Unable to Continue in the Field ANY
Longer, Owing to the Withdrawal of
Prominent Players.
Ameeting of members of the Delaware
Field Club football team was held Thurs.
day evening, at which the advisability of
abandoning for the season was discussed
There were some who expressed the belief
that the team would be able to eventually
play the games scheduled, but wiser heads
connseled against this sep and the only
apparent course to them was to disband at
ence. This action was taken at the meet
ing and the Field Club will not be able to
meet any of the teams scheduled.
The withdrawal from the team of many of
the best players, including Wharton, the
Morgan brothers, Wilson, Shortlidge, Con.
stable and others, made it almost impossible
for the team to gather sufficient strength to
play the game scheduled. The announce.
ment of the abandonment of the team will
be hailed with universal regret by lovers
of the sport who have witnessed MANY of
the exciting games between the Field Club
and other strong teams, but when it is
known that the club was sadly crippled
by number of absent players, the action
taken by the members Thursday will be
looked upon as the only proper course
under the circumstances.
The absence of Wharton is due to the
fact that he is permanent fixture on the
University eleven, while Wilson and Con.
stable have attached themselves to the
Warren Club,

Curtis Il. Burnham of Richmond, KY,
is one of the most successful lawyers IN
the blue grass section, but like many
other brilliant men is liable to make
mistakes. Some little time since Colonel
Burnham was employed in the
suit brought by the relatives of
rich Madison county farmer, who
alleged that he was crazy and should be
deprived of the control Of his property.
Some of the best lawyers in Richmond
were engaged on both sides, and the
trial attracted large crowd. When IL
was Colonel Burnham's turn to cross
examine tho defendant he very natur-
ally tried to make the poor fellow out
as predetermined as possible and asked
him questions calculated TO show that
he was mentally irresponsible.
"My good fellow" said the Colonel,
"tell me, do you know what Christmas
isY"
"Of course l do" retorted the man.
tits day when you give presents, !"
"Eery good" answered the lawyer,
blandly, nodding his head at the specta-
tors, "but why do we give presentsg
What do we commemorate on that
day2"
This proved puzzler for the defend
ant, who very eandidly replied that he
didn't know anything about it.
"Of course not, of course not" ex-
claimed Colonel Burnham triumphantly,
with knowing glance around the court
room. Here you are living in this en-.
lightened age, within sight and sound Of
dozens of churches, you have seen this
sacred festival celebrated year after year,
and yet you do not know that we OBJ
serve it in commemoration OF the cruel.
fixion of our Redeemer."
The outburst of laughter provoked by
this remark was so terrific that il was Il
long time before silence could be en-.
forced, or before Colonel Burnham
realized his break. The jury decided
Immediately afterward that the defend.
ant was sane and could not legally be
deprived of his property when man
whose brilliancy has never been ques-
toned was equally at sea when it came
to telling why Christmas was celebrated.

LOUISVILLE. Col, Oct 12.-Last night
the ground on which the coal mine is
startled from sleep by the cracking of the
walls of their houses. Many rushed out
to find the ground depressed two feet or
more in many places. It has been dis.
covered that the wells have gone dry, the
great cracks IN the earth allowing the
water to sink INTO mine workings. The
cause is due to the giving way of the props
in the worked.out coal districts. Ii this
continues much longer the entire town
will be rendered unfit for habitation.

A WlLMlNGTON-BUILT FLYER.



The Richard Peck, Built in This City,
Has Trial of Speed with tho Swift
Jersey Central Steamer Monmouth.
New York Herald, Saturday.
There was another race on the way
home that was not on the programme,
quite as exciting as the international
contest, though SO many persons were
not interested in it.
Richard Peck, of the Now Haven steam
boat line, beat the swift Puritan, of the
Fall River line, she has been pining for
q go" with the Monmouth, of the New
Jersey Central Railroad Company, one
of the fastest boats in the harbor.
Both the Peck and the Monmouth
went down to the previous contests fol
the Americas Cup, but yesterday after.
noon was the first time they were near
enough at the start for home to make a
race.
asked Captain Hardy, of the Peck,
on the way out if he intended to race
the Monmouth.
WOULDN'T sHIRK RACE.
"Well," said he, tive haven't come
out to race, but we always try to land
our passengers first after the finish, and
II the Monmouth happens to be near by
when we start for home we won't 90
out of our way to avoid her."
Superintendent Geraty denied that
there was any likelihood of race.
TITS all South street talk" said he.
When the Valkyrie crossed the line
the Monmouth was about half mile to
the right of the Peck-both headed for
the harbor The Monmouth got under
way first, and passing through the chan.
mel OF the lower bay had taken lead of
quarter of mile.
Are you going to try to catch her ?"
asked Captain Hardy.
You bet !" was the answer.
The Monmouth meantime was speed.
ing ahead at great rate, giving her
wash to the Peck, which chung pluckily
on.
You're not catching her." l said to
Mr.. Geraty.
NO" said he. awe can't here. We
draw 10 feet to the Monmouth's II, and
the water here is too shallow for us.
We cant do more than 81 miles an hour
here. Wait until we get into deep water
and you'll see a difference. We're
doing well here to hold her."
The Monmouth had, as a matter of
fact increased her lead to about 600
yards when half the run home was GOV.
ercd. From this point on, however, the
Peck began to pick up. Going through
the Narrows Mr.. Geraty told me she
was logging off close to 20 miles an
hour.
The passengers aboard the Peck were,
OF course, aware that race was on and
became excited. They crowded the bow
of the Peck, while the Monmouth's pas
sengers waved their handkerchiefs from
the stern of their boat.
Off Fort Wadsworth the Peck was
from $50 to 400 yards behind. Both
vessels were speeding along for all they
were worth. The rest of the excursion
fleet was far in the rear.
THE PECK GAINED.
The Peck continued to gain passing
through the upper bay, and when the
vessels split at the Battery, the Mon
mouth to go up the North river and the
Peck for her pier under the BROOKLYN
Bridge, the bow of the Peck had Just
reached the Monmouth's stern.
Captain Hardy, superintendent Geraty
and Designer Watson seemed well
pleased with the race. All said il was
impossible to pass the Monmouth in
shoal water, but they could do it in
deep.
