Chips From Graniteville.

!. With propitious weather, an excit-
ing and most interesting contest Of base
ball was played yesterday, between the
Graniteville Browns and Bismarck
Reds. in the presence of two hundred
and fifty lovers of the diamond. The
game started at o'clock sharp. The
Reds were first at the bat, and Mr..
Watkins. the Reds clever catcher.
stepped up, swiped out clean home
run to open up with. followed by two
more runs, when the side gave way for
the Browns who crossed the plate for
three runs which tied the score for the
initial opening. The second inning
was a goose egg for each side; the game
progressed very nicely, and up to the
eth inning they were even tallies. The
Browns, as their score book shows, for
several years past have done the most
of their run getting in the latter end,
started in the 9TH with a vim, and in
this secured two runs and, in the Sth,
five more We're chalked up 10 their credit
to two goose eggs for their opponents
in the same innings, when the Reds
raped out two more in the 9th, thus
ending the run getting 50 far as they
were concerned, and the Browns, at
this point being five runs ahead, did
not take their turn at the bat. The
play was most interesting all through,
and both teams fought hard for the
game, and showed hostile feelings
bordering upon more occasions than
one. There were two eventful features
connected with the home team splaying;
one of which was brilliant throwing
of Gus Mead from left field to the home
plate, thereby cutting off a nearly sure
run for Reds, and the second was the
great swipe OF johnny Kelly to the left
field fence foi. home run.
The copious rain of last evening fills
long felt want in this section, and is
most heartily appreciated.
Mrs. Fred kaths and daughter Annie,

| The Fifteenth Annual Commence

dia occurred yesterday. Early after
noon carriage after carriage rolled up
grounds and deposited their burdens
under the massive pOrtico in front of
/ the building, and. when the hour for
/ the opening arrived the large exhibit
. ton hall was filed to its utmost capac-
ity. 1t was a pleasant, intelligent and
appreciative audience. too. The clos
est attention was paid to every portion
OF the entertainment and the applause
was frequent. hearty and in full earn
est. There is something most pleasing
and winning in the appearance of young
ladies on commencement day, and the
joyous assembly of fair and lovely
daughters on the college stage yester-
day afternoon was a picture more
bright, beautiful and fascinating. than
all the rarest gems of artists famed and
skilled Such scenes are not only of
the moment, either, but often last as
long as the mind has memory and the
recollections Of these happy occasions
of youth and beauty. not infrequently.
in long after years, give rays of light
and hope, to the dismal and dreary =.
paths of life. Groups of Intelligence
and beauty, such as are to be found at
the Ursuline Academy, are GASES in the
desert of existence, and the commence
ment days of that institution are antic-
ipated keenly, enjoyed greatly, and re-
membered forever afterwards.
The programme for yesterday was.
as Is always the case, a most excellent
one: It had been selected with due care
and excellent discretion: the musical
selections were classical, and rendered
with skill and precision. The young
ladies, il every instance acquitted them
selves most splendidly, and gave every
evidence Of the careful and thoughtful
training they have received during the
past ten months. 1t was a happy end
ing OF Il useful year, a preparation for
the real duties OF life, and the evidence
was there Enthusiastically that the time
had been most profitably employed.
The opening was directing Song"
