on Thursday afternoon and evening, and
the visitors departed early Friday morning
with pleasant memories of the hospitality
of their brethren in this city.
Escorted by the Grand Conclayc of Della

clusion of its annual session to King street

Christiana to the Delaware and thence to
Fort Delaware. AT New Castle the party
landed, and, forming procession,
marched to the Jail, where the pillory and
whipping-post We're examined with much
curiosity by the strangers. While the
prisoners quarters were being inspected
the band played several selections, which
kindness was heartily appreciated by the
convicts. The boat did not stop at the
fort, but steamed around the island, thus
giving the oxcnrsionists an excellent view
of the decaying Notifications The sight
seekers saw many objects of interest along
the river and viewed with enthusiastic
admiration the pretty scenery OF the Della
ware shore. The boat returned AT g OF clock.

"oLLA PoDRIDAs REpEArED.
Preparations for an Extensive Church
Fair at the Wilmington Rink.


A union fair under the auspices of
Harrison Street NJ. Il. Church assisted by
the other Methodist churches Of the CITY,
will be held in the Wilmington rink at
Eleventh and Madison Streets commenc
ing May 23d, to be known as the second
annual "Olla Podrida." Those who were
fortunate enough to attend the first fair
held by the church in Institute Hall in
April of last year well remember how Il
mere handful of heroic women known as
the "Women Workers of Harrison Street
NJ. Il. Church planned and carried TO a
successful issue one of the most cleverly
conducted fairs ever held in this city.
The money thus earned gave the church
additional impetus and aided much in re-
lieving i from Il portion of its indebted
ness. The little frame chapel at Seventh
and Harrison streets is entirely inadequate
and must soon be removed in compliance
with law. The officers of the church are
therefore compelled to build before the
coming winter church which will be of
sufficient dimensions to accommodate
those knocking for admission to the edi-
flee. The membership of the church has
been doubled since last year. The menu
bers of the church think with the assist
ance of the other Methodist churches in
this city, the results will justify them in
building chapel.
Owing to the short time before the date
of opening, it was found necessary for the
Harrison Street people to go ahead with
the executive work of arranging for the
"Olla Podrida' only asking the various
churches to take charge of such booths as
they may select. A special feature will be
the entertainments and music to be given
each evening. and the decorations. which
are expected to elipse all former efforts.
A general congregational meeting with
representatives from the other churches
will be held next Tuesday evening, when
the booths will be assigned.
The price OF admission has been fixed at
10 cents for single and 80 cents for season
tickets for two weeks.

WHY SHOULD AMERICA IMPORT
HORSES!

If there is any country IN the
world that ought to be able to raise
all the horses needed, certainly the
United States is that country; but in
tho year 1888, GAIL horses were
imported into the United States, while
bat 1868 were exported, leaving US to
purchase that year the surplus, &C, 900.
The old tariff laid duty Of 20 per
cent. ed valorem on a valuation Of
s45 per head, equal to nearly $40;
hence Canadian and other horse
raisers could afford to pay 100000
in the form OF tariff tax for the pri>i-
leg" OF competing with American
breeders of horses. In order to pres
vent this competition in the future the
Mckinley bill proposes to have them
pay $50 psr head. Under the operation
OF the Mckinley bill the American
farmers or producers of horses will rot
only have the beneG, of the 100000
paid as duty, but Of tie 100000
paid in addition thereto, making in
all 100000 of an increase to the
American producer in one item alone
of the Mckinley bill.

HILL AND CLEVELAND.

Hill's convention has resulted in q
split in the Democratic ranks Of the
Empire State, and another convention
has been called to meet May 3lst, for
the purpose of elec.iug delegates to
the National Convention to be held
in Chicago. This will result in two
delegations, each claiming TO repre-
sent thu Simon-pure Democracy OF
New York.
Although the Hill delegation was
elected by disrepu.able trick, it will
undoubtedly be seated, as being the
first chosen, and this will practically
give Hill q walk over for the nomina.
ton.
Cleveland is therefore practically
out of the race. He may .possibl,
defeat Hills nomination; but thai
will be the most that he can do. lie
cannot get himself nominated.
But the split in New York is more
far reaching than this. Between Hill
and Cleveland, between Tammar,
and tho Mugwumps and better classes
of Democrats there exists Il chasn
so wide that it docs not seem posi-
ble that it can be bridget. l
was Tammany and Hill that de- feste,
Cleveland, aud the latter and hi
partisans may be depended upon to re
turn the compliment at the earliest op
portunity. Therefore, If Hill manage
to capture the nomination in spite G
Cleveland ana his supporters, he wi
no, be elected not unless he can i
without the Empire State.
At this distance and ut this time il
therefore, really seems as if bot
Cleveland aud Hill were practically on
Of the fght.
