Mayor Rhoads Good Work.

Mayor Rhoads seems practically in earnest
in his prosecution of the policy men.
His course is as extremely gratifying to all
right thinking people as it is an evidence to
the citizens of Wilmington that our chief
magistrate esteems clean and morally
heightened civic record no mean attribute of
city.
This is the proper public platform to stand
upon.
Mr.. Rhoads has shown on more than one
occasion since his incumbency of the mayor
ally the peculiar ability of apprehending a
definite point and following it in bee line.
In these days of indiscriminate fault find
ing and inq1sitorial Judgment of public Off

tice to make definite knowledgment of

Opera House improvements.

Manager Baylis expects to be ready for
opening by September 11th.
There is a great deal Of work to be done
yet. But glance in at the doorway shows
remarkable changes and Improvements. The
whole lower floor including the palquette
and dress circle seems to be thrown nearer
the stage, while the latter irself has been
added depth and greater expanse.
Large Gainsborough hats worn by the la
dies in the chairs will no longer be cause for
umbage or silent anathematization from
neghbors in the Immediate rear of those
rich vclvety monstrosities. The gradual
slope Of the parquette floor as newly laid
down will prevent the total eclipse of stage
Venuses, as heretofore, by the exaggerated
fashion of feminine head gear.
The scenic artist of the Chestnut Street
Opera House Philadelphia, Mr.. r. P. Farren
has the scene painting for the Grand Opera
House in hand and is making good progress.
What with handsome new scenery, white
pink and gold balconies red plush and vel
vet seatings we shall have as Bijou theatre
as any city in the country.
The old seats are being rapidly disposed
of, 200 were sent out to Rosendale park

The Fire Department.

Our Fire Department is to be congratula-
ted upon its effective work Thursday evening
last at the conaagration at Traynor's Sta
bles.
Considering the difficulties in the way of
effective work in such populous centre of
the city as Fifth and Shpley streets the few
moments of delay are readily explained.
Whatever confusicc transpired is attribu-
table to the excessive crowding Of the streets
by the citizens which impeded the work of
tha firemen.

A MOB.
A HOwling Mob.


If wilder or more demoniacal mob were
ever turned loose upon the Capitol of Della
ware than that of Tuesday, Hast, the fact
remains unrecorded. The moment the doors
of the hall werS opened an irrepressible mob
took charge, and mob force was the Alpha
and the Omega of last Tuesdays proc eedings
of the Democratic State Convention.
Robert II. Davis of Sussex, was made
temporary and afterward permanent Chair
man Of the Convention. In the earliest
stages of the convention it was conspicuous s.
ly apparent that there WAS pre-arranged
determination on the part of the Biggs Her
bert followers to hound Mr.. Cochran out of
the convention and their efforts were ably
seconded by Chairman Davis.
Chairman Davis was SO solicitous of the
interests Of those who placed him in position
that he did not venture to pnt motion be-
fore retiring to the ante-room to consult
those in waiting to decide just what bearing
said motion would have upon Mr.. Cochran's
candidacy, and if there was a possibility of
the motion being construed in Mr.. Cochrau's
favor it was peremptorily declared out of
crder
Although Chairman Davis is somewhat ad-
yanced in years, yet he most nimbly ''caught
on the idea" for the purpose Of which
he was appointed presiding officer.
The convention was organized wholly and
solely upon an anti-administraton basis The
committee on credentials were appointed for
the purpose of unseating enough delegates
in Wilmington to overcome Cochran's ma
iority and the yelling and bowling which
greeted the report of the committee indca-
ted that it had fully appreciated its mission,
by rejecting the entire contested Cochran
delegation. As fair sample of the work of
the committee ON contested delegations we
will cite the following case, Before us is a
statement from an inspector which explicitly
states that although his ward gave an hon
est decisive majority for Mr.. Cochran yet he
was approached by the anti-administration-
lists who by caiolery, by promises of official
preferment ard by direct bribery sought to
induce him to give a certificate of election
to the delegate not elected aud when the
crowd of "anything to beat Cochran" found
that neither caiolery nor direct or indirect
bribery would prevail then personal violence
was threatened yet their contestant who
begged and implored the inspector for a false
certificate of election was granted his seat
by the committee on credentials. We sim
ply state facts in thus referring to the auda.
cious aud high handed manner in which hon
est public sentiment was overridden at the
Democratic State Convention.

DEL, SATURDAY, AUGUST 21, 1885,

tance. Of 6, $50 tons displacement, with SINH
lar disposition of armor, commenced at the
time. In 1861, following upon the four
ships just mentioned, England undertook
the construction of not less than eleven iron
clads, representing -four different types-the
Achilles, $500 tens displacement, armored
along the whole length with 4i inch plates
then the Minotaur, the Northumberland, aud
the Agincourt of 10,50O tons displacement,
similar to the Achilles, except that the ar
NOR was 81 l-inches thickness amidships, tap
ering to 3.inches at the extremites. The
vessels Of the fourth. type, the Hector and
the Valiant, have proved more serviceable
than the others, being smaller, more man
ageable, and much more economical they
were armored throughout the whole length
with 4l.inch plates, the protection being on
ly above the water line at the bow and stern.
The Magenta and the Solferino, laid down
two years after the Gloire, formed part of the
first group of French ironclads. The second
group consisted of ten vessels of the Provence
or Flandre class. The displacement was
slightly augmented, but the protection was
increased to G-inches of armor.
Thus, from the preceding, we see that for
two years before our civil war European
powers were fully committed to building
battle-ships with armored bruadsdes, and
before the occurrence of any naval battle in
the United States several of these vessels
were allOat.

To-day's Yacht Races.

T, day there will be repetition Of the ex-
citing times of last year when the Priscilla
and Puritan sailed the trial races to ascertain
which American yacht should compete with
the Genesta for the American Cup.
The Puritan, Mayflower, Priscilla and At
lantic commence their trial races to-day to
see which is the best sailer, in order that a
selection may be made to race against the
English cutter Galatea which has challenged
America for the cup this season.
We all hope that the visitor, gallant yacht
as it is, may not be victorious and also that
her vanquisher may be the Wilmiugton-bu built
Priscilla.

GILBRETH KNOX.
From the American Cultivator.

!
Gilbreth Knox has proved himself, so
far, the most successful descendant of
Gen. Knox as sire of fast trOtters. For
this reason the breeding and character
istics of his dam are matters of unusual
interest to students of the breeding prob
lem. The most intelligent and satisfac-
tory description of the mare which
brought this speedy trotter and success
full trotting sire comes from the we'll
known hOrseman Hiram Reed of Au-
gusta, who is familiar with all the noted
speed producing sires of Maine, from old
Winthrop Messenger, which he had the
care of the season Maine Bush Messenger
was got, to the present time, and can I'M
dOubtedly give clearer description from
personal observation of the form, gait
and characteristics of all the different
trotting families that ever existed in
Maine than any other man living.
The first knowledge Mr.. Reed had of
this mare she was brought to Augusta,
Me-, by Mr.. Cahill, a contractor on the
Somerset Railroad, from Augusta to
Skowhegan, who used her in his business,
travelling between those points. Mr.
Cahill stated to Mr.. Reed that he bought
the mare from ii sale stable i'll Boston,
where she had come in drove of horses
! brought by dealer from the vicinity of
i Vermont. She was dapplc brown with
locked tail, and of the genuine old-fash-
Toned Morgan pattern in form, stood
about II 2, and weighed in the vicinity
of 1925 pounds. She was never trained
or driven for speed while owned nj Au-
gusta, but was noted for her superior
road qualities, fine style and great en-
durance. The average time of her trips
"a, N
hour and twenty to an hour and thirty
minutes, her natural road gait being
about ten miles an hour. She was an
upheaded animal, even without check
rein, was always spirited, needed no
whip, and possessed wonderful amount
of nerve force.
Mr.. Cahill sold this mare to Cyrus
Guild of Augusta, who bred at least
three fOals from her, two of which pos
sessed no special merit; one of these was
by the Lewis Horse, known as Young
Indian Chief. Mr.. Guild bred her once
to Gen. Knox, and the produce was a
colt now known as Gilbreth Knox, which
he kept until two years old and sold to
Hiram Gilbreth O.. II. Gilbreth) of Fair
field for $500. Mr.. Gilbreth kept the colt
developed his speed, won several races
with him, and gave him record OF
, :26 "a in the second heat of a race al
Narragaansett Park, X. l., Oct. I, 1869.
Mr.. Gilbreth afterward died. and Gil
breth Knox passed into the hands OF
Arioch Wentworth, Boston, by whom he
was owned at the time of the horses
death, which occurred at Beacon Park
July, 1874. Mr.. Reed is confident tina
the Cahill Mare, which brought Gilbretf
Knox, was of Morgan descent, as she
possessed the distinguishing characters
ties of the Morgan family in marked
degree.

borse Department.

The Niddlebury REGISTER now for more
than year has been giving much original
and valuable information upon Morgan and
other celebrated horses. 1t intend. to con.
tinue publishing such information from week
TO week, giving at least page TO its Horse
Department. when sufficient material has
accumulated we expect to place it in book
form, publishing first our volume upon
the Morgan Horse, and afterwards a Reg
lister of the more distinguished sires and
performers In the latter we hope to include
all 80 performers, with their breeding, SO far
as can be ascertained; also to distinguish be
tween things that are known and things that
are not known, in every pedigree. In all cas-
&c the evidence upon which the pedigrees are
based will be given TO the public through the
columns of THE MIDDLEBURY REGISTER. This
we are satisfied, is what the public wants and
ought to have. Many judgments are better
than one.
THB REGISTER by reason of this extensive
information and this method of giving 1t, Is
rapidly becoming indispensable to all breed
ers and horsemen. 1t should also be an eX
cellent medium tor advertisers, especially
those dealing i'm Morgan horses.

A good number of jokes are being poked at

are not copying any Of them.-Detroit Free

When the earthquake came the other night
more than 10000 women in Georgia were con-
WINGED that they had discovered a man under
the bed. Macon Telegraph
The jury in the Gilbert Davis case were in
their room at the court house unable to agree,
and. it is said, there was no probability Of
their arriving at verdict. After the earth
quake was over however they agreed in
about three minutes. Eastman Ca Times
The idea of naming a little girl baby
Earthquakeana just because she was born in
Charleston two or three hours before the
shaking up is simply horrible. The poor in

didn't cause the earthquake, and there Is no
sense in tying it to her, and making her drag

MORGANS AL HE HEAD.

Mr.. w. r. Chester gives in the last

winners of three or more races the past
season, and in his Introduction says:
"The honor of winning the greatest num-
Der of races, 16, belongs to Rex, by
Earthquake, which is all right, as this
has been an earthquake year, and Rex is
the king of the Earthquakes. Singularly
enough, the second largest winner, Little
Dick. is in the same stable with Rex"
These horses are both Vermont Morgans,

a son of North Hawk by Sherman Black
Hawk, son of Vermont Black Hawk, and
Little Dick being by IIolabrd's Ethan
Allen, an inbred Morgan, sou of Ethan

more significant when we consider that
not more than one in ten of the trotterS
on the turf the past season were Morgans
in the male line. Rex has a record OF

ANSWER.

About the mare having poke marks
about her neck and being breechy. 1t
would not take long for starvation to
make her breechy and for poke to make
marks on her neck. After | got her she
had plenty to eat and had kind treat
ment, so she had no fear of being hurt
or abused in any way. What took place
with her before got her and after let
her go l am not able to say. Old man
Wallace was poor man; probably he
starved her badly and made a jumper of
her and perhaps she had the same treat
ment before got her.
