MOVING INrO TINE ARMORY.


Within Two Weeks the Headquarters of
Adjutnnt General G. j. Hart Will be ut
the Old Troop Ii Armory.
Probably within month the city
militia companies will be regularly
quartered in the old Troop b Armory,
Twelfth and Orange streets.
Through recent developments the
building has reverted to the State. 1t
can be used by the State authorities for
no better purpose than that for which
it was built, namely, the reception of
the militia. So the most natural thing
in the world is that the city companies
should move in there, especially as at
this moment they are homeless.
Although Companies A and @ have
sent in their designations, the resigna-
tons have not been accepted. There
fore, so far as the militia authorities of
Delaware are concerned, those COM
panies are still on the militia roster of
the State.
For the past week Acting Assistant
Quartermaster General Armon d. ebay
tor has had official charge of the build
ing and with the aid of some men has
been putting it in order for the recep-
ton Of the city militia. 1t is expected
that within ~ days Adiutant General
Garrett J. Hart will move his head
quarters 10 the armory. This will be the
official act of taking possession OF the
armory by the militia.

welcomed mothers, fathers, brothers and

meeting.
There was some music, severalI
speakers followed, and then all separated
to meet in smaller parties on the banks
of the beautiful lake near by, at the ice
cream saloon or by the healthful springs
of mineral water. The so boats on the
placid lake were none too many for the
crowds that flocked to use them, nor yet
were they too large.
At o'clock in the afternoon the
grand concert hall was again the gather
ing place of the "Peacemakers. Dia-
logues, Rotations and music were plen-
titully in evidence, and between these
designations John j. Cornell, Alfred II.

o. s. Fell, business manager for the
| Universal Peace Union, presided, and
he had as aids Rowland Comfy, Joseph
II. Scull, William ID. Yarnall, Thomas
j. Scett and Edward @. Dixon.
At z o'clock a start was made for
home, and, as the great white-banded
flag of peace foated in the breeze, a
huzza from the departing throng indi-
Gated the joy that the sight of the STAN
dard and the memories of the days de-
lights brought them.

Clarence Brewer the Winner of the Ten
mile Road Race in 33.4l Minutes-The
Track Events.
The Wilmington Wheel Club had
better luck with their annual spring
meeting Saturday last than on May 10th.
The weather was fine, there was fair
attendance, and the events were ex-
tremely interesting. The meeting was
at the Front and Union grounds.
Clarence Brewer was the victor in the
10.mile road race. His time was 33
minutes and Al seconds, being one
minute and four seconds ahead Of the
next man in. His handicap of z minutes
makes the record remarkable one.
Robert Wier, who was handicapped
one minute made the best time, going
over the 10.mile course In 26 minutes
and IS seconds. There is some dispute
in regard to the one-minute handicapped
men. The two minute men were absent,
and it is stated that the starter let the
next class, the one.minute men, take
their place, instead of keeping them
back until the lapse Of the handicap
time of two minutes.
The course of the race was around the
track, up Union street to Ninth, TO
Woodlawn avenue, thence to the Ken
nett turnpike, where Il straight route
was taken up and followed to about one
fifth of mile this side of the Brick
Church-about a mile and half east of
entreville-whore the turn was made
and the return taken up over the same
route. -......
Seeds broke pedal almost at the
start and had to give up the race Hick-
man Johnson, L. II. Pyle and Schwende-
man also met with accidents and had to
fall out also.

For some time the gas pipe furnishing
the light over the police booth at
Seventh and Orange has been leaking
and several unsuccessful attempts had
been made to discover it. On Friday
Lineman IIyland and a workman from
the gas Office went to the patrol box to dis
cover the leak. The workman got down
on his knees and struck match under
the booth, when L loud explosion of the
leaking gas occurred. The explosion
caused some excitement in the neighbor-
hood and the workman discovered the
leak much easier than he had expected.
He was not badly injured by the ex-
plosion.

A Total of 6,2sT,55O Tons of Material
Used in Constructing the Base of the
Delaware River Bank.
Up to date the dredge Vim, of the
Atlas Dredging Co., has deposited q
total of 6,227, $50 tons of material in
constructing the base of the Delaware
river front bank.
This is only from Fourth street up to
Edge Moor. Some idea of the extent of
the work accomplished in the past few
weeks may be gathered when it is
understood that each of these tons means
a cart-load of material. The figures
given cover within two-thirds of what
has to he deposited on the river 'front.'
The Christlana river and the Brandy
wine bank have yet to receive their de-
post of mud and material. Each one
of these will require an amount which
will bring up the total of the material
