The Great Kite Track.

Ali the arrangements for the grand
inaugural opening of The Great Kite
Track at Kirkwood, Delaware, on the
Fourth of July, have been completed.
THa grand stand whic has just been
completed, aud which has a seating capa
city of over 1000, is one OF the most
imposing structures ever seen on race
track l. IS butt OF very heavy timbers
and with i. view to the safety and con
| vtnience of the public. The stand is SO
situated that every one of its 1000 occu-
pants have clear view of the entire
| track ana the horses can be distinctly
seen at every point of the mile. Rows of
handsome box stalls, which will accom-
MEDIATE 100 horses have also just been
com pleted, aud The Great Kite Track"
and it's surroundings represent as per-
fectly an equipped race course as any in
the country.
Il is believed that there will be an
immense crowd present Oh the opening
day. The Pennsylvania Railroad Com
piny with their proverbial enterprise,
have made the rates of fare, including
admission to the track, very tempting.
In fact the rates at which they will carry
people to the track on the Forth of July
are unprecedented in the history of the
road. From Wilmington the round trip
ticket, including admission to the track,
is only seventy, five cents, while the
regular everyday return ticket is eighty
cents, SO that, allowing the fifty cent
admission to the track the actual cost of
{. return ticket from Wilmington to Kirk
wood on the Fourth of jury will be only
4 quarter of i dollar. The Same compare
tive reduction will DO mada for round
trip tickets from New Castle, which will
be Only sixty ceuts, virtually making the
round trip ticket but ter cents. From
Middletown round trip tickets including
admission to the track, will be sold for !.
halt dollar, watch is the price of the
everyday refund trip ticket. Thus the
people will be actually carried from
Middletown to kirkwood and back home
again Oh tle Fourth of July for nothing
The round trip ticket from Elkton
including admission to the track is only
81.
Correspondingly low rates prevail
from all the principal stations along the
road down through the State OF Della.
ware The Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany has made provision for hundreds
Of extra cars to carry the people to the
track on the Fourth Of July. They have
also made numerous improvements about
the station at KirliwGod. intending the
lengtheuing of the platforms or both
sides Of the TRACK to mere than twice
their former length. General Superin-
tendort kenney, r. l.. Holiday, Mr..
George w. Boyd aud MI. d. G. Walsh,
of tie company have done everything in
their power looking to the convenience
of the public
The Fonrta of July will be great day
at kirkwood, the greatest day ever
known in the history of the race track in
the State of Delaware. In case of rain
the entire programme will be carried out
the first fair day.

Can Cleveland be Elected 1892?

MIR. EDITOR.
As the nominations are out. and the
nags who have been selected by the two
great parties for the great Presidential
sweepstakes to come off in November
next have received the word go" it
remains to be seen which one will land
the winner. It seems to be generally
accepted fact that for the Democratic
nag to get there (while trained and
groomed by mugwumps OF DemOcrats.)
he must have the vote of the Empire
State. Hence read what the duly accedted
representatives of the Democratic party
of that state have SAID on the subject.
Rooms of the New Yorl. de legation.
CHICAGO, June 20, 1892.
In reply to inquiries from States in
structed to vote for Mr.. Grover Cleve-
land of New York, the delegates from
the State of New York, with deep
sense of responsibility to tho Democracy
of the United States, are constrained to
make answer that in our best judgment
Mr.. Cleveland's nomination will imperil
the success of the party and will expose
it to the loss of the electoral vote of this
state. Signed by the seventy two dele
gates of the Democratic Party from the
State of New York.
Every man of the seventy two sgners
of this most extraordinary protest and
warning is a Democrat.
