NORTH STATE. WON.
Another Victory for the lnyincibIe
Shaw University Team.
Score to o Tho Next Game of Great In
tcrest to Be Played Hero VIII be on Sat-
urday When the Shaw and Howard Uni
versity Teams Meet ut League Park.

A very large crowd was present at
League park yesterday afternoon to
witness the game of football between
the Shaw University team. of Raleigh,
N. c., and the Columbia team, of this
city. About two hundred. white lovers
of the game and three thousand coll
ored people were present.
1t was hard fought battle from
start to finish. The game was called
promptly at 8 o'clock, and was played
in two So and 25 minute halves.
The ColumblaS won the kickoff and
made strong rush for the goal OF the
"down-home" team, which they sue
ceeded in reaching after several had
been laid out" one member of the
Columbus having to be carried from
the grounds in n blanket.
AT the beginning of the last half the
down home team made a great rush
for the Columbia's line but were met
by strong opposition. and several times
1t looked as though the Columbias
would score, but after swaying from
one END of the gridiron to the other
several times the North Carolina team
succeeded. by beautiful run by the
quarter back, in reaching the Column
bias line. After several more unsuc-
cessful attempts, lasting only a few
minutes, time was called. and the game
ended with the ball in the possession
OF the North Carolinians, the score be-
ing to 0. n favor of the Tar Heels"
Many fine plays were made by both
teams, but the center-rush of the Co
lumbias and the full back of the Wis
itors were the star players.
The crowd was we'll behaved, and
gave the protectors of the peace little
or nothing to do. save watch the game.

COURTS TOOK HOLIDAY.
THE NEW LAW REQUIRES THE
CLERKS OFFICE TO RE-
MAIN OPEN

There was law which required that
the clerks office should be open even
on legal holidays for the examination
OF papers and records. This was for
the convenience and the necessities Of
attorneys and others for whom such n
modification was absolutely necessary.
The modification was intended to ac-
commodate those whose necessities re-
Quired that they should use the Office.
1t was not intended that the clerks
should stay there in order that the
Office would be open as freely to the
public as ii Is on any other day.
But during the last session OF the
Legislature an amendment was intro
duced which requires all the clerks to
stay In the Office till 6 o'clock.
Mr.. e. w. Saunders speaker of the
house of delegates. is the father OF the
law, and the concensuS of opinion is
that the law should be repealed as to
national and State holidays, since the
clerks are among the hardest worked
in town and are deserving of holidays.
However that may be- the clerk
office was open yesterday, with all the
clerks there doing nothing till the af-
ternoon, when Mr.. Trehy had the shut
tiers closed so that the clerks could go
home for Thanksgiving dinner, and no
business would be invited.
All the courts, except the corporation
court, took holiday, and even the police
court closed n half hour after it opened
rhe corporation court was open and
Judge Martin presided in lieu of Judge
Hanckel. who was absent, to hear the

Thanksgiving at the Y. M. c. a.

The program outlined in yesterday
paper was carried out at the Young
Mems Christian Association complete.
The early morning service and break
fast was attended by fifteen men, who
enjoyed both the service and the break
fast very much.
The service at 1890 a. m, by the
Boys Gospel Army, was attended by
% boys and several adults. The SER
vice lasted thirty minutes, and was fol-
lowed by social of an hour and a
half, which was very much enjoyed by
every boy present. The room of sur
prises was something new as Il whole,
and the boys who were carried through
the different departments were met
with several surprises that they will
not forget soon. The five senses held
full sway. and the boys We're allowed
to see, taste. smell, hear and feel five
different things in each booth and were
then given chance to guess what the
things were. All the boys declared it
one of the best Socials the army has
ever had.
At p. m. the exhibition of the junior
department in the gymnasium was a
special feature, composed of several
very fine numbers, which can best be
described by the word excellent"
The march ut the beginning was very
good, as was also the apparatus work
and also the wrestling contest.
The match game of basket ball at S
p. IN. was very good game, and was
declared won by the Whites"
In the Association hall, at p. M. the
concert by the mandolin club was held
and pleased the audience beyond meas
ure.
Prof. e. H. Shuster opened the pro-
gram with piano solo, and was COM
PEELED to respond to an enchore. The
mandolin club then played two pieces.
after which Miss Lee Eure recited
WHO broke up the meeting? which
was so literally applauded that she
gave an encore. Following the recita-
lions of Miss Eure. two solos were sung
by Prof. Ward. The mandolin club
then played two more selections and
the debate by the members of the
Thackery Literary Society was had.
The question of the debate was

After several very good speeches the
judges awarded the laurels to Mr.. T.

made excellent speeches and over
whelmed the judges with his sound ar
guments. He was very warmly con-
graduated on his grit to speak against
two, but he showed plainly that he was
equal to the occasion.

Norfolk, on Saturday, when, at 2:30 p.
m, the victorious Shaw University

Shaw University will have it's very
strongest players on the field. Some OF
their crack players were not played in

ticipate in the game Saturday. The

LAND oRAesERs COMING.
DELINQUENT TAXES FOR (THE
YEAR) 1897 NIATURE-APPLIC
TIONS NOW

T1ONS NOW.
The land-grabbers will make appli-
cation next week for Norfolk real es-
tate delinquent for taxes for the year
1897. There are more than 100 pieces
OF property in the delinquent books at
the Clerks office. for which application
can now be made.
Mr. w. II. Swami, of Powhatan
county, has already filed some appli-
cations. He is expected here to finish
the work of paying the taxes and get
ting the deeds
lie applied at the city engineers
ONCE Tor the building lines of the prop
erty, but Mr.. Brooke refused positively
to give any assistance because of the
opprobrium with which land grabbers
are regarded here.
MIR. Carey, an attorney of Richmond
mas also given notice that he would be
mere to enter claims against delinquent
property and to demand deeds from the
clerks for the lands.
The taxes for 1897 have been delin-
quent now for more than two years, so
that under the law those who have
paid the delinquent taxes can demand
that the titles shall be transferred to
them.
The clerks have no right to refuse
deeds, provided the law is complied
with, no matter how much they may
dlSapprove of the law no matter what
hardship it may prove in some cases.
Inc impression that decision of the
Court of Appeals requires that a new
application should be filed, seems not
TO be true. Mr.. j. V. Trehy, the clerk.
says he is not aware of such Il decision.
while City Attorney Taylor says that
no decision to that effect has been an
nounced.
