followed by weight lifting by Mr.. D.
Moore, Of this city, after which Mr.. Geo.
Lewis, of Brooklyn, gave feats in heavy
weight lifting. breaking chains by chest
expansion and bending iron pipe by strik-
ing it over the arm. Following this part
of the Programme Professor Smith in
PRODUCED his clever feats by holding five
men upon his breast at once.
A corps from the Newark Y. M. C. A.
then performed on the German horse,
swinging rings, the parallel and horizon
tai bars. On everything on which they
performed they showed careful training
and did credit to their instructor. Their
efforts were heartily applauded by the
large audience present. Master Paul
Kempf, of Newark, delighted the audi
ence by some very difficult club swing
ing. After the entertainment the visitors
and the home gymnasts were treated to a
repaSt.

scott,k Well Earned victory.

The victory gained by Pat Scott in his
match for $50 with Ed Lawlor of Green
point was the surprise of the season at
the Jersey City Handball Court, and
was secured when every indication point
ed to the success of his opponent. The
men played several weeks ago, and
Scott, after gaining an advantage in
Greenpoint, was beaten in his own court
to the surprise of those who had placed
their money on. him. Scott was not
satisfied and challenged Lawlor for
another match with the amount of stake
money doubled. He consented and Law
Tor won three of five games in his own
court and on Sunday made it four to two
by winning the first game here. Scott
gave him a close rub and was only beater
one point. He played even stronger in
the other games and forced his opponent
to a defensive game and gained the de-
cision in four straight, which gave him
the six games as required by the rules.
1t was the greatest match ever played
in this city and the large crowd was
very much excited. Scott trained WELL
which was the secret of his success. as
he was in superb condition.

JOHNSTON AND HIS Farm.
BRADFORD. NlELDs AND GHEEN
ARGUE THE INTERSTATE BOUN-
DAIRY QUESTION.

The case of the disputed boundary
line between Delaware and pennsyl-
vania was argued on the equity side of
the Court of Common Pleas of Ches-
ter county, at West Chester. Pa. yes
terday. The question in regard to the
limo was raised by reason of the tax
collector of Little Britain township
Chester county, selling the cattle of
John IT, Johnston for the nOn-payment
of taxes claimed to be due the county
Johnston and several others along the
western boundary of the division line,
claimed that the commission appointed
by the State of Delaware and the COM
mOnwealth of Pennsylvania. were not
authorized to make a. new line or TO
change the old line. but simply 20 sur
vey, relocate and mark the old line as
laid out by Pierson and Taylor I'm 1701
Colonel Benjamin Nields and Edward
G.. Bradford. represented Johnston, and
the others affected. They argued that
the states could not enter into any
compact or agreement respecting this
boundary line without the consent of
Congress, and that neither state could
ccde any of It's territory to the
other without the consent of Congress.
They showed by the report of the COM
missioners that the old line had not
been relocated by them, and further,
by q number of witnesses, that the new
line as laid or, by the new commission
at Johnston's place was about one
quarter of a mile east of the old line,
which placed Johnston's mansion
house about 300 yards in to the State of
Pennsylvania.
John Gheen argued for the commits
sioners Of Chester county. He claimed
that the commission had authority TO
do what it did under the powers given
it by the Legislatures of the two
states.
The judge reserved his decision.

ONE CENT.
AMPLY PROVIDED FOR.
NO TRUTH IN THE STORY ABOUT
THE $4,000 CITY LOAN.

"The Sunday Star in its last issue
contained an article which was very
misleading to the public mind. said
city official this morning. ut said
that no provision had been made for
the redemption OF the $4,000 loan
which falls due on February /.
It gives the people the impression
that City Council never made any pro-
vision for it, which Is contrary to fact.
The provision was that the bonds
should be paid from the sinking fund
by ordinance passey by City Council.
This provision was made in 1888. There
is nothing irregular connected with the
transaction. The whole thing is pro-
vided for and set forth fully in the
statementof Indebtedness Of thecity
of Wilmington Issued in pamphlet
form of December o. 1888. II shows
that the loan was issued in two parts
-one. loan No. 27, for $l5O,OO0, at s
per cent. and the other part of loan
No. 2S, for $4,000, at per cent, both
payable on February 1, 1897"
1t was always intended that It
should so into the sinking fund, said
City Treasurer Adams. THAT Is what
the sinking fund is for There is
nothing strange or unprovided for
about the loan"
