried along
with tbat.-ehalkinr un goose eggs ever
and anon until the Tartars had been
put down in their half of the' tenth.
Morrisev.'late of the. Boston American
League, and Willig, the new twirler
for the Giants, were on the slab and
were keenine the runs well scattered.
But in the tenth "Wallie" Warren led
off with a nice single and was sacri
need by McGinnis. Then with one
man down, Warren on second and the
rooters praying for a clean hit, Capt
"Thack" came up and swished at one
of Mbrrisev's finest but swatted the
second for a line drive down third
"Wo Hot." .oma soman (tin
rubber, cinching the game. Capt.
"Thack ' went as far as first base and
upon returning to the bench received
The glad hand from hundreds.
The game opened with a fan by
Gilligan, a base for Pulsifer on Frost's
wild throw. 8Dratt forced Pulsifer at
second and Kemnfor singled to centre.
Foster flew out to centre. The locals
got a man on third in their half, but
could not score him. Frost singled,
Devlin bunted safely and Frost got
third without a man down. Sebring
fouled out to Morrisey; Warren flew
to deep centre and Devlin was cut off
between first and second.
The visitors scored in the second on
a hit hot to short by Russell, a .pass
for Hempleman, and a-hit by Morrnop
to centre, Slagle having bunted out to
pitcher and Gilligan and Pulsifer hav
ing gone out to Stewart, Wilmington
again placed a man on third, but was
unable to score him. McGinnis safe
on third's error; Thackara sacrificed;
Allen safe on Kemmer's error; Stew
art flew out and Willig fanned.
In the third, Bpratt flew out; Kem-
mer got -It pass; Foster flew out to
Allen; Russell singled to left and
Kemmer scored on Hempleman's hit
to right; Slagle flew out to pitcher;
"Jack" Frost got on tip-toe then for a
run for the locals and drove out two
bases to centre; Devlin fanned and
Sebring singled to centre and got sec
ond ; Warren flew out to left scoring
Frost; McGinnis got a pass and went
to second on passed ball ; Thackara was
out on fouL
Both teams were blanked in the
fourth and the Tartars came up in the
fifth for a run on Kemmer's single;
Foster's sacrifice and Hempleman's
single. The score was tied by the
Giants in their half. Devlin was out
second to first and Sebring went to the
left hign brush for two cushions;
Warren flew out to second; McGinnis
hit to right and on wild throw home to
cut off Sebring, the ball played all kind
of antics with the fence and finally
dropped over under the bleachers, al
lowing both runners to score. Thack
ara got a pass, Allen singled to right
but "Thack" was thrown out attempt-.
ing third.
Then each team was blanked every
inning until the tenth, though both
pitchers drew themselves out of deep
holes at several stages of the game. It
was not uncommon to have - the bases
full with even only one man down,
but somehow, somewhere, something
would happen to ward off a run. .
The storv of the tenth inning has
already been told. It was a slugging
match in the mild sense of the term,
but the game upon the whole was
good. Mr. Meade's umpiring gave
some better satisfaction, though there
no.. . f. Irif kn hv both teams. The
Wilmington boys played manful ball
and individually tne piayers received
the warmest - commendation t.f ,the
spectators.

hard work, they can be in -the second
place. In first place in the first series
and in second place in the second se
ries will be a fine record, '
The Tarboro soldier boy? who
1 came alt the- way frm camp to root
and hoot and toot for the Tartars were
a lively set. So long as the score
stood three to one in favor of the Tar
tars they were intoxicated with de
light; but Ihey grew weak when the
Giants tied it, and when that fourth
and winning run came in the tenth
inning the troopers "folded their tents
and silently stole away."
The schedule for the second series
provides for fifty-four games. Of these
the Wilmington team has played only
eleven, leaving forty-three games yet
to be played in the regular series. It
will be seen, therefore, that, there is
ample time for Wilmington to recover
its lost prestige. All that is necessary
is the strengthening of the team and a
determination of the members to work
in perfect harmony. -
In addition to the forty three
games to be played in the regular
series, eleven games will be played by
the two teams winning the champion
ships in the two series. The net pro
ceeds of these eleven games, it is un
derstood, will go -to. the individual
players. To say nothing of pride, it
is the personal and pocket interest,
therefore, of every member of the
Wilmington team to do his very best.
If the Giants remain at the, bottom,
but little interest will be taken in the
play-off games and, consequently, the
attendance and gate receipts will be
small.

WALKr R MEMORIAL HOSPITAL
The Formal Transfer Prom Execotors Will
be Made To-morrow Board of Com
mlssiooers Held Meeting Yes
terday Afternoon Jorors.
The bonds to the amount of $50,000
for public road improvement recently
voted by the citizens of New Hanover
County were yesterday floated by the
County Commissioners , at a special
meeting of the Board called for this
purpose. "
There were four bidders for the se -
entities but the sale was made to W.
Hays & Son, the well known finan
cial firm of Cleveland, Ohio, which
agreed to pay par . value for same, it
being understood that they are to
yield four per cent, interest, payable
semi-annually on the first day of Jan
uary and July -each year. Tbe sale is
regarded as a very good one and the
money for same is expected to be
available within 60 days. The other
bidders for the bonds were Rudolph
KJeyboldte & Co., Feder Holtzeman
& Co., and Season good & Meyer, all
of Cincinnati ; but each of them re
quired the payment of a commission on
the sale, which th successful bidder
did not
The bonds mature in 25 years and a
sinking fund for the interest and prin
cipal has been established by the com
missioners, vhich will fully liquidate
them at the end of that period.
C hairman McEachern, of the Board,
has also made arrangements by which
he amount derived from the sale of
bonds will be deposited in bank at the
same rate of interest as is paid to the
Ohio firm, thus practically eliminat-
ng for the present at least, the pay
ment of actual interest. The treasurer
of the county affords security in ad
dition to that of the bank by giving
an extra bond for the custody of this
fund.
Another important matter settled
upon at yesterday afternoon's meeting
was the matter of the formal trans
fer of the splendid James Wal
ker Memorial Hospital from the
executors of the last - will and
testament of the late Mr. Walker to
the city and county to whom1 it was
so munificently donated. There will
be no exercises of a public character
to mark the transfer and the same will
take place on to-morrow morning
at 10 o'clock at the splendid structure
n the northeastern section of the city.
There will, however, be present upon
the occasion of the formal transfer,
all members of the Board of Alder -menCity..
Board of Audit and
Finance, Board of County Commis
sioners, Board of Managers of the new
institution and Messrs. James Sprunt
and Wm. Gilchrist, executors of the
estate of Mr. Walker. '
The deed has already t sen drawn
for the transfer and it will be made
within the presence of members of the
several boards as stated above.
For the arrangement of the trans
fer yesterday afternoon there were
present with the commusioners, Col.
Warren G. Elliott, president, the
members of . the . Hospital Board of
Managers and Alderman J. F. Maun
der, representing the city.
It is intimated that the Hospital
Managers now have arrangements

Roatine Matters at the Meeting.
About the only other items of busi

important elections had things all

abflity since the departure of Stafford
about a month ago. The elections
were Mr. James H. Cowan as manager l
to succeed Mr. Peschau and Catcher
erry Thackara to succeed Capt. Clay
ton. Without discounting the services
of those resigned, it may be said that
both selections are good ones and un
der the new management the Star

steadily but surely to its old-time
glory.
Another good left handed pitcher,
with splendid catting record, has been
signed; Champ, O'Stein has bee wired
