terest, and the sport will no doubt be
exceedingly ludicrous.
When MIR. Hoch was q Young man
he once took part in similar race in
Germany and he says the spectators
went wild 1t lasted for more than an
hour, and the little porker dived through
the legs of the men who were after ii at
VIII. Sometimes 1t would turn and
dart through the legs of a whole row of
men IN succession. Finally they suc-
ceeded in wearying the little animal
and 1t was compelled to stop from ex-
haustion and of course was captured.
There will also be other interesting
events, such as bow.legged men racing
on bicycles, three-legged heats, wheel
barrow. hurdle and other races, and, in
fact all kinds of sport in which the
peculiarly-shaped neither limbs of the
participants will be conspicuous. The
sports Will no doubt be very interesting
and amusing.
1t is the intention of the projectors of
the club to continue the organization for
the purpose of creating friendly and
social feeling among the particular class
OF people of which it is composed.
WHERE THE IDEA ORIGINATED.
Fred. Hoch, the chief promoter of
novel club, conceived the idea while
rejecting over an athletic event in
which he once took part in Germany,
where the contestants in some of the
events were bow-legged men exclu-
siyely. He recalled the fun he and his
6oW-legged companions made for the
spectators, and the happy notion of
forming the organization flashed across
his mind.
Hoch is a jolly good fellow and IS
well known, particularly among Ger
mans, all over the city. He was born
near Wurtenburg, Germany, in 1858,
and as soon as he was old enough he
took fancy to athletic advertisements,
IN which he found great pleasure during
his youth. He came to America in 1872
and located in Philadelphia. In his
native land he had learned the baking
trade and secured employment in the
Quaker City soon after he landed. But
Philadelphia did not suit him and after
remaining in that city but eight weeks
he went to Erie, Pa. In the latter city
he worked as iourneyman baker for
nearly i've years. His next place of
residence was Wilmington, where he
has remained ever since.
During recent years Mr.. Hoch has not
had much opportunity, on account of
pressure of business, to devote time to
'sthletics, but the old love is returning to
him and he cannot resist the temptation
to have some good, old-time sport, and
for that reason he is anxious for the
success OF his new undertaking. He is
elated with the interest that is being
taken by his friends and he is confident
of good results.

William @. Guthrie Charged With AS
saulting IA Little Girl.

I
William q. Guthrie was arraigned
before Judge Bail in the city court Tues
day morning, charged with assault anc
battery on Eva G. Weldon, 12-years-
old girl living at No. 1910 West Second
street. Guthrie is an amateur dentist
and the charge of assault was based on
the fact that he pulled q tooth from the
mouth of the little girl, causing her
much pain and annoyance. Instead of
pulling diseased tooth he extracted a
good molar
Eva Weldon was put on the stand
and after being sworn testified that she
had known four girls who had teeth
pulled by Guthrie and as she had the
toothache she wanted the tooth taken
out. On Sunday last she saw Guthrie
in Martha Smiths yard and girl pushed
her in. Guthrie got hold of her and told
her to sit on the steps. She opened her
mouth and with a pair of forceps ex-
tracted a tooth.
The tooth Guthrie took out was a
good one, although she had bad one
next to it. She said Guthrie promised
10 give her some fireworks on the Fourth
of July if she allowed him to pull the
tooth.
Lilburne Chandler, attorney for Guth-
rie, tried hard to shake the child's testi-
mony, but brought out no additional
facts on cross-examination.
Jesse Smith, a small boy, testified that
he was present during the operation and
when Eva had run home to tell her
mother, Guthrie gave him a dollar to
give the girl and tell her mother he did
not pull the good tooth intentionally.
Guthrie was put on the stand in his
own behalf. He testified that he bad
dental instruments is his pocket and
children congregated around him and
he asked if anybody wanted tooth
pulled. Eva said she had the toothache
and she sat on the steps. He got his
forceps on the bad tooth, but at the
same time the girl jumped, the forceps
slipped to the good tooth and he pulled
it by mistake. He often pulled teeth
for children, he sald. He gave the girl
a dollar so that she could have the bad
tooth filled by some one else.
Judge Ball said that Weldon had a
good case for civil suit tagatnst Guthrie,
but there was no evidence tina. would
justify him in finding Guthrie guilty Of
assault and battery and accordingly the
case was dismissed.

THE Bow-legged Mems Club of
Wilmington" now stands en- two legs.
Frederick Hoch. the genial baker
whose establishment is at the
corner of Adams and Linden streets,
conceived the idea of banding together
the bow-legged contingent of the city,
and after conference with some Of his
peculiarly.shaped friends, he decided to
make an effort to call meeting for the
purpose of organization.
Mr.. Hoch has worked like beaver in
the interestsof a proposed club for the
past two weeks, and his efforts have
about been crowned with success.
A preliminary meeting was held at
his store on Saturday night week, and
all who attended were enthusiastic and
desired to enlist themselves as charter
members. The matter was pretty we'll
discussed at the preliminary gathering
and it was decided to wait at least a
week to organize, and Mr.. Hoch was
requested to make a canvass of his bow.
legged friends and find out what
strength can be mustered into the
prospective organization. Accordingly
1t was agreed to hold the second meet
ing one week after the first one, and on
Saturday night last there was another
gathering of Wilmingtonians with rain
bow legs at the Hoch bakery.

CIrF sOLIpIToR HARMAN
Introduced at the Municipal Court on
Monday Morning.

Robert G. Harmau, city solicitor elect,
was sworn in by Judge Ball Monday
morning immediately after the municipal
court had been opened.
Before Mr.. Harman took charge OF
the office City Solicitor Elliott addressed
the court and recounted the many things
he had learned during his term. He
stated that his relations with the Judge,
the clerk of the court and the other
officers had been extremely pleasant,
and any differences which have arisen
have been of form and not of substa z<e.
Judge Ball also made few timely
remarks. He thanked the retiring city
solicitor for the manner in which he had
handled his work and the assistance he
had been to the court, and expressed
the hope that the new city solicitor will
go on with the work as Mr.. Elliott has
done it.
AS final step in turning the office
over to the new official, Mr. Elicit
handed him the keys in his possession.
