Contract5igned Yesterday After noon for Bostock-Ferari's Famous Combination. DATES OCTOBER 14TH-19TH. The Antlered Tribe Are Isdostrkiasly at Work and Buloess Men Are Asked to Co-operate .Will be Great Efesef It to the City. A reasonable financial support of the proiect bv the bnainea man nf Wilmington, the hustling and cold cash which the Elks will give to the affajr, and the carnival and street fair for this city in October is a certainty. Confiding in the merchants to make an investment which any person can see will pay a handsome dividend, it is safe to say that the fair is an abso lute certainty. Mr. Victor D. Levit, business man ager of the ' Bostock-Ferari Corpora tion, spent yesterday in the city and left last evening for his home in the North. Before returning he signed a contract with the Wilmington Elks to bring his mammoth aggregation of street entertainers here from October 14th to 19th, inclusive, and with a little support now - from the business men' of the city, the "Best People on Earth" will be on Easy street, the fair and carnival will be held and the proceeds will go to the charity of the Elks, who are to be congratulated upon sesuring such a mammoth collection of artists under one management with which to feature the fair. It was the only date the Bostock people had open for the entire year and it was sheer luck that enabled it to be signed. A large guarantee had to be given, but an abiding confidence in the enterprise of the merchants of Wilmington to subscribe and in the railroads to fur nish rates that will bring the people to town, the Fair Committee felt warrant ed in making the contract. The Bostock corporation has head quarters in Buffalo, N. Y., and makes a feature of Elks' fairs and carnivals. It has visitei all the leading cities North and South and in very many of them it is appearing this year on return engagements. It comes to Wil mington in its entirety from Rich mond, Va., and goes from here to Macon, Ga. Sixteen railroad cars are required to carry its paraphernalia and it employs 200 persons. It is by far the largest enterprise of its kind on the road and the most meritorious if conscientious press notices count for anything. It will be a fair for Wilmington by day and night and will bring thou sands of people to the city. It ante dates the State Fair, the Cumberland Fair, the Newborn Fair and the Char leston Exposition, ft will be the whole thing and the whole people should get behind it. For the night performances, the Elks will furnish four hundred incandescent and sixteen arc lights. During tne entire week there will be nine free at tractions each day bicycle and ive wire act, troupe of Japanese in poitur ing, slide for life, barrel jumper, con tortionists, trapeze performance, bul loon ascension, with monkey moving parachute descent; in fact the free at tractions will alone be worth a visit to the city. Besides all these, there will be fourteen separate and distinct booth attractions, introducing fourteen Hobs in one arena, the chrystal maze, trip to the moon, dog and pony show and many other high class ag gregations of first class artists. It is the present purpose to secure from the Aldermen a permit to use the section of. Front street, between Walnut and Ann, and Market' street, between Water and Fifth streets. All these sections and crosswise for a block each way will be chock-a-block with the best attractions that wealth can get togeiner. nerrciaata wuu A . . 1 A 1 .... thi treet will be allowed to erect booths for the display and sale of their wares in front of their stores. This privilege alone is worth a handsome contribution by every business man alnnir the section traversed by . the show. All arrangements for the carnival were completed at a meeting -of the Fair Executive Committee at tne Tena nt vesterdav afternoon. The commit tee is composed as follows: H J. Ger- ken (chairman), 0.

Mr. Greenabaum had little Hiram King on his back amusing him in deep water, when it was seen that the ne gro was drowning. The boy on Mr. Greenabaum's back became excited at the cries of the negro and clutched his throat fiercely. Mr. King and the other boys saw the situation and hastened out from the bank with a boat When little Hiram released his hold upon Mr. Greenabaum the boat had reached them and after catching his breath, he went to the rescue of the negro and took him to the boat after the drowning boy had gone down his third and last time.

District and Circuit Court of Wil mington, beginning tbe first Monday in October. Judge Purnell says the reason for this special term is that at the time of the regular term in November he would be in Richmond on tbe Circuit Court of Appeals, and the latter term ' would have to be postponed until January, which would keep prisoners in jail 60 days' longer. The jury com missioner will at once draw grand and petit jurors for the term. The time for the regular term is No vember 4th ; that fr the special term October 7th.. The business of both courts as far as may be will be dis posed of at the special term. The reg ular term will at the proper time be adjourned to some future day subse quent to the Monday after the fourth Monday in October. The sale of the Wilmington Street Railway property will take place on the first Monday of court and it is hardly expected that the sale can be confirmed or rejected at this time. There are no eases of unusual im portance for trial and the special term is solely on account of Judge Purnell's contemplated absence during the' first week in November." . HORNET BEING REPAIRED, Naval Reserves' Cruiser Belaf Pat In Thorough Snip Shape Order for Cruise by Wilmington Division. The United States auxiliary cruiser Hornet, stationed at Wilmington for the use of the North Carolina Naval Brigade, was hauled up on Skinner's marine railway yesterday afternoon, preparatory to a thorough overhaul' ing before the contemplated cruise by the Wilmington Reserves on August 81st i The improvements in the ship will be made under orders from the Navy De partment through Commander W. T Olds, of Elizabeth City. It will cost the government several thousand dol lars to put the cruiser in good . trim, but the amount will - be spent cheer fully, and when tne boat is again in the water she will be in better shape than since the Spanish-American war. Captains Daniels and Manly, of New born, came over this week to confer with Lieut. H. M. Chase relative to. the improvement; : The, paint will be burned from all the wood work on the deck of tbe .boat and it will be gi ven a natural mahogany finish and highly polished. - The engines, boilers . and entire machinery will be repaired. , TBE PENNANT SERIES Will It be Played or Will It Go by Default for Lack of Arrangement? RALEIGH, FULL OF SCHEMES. Imposes Many Conditions, Some of Which Are Acceptable and Some Are Not. Turtles Want Qasrantee at Lat Prom Association. To play or not to play ? That Is the question accompanied by no end of complications, with which Raleigh and Wilmington wrestled all' day yesterday in considering details of the pennant series of State League baseball - games, v which are sched uled to begin this af terhoonMidnighi brought no relief and when the- tele graph offices closed the question would not down: "To play or not to play?" . The "same identical" question will be fired across the wires a time or two early this morning and then there may be a solution. But who knows? Satur day mgbt tne question was settled as everybody here thought and had a right to believe, but Monday morning Raleigh began to impose conditions and the imposition of these conditions was kept up with a steady fire until the wee sma' hours of the morning. At last accounts additional conditions were being named and exasperated at length, President Dick, of the local association, last night wired Manager Cowan to remain in Raleigh and await instructions early this morning. As the telegraph offices closed last night' Manager Cowan was telegraphed for an exact status of affairs. He sent the following: "Raleigh, N. C, August 19. In all probability the first of the North Carolina Baseball pennant or cham pionship games will be played here this afternoon between the Wilming ton and Raleigh teams. At one time to-day it looked as if Wilmington would forfeit the . pennant to Raleigh or vice versa by default, as the latter. whose players are salaried for these games, refused to play tne former, whose players are to divide receipts, unless the Wilmington Athletic Asso-1 ciation would give a regular league guarantee for eachgame in case of rain. They wanted to, treat with the Associ ation, not the players. The Raleigh Association gives the guarantee." The Stab regretfully announces that there is but little probability of pennant games between Wilmington -and Ra leigh. After all the details were sup posed to be arranged, the Raleigh managers came to the front , yesterday with a proposition for changes from the plan already . adopted, which they mwst h.v.-kjaown .would not be ac cepted- byV Wilmington. The most ab surd, probably, was to play . three games in Raleigh, then two in Wil mington, two in Raleigh and three in Wilmington, thus creating a very con siderable and wholly unnecessary addi tion to the cost of transportation. They also proposed to pay the players' sala ries, as in League games, and make an equal division of the gate receipts be tween the Wilmington and Raleigh Associations. It may be doubted if a single mem ber of either team did not understand from the outset that no salaries were to be paid in the eleven games; that the players would pay their own ex penses, and that the gate receipts would be divided between the teams in the proportion of sixty per cent, to the winners and forty per cent, to the osers. In order to make the games inter esting enough to draw large crowds it was essential for the public to know that. the teams were playing for them selves. It was more important still for the players o have the strong in centive created by the fact that the winning team would receive sixty per cent, of the receipts, while the losing team would have the remaining forty per cent. The general impression here is that n trying to impose conditions totally at variance with that originally agreed on, and which they must have kfibwn would not be accepted, the Raleigh peo ple in charge" have shown conclusive ly that they "have no'stomaeh for the fight." Under the original plan these games would be the most exciting of the sea son: out witn tne piayers receiving salaries, and with an equal division of the gate -receipts they would be robbed of one-half their interest and, conseauentlv. the . attendance would not be sufficient to pay expenses. Cars Jumped the Track. Several coaches of the Ay & Y. trai n arriving in Wilmington . last, evening were derailed , in the yards here at Eiehth and Hanover streets about 7 o'clock. The train, of course, wamaving at a very low . rate " Of a Deed and consequently not much damage was done.
