Cyclists Merrihew, Elliott, Leonard
Pyle Booth and Courtney, represent
ing the Wilmington Wheel Club won
the twenty one mile road race from
the South End Wheelmen Of Philadei-
phia. Saturday. Marriott, Dampman,
Wilson, Paradise and WenZel were the
Philadelphia riders.
The course was from this city to
Darby and over the Philadelphia turn
pike. The start was made ut S.33
o'clock from the north en- OF the
Brandywine bridge. Pyle assumed
the lead after starting and set the
pace, Merrihew, Elliott aud Booth
following in group. Dampman rode
last with the evident intention of
coaching any struggling member OF
his team.
There was but little change un til the
party reached Penny Hill, where more
than one has come to grief In the past.
The hill Is n steady and hard upward
grade for almost mile. starting at
Shellpot Creek, and 1t proved TO lbe the
stumbling block to the struggling
Quaker bows. Theylost the race right on
the hill. Merrlhew, Elliott Booth and
Pyle struggled up tho hill together.
and when they reached the top the
Philadelphlans were scattered along
the hill at varying distances from the
apex. and with the exception oil Mar
riott were already hopelessly beaten.
The four Wilmington men then al.
ternated In making pace for the entire
balance OF the ride. Marriott. who Ia
the best road rider In philadelphia be-.
gan to close up the gap as they ap-
preached Chester, and when they had
reached the heart of TINT city, he was
only about block behind. Ono OF
his pedals then became loose, and, al
though Mcdaniel lent him his wheel,
he also was hopelessly beaten, and the
Wilmington quartet trlumpbantly con
tinued its ride to finish, undis
turbed by any nightmare OF pursuers
They took things com paratively easy
from Chester to the toll gate at Darby
which was the finishing point although
they did not perceptibly lessen theil
speed.
The finish was made at 4.39, "a hav
ing made the run in hour. O minutes
and 81 seconds. Marriott. on his Dor
rowed wheel, finished 81 seconds lat
ter. Courtney, Wenzel, DampmaI
Paradise and vii son finished in order
: The prize for which they struggle
was IN erely nominal. the losers agree
ing to furnish sl5 trophy to tn
winners.

Last Saturday n reporter OF the RE-
PUBLICAN was presented with q beauti-
full young alligator. about two feet in
length. The donor warranted him
kind and gentle. and after he was
placed in a box his new owner started
for the nearest corner to wait for
street car. Happening to look around
he saw his alligatorship climbing out
of his box, but when the happy %
possessor undertook to gently place
him back In the box. he opened a
mouth big enough to swallow mans
fist and Kissed In threatening man
ner. He was finally gently persuaded,
with the assistance OF good sized
stick and the toe OF boot, to resume
his place. At last the savage reptile
was landed at home and deposited in
| place of safety where he has facili.
ties for enjoying bath and plenty to
eat. He has already developed a very
affectionate disposition, and shows an
| intense desire to taste every one that
comes near, no doubt for the purpose
Of seeing ii he likes them. His royal
| higbness will remain in his new and
commodious quarters during the
warm weather. and then will probably
change his abode to the Zoo, where he
can be properly cared for during the
winter month";.

George Morris. the aged colored
man who killed his mistress, Ella Ford,
was on Saturday sentenced, in the
Camden county court. to twenty years
at hard labor in State Prison by Jus
tice Garrison. This is the extreme
penalty for murder in the second de-
gree, and it is hardly likely that the
prisonerwill outliye the sentence. which
will expire, with tho usual allowance
for good behavior, In September, 1910
Morris is now 5l-years old. Tho pris-
oner and the dead woman formerly re-
sided here. Before the sentence Nor.
ris' counsel made strong plea for
| eieInency on the ground thaE the
crime had not been premeditated.

Dlesterday WAS the 1oxth anniversary
Of the Old Swedes Church, and y was
by Ali-day services.
BY Rev. H. Ashton Henry. OF Trinity
Church, assisted by Rev. William
Morrison, OF New York, and Rev. Mar
tin B. Dunlap. rector of.the old church.
The church was beautifully decorated
with flowers and the church was
crowded.
The floral decorations were very
handsome about the chancel and altar.
Along and rising from the chancel rail
were three floral arches composed
mainly OF field daisies, the central one
being surmounted by a cross. The
baptismal font was filled by d large
bouquet OF white blossoms, and the
altar was decorated with potted plants
and cut flowers. Each of.the windows
were decorated with bouquets covering
the wide old.fashioned windowsilis.
With these bright decorations. the gas
lighted and the church filled with an
Interested and devout congregation.
Old Swedes was beautitied and venera-
BILE.
Rev. Mr.. Morrison preached the
sermon at 1880 o'clock. II was from
Kings VIII 27-57: "Will God indeed
dwell on earthY The Lord our God
be with US a. he was with our Fathers"
He said: ''Worship 10 an instinct OF
human nature and our necessities as
human beings, as well as the BILE ssings
We enjoy. require that We worship
God not as individuals but In COM
panies. We see this Idea brought out
over q million had but one taber n acle,

'The first place OF worship, called

was reared by Moses. In course OF
time the temple was erected and dedi
Gated with sacrifices and with cere
monies to tho worship of God. 1t was
on the occasion OF the dedication OF
tho temple that Solomon asked: Will
God indeed dwell on earth
"rhat Christ was God manifest in the
flesh we believe. For more than two
centuries this church has been witness
to this great faith OF our religion. BY
her presence here she was protected
against those creeds which would
make our Lord the blossom OF perfect
manhood, or would regard him Bs O
created being. She believes that
Christ was God, and 80 she holds that
God has dwelt upon earth in the per
son OF the Messiah.
When we think OF the immensely
transcendance ard holiness OF Goo
1t Is difficult to believe that he will
dwell on earth. but we are assured
that He does dwell here by two facts
the advent OF Christ and the presence
, of God in His church.
''fhe presence of God In His church
God has proved His gracious presence
to His church ana we have seen that
presence manifested here these man,
years In the results produced for thu
advancement of the kingdom. W.
have grown and developed in THU
place. For more than two centuries
we have felt the presence OF Coz
amongst us.
what then should be our attitude
to-day? 1t should be marked by graft
tude and thanksgiving. And the praye
OF every heart which has grown vi
within these walls or whose dead b
buried here should be: The Lord, oul
God, be with us as He was with gu

After and before the sermon of tn
evening Mrs. Pyle was the eoloist
William II. Ewing was director AM

Or course the members OF the Della.
ware National Guard in Wilmington
will feel under the greatest obliga-
tions to vote for the party next Satur-
day that disbanded them by refusing
to make them even the smallest ap.
preparation to assist them in keeping
up their organization. Tho Demo-
cratic party does not like soldiers, 1t
never did, especially II they wore the
blue.
Even away back in 1868 the Demo.
cratic Legislature defeated bill to
give relief to the wives ana orphans Of
soldiers. More than that, when u reso.
luton was offered TO hoist the Nation
q flag upon the State House, the reso-
luton was defeated.
1t could hardly be expected that such
D party could have enough love even
OF the Delaware State soldiers to keep
them organized. Besides. If they hat
made an appropriation for the loea
soldiery, they could not lave made al
addition to John L. Dickey's salary o
ono thousand dollars. Still there are
no doubt, a number OF these soldier
who will vote the Democratic ticke
next Saturday. They should stop AM
think before they act.

ment was tending 10 disruption
through Sabbath dissertation and de-
fiance to Gods commands. and the
holding OF few more Worlds Fairsn
will hasten its decadence.
The people of Chicago were worldly
wise but spiritually blind, and their
effort to acquire greater gains through
Sabbath dissertation would prove q
serious blunder. The working people
should zealnusly guard the sanctlty
OF the Sabbath. as In all countries
where 1t had been violated they were
the greatest sufferers and for them
there was no compansatlng bepeiit in
this life, much less In the one to come.
He said the lecture was free and the

Star yesterday could have gone much
further and still have been perfectly
truthful. If he had told tho people that
abe noted policy gamblers, Sewoll
Whitlock and "Chick" came out of
Jail ON the 18th of May with Gov. Roy
nolds' pardon in their pockets. The
time for which they were sentenced
would not have expired until to-day,
the 10th Instant VIM Morris and A.
J. Horsey, the two eolUred gamblers
sentenced at the same time. and for
the same term, will come out OF jail
to-day without pardons.
Foy and WhltIocK were wanted to
help the Democrats through in next
Saturdays election. There have been
no arrests OF gamblers for month
EAST, and Of course there will be none
until after the election is over. 1t is
reported that a deal with the new po-
lice force was made to that effect, but
We trust the report is ill.iounded.
