WILMINGTON, Del. Sept. 5.-The anni-

near Newark, was celebrated in quiet
way by the raising of flag by the family
of Register of Wills ]. wilkins Cooch.
There were no speeches and the exercises
We're participated in only by Mr.. Cooch's
family.
This flag is also raised in commemora-
tion of the first appearance of "Old Glory"

Of Mr.. Cooch was called to an article in
which the writer claimed that the first
battle of the revolutionary war in which
the stars and stripes was carried by the
colonial troops was at Cooch's bridge
The statement interested him, as the<land
which the battle was fought was at the
time OF the fight and is still in possession
of his family, and stories of the fight are
among the cherished traditions of the fam
lily and place. A study of the history Of the
flag and OF the incidents connected with
the fight of Cooch's Bridge convinced him
that the honor claimed for Delaware and
for his old homestead was a just one, and
the flag was f1oated to-day as near to the
place on which IL received it's baptism OF
fire. as can ever be ascertained.
