bercd that some time ago, Rev. j. b. Quigg
brought suit against Burton q Thompson les
sees of the Bright House, at Rehoboth, to re-
strain them from permitting dancing on the
premises, as 1t was contrary to the charter
granted by the Legislature to the Rchoboth
Beach Camp Meeting Association.
The case was ably argued before Chancellor
salisbury in August last who reserved his de-
cision in the matter for the time being.

opinion, deciding that he has no jurisdiction in
the matter, and also at the same time deciding
that the Rev. Mr.. Quigg should pay the cost
OF the case. Mr.. Quigg is now soliciting sub

PARsIMONIOUs-Both the Dover and Mid
dletown Fair Associations have this season sent
large orders for printing to Wilmington and
Philadelphia, while in their respective towns
are well equipped offices that would have been
glad to do the work at reasonable prices, and
lnaSmuch as the success of these fair associa-
tlonS Is largely due to the efforts of their town
papers it would seem as though the mana
gers would feel in duty bound to give them
their patronage even if they did not make
quite as low bids as some of the city printers
Milford Chronicle.
The Chronicle is not strictly correct in its
statement. We happen to know that the
transcript office did all the work of the Mid
dletown Fair but two jobs, and these the office
could not conveniently do, at least in time
That in regard to the other is perhaps correct.
TIE MIDDLETowN RAcEs.-The trials of
speed at the Middletown Fair were as follows
Wednesday: Moscow" colt race, best
time 3.0l, no premiums.
" John e. best time PA purse $50
Lyman best time 2. .434, purse $500.
Thursday: For Peninsular horses, without
record, Gypsy Queen" best time 2.j8
Second race of Peninsular horses, Little
Frank best time 2.44, purse 5000
Third race, MAY" best time 237, purse
Friday: First race, Lyman" best time
PAL, purse $50
Second, "Wild Air time 2.31l, purse $3.50,
Third, Sherman Morgan" best time 2.377'
purse $3.50
1t is said there was considerable iockeying
which destroyed the interest of the spectators
thus not being able to tell when each horse was
doing his best.
