PEACH "BUzzARDs."
How They Operate at BridgeviIle--strug-
CLING to Get FUN Carloads.

but peaches. Nothing is seen but peaches,
with peaches everywhere. And why
shouldn't this be the sole theme, with
Bridgeville shipping 10000 baskets of
peaches each day; without trace of the
yellows in this locality and no premature
fruit the people of course are compelled TO
talk and think peaches.
In a visit to the railroad station, yester-
day morning, one would have witnessed
scene Of unusual interest and activity not
seen since I'VE olden times, when Bridge
vile had another full crop. Stretched along
at distance of 800 or 400 yards were
wagons after wagons. all loaded down
with peaches. All the owners were anxious
and willing to deprive themselves of this
load only to return to the orchard to refill
with the fruit awaiting.
Walking beside this long line of fruit,
and perched upon the wheels of the
wagon, were the buyer and the solicitor,
or Hbuzzard" as he is termed, the word
being very appropriate as the scene of
these "bizzards" perched and lowering
over load of peaches, is but reminder
of the real buzzard perched on nearby
fence over the carcass or some animal.
While the buyer is naming his price, the
"buzzard" is soliciting, anxious to fill his

north of Philadelphia unless 1t is entirely
full, without the full car losd rate is paid.
Often when only few baskets are lacking
to load car, with the supply very limited,
large sums are paid to secure the desired
fruit and Ill the car.
In the long line yesterday there were
noticed not only the growers Of the imme-
diate vicinity, but within radius Of 20
miles, from Georgetown, SeafoEA, Fed
eralsburg, and even Denton and Preston,
all anxious 70 have their fruit shipped
from the Mecca" Of the Delaware rail-
road.
During the rush and clamor a man COM
ing up with team was entirely unaware
of d fast approaching train and drove d.
rectly IN front of 1t, only the shrill report
of the whistle probably saved the mans
life as well as the destruction of his team.
To avoid such accident the railroad COM
pany have placed William G. Robinson
there as fiagmap.
Pattin's large grist and saw mill was dis
covered to be on fire, yesterday, but the
flames were soon extinguished with slight
loss.

KENT COUNTY PEACH TRADE.
CHEsTERTowN, Nd, Aug. THE
peach season in Kent was opened to-
day, and Chester river las been alive
with steamers independent of the regu-
pany. The peach sections of the Chess
ter river side Of the county are being
touched by the Corsica and Gratitude,
OF the Chester River Line, and H. l..
Cav, of the Philadelphia Line, giving
the Chester river growers the advantage
of an additional Philadelphia market
heretofore untouched by water routes
from Chester river. The large sea- going
tug of the Thompson Line, with vessels
in tow, and the tug Canton with vessels
in tow, are in the river collecting fruit
The shipments, however, will not be as
heavy as was expected, the fruit not
ripening up as rapidly as growers ex.
pected. Within the next few days
rroths and other peaches Of the fine
varieties will be fully in.

WORLDS F4IR LADY MANAGERS.
Discussion Caused by Mrs, Meredith's At
tempt to Reply to Mrs. Ball.


CHICAGO, Aug. s.-The Board of
Lady Managers of the Worlds Fair
wrangled for four hours Monday after
noon, and when the meeting adjourned
the report of Mrs. Meredith, which was
the cause OF all the trouble, was still
before the body. There were tears,
Kisses, stamping and other indications
of disapprobation. AS soon as the
meeting was called to order there was
desire expressed that Mrs. Nancy Hous-
ton Banks of Kentucky, explainThow a
certain deposition madeby Mrs. Ball of
Delaware, secretary Of the committee,
came to be published. The deposition
was. in an awards support of Mrs. Gun.
ningham's charges that Mrs. Meredith,
chairman of the committee, had acted
with "malice."
This brought forth great deal OF
feminine oratory, but Mrs. Banks
finally explained that the first she knew
of the publication of the deposition was
when she saw members of the press
with typewriter copies, and she at once
notified officers of the board. Mrs.
Meredith then made report, included
in which was the information that every
member of the committee had signed q
letter addressed to Mrs. Palmer asking
that Mrs. Ball be excused from further
service on the committee.
None of the many propositions made
met with the appreciation of sufficient
number of members to insure adoption,
and the board finally adjourned in a
very ruffied frame of mind, leaving the
matter unsettled.

THE AntrL.s rIoroRr.
A wilmIugton-built boat Wins $1,000
Silver Cup.

In the race of the New Y ork Yacht Club,
which took place Monday at Glen Cove,
L. l., the schooner yacht Ariel, which
was recently built by the Harlan d
Hollingsworth Company for George h.
B. Hill of New York, was one of the
winners. The yachts did not race in
classes according to their size, but were
divided into two, scho0ners and sloops,
according to their rig.
The New York Tribune says: "After
the Vigilant was disabled and drew out,
the interest centred in the sailing of the
Colonia and the English centreboard
Queen Nab, and in a most exciting con-
test in the schooner class between the
Alcaca, Ariel and Lasca." THE Ariel,
the Tribune adds, showed that in her
A. Gary Smith, her designer, has turned
out a remarkably fast schooner"
The New York Sun says: "The battle
between the schooners was royal one.
Few yachtsmen have had the privilege
of witnessing SO gallant struggle for
glory and silver The Ariel, the new
A. Cary Smith model belonging to
George H. 3. Hill, ex-Commodore of
the Seawanhaka Yacht Club, was the
victor. She beat the Gardner schooner
Alcaea, and got the best OF the Lasca,
which is also a product of the genius OF
A. Cary Smith"
The New York Herald says: "Much
interest was shown in the Lasca and
Ariel. The scene about the finish
equalled in beauty the start. Colonia
had many whistles and guns, SO did sew
eral of the other. The Constellation
made the fastest time of her class over
The course, but the Ariel is likely to be
the winner of the cup for the two
stickers on time allowance"
The Ariel started at 12.31.20, the
Alcaea at 1o.31.14 and the Lasca at
12.33.23. The Ariel finished at 2.4S.14,
the Alcaca at 2.47.10 and the Lasca at
249.56. The Ariels elapsed time was
2.16.45, the Alcaea's 2.15.56 and the
Lasco's 2.10.05. The Alcaea's corrected
time was not measured, nor was the
Arlel's. The Lesca's corrected time
was 2.0s.39. The length of the course
sailed is not given.
The prize for schooners, which was
offered by Commodore Morgan, was
captured by the Ariel. II is a silver
vase Of classical ornameutation. 1t is II
inches high, weighs 1884 ounces, and is
worth $1,000.
The Ariel was the smallest boati in the
| fleet.
Among those who saw the race was
| William du Pont, who was aboard his
new yacht, the Au Revoir.
