any means abandoned in st. Petersburg,
as a programme of the intended move
ments of the Gar in the summer in case
peace is maintained is already given out.

months, leaving the heir to the throne as

OF money Germany is ready. 1t is her
policy to be so. Any other preparation
means, therefore, the loosening OF the ma

really spending money in military prep

she has such an object there will be war;

The Largest Flag i'm the State.

Mrs. Kate Gatfney, daughter of Mr..
Christopher Ginder, No. 635 West Third
strest, has just completed the largest flag
tver flung to the breeze in this State.
The dimensions of the flag are, 30 feet
6 inches long by 10 feet wide, and lao
yards of the best English bunting were
required for its construction The bunt-
ing was procured from the great dry goods
store of Lord & Taylor, New York.
Ten yards of material were required
for the stars, which are thirty-eight in
number,-the full oomplement-as there
are now just that many States in the
Union.
The flag was made entirely by Mrs.
Gatfney, and the work, which was of a
very difficult nature, on account of the
great size of the flag, is exceedingly well
done.
This beautiful specimen of the National
emblem VIII be a special feature of the
fair now going on ut st. Pauls Catholic
church where it will be contested for by
the Delaware and Weccacoe s. Il. f..
Companies.
Tomorrow evening it will be on exhi-
btion at the Delaware House and on
Thursday evening at the Weccacoe House,
after which it will be taken to the fair.

THE RIO DE JANEIRo MAKES A QUICK
RUN TO NEW YORK.
The new iron steamship City of Rio de
Janeiro, built by Messrs John Roach &
Sons, of Chester, started on her trial tri D
from her pier at Chester on Saturday
afternoon, but on her arrival at New
Castle it was deemed advisable to have
additional ballast, and the vessel was
therefore ordered back to the starting
point. A hundred tons of iron having
been placed on board the vessel started
on Sunday morning and made the run to
New York, a distance of 23S miles, in 1S
hours and 3 minutes, being an average of
l3 miles per hour. The vessel proved
herself to be remarkably quick sailer,
and even with strong tide against her,
was as easily handled as pilot boat.
There were on board, Messrs Garret and
Stephen Roach, and Col. McElwen,
with large party of prominent journal
lists, representing the leading papers of
New York and Philadelphia. The trip
throughout was a most enjoyable one,
and the unanimous opinion of all present
was that the new steamship was well
worthy of the high reputation of the
energetic firm by which She was built
