cumstances the attendance small. The crease
played wrctchedly, and everything being taken into
account, the visitors did wonderful work with the
bat in the frst inning. The continued to get
worse, however, and the second inning was hzzle,

retired with the total at 1874. Patterson and New
hail took the score to 202 when the former, who had
been at the wlckets three hours without giving the

nicely for II, and Captain Newhall carried out his
bat after an hours stay at the sunpS for brilliant

FREEDMEN'S DAY.
The TWENTY Fourth Anniversary
of the Freedom OF the Negro
Race TODAY,

The TWENTY Fourth Anniversary
of the Freedom OF the Negro
Race Today.
This morning opened cloudy and
warm. 1t soon cleared and became
very hot. The weather had a great
to do with delaying the formation of
the Odd Fellows procession on Frank
lin square, and it was IL o'clock be-
fore it passed through the city on it's
way to the springs. Nearly every
colored man, woman and child were
on the streets early however and did
not seem to mind the heat much, but
all were bent on celebrating their
emancipation day to the fullest
extent. This year the celebration
parties, the Odd Fellows celebrating
at the springs and the people who are
not Odd Fellows generally celebrating
at Fest's garden. Good programmes
for both celebrations have been ar
ranged, and both resorts are crowded
with negro celebrants.
At the springs the exercises con-
sisted of the reading of the presidents
emancipation proclamation, Grafton
by Bishop Grant, speeches by DR..
Starnes, Rev. Holt, Rev. Denem, B.
F. Wallace, w. w. Grimes and
others. After the speaking the in
stallation of officers of the lodge
took place. A grand ball will
take place tonight. The celebration
will be continued tomorrow and
there will be a lawn tennis and n
base ball game, exhibition drill and
sham battle.
At TESTS garden the speakers were
Col. Lafayette Walker. Prof. Garnett,
DR.. Starnes, B. F. Kelley, Elder Ray
ford, n. c. Williams, and others. DIR.
n. b. Sterrett read the proclamation
Of emancipation. The remainder of
the day will be spent in various ath-
letic games and sports, base ball,
greasy pole, etc.; and in the reading
of essays. A ball takes place tonight.
Tomorrow the celebration will be con-
tinued, with a good programme
mapped out.

In accordance with previous resolu-

Aldermen Boelhauwe, Lockwood and
Rogers a committee to interview G.. P.
Hun tington, of the Southern Pacific
road, with reference to the location of
the general offices of that road at San
Antonio, and see what possibility
there is of securing their removal to
this point. The committee left last
evening for the Southern Pacific head
quarters.
