In spite of the heavy scoring the game was interesting as the scores were kept close, the High School only winning In the ninth inning, by, making six runs. Both teams hit well but the main cause of so many runs was the aw ful condition of the diamond and bad umpiring.

Large Crowds In Attendance. On Thursday of this week the ses sion of the Elizabeth City Graded Schools came to a close. The occa sion wus marked by " appropriate Commencement exercises in the au ditorium of the high school buiid in. These exercises began with a mus ical selection rendered by Misses Celja TJmphlett and Maud Williams. This was followed- by an essay, "The Dismal Swamp," written and read by Miss Eula Wood. This essay was written in com petition for a gold medal offered by the JNorth Carolina Historical Socie ty of the Daughters of the Re vol h tion, and won the medal. The essay was a very instructive and well written one, ;and ;,was, read , by Mini U.laJjjiZ.Slaaal rig- mann er. q " The reading of the essay Was fol lowed by a musical selection render ed by little Miss Alma Wlnslow, a first year pupil in music. She show ed marked proficiency for one who has been studying music for so short a time and reflected credit upon herself and her teacher. But the most delightful event in trie program was "Midsummer Eve," a musical fairy play given by a num ber of young girls playing the parts of will-o-the-wisps, fairies and elves, in fancy costumes. At the beginning of the play the stage was darkened and little Miss Pauline Beveridge clad in simple and flowing robe of white, entered as Dorothy, the maiden lost in the forest ai night. Told by "Nursio" that one wandering in the woods at midnight on midsummer eve will bo sure to find the fairies, she has stol en from her bed and pone out to seek them. The clear full notes of icr voico as ehe siiiKs her' call to the fairies to come and nbow her s lie way to her home fall most pleas-; antly upon tho earn of the audience, for ihe little maid has it splemlid voie for one of her years. She ia unfortunate, however. . for it is the will-o-the-uisps instead of the fairies who hear her call; and lured by their dancing lanterns and merry music she declde3 to follow them. "I'm just as lost as I can be anyhow," Khe dechros, in tho pecul iar half-proud, half patheti-j accent of a child as she leaves the stage. Then Master William Meeklns en ters, as page of the fairy court, to announce the coming of Queen Mab, and close upon the herald enters the queen herself, her train borne by attentive pages and her praise sung by all her followers. But meanwhile what has become of Dorothy? Just at this point the little green elves dance la to tell ber story, they have rescued her from the will-o-thetwlsps and pray the Queen's permission to bring her in to see the fairies hold their court. Their request is graciously granted and Arbutus and Innocence arevsent to conduct the stranger in. She is given a fairy robe, and becomes the Princess Forget-me-not. Then the fairies bold high carni val under the woodland arches un til the herald announces that the rosy dawn is at hand. This Is the signal for the night's revels to to her home, and with a chorus to the dawn the court adjourns. Trim Aydlett and Frank. Venters i C. NO. 3 Years Work Of Th Schools played the" part of pages, Misses Fannie Owens and Eloifse Cahoon were Arbutus and Innocence, while Miss Margaret Sheep was the Spirit of the Dawn. It is hardly necessary to say that the evening's entertainment was thoroughly enjoyed by all present On Thursday night the regular graduating exercises took place, .af ter the invocation the class song was sung, and then Miss Clara Covert rendered a piano solo, Raphsodle Hongroise, from Liszt. This w,as followed by the annual address, delivered by Hon T ' W. , Bickett, the State's Attorney Ciener- ' al. - This address was a splendid one, and was heard with a threat deal pf interest. : Mr. Bickett is an orator of renown, .nd in hit effort lie bus-,. the address 'Miss Covert at the pia no rendered "The Last Hope," by Cottschalk. Attorney" E. F. Aydlett of this city then presented the diplomas to the graduating class, composed of Misses Nellie Robblns Wood, Bl- onia Margaret Brothers, Minne Bell Haight, Eula Gregory Wood, and Clara V.

Kenyon Wilson pre sented the medals, one to Miss Eula Wood for the best historical essay, and one to Alma Wlnslow, who won he medal in music.
