Condition of the Crops-The Bazaar Sue
cess-To Visit the Soldier Boys.
Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
BLAcKsBURG, May l6.-The condition
of the crops in this section is about as fol-
lows: A great deal of cotton has been
planted, and there is generally very
good "stand." Early planted corn did
not come up so well on account of cool
weather and beating rain; but that
planted later makes very good showing.
The oats crop looks fairly well, but is
needing rain badly. Wheat never looked
better, and if nothing happens to it, an
unusually large crop will be harvested IN
our township, which will, of course, be a
welcome relief to the farmers, consider
ing the present high price of that impor-
tant cereal.
The bazaar given by the Ladies' Guild
of the Episcopal church, in Cherokee Inn
hall, on the 9th instant, notice OF which
was given in THE ENQUIRER of the 4th,
was very gratifying success, both for its
social and financial features. The hall,
which was tastefully decorated with
festal and national colors, was well filled
with an excellent and animated compa-
ny, there was an intelligent instrumental
music, fish pond which delighted the
children, elegant refreshments for all, and
the sum realized was nearly $50.
Superintendent A. Tripp, of the .. Il.
d c. road, with his family, consisting OF
Mrs. Tripp, her mother, Mrs. Weir, and
Miss Annie Weir, will 60 to the soldiers
camp at Columbia OH Wednesday for the
purpose of visiting his son, Mr.. John
Tripp, who is member of the Catawba
Rifles. Mrs. NJ. Z. Deal will accompany
them, and she will go to visit her son,
Agustus NJ. Deal, who is also member
of the company. They will carry with
them good wishes from the many friends
of both families to the boys for their good
health and safe return home.
Thursday last, the members of the

nized as the Alfonso XII, and the other
as the gunboat Legazpi, both of which
were known to be bottled up in the
harbor. The two ships made out as if
they contemplated dash for the open
sea. The American vessels immedi-
ately gave chase. The Spaniards con-
tinued on, hugging the shore for a dis
tance of about five miles. Then they
turned back and opened on the Ameri-
cans. Some hot fighting followed, and
several shells burst about the Alfonso
MI, carrying away a part of her rig
giug. The American vessels were not
all the Spanish shots going
wide. 1t turned out that the Span
iards were only trying to inveigle the
light American ships under the heavy
guns of Moro; but the Americans
had been caught in that trap once, and
declined to bite again.

and l have been on more than half a
Dozen" Work was continued on up
through yesterday morning, and the other
riders were no less enthusiastic in their
praise. Before the races commenced, the
universal verdict was: depend upon it {;
if anybody falls, or for any other reason
fails to do his best, he can't throw it of
on the track"
The work of the committee on publici-
ty and promotion was also done i'll a
thorough manner. MesSrs. w. Is. Moore
and S. l.. Hobbs had the principal direc-
ton Of this work but all the members OF
the association gave all the assistance in
their power. Autographs and small
bills were distributed everywhere, the
newspapers in adjourning towns gave
pleasant notices, and different members
made trips up and down the railroads.
All the wheelmen all about were interest
ed, and they were hero with their friends
and acquaintances from everywhere.
York county was particularly we'll rep
resented. The people first commenced
coming in from the country during yes
terday morning by private conveyance.
All the incoming trains brought big
crowds, and by noon the streets, stores
and hotels presented the appearance of
circus day, with the exception that the
visitors generally, ladies and gentlemen,
constituted thoroughly genteel aggrega-
tion-one calculated to excite admiration
and pride.
The days programme opened with a
freman's parade and a contest between
the Queen City, Rose Hunter and Arling-
ton (colored) reels. Two heats were run.
Distances were not measured in either
case. The three companies stationed
themselves at approximately even dis
lance from hydrants, and at the sound Of
the fire alarm ran for it. A bystander
got mixed up in the hose of the Rose
Hunter company and the boys were
knocked out. The work of the Queen
City's and Arlington was admirable. No
effort was made to secure absolutely accu-
rate observation, and opinions differ as to
which threw water first. They were
very close together, but the weight of
testimony was in favor of the Arlngtons.
In the second contest the Rose Hunters
got there first with water; but it was
without Il nozzle. The Queen Citys and
ArlingtonS were again close together. 1t
looked like tie ana probably was.
The next interesting feature Of the pro-
gramme was the military parade on BIZ
cycles. The company was composed OF
about 80 boys and girls, in costume, with
elaborately decorated wheels and under
command of Mr.. w. b. Moore. The pa
rade passed through the streets to the
grounds, executing in fine style military
movements, such as forming twos, fours,
etc. The parade ended at the racing
park with circuit of the track, and the
really meritorious work of the riders won
considerable applause.
In the programme, of course, could only
be published the list Of riders in accord
ance with applications. Those who pre-
sented themselves at the tape during the
day were as follows:

-Dewey's dispatch boat, Mccullough,
arrived at Hong Kong, on Sunday, and
among other things told of the recent
capture of the Spanish gunboat Callao,
just arrived from the Caroline islands.
The Callao had not heard of the COM
mencement of the war. When she
appeared off Manila, one of the Amer
lean warships fired shot across her
bow and signalled demand for her
surrender. She refused. Then shot
was sent directly at her, and she hauled
down her flag. This leaves only one
Spanish gunboat at large in Philippine
waters.
