One Cent a Mile Advertising Will ;
Be Done Extensively and Big
Crowds Are Expected.
i
The sub-committees which were ap
pointed Tuesday night to wo A under
ths direction of the Central Executive
Committee for the big; Elks' carnival
and fair in Wilmington during the
gala week in October, have gone to
work with hearty good will and results
are already beginning to crop out here
and there to such an extent as to make
- the situation extremely encouraging.
The business men . of the city, while
none of ' them has . been approached.
are speaking well of the project and
are manifesting an interest in commit
tee work. The salaried men in the
city are also . taking kindly to the
affair and several of them have even
gone so far as to volunteer subscrip
tions. , If this class of citizens see in
the fair a good thing for the city, how
much more so should the business in
terest of Wilmington view the scheme!
The transportation ana advertising
committees have thus far been the
most active of the several appointed.
The former has applied to the railway
companies for a one-cent a mile rate
to the city during the fair and has been
given every encouragement expected.
A very low rate for the occasion is assured.-
The advertising committee, of which
Dr. T. B. Carroll is chairman. Was
I busy yesterday and will be again to
day in collecting envelopes from
merchants and others upon the ire
verse side of which will be print
led advertising matter for the fair
and the envelopes returned to .the
owners. Several thousand advertis
ing lapel buttons have also been order
ed and will be here shortly.
Upon the whole the prospects j for
the fair areexceedingly bright.

Golden Hours, Capt Tom wani, was
played yesterday at Eleventh and Red
Cross streets. The score was 12 to 6
in favor of the Red Cross streeters,
and the feature ol . the 'game was a
double play, unassisted, by J. Schul-
ken. The battery worx oi Danes: wu
Bowser and Hall and TJrant was also
gilt-edge.
Raleigh, N. C, Aug. 23.v--To:dayrs
game was one of excitement border
ing' upo'atensationalisni. The. game
itself was a beautiful one and should
have gone to the visitors but Umpire
Mace would not see it that way and
his actions almost caused a riot on the
field. It was in the eighth inning and
happened after two men were out.
Allen singled and Dommel did likewise.-
This gave third base to the
former and second to the latter.
Warren was up and had two strikes
called. As Smith started to make his
delivery Allen started on a steal home.
Smith tried to hurry and LeGrande
jumped on the plate to stop Allen. Of
course Warren struck at the ball,
as was his right and it passed Le
Grande. Both Allen land Dommel
crossed the rubber and Warren went
to first. Mace would not see it that
way and in spite of the fact that Le
Grande stepped on the plate as War
ren struck, he called the batter out
for interfering with catcher. This
caused the visitors to hotly protest and
during the excitement the people left
the bleachers and crowded on the
diamond, some with sticks in their
hands. Outsiders who had no busi
ness on (he diamond were finally ex
pelled and then Mace foully assaulted
All
Alien..
As captain of the team, Allen was
remonstrating with Mace when he
(Mace) hit him in the jaw. This un
warranted aetion came near precipitat
ing another riot as the former scene
was repeated.
- Raleigh obtained her only run on a
two bagger by Smith and Venable's
single. Hopkins held the locals well
checked and was superior to Smith.
To-morrow comes a double header.
Raleigh's Side of the Question.
Raleigh. N. C, August 23. To
day 'a game was a battle royal between
the pitchers, Smitrr having a little me
best of the fight With the exception
of a little disturbance in the eighth
inning, from start to finish the game
was fine ball. In Wilmington's eighth.
Warren's interference with LeGrande
ah Allen was rushing In from third,
caused him to be called out The Wil
mington players rushed on the
grounds and pushed around Umpire
Mace. Raleigh players and bleachers
went to his assistance. After this was
quieted Allen and two Wilmington
players again went to Mace and after
some words from . Allen, who pusnea
up against him. Mace struck him. The
crowd again appeared on the field but
order was finally restored and the play
resumed.
