remark thrown out by way of explain
alton, or humor. For instance one
very fat cow was labled Ground steak"
another, "boneless," etc. The exhi-
hilton showed in very practical way
that the finest quality of beef cattle
has not yet entirely disappeared.
The float of Mr.. J. H. Riddle was
very elaborate affair, consisting of
new Milburn wagon drawn by four
handsome horses. The harness and
trappings of the horses were all trim
med in red, and set off with large red
rosettes. Banners on the horses ad-
vertised the many articles for which
Mr.. Riddles establishment is q we'll
known headquarters, such as shingles,
lime, cement, laths, rubber betting,
leather and leather goods, corn, meat,
-four, grain. The float was driven by
Mr.. C. Green Hill, representative of
the famous tobacco manufacturers,
Ogburn, Hill & Co., of Winston. Their
tobacco advertisement was displayed
conspicuously. On the float was a
quartette of Negro musicians, who
sung the song of the Milburn wagon
and made things lively generally by
their music and their antics. This
float was especially creditable.
The float of Messrs. W. B. Moore &
Co., was drawn by two horses. 1t ad-
vertised furniture and paint. The
most conspicuous features were, Q:) a
large and handsome rocking chair; and
(2) a pyramid built of buckets of mas
tic prepared paint. A Negro painter,
dressed in well-daubed overalls, was
the presiding genius.
Mr.. B. N. Moore's float, typical of
his business, was simple; but the
idea was unique. 1t consisted of
Negro enveloped in an imitation
cotton bale. The bale appeared
to be full size and full weight, but
the space that was left for the &C.
commodation of the bearer, of course,
made it quite light. The sticking out
of the fellows head above and his feet
below, and the novel envelope by
which he was surrounded, made
striking picture.
Mr.. C.P. Lowrance had quite TASTE
full and elaborate float representing
family groceries, etc. Among the 9TH
er business men represented were
Messrs. J. M. Starr, w. Adickes and
H. C. Smith.
The procession passed through the
principal streets of town and thence to
the baseball park, followed by the
crowds of people who attended the
game.
YoRKvILLE vs.. GAFFNEY.
The Jubilee week was brought to a
close with a game of baseball between
Yorkville and Gaffney. There was a
magnificent attendance, which seemed
to enjoy every bit of the contest. 1t
was also an impartial crowd and, judg-
ing from the applause, a genuine base
ball crowd. That it was good natured
crowd goes without saying. The game
itself was very pleasantly played on
both sides. There seemed. to be the
very best of feeling, although both
teams fought hard to win. The home
players had gone through trying or
deal. They had been pitted against
strong teams, especially that repre-
senting Gaffney. They have given US
good article of ball, and indeed at
times their playing was extremely
we'll done. They have suffered for
lack of pitching talent-a very serious
handicap but they deserve encourage
ment, for the boys are made of the
right stuff, and of the stuff that win
ming teams are ultimately made of.
Baseball was, without doubt, the chief
attraction, and the Yorkville team is to
be congratulated for its clean ball
playing. The same compliment may,
in fact, be paid to the other teams too.
The score may show a one-sided and
uninteresting game; but such is not
the case. 1t was keenly contested,
cleauly played and an interesting game
to the very end. With the exception
of one disastrous inning, the home
boys held the visitors down very well.
The score by innings was:
Yorkville,..........3 l 002 2s.
