A meeting of number of those interested
in the reorganization Of the Quicksiep base

temporary Organization was formed. After
considerable discussion as to the best plan
to pursue It was decided that the fewer

Willard III. Porter, James q. McComb and
Jas. NJ. Bryan became the proprietors of the
club, each person dcpositlng $500 as a
nucelus with which TO start out. John I.
West was then elected President, James NJ.
Bryan, secretary and Willard Fl. Porter,
treasurer.
The club now is on a sound basis,
both financially and otherwise, and
lovers of the national sport may
rest assured of good club here next
year as the gentlemen interested intend to
run 1t on strictly business basis. 1t is the
intention to enter the Union League, which
includes Hartford, New York, Boston, Tren-

the Trenton team.
Annis, of the Anthracites, is playing good
ball with the Bostons. In one game, last
week, he was credited with three hits and In
seven games he had but one error.
At the next meeting Of the American

Brothers Machine Company of this city are
the plaintiffs and James /. Braunstein, OF
Philadelphia, is the defendant is now on

a contract with the Trumps for the manu-
facture of the machine. Shortly after the
contract was made. Braunstein, 1. is alleged
by the Trumps, commenced to make com
plants about the machines. Their troubles
continued at intervals until about Is months
ago, when Braunstein came to Wilmington
to arrange matters with the Trumps. Mat
ters were not, however, arranged satisfac-
toriy, and Braunstein was arrested on a
foreign attachment. lie gave check for
his bail and was released. Shortly after he
brought suit in Philadelphia against the
Trumps for damages and was non-suited.
The Trumps had large lot of machines on
hand and also a lot of tools used In their
manufacture, and noW on their part they
have brought suit for damages.
The case was called on Tuesday, and that
day and the greater part of yesterday were
consumed in hearing testimony. At the ad-
journment of court Thomas j. Diehl was ad-
dressing the jury. He will conclude. this
morning, after which Mr.. Petite will speak

and finally found that his suit was in

rich. He became engaged to dashing
young widow. One of her friends
asked her: What are You going to be

his money, of course said She Sears

he cried; mot by a--blesscd- sight
He went to his lawyer, and was told
she would have good case in breach

$4,000 and told him to 20 and see the
widow and INK things up;" which was
done, she accepting the bride and Civ

when he was an old man. He found
himself enormously rich, but thought:

white balls are of small account. There
is no danger of couples straying of;
the cadet is engaged for every dance,
and there is little time for sentiment.
The band plays kind of hoppity- skip
pity-iump music that is highly appro-
pirate to the occasion. The fact that the
assemblage is rather youthful must,
however, be studiously avoided in con-
versation. The cadets speak of each
other always as men. The cadet Off

waists, are considered terrible fellows
among the girls by the rest of the
corps. At the balls, the girl who gets

minutes. Then the band slides into

other waltz, a highly appropriate and
suggestive air, selected on purpose as u
final warning to the young ladies, and
suddenly the drummer who has been
cycling the clock, seizes his drumsticks,
and loud rattle, rattle, bang, whir-r-r
resounds. 1t is like the crack of doom.
Every blessed little cadet takes his part
ner under his arm and makes dash for
the doorway. The young ladies, who
want to be escorted to their omnibuses,
are quick in getting on their wraps, and
in half an hour from the rolling OF the
drum the girls are trundled off and the
cadets are snug in bed. -NCW York Sun.
