I -
The memorial exercises yesterday
afternoon at Oakdale, under '.the aus
pices of the Daughters of the Confed
eracy, were the prettiest In years.
The address by Dr. Wells was of an
unusually high Order and the weather
conditions) were well nigh. jer feet for
a celebration of the character in hand.
Many business houses in the city
were closed during the afternoon, and
the attendance was gratifyingly large.
The parade by the Veterans, Wilming
ton Light Infantry and Naval
Reserves, under their respective com
manders, from the W. Li. I. armory,
was an inspiring sight the. Veterans
wearing the gray, the boys of the In
fantry, uniformed the same, and the
Naval Reserves In regulation attire.
The parade moved very soon after 3
o'clock, and at the cemetery the W.
L. L and Naval Reserves marched up
to the gate around the Confederate
monument formed on each side,
allowing the Veterans, Daughters of
Confederacy, j Sons of Veterans,
Orator, Chaplain, President and Super
intendent of the Cemetery, to pass
through and take seats inside - the en
closure, j:
.The exercises opened with a dirge
by the Second Regiment Band, under
the excellent leadership of Prof. 0.
W. Hollowbush and Prof. Jas. E.
Willson. Dr, J. N. Cole then offered
a very appropriate and fervent prayer,
which was followed by the singing of
"Nearer My God to Thee"by the gath
ering, accompanied by Prof. Hollow
bash, cornet; E. O. Graft cornet;
Robert Morris, trombone, and T. K.
Curtis, baritone.
Chief Marshal Clayton Giles then
introduced Dr. J. M. Wells, the elo
quent young pastor lof the First Pres
byterian Church, and son of a distin
guished Confederate soldier. Dr.
Wells' address was clear, eloquent
and practical. His delivery was per
fect and what he had to say was as one
of the young men, grown up since
the bloody! conflict for Southern
rights. He made a brilliant defence
of secession, as a constitutional privi
lege, quoting eminent authorities upon
the subject and resenting the imputa
tion that it was for the maintenance
of slavery. The motive for the war
was not a thirst for blood, greed for
gain, nor a defence of slavery, for half
the people in that bloody conflict had
no interest in slavery. The war was
to drive back a dark cloud of central
ization which threatened to destroy
self government
He contrasted the horrible methods
of the U. S. army in the Philippines to
those in vogue with the Federal troops
during the ; Civil War and eulogized
the conduct and personnel of the Con
federate army. The burning of At
lanta and Columbia, the devastation
of Sheridan in the valley of Virginia,
Wild's and Sherman's raid through
Georgia and the infamous order No.
2 8of "Beast" Butler at New Orleans
were denounced and contrasted with
the frank, honest conduct of the war
by the South. The treatment of pns
oners of war was likewise paralleled
and the South shown not at fault for
the terrible conditions that existed in
them. I
Dr. Wells referred eloquently to
the passing away of living Confed
erates and said that each Memorial
Day there was an order to close up
ranks, for they had been thinned by
death. He exhorted young men to
hold in sacred reverence the memo
ries of their fathers and the war they
waged.
tribute
Next he paid a beautiful
to Lee, Jackson, the
Johnsonsvand Nathan Bedford For
rest. Roosevelt was Quoted on : his
estimate of Lee and the men he led.
Dr. Wells alio eulogized the good
women of the South and closed with a
beautiful reference to the men who
returned to their shattered homes and
began life anew in the desolate wake
of a war of extermination and anni
hilation.,1 He was given warmest ap
plause throughout his brilliant effort
Chief Marshal Giles next read the
Roll of Honor and the Daughters of
the Confederacy laid wreath of
flowers upon the grave of Rev. Geo.
Patterson, chaplain of the Third N. a
Infantry.

Those of the ni mber, who were
present, came forward and the ladies
pinned the emblems on their coat
lapels. The doxology was then sung,
benediction was pronounced by Dr.
Cole and the blowing of taps closed
the exercises with a salute from a rifle
squad of the infantry and a gun crew
of the Naval Reserves. After the ex
ercises salutes were fired by the W. L.

In the finest exhibition of ball play
ing ever seen on the Hilton diamond,
Greensboro yesterday afternoon'made
it two out of three with Wilmington
in the tenth inning. The score was 1
to 0 and the contest was even batter
than those remarkable figures indi
cate. Only one hit was allowed the
locals during the ten spasms, and for
eight quick, snappy innings not one
of King Kelly's Kids reached the
second base. Only three reached that
point during the entire game. The
first nine innings required but 62 min
utes to play, and but an hour and 15
minutes was consumed in rattling off
the ten. This, too, with the Second
Regiment Band playing between the
flights. It was a sight fit for the base
ball gods and one which the 750 spec
tators will not forget in a long time.
Both the firing artists, Wilson and
McCann, were very effective in the
box and held down the opposing bats
men to a nicety.
Elma Hutton, Wilmington's new
fielder, got the lonesome hit for the
Giants and that was a three bagger to
deep left in the first inning, he having
been the second man up. Brown had
previously fouled out to the catcher,
Hutton's beautiful hit, availed noth
ing, however, for McGinnis .flew to
second and Dommel went out short
to first
Poole made a beautiful running
catch of McCann's fly to centre in the
eighth and followed it with a pretty two
bagger in the ninth, but there was no
run getting and not a score had been
made when each side finished its half
ot the ninth.
Greensboro won in the tenth. Sad
to relate, but such ball playing as was
done by the locals Is to be commended
and eminently deserves patronage. It
was the Tall Fox from Randolph that
opened the fireworks for Greensboro.
He was the first man up in the tenth
and swatted a ball to the centrefield
fence. It would have been a home
run but theG, O.O. F. fielded it quick
ly and only three bases were allowed.
Sullivan hit out to second. Conneen,
next up, hit a hot one to Lattin at
short and Fox scored on the wild
throw home. Jones forced Conneen
at second and Poole flew out to short
There was the measly run which won
the game and which could not be
overcome by Wilmington at its last
trip to the stick.
