A conflict of races such as this man

such whito league must be deeply
regretted, it is only what was to have
been expected. Tho negroes have

Peach Growers, Meeting.

The regular June meeting of the Peninsular
Fruit Growers Association convened in Gull
breth's Music Hall, Dover, on Tuesday last. S.
F. Shallcross was elected Chairman, and E. r.
Cochran Secretary, pro tenn.
Owing to the absence of the regular Secretary,
the reading of the minutes of last meeting was
omitted.
Mr.. Samuel Townsend exhibited one limb each
of most of the different vari. ties of peaches from
his orchards all of which showed very finely,
and it was estimated that if his trees were any
thing like his exhibit made here, he would have
at least two baskets to the tree. The chairman
Mr.. Shallcross, who is the largest peach grower
in the State, said that he could show some varie-
ties about as good as those exhibited by Mr.
Townsend. Mr.. Robt Griffith reported very
meagre crop from Cecil and Kent counties, Md
Reports were also made from Kent and Sussex
counties, Del, which were very unfavorable, in
deed, and 1t was said that there would be few if
any, peaches to ship from these counties, except
Hale's Early.
On motion, an estimate of the probable amount
of peaches to be shipped from each station, was
made as follows.

A prominent commission man from New York
was present and stated that the facilities afforded
by the Penna. r. r. Co. were much less than
they had ever been, from the fact that they had
placed additional tracks between the old tracks
in Jersey City, rendering il not only inconve-
nient to unload cars, but really dangerous and
almost impossible to do it in proper time He
stated that in order to get fruit over to the mar
kets in good time some of the truckmen or cart
ers went over to Jersey City as early as clock
the night before, and took their positions and
stayed there all night on their trucks in order to
be in their places when the train came in.
