the Legislature, not having stated as
one of its objects the passage of an ap'
preparation bill for its expenses, the
question was raised whether it has such
power. 1t is concluded that the power
exists because it is a necessary in
cident to its session but the appropria.
tion must be only for the necessary cost
of the session and there will be good
ground for denying that ten dollars per
day per member for ten days adjourn
ment is such necessary expenditure.

IF the Legislature does not know what
it has been called together to do, it will
not be because it has not been plainly
told by the governor. The business con
fided to it is of but one character there
is nothing at all to distract the attention
of the members from the consideration
of the apportionment bills, unless it be
the question as to whether they can
provide the money necessary to pay their
per diem and expenses, and how
many holidays they can manage to
get during the session at full pay. They
need to be circumspect. The governor
has stood them up before the people, in
a corner, just as naughty children are
stood up in school. They have their
task given them, which when they have
done they can 60 home. And there is no
use in kicking against it; for if they run
away without doing it they will be
thrashed when they get home to their in
dignant people,

confusion one of the lady charioteers aban-

beating the bars of their cages and tho

largely of women and children.

A Proposed Gymnasium.

Lex. Barney contemplates starting first
class gymnasium in this city, about the
middle OF September, provided he can secure
enough members to guarantee success.
Wilmington needs good gymnasium and
the only wonder is that some enterprisine
man has not seen this need and made the
experiment ere this. Mr.. Barney, who has
had considerable experience In this line,
says first-class gymnasium containing
parallel bars, ladders, ropes, horizontal bars,
rowing machine, Il apeze, rings, dumb bells,
Indian clubs, lifting machine, striking bag,
boxing gloves, pulley weights, leaping bars,
etc., cannot be run without great wear and
tear, but there are certainly enough young
men in Wilmington who desire to become
athletics and are willing to pay reasonable
price for the privilege. Several gentlemen
have already handed him their names and
he would like all who are interested and feel
the need of good place to exercise, where
they will be unmolested, to call or send
their names to No. S East Seventh street.
The terms he states will be $40 per year,
payable In advance.

New View of the Brandywine.
ESunday atar.1


An oil painting of unusual merit for the
work of amateur and which, indeed, would
do credit to mature artist is now in the
hands of Harry Yerger, to receive six-inch
gold frame, size 22x36. The subject as a
Brandywine landscape, the scene being lust
above the old Barley Mill dam. We do not
remember having seen for a long time a
more pleasing view of the Brandywine on
canvas than that afforde by this painting.
The drawing and colsring are alike skill
fully done and the limpid, liquid quality of
the quiet stretch of water just above the
dam is represented in admirable style, The
management of the foliage, which to accom-
pl1sh success fully is one of the most diff
cult things In the landscape art, is worthy
of especial note In this picture as demon
strating freedom of touch and an appre-
citation of the relative value of the minor
lights and shades which unmistakably in
dieate the possession of artistic ability oil no
ordinary quality. Mrs. G. B. Rhoads is the
talented artist. We hope she will do her
friends and the public the pleasure of ex-
hibiting 1t after Mr.. Yerger has mounted in
the handsome gold frame he is now prepar-
ing for it.

NOTES.


The Blue Rose club of Rising Sun, has
sent challenges to al. the amateur clubs of
Wilmington, but the latter are afraid to ac-
cept.
McKendrick, who was with the Trenton
club for awhile, has eturned to this city, as
he does not wish to sign with the Trenton
club, although the manager is desirous of
securing him.
The Young Chicagos, after accepting a
challenge from the Young Experts for a
game at Thirteenth and Market streets, Sat-
urday afternoon, refused to play, whereupon
the umpire ordered the game to the Young
Experts by score OF 9 to o.
An exciting game of ring ball was played
few days ago between two teams of
two men each. Councilman Blat pitched
for the Brown Stockings and Hugh Sam,
Frenchman, pitched for the oppos-
ing team. At the ending of the tenth in
ming the score stood 10 to 8, against the
Brown Stockings who struck for more wind
and refused to play. The rules at the be-
ginning of the game were that so runs must
be made before the team making them
could claim victory and that the defeated
team should set up to cantaloupes, but the
kick up which occurred in the tenth inning
dispelled all the beautiful visions of canta-
loupes that foated in the minds of the young
men and compelled the players to lunch on
Ice water.
