QAYLORD'S FALL DISPLAY.
Aaaaal Opealai nf Mllllaery and Dress
(food's Pronounced a Great Success.
Coatiaaes Throat b To-day.
This season the annual Fall opening
of millinery and dress goods at Wils
mipgton's Big Backet Store is proving
a more magnificent success than ever.
The opening began yesterday morn
ing and will be continued through to
day and until 9:30 o'clock to-night
Hundreds of ladies visited the store
and were delighted with the display
yesterday and as many more are ex
pected and cordially invited to-day.
Mr. Gaylord, proprietor of the store,
says that the opening day at his popu
lar establishment was all that he could
desire; hundreds of sales were made
and many visited the place and in
spected the stock, who will send in
their orders later - "
The decorations this year embrace
many new ideas and are elaborate.
The windows on the first floor present
an attractive appearance and the in
terior is none the-less pleasing to tne
eye.
The great clearance sale inaugurated
at the store several weeks ago, cleared
shelves and counters and these are
now filled with new goods that are
both stylish and at reasonable ""price.
The dress goods counters will prove
an interesting place to the ladies for
the stock this year is larger than ever
and purchased at a greater advantage.
The stock of millinery and trimmings
appears to be twice as large as last
season and clever and 'capable artists
are in charge. Miss Alma Brown the
directing milliner, spent four weeks
North just prior to the opening and
her collection of new and stylisn nats
and trimmings are pronounced the
i most select and most complete in the
city. 8he has twenty young lady
assistants and customers or visitors are
never allowed to wait but are care
fully shown through with ease.
An orchestra furnishes music for the
fraenincr and the scene in the millinery
department especially is all that could
be desired.
To day is the last day of the open-
inr and everv ladv in Wilmington is
most respectfully asked to call and ex
amine the new Fall styles and fancies.
FIELDS' MINSTRELS LAST NIGHT.
, Proaooaced the Best and Most Elaborate
Ever Seea ia Wllmlniton.
It was truly a minstrel audience at
the Opera House last night, packed
from gallery to pit, and those present
witnessed one of the greatest minstrel
performances ever staged here. It
was bv Al G. Filds' peerless company,
composed of the very best and hiarhest
salaried artists in the world. The
performance was new, novel and ori
ginal and nroduced with a wealth of
stage settings "superb in design and
construction. The first part, tne crea
tion of the King of "Minstrelsy.'lDan
Quinlan, who stands without a peer
as an entorlocutor or manager, was
grand. The electrical display, num
bering hundreds of incandescent
lights, was magnificent and received
thunderous- applause. The singing
and jest of the opening was splendid.
The tenor solo of Reese Prossen
and the bass solo of A. C Pringle
were trulv delightful. Jimmy Wall
sustained his reputation as one of the
most popular burnt cork jesters of tne
time.
Following the opening came a cost
ly olio of novelties, headed oy tne
Great Fielding, and the performance
was broueht to a howling close witn
Doc Quiarlev's big dancing absurdity,
"The Light and Dark Side of society.
The inimitable Al G. was, of course,
ia evidence and his appearance in the
opening, evoked much applause and
his humor much laughter. While on
the stage he was presented with a
handsome floral design by his brother
Elks of this city,. who( regreted ex
ceedingly that the departure of the
company directly after the perform
ance prevented a social session in his
honor. -

cials In Attendance.
All that was mortal of the late Wm.
A. Riach, General Auditor of the At-
flantio Coast Line Railway, was laid to
rest in Oakdale Cemetery yesterday in
the presence of hundreds of friends
and grief-stricken relatives.
The funeral services were conducted
from the First Presbyterian Church at
11-o'clock by the Rev. Dr. J. M. Wells,
the pastor. In attendance upon the
services were Atlantic Coast Line of
ficials, clerks, Aldermen and officials
of the city ; members of the brother
hood of St. George and 3t Andrew, of
which deceased was a member , friends
and relatives. As the remains were
borne into the church the.choir softly
rendered "It is Well With My 8oul.M
The services were then opened by the
reading by Dr. Wells and the singing
by the congregation of the hymn: 'I
Have Heard the Voice of Jesus Say,"
Dr. Wells then read a comforting
passage of scripture beginning with
Let not your hearts be troubled ; be
lieve in God as I also believed in the
Father."
This was followed by a very fer
vent invocation for the family and be
reaved ones and the choir sung with
much feeling: "Nearer My God to
Thee." Dr. Wells then spoke very ap
propriately along the line of the no
bility of a high Christian life and as
the concluding verse was sung of the
hymn "Hark, Hark My 8oul, Angelic
Songs are Swelling," the remains were
tenderly borne from the church and
thence to Oakdale Cemetery, where
the interment was made.
The pall bearers upon the', sad occa
sion were as follows: Honorary, Mr.
H. C. McQueen, Mr. Jas. F. Post, Col.

Worth, Horace P. Clark, E. B. Pleas
ants, Geo. T. LeGrand, E. Borden and

The floral tributes were many and
very beautiful. , Une or tne most
handsome was from the clerks in the
late General Auditor's office and an
other from the clerks in the Traffic
and Claim offices of the A. C. L,
During the hour of the funeral the
general offices of the Coast Line
in this city were closed and a
very large number pf employes
were present at the funeral. The
offices of the city were also closed
and many of the officials at the fu
neral. The flags of the British Vice
Consulate and of the seven British
steamers in port were half masted by
Mr. Sprunt's request yesterday, as a
mark of respect to the memory of the
late Mr. Riach. Such honor to a pri
vate citizen is an unusual occurrence
and proves the high esteem in which
the deceased was held.
The following out-of-town officials
were Here for the funeral: Messrs.
Thomas Wilson, of Wilson : T. A.
Wilcox, .of Florence; R. E. Smith

visitors here during the week and it
will be too late to build when the Car

Fresh encouragement cornea' to the
Elks each day for the saccess of the
event and every loyal citizen ofAVil
mington owes it to the city to put his
shoulder to the wheel and help push
it along." Many new features are
being added daily and the crowds will

Grand Opening at ' Render's con
REHDER'S FALL OPENING.
Store Thronged With Ladles Yesterday
and Last Night Event Continues
To-day -aad This Evening.
Interest always attaches, with the
feminine portion of the city, at least,
to the announcement of the days and
dates for the annual Fall opening of
millinery and other goods at the popu
lar Department store of J. H. Render
& Co., near Fourth street bridge.
The opening for the year 1901 began
yesterday and next to the Elks' Carni
val it promises to be the most mag -nificent
event on record for the sea-
son. It will be continued to-day and
to-night until 10 o'clock, and a cordial
welcome is extended to everybody.'
This year Mr. Render and his capa
ble assistants have departed from the
old manners and customs in vogue at
most openings and the innovations are
exceedingly refreshing. It : may
strictly be called a "Japanese open
ing," for everything is after the man
ner of the fantastic little "Jap."
The decorations, which extend
over tne enure, building, are
of palms, ferns, potted plants
and other evergreens, with a
splendid illumination from 150 incan
descent Japanese lanterns. The sales
ladies have adopted an Oriental cos
tume and everywhere, the store is
made beautiful by ideas imported
from Japan and adapted toa.metro
politan store display. The decora
tions also consist of deft festooning
n unique designs with a superb ar
rangement of the new and stylish
fancies in all lines. The effectiveness
of the display is due in large measure
to Messrs. E. Clayton Moore and C.
F. W. Rehder, who directed the
work.
The millinery display, of course, is
most attractive. The windows of this
department are especially pretty this
year. In one is a large wax figure,
beautifully dressed with all the new
fancies from the interior. The other
is devoted to a handsome display of
trimmings, feathers, plumes, etc., of
the prevailing fashion.
Inside, the millinery department is
a perfect dream of beauty and beggars
description. A visit to the store will
give the only correct conception of
what transformations may be wrought
by the decorative art. The display of
new hats is magnificent and all the
eading styles all of them very pret
tyare shown . Some of the styles are
the "Ace of Clubs," the "Gains
borough," the ''Pompadour," the
"Napoleon," and hundreds of others.
Miss Sarah Gardner is the accomplish
ed milliner in charge and she is assisted
by Misses Maggie Burkheimer, Maude
Vaughn, Hattie Burkheimer. Katie
Bappler, Mary Ittner and others.
Aside from the millinery depart
ment all the remainder of the store is
in gala attire, especially the dress
groods and silk counters. The shoe
store, in charge of Mr. Lynn Moore,
is one of the centeres of display and in
the rear is a beautifully decorated and
ighted booth which is the cynosure of
all eyes.
During the evenings of the opening
excellent music is rendered! - by a
select orchestra, consisting of Prof.
W. L. Havely, cornet; Mr. Alfi Yoppj
piano; Mr. C. W. Rehder, clarinet,
and Mr. Fred. Dock, trombone. A
Begin a music box, large sjze, also con
tributes to the musical feature, and at
intervals a phonograph concert is
given in the dry goods department.
