'right or
Messrs. Sumner and Williamson, of Winston,
umpired the game to the satisfaction of every one!
After the teams had reached the grounds there
was some delay occasioned by refusal of Trinity
to remove Sutton, their pitcher, who is a Professor
of stenography at Trinity and by his own confes
sion takes no recitations. Trinity refused to play
should Sutton be removed and at last Capt. Bus-
bee gave up to them, although he had written,
when making the date, stating that no one should
play except bona fide members of college, taking
five recitations; and although Trinity said that no
such letter had been received. Trinity took the
field.

a home run, and that one over either the
left fence entitled the batter but to one base.

TOWN DOTS.
The main points in the playing of each member
of the University team we give below:
Busbee made several beautiful catches in centre
field, ^while the catch of Hamlin in left field was
superD, running for a low fly over Jones' head
and stooping low
caught it on
his knee. Both
batted fairly well. Graham did not play the good
ball he was expected to do, for during the sixth
innings a fly came to him in right field, and muf-
fing it, he threw wild to first, thus giving I’rinity
one more run than they deserved—the other two
being earned runs. Graham did good batting-.
Oldham excelled himself, caught several hard
touls, passed no balls and threw true to 2d,
Jones played good ball, but one or two fumbles
that could have been avoided. His batting was
excellent. Shaw did not have a single ball durino-
the game, batted fairly well. Johnston R, pitched
his best, threw no wild ball, gave no bases on
balls and struck out one-fourth of the men wTo
came to the bat; batted well. Johnston H, did
not have many chances of putting in his excellent
2d base work. Did splendid batting. Willard
held his own, as customary; was knocked off his
base twice, but held to his ball like grim death.
His batting was fair. The base running by all
was excellent and cannot be too highly praised.
Our training told in the long run and will win
other games. The team and those who accom-
pamed them were handsomely treated, while at
Winston, by Messrs. W. B. Allen and Abe Strause
- Raleigh, who has been
visiting the Misses Mangum, has returned home
alter a pleasant stay of some weeks.
Miss Laura Payne spent a few days at Bin-
ham s School last week, much to the regret of hei
st udeiit friends. ^
On the night of the 14th Mrs. Hogan's kitchen
caught fire. . It was extinguished before much
damage was done, by the timely efforts of Prof,
'enable and Mr. Charies Mangum, who had his
knee-cap injured during the accident. He is
doing well by this time.
arrived on
the Hill last week. We hope he will remain as
pastor of the P.piscopal church, as they have no
regular one at present and Dr. Gushee, we think
IS just the man tor tiie place.
We were delighted at the enthuaiasm displayed
at our victory over Trinity. When the news was
recenmd both Societies adjourned and a meeting
was held 111 front of the South Building. Amid
he ringing of all the college bells and several
town bells, many hopefi l and hearty speeches
were made by the Faculty and students. A
grand ovation awaited the team upon their arrival
the next day. The University train and eno-ine
bearing them from University Station to Chapel
Hill was laden with flags and bunting, and as the
station the engine whistle
tooted the yell and the score which was immedi
ately taken up by the neighboring factory. The.
tacuity and 200 town-tolks and students wel
comed the boys, and the procession, headed by
a brass band, escorted the team to the hotel
where repeated cheers were given for the team’
the different members who had distinguished
themselves and the zealous Faculty. The order
of hue was: Band, team in carriages decked
with our colors. Faculty and students in carriages
students on horses, students and ladies in can
nages and students and towns-people on foot
Great enthusiasm prevailed and cheer and yell
were repeated many times up and down that
long column.
UNIVERSITY MINSTRELS.
On the night of class-day, Wednesday, April
15th, the Lniversity Minstrels gave their first per
formance. A good audience greeted the troupe
and all were amply repaid for attending. Worthy
of especial mention are Messrs. E. W. Martin and
J. O. Gilmer, Jr., these gentlemen furnished the
tun and carried out their parts in a commendable
way. True is the remark made of Gilmer, “he
makes a much better nigger than white rnan ”
The singing was good and on the whole the per
formance very creditable. The receipts amounted
to something over I40.00.
We are glad to learn that our young friend Mr
Chas. Mangum, has been appointed Gymnastic
Instructor for the Teacher’s Assembly at More-
head, this year. He is capable and will fill the
position to the satisfaction of all.
