Harvest Thanksgiving Service.

Special Correspcndence OF Gazette and journal
DELAWARE CRY, Oct. 3.--.rhe annual
harvest thanksgiving service was held in
Christ Church last evening, large con
sresatlon being present. The services were
semi-chorAl, were very devotional and
revcrential The rector preached from the
text, Let MS now fear the Lord our God,
that givcth rain, both the former and the
latter in his season. He reservoir unto us
the appuinteth weeks of the harvest. "
jeremiah VI, "A. At the close Of the ser
vice the rector stated that that was the
third annual harvest service that had been
held in the church. and he trusted that the
beautiful custom would never be departed
from, but that each year would see the
same or similar congregation OF Worship
pers gathered in this huusepf prayer to re-
turn thanks TO the Lord Of harvest for the
return of sccd-time and harvest, and for
blessing the increase Of the ground, The
church was appropriately trimmed and
decorated with grain, vegetables and fruits.
On the front of the chancel stood shcaf
Of wheat, supported by II large cornucupia
from which poured IL stream of fruit and
vegetables, whilst thanking the changcl on
either side was pyramid Of vegetables.
SnrmOunted with stalks of corn ON the
altar were placed flowers OF pureSt white,
which at night, illuminated by the
lighted candles gave a chastr appearance
to The sanctuary. Flowers there were in
abundance, each window being decorated
with Il handsome bouquet, whilst about
the cancel they abouuded. The derura-
tons attracted large number of people al

The Warren Athletic Club and the
Wilmington Wheel Club have every
reason for qualification over the success
full record Of Friday afternoons great
bicycle tournament at Hazel Dell.
There were some surprises and disap-
continents in the result. But this of
course is always incidental to a meeting
of the kind.
The attendance numbered 1900, quite
large share of whom were ladies. The
weather was perfect. Altogether it was
as pleasant an afternoons enjoyment as
the public has experienced this season.
The track was in fair condition but,
as bicyclers say, was lumpy at the pole.
The pole is the inner track fence.
The time was slow compared to what
is accomplished at first class meets. The
fastest riding, outside of the tandem
race, was in the two handicaps.
The crack riders Zimmerman, Tayis
and Hess would not ride in the handi.
caps, saving themselves for scratch
events.
Champion Zimmerman won all the
open events with great ease. Taxis and
Hess were apparently unable to drive
him. The reason of slow time in omen
the racers held off for a squirt at the last
quarter mile.
One of the surprising results, and one
extremely gratifying to the grand spect-
tators was McDaniels remarkable squirt
In the half-mile handicap when he
closed in on the leader j. M. Wilbour,
only losing the race by the length of
quarter of wheel.
A DAsTARDLY ACT.
In the 25-mile handicap road race
Lee Hanley was the victim of most
dastardly act. He was in his four
teenth mile and behind the leader,
Lancaster, when just at Rogers
turn, on the New Castle road, he ran
into mass of S.oz. tacks thrown along
the roadway. He did not discover the
cause of his break down until finding
the tacks stuck in his collapsed pneu.
matte tire glance on the roadway be-
hind him explained the rascally act Just
committed. 1t is not known who the
perpetrator is. 1t is believed, however,
that some clue may be obtained before
long. This of course threw Hanley out
of the race and was almost fatal to Jack
who was close to him.
In the eleventh event, the one mile
andem handicap Zimmerman and Taxis
made the fastest time of the Hazel Dell
rack, Pm. 30s. Bilyen and Donnelly
got 100 yards and Pyle and Booth 200
I yards handicap on the crack team.
!! As the tandem racers started nothing
/, could be prettier in bicyclist eyes than
to see the machine-like rhythmic motion
of the champion pair as they moved off
at pistol shot. 1t was the race of the
day. "Look at them a-coming!" was
the exclamation. The first half was
passed in 1.12. Taxis with his head
down and the pair flying along as il
they were riding behind Nancy Hanks.
They had caughtup to the other tandems
at the mile. The rest was easy work.
The tenth event, the one mile, 2.35
class, was run, but as the result,
BOT 1.5, showed that race did not come
within the time limit, 300, the referee
declared it no race. This decision was
received with yells of applause from
the grand stand. 1t was only too APP.
parent throughout the race that the con.
testants showed tacIt agreement for
work only at the closing squirt
The summary is as follows:
