The grounds at the Exposition have been
secured for Whit Monday, May 18th. and

those who love good, healthy outdoor
sports and exercise. A most attractive
programme will be given, consisting Of
riding at the heads and taking rings with
the sabre, and races OF all descriptions,
from bare-b back dashes TO heavy marching
equipments. Two handsome prizes will
be offered for our bicycle rluers and others

TWAS NINE TO SIXTEEN.
A Hard Fought Game at the Island-Ths
Unexpected Happened Decidedly
Hsw IL all Was Done.

Nine TO sixteen tells the tale OF how the
Spiders pulled a hard-fousht game out oi
the fire yesterday evening at island farh
from the bloody-shirt Virginias
In 10 the eighth inning the eagle OF
victory auttered over the colors OF the
league representatives as If he were ABOUT
to light thereon, but when the third man
was retired in said inning the bird OF
liberty took his seat on the standard OF
the Spiders, folded his wings, ana went
TO sleep. Ar,
Mark Anthony twlrled the sphere for me
Collenans. The great victor was IN ms
best form. His shoots, curves, ana gen
eral supply OF zig-zags were one 700
many for his opponents. who dislocated
their spinal columns more than once ~
their endeavors TO find the deceptive bail.
Bankenship and Luck essayed TO DO
the honors for the Nirginias. They sue.
ceeded very nicely up to the aforesaid
eighth inning. After that, in the phrase
ology Of the smiling rooter. tney were
not In It,"
The Spiders went to the bat first. and
made three talleys. The Virginias saw
them three better before they were nnaily
retired.
TIE SPIDERS GooszD.
The Spiders were goosed in the second,
while Napier made the circuit or the

wild TO first
Only four Of the Collegians faced Blank
enship in the third. The Virginias were
also retired without score In their half.
The next two innings added two runs
10 the Spiders score, while their oppo-
uents managed to add as many 10 their
own pile
In the sixth both teams drew blank,
while in the seventh the Spiders made
two and the Nirgnias failed to score.
The score now stood to Z In favor or
the Lesguers. Alas, why Is II that the
unexpected always happens? BODY Phil
lips was the first man to face Blanken-
ship in this memorable inning. The large
twirler shut one eye, smiled out OF the
corner of his mouth. and pitched the ball.
SO much for the first chapter When the
dust and noise had subsided, and the
wearers of the sunrise garments had
gathered themselves together. and Won
dered If they had been toying with the
Petersburg powder mill. or whether they
had unclaimed a baby cyclone, the game
was lost. In the melee OF base-hits and
the general confusion of the bewildered
Leaguers nine of the fieet-footed Col
legians had crossed the plate. From this
iuncture out there were no interesting fea-
lures.
For the Virginias the fielding Of Frost
and Foster and the batting of West and
Blankenship were the features.
For the Spiders the phenomenal fielding
Of Turner and the general team playing
were noticeable.

WASHINGTON, May % The status OF

The facts in regard to the sale of the

der the original law the secretary OF
the treasury was directed to dispose OF
the government buildings at the worlds
fair at the close of the exposition. pref
creme in securing them being given
the city of Chicago and the exposition
commission. They were offered tC
them and each declined to accept them.
The appropriation being exhausted,
Secretary Carlisle could not advertise
in the press for bids for the buildings,
but he did receive, through the solicita,
ton of a treasury agent, some seventy
five offers for the buildings. The high
est offer was from the Chicago House
Wrecking Company of $3.50. Score
tary Carlisle decided to accept this offer,
but no money has passed or papers ex-
changed. At the time he took this ac-
ton he was not aware of the desire OF
the people of Atlanta or of the intent
of congress-, SO he has held the matter
up for the present.

he Editor of THE GLOBE:

To the Editor of THE GLOBE:
Referring briefly to your editorial
column of the Goth inst, ia which you
take issue with the Daily Earth, of
Lynchburg, Va as regards an investiga-
ton called for, or to be had, of the ac-
counts Of the town of Durham, please al
low me to say that the books of the town
are open to the inspection OF any citizen
and that an accounting may be had. |
would beg to state farther that taking
into consideration tangible assets and
liabilities the Indebtedness of our cOrpO-
ration as of May /, 1898, and May l, 1894
does not materially affect our welfare
seeing that all accounts have been audi
ted by sworn officers Of good repute.
Once more, as one of the humble Gill
zen of our town, allow me to send for
ward a flag Of truce and ask for peace,
and reconciliation among ourselves,
meantime assuring every one that there
is small occasion for alarm and that our
town is safe, and that we, as a corpora
ton, may, as yet, be considered solvent.
This trespass because you mentioned
our name officially. Respectfully,
ISAAC N. LINK, Mayor.
