A "ERIENDSHIP" QUILT.
The Latest Subtle and Crafty Device
for Taking Use of Ones Friends.

hN A@SAbSCk 1uUklC dEAO NEdALY DCVICG
for Taking Use of Ones Friends.
A friendship quilt is composed of
several squares of a suitable and
pretty washing material, each
worked by a different friend. The
size fixed upon for the squares must
necessarily depend upon the extent
of ones circle of friends, Or the lat
itude allowed to the application of
sweet word "friend." With some
of us the quilt would contain but
three or four squares at the most
AS a rule, it would be safe to
limit the size of each square to
foot or under, says Myra's Journal.
The squares must be neatly hem
med and distributed to the differ
ent friends, who consent to contri-
butte to the undertaking, with a
sufficient amount of embroidering
material to complete the work, and
an understanding that the work
shall be returned, if possible, by
certain date, when all the pieces
will be neatly joined together into
complete quilt. The joins may
be made ornamental by a neatly
worked fancy stitch masking them,
or a narrow insersion of coarse lace
may divide the squares. In this
case the quilt will need lining.
1t will at once be seen that in
this work there is much scope for
individually of taste, as any
amount of latitude is allowed, and
any device, pretty, severe, sugges-
tive or gortesque, may be INDUCED
in, just as the spirit and capability
of the worker dictates, resulting,
perhaps, when completed in pos
session of value and real interest.
There is no end to the ideas that
may be introduced. Should
whole family, containing a sufficient
number of members, each consent
to work square, they might COM
bine and make a "set' by working
out the different signs of the zodiac.
Motto after motto on the subject of
friendship, beside others equally
applicable, crowd upon ones re-
collection.
"He was my friend, faithful and
and just to me,' from "Julius
Caesar :" ''The dearest friend to
me, the kindest man, the best
conditioned and unwearied spirit in
doing courtesies," from the "Mer-
chant of Venice :" from "Othello"
comes, "If | do VOW a friendship,
I'll perform it to the last article"
(even to the extent of embroidering
square y A put-upon worker,
with not much sympathy with the
"fad, could work, and viciously
enjoy working if, the lines from
"Julius Caesar
friend should bear his friends infirmities.
"a man that has friends must
show himself friendly" rather
hints at a "return" quilt looming
in the distance. The willing horse
may work. "He that is your
friend indeed, he will held thee in
thy need" The "chum" might
venture to put "NIine own familiar
friend" while the instigator and
owner of the quilt could centre or
head it with Amelia Welby's lines
A. the dew 10 the blossoms and bud to the bee,
A. the scent 10 the rose, these memories to me,
having a quaint old-fashioned twag
of the once cherished valentine
about them, taking one back to
bread and butter days at one
bound.

A MAY MADRieAL.

Birds arc busy on the bough; .,
Listen how they sing
All tho world Is merry now f'f
In the arms of spring.
Twinkling blossoms on the spray,
Trembling stars above,
How they gladden., hearing May
Whisper softly, Lowell
Ficklo April gone at last
Doubt with her has flown.
May and Hope returned and fast
Calling to their own.
In her garden bower the rose
Slips velvet glove;
Some one calls her-well she knows
'Tis the voice Of Love!
On the vino the gentle gales
Kiss the buds awake.
Drowsy violets in the wales
All their dreams forsake.
Back OH shining pinions fleet
Flies her faithful dove
With Mays message strange and sweet,
With your message, Love.

SrRINGFIELD Mass, Sept. i2.-Every
bicycle rider of any note in the country IL
here trying to win portion of the prizes
hung up 10y the Springfield Bicycle club
for contests ON Hampdon park On the
first day of actual racing over o, 600 people
attended Tho greatest interest of the day
conferred In Glass B, and some record
breaking riding was realized.
A. W. Porter of Waltham, scratch
man, as neither Sanger nor Tyler started
in tho event. was the winner of the flve
mile handicap I'm tho remarkable time Of
1884 20, breaking tho professional record
for that distance l6 seconds. In the one
milo professional class, which was intond-
cd as tho star attraction of tho day San
gor won easily from Tyler, with Coleman
aud Baker close 20 the second man.
Bald proved himself the fastest rider In
the country and capable OF giving distance
Co any rider in any Of the classes. In tho
one mile opon Bald, Cahanna and Gardi-
ncr were looked to TO mako close and ox-
citing race The pacing for the event was
done on "a tandcm. and Gardiner, after a
lively sprint with Bald for the lend, cap
tured it, the latter riding I'm second place
for the first throc-quartors. Ilo then pro-
cccdcd to prove false the general idea that
TO the men on the tandem is duo the win
ming of the race for with a burst Of speed
no shot like a rocket to the front and fin
ishcd sitting up three lengths away from
Cooper and Cabanne, who had both passed
Gardiner In tho strotoh.
OF tho Glass A men, c. r. Newton OF
Stafford Springs, Conn. showed himself
easily the superior Of any ridcrs in that
division.
He started in three events and won all
Of them, and in two ho broke worlds rec

Military Commission Appointed TO In
vestigate the Deepening of the Christi-
ana Spent Much Time ON the Creek Yes
terday.
Major Haines, OF Baltimore: Major
Raymond, of Philadelphia, and Major
Davis, OF Washington, the three United
States military men sent here as a
commission to consider some less
extravagsnt plan Of deepening The
Christlana than that recommended by
the engineers-to establish a flushing
basin At the Christiana's mouth-were
shown every point on the creek from
Newport to the creek s mouth yesterday
afternoon on their little excursion on
the tug Taurus
All the recommendations of the VIII
mingtou men on board were received
favorably by the commission aud there
is little doubt IN ths minds OF local
shipping men that the officials will
speedily agree on one Of the most
expedient recommendations and report
the same at once 10 Chief Engineer
Craighill.
The party spent the entire afternoon
yesterday on the Christiana. They
remained up the creek au hour and then
went down, returning just before dark.
Major Raymond seemed particularly
interested in the plans advanced by the
Wilmington commercial men.

The U. S. GUHBOAT WILMINGTON.

To BE Named In honor of This CIty-In-
itiaI Steps Towards Securing an Ap-
propriate Gift for Her.
The honor of having man-of-wRr
named after ones native or adopted city
Is considered by the residents OF that
city as highly desirable and they have
invariably shown their appreciation by
presenting to the craft bearing its name
handsome silver service or other
appropriate testimonial This shows
not only the interest taken in the new
ship the assuming OF q sort of God
fathsrship as it were, but links more
closely those vino reside between the
walls Of wood and those Of stone and
brick.
The Navy Department has decided to
name one of the new gunbosts to be
built at Newport News after this city,
Wilmington. and 1t is but fitting that
tho good people OF this city should take
cognizAnce of it, other cities have done
honor to themselves and their nsmesake
and Wilmington should not be behind
hand.
With this obi sct in view, the EVENING
JOURNAL has started q subscription list
the fund to be ued for the purcha'e Of
q silver service for the United States
gunboat Wilmington. The money re-
ceived will be Acknowledged in these col.
umns and held subject to the orders Of
committee OF citizens which will
be selected later. Another suggestion
the EVENING JOURNAL would make at this
point is. that one Of Wilmlngton's many
charming and fair daughters be chosen
to christen the new craft when launched.
The Historical Society, Sons Of the
American Revolution, Delaware Clncin-
natl, aud ths New Century Club should
all take hand in this work. and with
organized effort on their part it should
be an easy task to raise handsome sum
for royal testimonial.

THE TROUBLE OYER PILOTS.
The Delaware Board OF Commissioners
Did Not Live Up to Its Phiiadeiphis
Agreement

The Delaware Board of Commissioner
Did Not Live Up to Its Philadelphia
Agreement
The Board of Port Werdens OF Phila-
delphia Is not fully satisfied with the
action OF the Board OF Pilot Commits
sioners Of this state In the matter Of the
parlor car pilots The port wardens say
that the commissioners pledged them
selves TO do just whatever the wardens
did In order to secure uniformity Of
regulations.
What grieves the Philadelphians is that
the commissioners at the meeting yester-
day failed to adopt a clause Of the
Philadelphia regulations which Is as
follows:
10 case vessel comes to the Break
water for orders and discharges her
pilot, subsequently receiving her orders
to Philsdelpnia and there takes another
pilot, he shall be permitted II necessary
10 take charge OF the vessel from the
Breakwater
Jt Is believed that another conference
Of the two bodies will be held soon and
an effort made TO adjust the differences
Walter Virden. the Delaware pilot who
has been joining the Allan line steam q
ships at Halifax threatens TO take out
an Injunction agaiost the commissioners
Before tne matter Is ended there
promises to be lively fight In court
between the affected pilot on one side,
and the port wArdeus and pilos commits
fioners on the other.
II Is said that the way the case will
be tested will be by the cruising boats
speaking all the inwsrd-bound Allan
Line or other ships having on bosrd
pilots taken on IN adj jecsnt ports and
rendering bills for services as though
performed Ia this way a case will be
made out at once and the legality Of the
new regulations will be tested IN court At
an early day.
Some hold that in the manner aud with
the understanding that the regulators
were recently passed by the Port
Wardens, that body will not put them
into effect until adopted to the letter by
the Delaware Pilot Commissioners.
