SO. 6656 plus rods IN length and not 80, as he
states. hut II he assumes that the lS-scre farm
has sides 60 rods long then the smaller farm
would have ny proportion) sides 20 rods long.
but correcting his mistake We get oil 1898 plus

DELAWARE rs. MARYLAND.
GamecoclSs From Dixie Land vanquishe,
the Blue Hens Chickens

A score or so OF Wilmington sports
returned early Friday morning from
witnessing u cooking main in Canton,
suburb of Baltimore.
The Baltimore american gives the
following story of the incident:
Ten "night-owl" hacks, about 200
Weary-looking sports, one with broken
arm and covered with mud, led the way
to lively cooking main near Canton
yesterday afternoon. The main CON
sisted of 10 sharp fights between birds
OF Delaware and Maryland. The fights
were lively throughout, and main
wager of $500 was stubbornly fought
for. Just beyond the limits of the city,
IN Baltimore county, at precisely 0
o'clock, the birds were matched in an
old barn prepared for the purpose.
The first fight was viewed by oil the
spectators, and it was 'come and 20"
match between a finely trained red
speckled and bantam Of unusual size.
The bantam was Maryland bird and
10 to 8 was wagered on it. He started
in and won in u walk without even a
gaif. The second fight saw large red
bird of Delaware lined against clear
cut black fellow of Maryland birth, who
was no match for his opponent. On
this fight about 5000 changed hands, as
the black bird looked winner tor the
Marylanders, but fell short on a clever
neck swoop by the red.
The third tight was, in sporting par
lance, "a bird" Maryland came to the
front with an awkward, clumsy sDeci-
men OF the true game cock. lie was mn
old'looking Spanish cock, spry and
clever. He started in against Delaware
bird nearly two pounds heavier, and
again Maryland was victorious. The
sports by this time were hungry and adj
1ourned 10 u nearby restaurant, where
oysters and salted crackers filled the
solid bill.Of-fare.
Darkness covered the ride of city
sports to the place, and they arrived in
large numbers. On the opening fight at
night n great kick arose. MARYLAND
wanted fight without spurs, but
Delaware raised an objection, and things
locked squally for time. Muryland's
point was carried, however, and the fight
proceeded without the cruel brass instru.
ments. Again Maryland won with a
good-sized red bird, to the surprise Of
the out-of-town sports. BY this time il
was thoroughly dark, and the train
from Washington landed nearly 100
sports from that city. The air in the
barn was fast becoming sitting, and the
large addition TO the crowd made it
almost suifocating.
More city sports continued to arrive
by IL O'Clock in the evening, when nine
fights had been decided. The barn was
crowded to its utmost. Maryland now
had six, while Delaware was tagging
behind with only three victories. Della
ware put red game of the first water
against scrawny-looking yellow cock,
but on a shy lock the Maryland bird
won. A great howl arose, but the
referee was firm, and Maryland won the
day, and local sports came out of the
barn in great glee. Washington's repre-.
sentation had wisely wagered ON Mary
land birds, and they, too, were money
in. Delaware's chicken fanciers left the
place in bankrupt and exhausted con.
dition. They took late train last night
for home.

weight. The handle was fixed by a
hinge ut one end. This was let go and
the fall of the weight upon the flax
stalks beneath cracked the fine bark.
A continuous operation resulted in the
stripping Of the bark.
The next process was scutching by
which the bark was entirely cleaned off.
Then followed the heckling, by which
the iihres were separated clear and
clean for the spinner. The fibre was
then tied up and ready for use. You
cannot nowadays find any such thing
as lax brake, q scutching board or a
heckle.
THE COUNTRY PLEASURES.
Tho boys and girls in town think the
country boys had no pleasures and no
place to go of evenings, But they went
to singing school and would think moth
ing of tramp Of three or four miles Of
of Saturday evening for the purpose.
The name of Joseph Stidham is a
familiar one here. The auctioneer's
uncle and possibly his father taught
singing school in Brandywine hundred.
CLARK" AT OLD swEpEs.
He led the singing in Old Swodes
Church and raised the tune when was
a little boy, rs years ago. In those days
they did not call him clerk" but
CLARK" as friend of niue told nc is
the custom in England to day.
UNCLE JosIE's FINE VOICE.
Mr.. Stidham had splendid loud voice.
He held singing-schools at Sharpley's
schoolhouse at Young's Bank, Brandy
wine; and at Cartmelrs schoolhouse, on
the Philadelphia pike. The meetings
were always crowded by boys and girls.
Old Josie Stidham knew how to teach
them. The notes were different then.
Now they so by lines and spaces. Then
the note indicated what was to be sung.
SOME COLD WEATHER.
My mother told me when she was a
girl in Pennsylvania it was so cold one
night they had to bring the COW aud
calf into tho kitchen to Keep them from
freezing to death. They hung up u quilt
to make partition between themselves
and the beasts. My mother was u sister
to George White, a Revolutionary SOL
der under Washington at Brandywine.
He was one Of the Light Horse corps.
He used to tell my mother that in the
campaign with the British he always
took care to have good horse. 1t often
saved his life.
