The Blues and the Green's crossed bats yesterday at Stokeley's field, the score resulting in 3 to 2 in favor of the blues. It was a very exciting game and was witnessed by a large crowd. Tay lor was captain of the Blues, and Em erson and Taylor constitued the batery. For the Greens, Heide was captain, and Bellamy and Heide were the battery. Messrs. R. J. Jones.N. Jacobi.A. J.

He was first elected In 1854, and with the exception of four years, during one of which he served as grand mas ter, he has been honored with that re sponsible office.

Lula Carpenter, the colored woman, who was found unconscious and badly injured on the street In front of No. 19 South Water street at 1:45 o'clock yes terday morning, was carried to the city hospital at 5 o'clock yesterday morn ing. An examination showed thatthere was a terrible gash about four inches wide, in the front of her htad, laying the scalp bare to the bone. The skull was also fractured, and the wo man was paralyzed from her waist down. Pieces of glass were found in her hair, making very probable the the- story that she was hit by a beer bottle. The woman regained perfect conscious-) ness, but she- has no recollection ' of how she was hurt. Carrie Styles and Ed.

Valuable Publication. The Messenger acknowledges the re ceipt of a forty-three page album, en titled "New Hanover County, Sub Tropical Region of iNorth Carolina," gotten out under the auspices of the Wilmington chamber of commerce, as an advertisement of the resources and advantages of New Hanover county. It is neatly printed and handsomely il lustrated, and we are confident that It will be a great benefit to this section of North Carolina, The book contains a description of New Hanover county, with valuable data as to its schools, climate and healthf ulness, and the pro ductiveness of its sofL and its adapta bility for trucking and : agricultural purposes. It contains ar map of New Hanover county with the ocean front and gulf stream marked, showing !the snow and frost lines, railroads, river basins, and containing much general information. There are eighteen hand somely illustrated pages, containing the following pictures: Scene on Smith's creek near Mr. John F. Garrett's, farm, just northeast. of the city limits of Wil mington; the handsome residence of Mr. J. T. Foy, at Scotts Hill, fourteen miles from Wilmington ; a turpentine distillery;- picking strawberries on Mr. Westbrook's farm; a section of the shell road from Wilmington to! the sea shore; a familiar trucking scene with hundreds ' of hands In the field, near Wilmington; cuts of two of the coun ty's public school houses; a train of refrigerator cars being loaded with strawberries; a train loaded' with strawberries and pulling out for the northern markets; a sweet potato field on Mr. J. T. Foy's farm at Scotts Hill; a peanut field on Mr. Foy's farm; Mr. G. H. Hutaffs lettuce bed in the sub urbs of Wilmington; corn two months old, on Mr. F. M.

Cahady's farm, near Wilmington; and a view showing a magnificent palmetto tree growing on Smith's Island, at the mouth of the Cape Fear river. In the back of the book are extracts from The Messenger concerning the "treasure trains" which load with strawberries along the Wilmington and Weldon railroad. In the season of 1896 the shipment of strawberries amounted to. 3,000,000 quarts, an increase of 1200 per cent over the shipments of the pre vious season.., The book contains many interesting communications from our truckers, giv ing remarkable yields of truck. Mr. F. M. Foy states that his yield In Irish potatoes was 185 to 220 bushels per acre besides other crops on , the same land, and that in 1892 he "made 11,000 mark etable cantaloupes, on two and a half acres of land, that brought $490, , Mr. W. B. Canady says he raises from fifty to sixtl bushels of peanuts per acre; that he. has received $145 for the can taloupes raised on little more than a half acre; that on one and a half acres he cleared $i46, after deducting freight and commissions; that his yield of po tatoes Is from 300 to 400 "bushels per acre.

Mr.. G. H., Hutaff noes that on a half acre in strawberries he cleared $50i From a half acre in lettuce he realized a profit of $400. There are tother interesting facts and data of truck farming around Wilmington, that made, the book read like a romance, and we are sure it will be exceedingly Interesting to all Into whose hands this valuable publication may fall. The chamber of commerce Is to be congratulated upon the success in get ting out this book. It was compiled" by the advertising committee of the cham ber, consisting of Professor M. C. S.

To expel impurities and cause the vital fluid to 'become vigor ous and life-giving, Ayer's Sarsapa rilla is the most powerful and effective medicine in use. Wilmington and the Baptist Convention "WELL PROVIDED FOR." (Charity and Children. Thomasville, N. C.) Wilmington took the best of care 6f the delegates. They were a little crowded, to be sure, but everybody sof ar as we know, was well provided for, and the town will be pleasantly remembered, by those who enjoyed its boundless hospitality, from one end of the country to the other. We have seen no estimate of numbers in attendance on the Southern Baptist convention, but Wilmington was fuller of Baptists last week than ever before in all its history. But that story about the lack of homes for delegates was all a hoax. The doors of the homes swung wide open, and the hospitality of the old town was unbounded and gracious. Jew and Gentile, Roman Catholic and Protestant alike, received the Baptist hosts with - open arms. Pastor "Oliver managed the big meeting magnificent ly, and the praises of pastor and people are scattered over the country from Maryland to Mexico. . . RECEIVED WITH OPEN HAND AND HEART. For the second time In its history of fifty-two years the Southern Baptist convention has "met in the state of North Carolina. In 1872 the convention was held in Raleigh; this time in the city of Wilmington. Hither" turned many hundreds of pil grim feet from all over our southland from Maryland to Texas, from Mis souri to Florida and our hospitable seaport has received with open hands and heart the representatives of the largest, most orthodox body of Bap tists in the world. If in the mind of any native of the state or foreigner there was any doubt as to the ability of Wilmington to en tertain the convention, that doubt was entirely removed the first day of this great meeting. Handsomely were the numrous fnessengers cared for andevery body seemed delighted. Pastor Oliver and his efficient co-workers deserve great credit and sincere gratitude for the ample provision made for this occasion. In addition to open-hearted enter tainment southern Baptists express pleasure at Wilmington and its vi cinity. In every way the convention's needs and comforts had been anticipated and supplied, and every guest had abundant reason to carry away from Wilmington pi esant imnressions of the city and its people. Council of the Diocese of North Carolina. The Episcopal Council of the Diocese of East Carolina will convene in St. Phillip's church, Goldsboro, on next Thursday, May 20th.

The Messenger's work was highly creditable to any paper in any section of the country, and it has received the thanks of all interested in the work of that great convention. "NOTHING SLOW ABOUT IT. Evening Dispatch. Our enterprising contemporary. The Messenger, is entitled to much credit for the superb manner in which it handled the news of the Southern Baptist conven tion.

"COVERED ITSELF WITH GLORY." The Wilmington Messenger covered itself with glory. Its reports were full and accurate and its editorial references were kindly and intelligent.
