The distinguishing features of the
May 20th celebration in Wilmington
this year, as of yore, were the annual
outings of the city's two splendid mil
itary organizations, the Wilmington
Light Infantry and Wilmington Di
vision, Naval Reserves, j Both events
were in honor of the anniversary of
the formation of the organizations,
and both of them yesterday were
highly successful. The weather waa
most fayorable'for the target practices
as well as for the visit to the beaches,
which were necessary to the exercises.
The annual outing of the Light In
fantry was at Carolina Beach and by
special arrangement with Capt.
Harper, four trips each way were
made by the steamer Wilmington to
accommodate the crowds during the
day. Large numbers of infantrymen
and their friends patronized the ex
cursion and it . goes without saying
that all had a delightful time. Head
quarters at the beach waa established
at 8edgeley Hall Club House, where
there was music, dancing and refresh
ments throughout the day and until
10 o'clock last night.
The annual target shoot for the-
company medal began in the morning
and lasted until afternoon. The range
was 200 feet up the beach from the
club house and the judge of the con
test was Maj. C. H. White, Assistant
nspector of Small Arms Practice,,
C. S. Q. The medal was won this'
year by Corporal H. A. Huggins, who
made a record of 16 out of a possible
25. The next highest was Pri
vate W. L. . Bissinger, who made
13. The scores were all rather
ow on account of the fierce glare
of the sun and the extremely warm
weather. After the regular W. L. .
shoot, the Reserve Corps had practice
and Mr. S. M. Boatwright led with a
score of 22. The records of all who par
ticipated in the shoot are as follows:
Capt. A. P. Adrian, 0; Lieut. N. E.
Gillican, 9;W. L. Bissinger, 13 ; Paul
Cantwell. 5; A. M. McClure, 0; Eugene

Maj. O. EL White, 3.
The medal won yesterday by Cor
poral Huggins was held last year by
the late E. Keith Calder. !
The Naval Reserves Celebration.
The annual target practice by Wil
mington Division, Naval Reserves,
took place in the afternoon over the
State range at Summer Rest and waa
participated in by the following mem
bers of a gun squad under command
of Lieut. EL M. Chase, : who went
down on the 3 o'clock train over the
Seacoast road: Hergenrother, Blake,
Bradshaw, Bagwell, Fulcher, Had
dock, C. Herring, F. Herring and
Meier. The range was 300 yards and
small Lee rifles, carrying 30 calibre
steel bullets, were used. Hergen
rother led the score with 21 and
Fulcher, Haddock and C. Herring tied
for second place with a score of 18.
The competetive drill for company
medals, and an elaborate, banquet was
enjoyed by the Reserves in their
armory upon the return from the
Beach. In the competitive drill and
manual of arms the gold medal was
won again by W. S. Morris, and the
second distinction for which CoL F.
W. Foster last night established a
silver medal, was won! by J. E.
Bunting.
The banquet which followed the
drill was one of the most ambitious
yet undertaken by the Reserves and
was enjoyed beyond measure by all in
attendance. The armory was taste
fully decorated with signal colors and
evergreens. Upon the outside the
handsome silk flag presented last year
by CoL Foster unfurled itself to the
breeze. The menu included the choicest
viands, and waa complete in every re
spect. CoL Foster, than whom the
Division has no truer friend, was a
guest of honor and during the evening
he still further ingratiated himself
into the love and esteem of the sailors
by presenting the company with a
certified check for $25. Upon the
check was the following humorous
endorsement by Col. Foster: "Pay to
the order of Lieut. H. M. Chase, of
the Wilmington Division, Naval
Reserves. May it be remembered that
when the Queen Regent of Spain
heard of the Wilmington Division,
Naval Reserves', leaving Port Royal
for Cuba ahe issued an edict for
the forts to be abandoned and sent
the white flag with mistletoe, begging
for- terms of surrender,' which was
srranted and further ! loss : of life
averted. Lord bless the Naval R
nerves."
The banquet came to an close this
morning past midnight i after an en
joyable and auspicious celebration of
the day.

MARRIAGE WITH A ROMANCE.
Capt. Edfar 0. Polley Wedded Miss Grif
fith, tf South Carolina, Last Snsday.
The numerous friends of Capt. Edgar
G. Polley were showering him with
congraulations yesterday, the occasion
having been .his return from South
Carolina, where on Sunday at 10:30
o'clock he married Miss A. M. Grif
fith, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. P.
Brooks, of an influential family of
Richardsonville, Saluda county. The
ceremony waa performed at the Meth
odist parsonage in the town of Saluda
in the presence of a few relatives and
friends by Rev. H. L. Baggett.
Mr. and Mrs. Polley arrived in the
city Monday afternoon and are at
home at No. 912 Market street.
The marriage was quite a surprise
to Captain Policy's numerous
friends here. He had never met
the bride-to-be previous to his .visit to
South Carolina, although there had
been a correspondence and an ex
change of photographs. It was a case
of love at first sight, and so there waa
nothing to do but to drive to the home
of the bride's pastor and have the
ceremony performed.
Capt Polley ia the popular Boarding
Officer at the t7. S. Custom House in
this city.

Charlotte, N. C, May 20. It
took 2 long innings for the leaders in
the pennant race to vanquish the un-
ucky Sailors on the Charlotte diamond
this morning, the game having been
played in the forenoon to give the
ark over to the horse racers later in
the day. The score was 4 to 3 and
the contest was witnessed i by 1,000
persons. The fireworks started up at
10 A. M. and waged fast and furious
until the Hornets shot a man across
the plate in the twelfth. Watson re
placed Mathison .in left field in the
tenth and each1 were credited with an
error when the final reckoning was
made up. Lehman, for Charlotte got
careless behind the pan in the fourth
and Manager Ashenback sent him to
the bench. He was relieved by Arm
strong and Brandt went to first base in
place of Armstrong.

The Game They Did Play
Went the Same Old Way.
The pitchers to-day will probably
by Bishop for Charlotte and Sweeney
or Mathison for Wilmington.
Twaa Independence Day, the
twentieth of May ; and the game that
they did play, jest went the same old
way.
Well, it was a good day at Char
lotte for gate receipts, anyhow, and
this ia some comfort to the losing
team. 1 j
To play such a team as Charlotte's
eleven innings to a tie and then j lose
by one run is unfortunate, but it is
good baseball. j
There are hundreds of baseball
devotees here who have not yet lost
faith in the recuperative power of the
Wilmington team. . '
Manager Bryan, of the Newborn
team, has resigned on account of busi
ness engagements, and is succeeded by
Mr. O. I L. Stevens, a "sport" of
"purest ray serene." !
Will the hoodoo never be throt
tled ! Twelve innings, with good
team work, and yet beaten by i one.
Again exclaims the horse editor, in his
agony, VSo near, and yet so far."
That Wilmington percentage is
growing very thin. It nerds a rem
edy composed of cod liver oil, pepsin
and nox vomica. Unless something la
done to give its attenuated form a
bulge it will have to be supported with
darning needles.
The Charlotte Observer, referring
to the Wilmineton team, says: "They
seemed to be a strong, capable lot of
fellows ! who are under hack, and if
tnev take a brace, zrlv their nerves
and put up their beat front there is no
reason why they should continue to
trail along behind all the other teams.
It ia a pleasure to state that their be
havior I was exemplary. Without
overmuch talk they played a clean,
gentlemanly game."
Distressed Schooner Alma.
The schooner Alma yesterday morn
ing began discharging her cargo of
279,000 dozen cocoanuts at the: WU
minartonx.Comnress preparatory to
