A Quiet Day--Many Proposed Attraction
Spoiled by the Rain.


Special Correspondence EVENING JoURzAL-
NEW CASTLE. July 5.-Yesterday
passed off very quietly indeed in this
city. There was nothing worth making
noteworthy in the celebration here. On
Wednesday night the firing Of cannons,
guns, and fireworks lasted nearly all
night. The only interesting thing that
took place yesterday morning was game
of base ball between the Delaware Boys
and the Delaware Stars. The former
beat by a score OF 20 to 5. A game of
ball was to have been played by the
Wide Awakes of this city and the
Alvas of Wilmington, but owing to the
rain the game was not played. The col
ored people were to hold forth on the
battery and had made large preparations
for so doing. Anderson's Band OF Will
mington was TO furnish them with music.
This circus was also spoiled by the rain.
A large number Of people had intended
going to Dover to spend the day, but
owing to the rain the number was quite
small. A great many people gathered on
the battery to see the steamers come in
Fire crackers were fred off all day by the
boys and in the evening the display Of
fireworks were small, but very pretty
