A branch Of a peach tree, of Calhoun's
Seeding variety, wes sent to the CHRoN-
icle ofice by Mr. Thomas NJ Davis, on
Monday last, that had more peaches on it
than any one would attempt to count.
They we're about the size of marbles, and
if nine out of ten of them would fall off
there would still remain more than
enough to become properly nourished
and matured. We think Milford will
have the largest crop of peaches since
the first tree was put out in Delaware.

THE country is now at its best as re
CARDS beauty. A ride or walk of few
miles is better than a visit to famous
picture gallery. The colors are brightest
now, especially the scarlet cloyer. The
bringing Of that here has done wonders
for the landscape. The air too is full of
the sweetest perfumes and the only loss
we note is of singing birds. As we said
last week our bird population is small.
Some attribute this to the English spar
rows, but whatever the cause we have few
notes of song in the woods.

WHY can't Dover have base ball club
this year They had a strong team last
wear aud made the best record Of any
club on this Peninsula. A good club can
be organized here and it ought to be done.
Dover is far behind her sister towns IN
this respect, and if the people will take
some interest in it there will be good
club here this summer. Everybody take
hold of it and Dover will not be SO slow
as it has been lately. Organize a club
and play the New York Young Ladies,
Club bsre next week. They have played
GOOD ball in Middletown and Smyrna and
have had large crowds to see them play:
They plav at Milford this afternoon and
there is expected to be large crowd pres
emit. they carry 100 feet of canvas which
thew use as a fence.-Deia7gagean Of Sal

AN exhibition of ball playing was given
by one of the members of the Ladies'
Ball Club and Milford player, on Satur-
day morning, on the street at the corner
of Front and Walnut, North. An i'm
mense crowd OF people witnessed the
game. A gentleman in the crowd who
was a god and old ball player thought
he could throw ball so very hard that
the young lady could not catch it. He
did throw hard ball and a wild ball too,
for that matter. The young lady easily
captured everything that came within six
feet of her, but she could not stop "the
one" that came ten feet over her head
and as far to the left. It was a very wild
throw and a very hard throw. The crowd,
individually, lodged, but being packed as
close as sardines, some one must of ne
cessity have been hit. Col. NJ. H. Davis
was the unfortunate one. The ball, hard,
as it was, struck him fair in the forehead
and but for the assistance of those near
him, would have felled him. He was car
ried into the store of J. w. Adkins and
soon regained lost consciousness. His
head was badly cut aud bruised, but on
Monday morning he was out again with
his head covered with plasters.
