SPORTING NEWS NOTES.

In speaking of the playing of the
Wilmington Whist Club team against
the Hamilton Club for the American
Whist Club trophy on Saturday night,
the Philadelphia Evening Telegraph
said yesterday. THE Wilmington team
unquestionably played the best game
that Hamilton has been called upon to
face i'm a trophy match this season, the
quality of whist shown by the visitors
being probably the strongest any team
representing their club ever exhibited
The style Of play put up by the Della
wareans means that If they can keep
their present team, or one Of its cali
bre. together i'm good trim they will
henceforth be distinctly in it when
championships are to be determined, q"
Frank j. Pyle yesterday broke the
record made by b. r. Mcdaniel over

each ten miles is as follows: First ten
miles, thirty-one minutes; second thir-
ty-two minutes; third, twenty-nine
minutes: fourth twenty-eight and a
half minutes; fifth, thirty-seven min
utes. The old record was two hours
and forty-two minutes.

IMPORTANT DAY, TOMORROW.
SEVERAL MOMENTOUs MATTERS
TO BE CONSIDERED AND Dis
POSED OF-MORE LIGHT.

nLf i-lNRA4 4hONlHAN iOlD MA iliee
TO BE CONSIDERED AND DIS
POSED OF-MORE LIGHT
Tomorrow will be day Of much
Importance In New Castle. chiefly from
the fact that the whole lighting system
Of the town may be changed. One COM
pany may receive "a strong boost, -
while another corporation may receive
a blow City Council viii sit as a
committee Of the whole to receive. open
and award the contract for supplying
city light for the coming year
AT the Jail the grand jury for New
Castle county together with the Levy
Court, will meet the jail commissioners
and sheriff for a days inspection OF the
prison and county property. and the
subject of light will also come before
them in such form that the Levy Court
may feel compelled to take prompt ac-
ton at its next meeting. Sheriff Finn
will urge the grand jury for a recon-
mendation TO the court for better light
insnde and outside the prison, as the
most profitable move toward prison re-
form.
Another question to come before the
visitors Is that of the new Jail kitchen
proposed by Dr. Black and County
Commissioner White and designed by
Architect r.. n, Carswell This new
building has not yet been ordered by
the Levy Court. but it is believed that
Ii will be after the visit tomorrow
This building Is intended for several
purposes. principally to take from the
jail building that unpleasant smell Of
cooking soup and meat which, at times
clings TO the old place.
The new Jail building is also in
tended to provide i'm its second story
adequate and healthier quarters fol
the vagrants and stone-pile men. who
can thus be kept in sight of their worh
and within easy reach of the super
visor. by taking them out OF the mair
building more room will be made fol
the women prisoners.
