WANAMAKER'S



The first week of the SEP
kem6ey Limited Sale has gone.
1t has been a success.
Like a good book Of music
al composition, each wise bus
mess scheme has a motive.
The motive Of this sale is to
make good business better.
We are asked is business dull?
Why bless you, no. August
sales were phenomenally large.
We've told you that before.
To continue the outflow Of
goods, Bargains have been
sought and brought, sometimes
from our own stocks, some
times from others, but brought
they have been. And trade
has kept its course with a rush
and stocks have been cleared
out thoroughly.
Remember the Blankets.
Never such a Blanket story as
that we told you last week.
Remember the Linens. They
are now at the counters.
Remember the Parlor Suites
and the Bedroom Suites.
Money in them yet for Jon but
not for us.

FAIR NOTES.

The 3-minute race last Saturday at
the Wilmington Fair was the best of
the week as it was very close between
Clark Pettit's Fannie H. and the bay
gelding Sam Weber, of Reading. Sam
won the first two heats but Fannie III.
won the next three, the last by only a
half a neck. Judge Smith said it was
worth coming a thousand miles to see.
The track was in bad condition because
of the rain the previous night. The
best time made Was 2.34a in the last
heat.
The 1-mile milk wagon race was
amusing. Each driver had to load his
cans, drive a mile and unload them.
The steeple chase race in which rum
ming horses had to jump over fences and
bitches was very exciting.
The black horse fremont, raised by
VIM. G. Summerill, now owned at
Gloucester City Stock Farm, trotted in
the 2.37 race on Friday and won third
money.
There were SO, 900 in attendance at the
Fair during last week 1900 on Mon
day, G,000 on Tuesday, 10,0o0 on We'd
nes1ay, 81 5000 on Thursday, 6,00O on
Friday, and 5000 on Saturday.

Fish Warden Lawrence has handed
in his report to the State Fish Commis-
sion. The following points of interest
we have Cleaned from it.
This district extends from Oldman's
Creek to Pennsville. There are l40
gill nets fshed by residents and SO by
n0n-residents in this district. Their
average length is put at 400 fathoms
each, making 10000 faihoms in all.
The number Of men employed was $50,
and the number OF shad caught 500
or an average of 5000 to a net.
The size of the shad caught last
spring was unexcelled. While the
catch is estimated to be o~ne.fourth
larger than last year the average price
was much lower the average price be-
ing So per hundred, which makes
the aggregate value of shad caught in
this district S51 900.
There were three shore nets in this
district. The one at Lawrence's fish.
cry used 200 fathoms and employed s
men; at Carney's Point 300 fathoms,
IL men and a horse; at Church Land
ing 200 fathoms and & men.
He was unable To get the number of
shad caught by shore nets.

ANIMALS AT PLAY.

dow Small and Large Birds, JaEuars ana
Cougars Amuso Themselves.
Small birds chase each other about
In play; but perhaps the conduct OF
the crane and the trumpeter is the most
extraordinary. The latter stands on
one leg. hops about in the most eccen-
trio manner. and throws somersaults.
Some call it the mad bird. on account
of these singularities. Water birds,
such as ducks and geese, dive after
each other, and clear the surface of
the wator with outstretchcd neck and
tapping wings. throwing abundant
spray around. Deer often engage in a
sham battle, or trial of strength, by
twisting thcir horns together and push
ing for the mastery. All animals pre-
tending violence in their play stop
short of exercising it; the dog takes
the greatest preCaution not to injure
by his bite; and the ouraug-outang, in
wrestling with his keeper, pretends to
throw him, and makes feints of biting
him. Some animals carry out in their
play the semblance of catching their
prey; young cats, for instance, leap after
every small and moving object, even
to the leaves strewn by the autumn
wind; they crouch and steal forward,
ready for the spring, the body CULVER
ing, and the tail vibrating with emo
ton, they bound on the moving leaf
and again spring forward to another.
Benger saw young jaGuars and cougars
playing with round substances. like
kittens. Birds Of the magpie kind arc
the analogucs OF monkeys; full of mis-
chief, play and mimicry. There is
story of 4 tamo magpie, that was seen
busily employed in Il garden, gather
ing pebbles. and with much solcmnity
and Il studied air, burying thom in q
hole made to receive a post. After
dropping each stone, it cried eur
raclI?' triumphantly, and set off for
another. On examining the spot. q
poor toad was found in the hole, which
the magpie was stoning for his amuse-
ment-N. Y. Ledger.
