number OF gentlemen were present to wit

time been selected many others would
have been on the grounds. The birds
were enclosed in a large cane coop, ana
were in fine condition. When the top OF
the coop was raised the pigeons arose To-
gether They circulated around In the
air for several minutes, and then took n
straight shoot northward and very soon
had disappeared from view. The distance
from Petersburg to Leesburg is about l4o
miles. and IL was expected that the birds
would reach home early after noon. Mr..
Pencil was notified by telegraph OF the

game In every respect. SO when the
game was called 700 people had passed
within the gate, but Il was a woefully-
disappointed crowd. The playing on the
part Of the Washington and Lee team.
with one or two exceptions. was more like
that OF schoolboys than that OF a team
with a good record. For six Innings,
Pratt. Of the Washington and Lees. held
the North Carolina s.uggers well in hand,
although he had miserable support. The
flelders could not hold a ball. They
muffed and suffered good balls to pass
through their hands as though they were
pieces Of hot iron. In the seventh and
eighth innings Pratt was batted at will
by the Tar-Heels.
The only redeeming feature for Wash
ington and Lee was a tribe play in the
fifth inning. The fielding OF the Tar-Heels
was not as accurate as in their last
game here. Stanley made two errors, and
misp!ays were made by Others OF the
team. Gregory played well-in fact,
orilliantly-talking everything that came
his way. Stephens carried of the honors
for batting, scoring three doubles and d
long hit over right-feld fence. Pearsall
pitched steady game for his team.
North Carolina had seventeen hits;
Washington and Lee four Nothing
greater than double was batted. II was
expected that Carolina would win, but
none anticipated the walkover she had.
