Old Sol were a bit discomforting when

ocean breeze across the Bank's Channel
fanned everybody into a good humor.
The camp is under strict military
discipline and thepfficers are all doing
their duty. Col. Rodman is firm in
dealing with 'his men, yet generous
and kind. He is the ideal regimental
commander and is popular with his
boys. Adjutant Champ McD. Davis
is a strong "right bower" to the able
commander and the company captains
are nothing if not efficient and pains
taking. Every indication points to a
highly successful encampment.
To-day camp routine will be taken
up in dead earnest. The following

Not once did one of Henry Bryan's
Tartars reach third base during the en
tire nine innings played at Hilton
yesterday afternoon.
'The streak of luck that has pursued
Bush, the diminutive slab artist for
the visitors, during his entire connec
tion with the league, took wings early
in the game and flew away like a lark
before a March wind. On the other
hand, Stewart for the Giants, was nev
er more unsolvable and only four hits,
one or two of these being mere scratch"
es, were, yielded during the entire nine
innings. The locals jumped on Bush
for twelve hits, two "of ihem having
been doubles. They also got three
passes to first and a record of four
stolen bases.
The Wilmington team was right in
the game again and played ball to win.
There was some kicking by both teams
and the umpiring upon the whole,
cannot be said to have been satisfac
tory to either aggregation of players.
Pulsif er, first man up, Bawed the air
and Gilligan was out third to first
Foster also sawed. Clayton for the
Invincibles, got a pass but was forced
by Devlin. Sebring fanned and War
ren forced Devlin.
In the Second inning Kemmer
singled through short end Spratt
forced him at second; Russell flew out
to McGinnis and Hempleman fanned.
For Wilmington', McGinnis flew to
centre; Thackara singled to left and
was caught between first and second ;
Frost flew to short.
In the third Morrisey beat the air;
Bush out. third to first: Pulsif er was
out, fly to centre. Allen got a pass
and was forced out by Stewart; Clay
ton got another pass and both he and
Stewart stole a base; Devlin hit to
right and Stewart scored while the.
batter was out at second; Sebring
fanned furiously.
Gilligan led the fourth with a single
and got second on Foster's ly to
Allen; Kemmer fanned and Spratt
was out, pitcher to first Warren
opened for Wilmington with a single
to right and was sacrificed by Mc
Ginnis; Thackara flew out to second
and Frost scored Allen, running for
Warren, with a single over second;
Allen was out, short to first
The fifth offered a little excitement
to the "fans." Rftssell, Hempleman
and Morrisey had gone down in their
order and Btewart caught the ball for
two bases way down in right; Clay
ion bunted safely and Stewart got
third but was caught between home
and the cushion with all the Tartars
after him, while Clayton came on to
to third. Devlin fanned and two balls
got on the diamond and Clayton was
retired at the home plate.
In the sixth Bush fanned and Pulsi
fer flew out to second; Gilligan sin
gled and Foster flew out to Sebring.
Sebrinsr. Warren and McGinnis, for
the locals, went down in their order.
The seventh retired Kemmer, Spratt
and Russell in their order, Spratt hav
ing fanned. For the Giants, Thack
ara flew out to second ; Frost hit to
left for two cushions but was caught
off second the minute he was safe,
Allen flew to second. .
The eighth had lots of consolation
in it for the rooters, the Giants hav
ing cinched the game by rubbering
three men. Hempleman and Morri
sey flew out in their order; Bush was
safe on Warren's error and Pulsifer
singled. Gilligan beat fiercely at three
strikes and the Tartars were down.
Stewart started the run getting for
Wilmington on a single to centre, was
sacrificed by Clayton and scored on
Devlin's hit which fce Devlin second
on throw home; Sebrlne singled to
right and Devlin scored; Warren and
McGinnis were still after Bush with
good safe hits and Sebring scored. Mc
Ginnis was arrested trying to steal
second and Thack flew out to pitcher.
There was no more run getting then
and the locals made it a shut-out on
Foster's fly to Sebring; Kemmer's
foul to Warren and 8pratt's fly to
Clayton.

"High Diddle Diddle,

The Giants played a fine game all
round.
Curses like young red birds,
sometimes come home to rost. .
The Giants play at Charlotte the
first three days of next week.
Hits: Wilmington, 12; Tarboro,
4. This is the way to hit the buliV
eye.
Capt. Thackara ''exalteth not
himself," but he "gets -there all the
same. ' 1"
Stewart pitched a fine game. Mia
batting and base running, too, was ex
celleBt . .
If we should let the Tartars take
one to-day' it will be solely for hospi
tality's sake.
Manager Barley Kain, formerly
of the Richmond team, is now with
Marion, S.O.
With ''all , due deference," or
words to that effect. Umpire. Meade
makes some awful mistakes.
After to-day there will be no
more ball here-until August 1st, when
the Hornets come for three games.
Sweeney, our home pitcher, will
be in the box for the Giants to day,
with Capt Thackara behind the bat.
Wonder what old thing the Ra
leigh religious reporters will inflict on
their baseball readers now and call it
poetry!
Catcher Foster, of the Tarboro
team, received a very flattering offer
a few days ago to go to the Marionr S.
C. team.
During his last few weeks with
Wilmington Stafford seems to have
been "saving up" his home runs for
New Orleans.
The V. P. guesses those fellows
who have been bothering him with
requests to define a shet out know
what it means now.
The Turtles have struck a Hor
net's nest in Charlotte. They have
lost their tails and are sadly in need
of a steering apparatus.
Owing to unexpected delay,
OStein cannot reach here to day, but
will join the team in Raleigh. He
left for that point at 5 A. M. to day.
It was not the horse editor who
talked about "two" twin brothers in
the Stab of Sunday. It was the ter
rible tautological typographer. Peace
to his ashes. '
Manager Cowan has a number of
large size photographs of the ' Wil
mington team as it won the pennant in
the first series. They may be had for
$1.50 each.
A black and white parasol was
left in the grand stand yesterday af
ternoon by a lady enthusiast The

South Front street
In order to give the teams time
to leave on the 7 P. M. train, the game
this afternoon will be called at 4
o'clock sharp. Wilmington goes to
Raleigh and Tarboro to Charlotte.
Frost and Stewart led in the bat
ting, each making a base hit and a
two base hit out- of three limes at the
bat Devlin and Warren each made
two hits out of four times at the bat
The name "Hornets" has been of
ficially adopted for the Charlotte team.
This is what the Stab dubbed them
before they had played a game far
Charlotte. "Spinners" wouldn't "o."
The figure man of the Charlotte
Observer gave Wilmington a percent
age of 416 in its issue of yesterday.
It should have been 455. It is now
500. Number of games played, twelve.
Raleigh Post: "Did the horse
editor carry out his threatened inten
tions with his can of (baking) pow
der?" Ohl yes. It raised the old
Harry with the Tartars. But see
here I What sort of powder are the
Hornets using on the Turtles? Or, is
it dynamite?
The D. D. editor of the News and
Observer served up this conundrum
yesterday: "By the way. how looks
the percentage column, Major?" To
the eye of the horse editor it presents
a very satisfactory appearance. But
honor bright old Diamond Duster,
how do you like the mutilation of
figures that has almost turned it up
side downt
Hart la a Runaway.
Mr. David M. Beardsley, manager
of the Singer Sewing Machine Com
pany in this city, received a severe
gash in the head yesterday, as the re
sult of being thrown from his buggy
in a runaway at Ninth and Dock streets.
The horse began to run at Ninth and
Orange streets and when Mr. Beards
ley reined him into a telegraph pole
he fell from the buggy and struck his
; head against one of the wheels. It was
a lively runaway and Mr. Beardsley is
to be congratulated that he' did not re
I ceive more severe injuries.

A NEW ENTERPRISE.
Lumber Plant of S. and W.H.
Northrop to be Rehabili
tated at Once
AND PUT IN OP t RATION.
One of the Lariest Mills la Wilmington
Which Has Been Idle for a Number of
Years-New Machinery Installed
and Property Improved.
The Stab learns from an authori
tative source that the 8. & W. H.
Northrop' lumber plant at foot of
Queen street is to be thoroughly re .
habilitated at once and put in oper
ation by the pjesent owners and
other parties from the. North who
have been interested in the project
New machinery will be installed
and much of that at present on the
site and available will be overhauled
and put in modern condition in every
respect. The mill has been idle for a
number of years, though the propri-
retors have been engaged as large deal
ers in sawed lumber for domestic and
foreign export in the meantime. The
plant is one of the most eligibly located
in the city and the site has a splendid
river front, affording unsurpassed
facilities for shipping.
A large amount of money will be
spent in bringing the property up to
its former standard and the mill will
prove to be one among the largest and
most important enterprises of its kind
in the city.
