sition TO confer upon the Archbishop OF
Canterbury an Official status as head of
all branches of the Episcopal church in
all parts of the world, which was one of

nothing. Englishmen were Exceedingly
eager to see the archbishop established
as primate for the church throughout
the world, but the American bishops

Arrangements for Large Attendance OF
DelaMArennA


Delawareans.
The local officials of the League OF
American Wheelmen are making ar
engagements for large attendance OF
wheemen from this city and State at
the great meet TO be beld in Philadel-
nhia for q week commencing on August
3D.. While the railroads have made a
rate of one fare for the round trip on
all tickets sold on the Sd and 4th and
used on thnse days and on the return
trip 90 the 9th, this arrangement will
be of little benefit to Wilmington wheel
men in view of the fact that as rule
those attending from here will find it
more convenient to 60 to Philadelphia
each day.
l'ut the local League men have over
come the difficulty and have made ar
rangements with Passenger Agent
Miller Of the b. & o. Railroad Co..
whereby an S7.cent rate has been Sc
cured.
The two greatest days, as far as Will
mingtonians are concerned, will be
Friday and Saturday, August 9Th and
Tth. on which days the great races will
be run at Willow Grove Park, and by
arrangement with the Baltimore & Ohio
Nuitpnu W. pIoOidi tTdlu Hii 10 luh
each day from this city direct to Will
low Grove Park, and for the 300 or
more wheelmen who will make the trip
on each day the ST.ceut rate will pre-
vail. This will obviate Inconvenience
and extra expense in Philadelphia.
The matter has been placed in the
hands of Capt Rupert of the Whining
ton Bicycle Club. who win confer with
those intending to go and the time for
the departure of the trains from this
city and the park will be decided prob
ably this week. All those intending to
avail themselves of the opportunity of
going with the club members should
notify either the officers of the club or
the League officials in this city.
All members Of the League should
take their League tickets with them, as
there will be numerous privileges ac-
corded to members. Those who DO not
belong will have an opportunity of join
ing at the League headquarters at Will
low Grove Park.

THE COURSE RECORD BEoREN.
Game OF Golf at the Delaware Field Clubs
Grounds on Saturday.

bhme OF bOit at the beiaWAre fieiu CluDb
Grounds on Saturday.
In golf tournament at the Delaware
Field Club links on Saturday, j. Ernest
Smith broke the record of the course
for two rounds, or IS holes. The best
previous record 10 match had been
made by Mr.. Smith, the score then
being 102 strokes for two rounds of nine
holes each. This record had been
beaten in practice by Henry L. Tatnall,
in Oh strokes, 43 for one round and 81
for the other. Mr.. Smiths record in
Saturdays match was 81 strokes, 80 for
the first round, and 45 for the second.
He thus broke both the nine holes and
the Is holes record.
Heretofore three of the players have
been at scratch, MIR. Smith. Fl. L.
Tatnal and Henry B. Thompson. In
consequence OF the fine performance of
Saturday Mr.. Smith will be placed at
minus 13. Nearly a score of players took
part 10 the match. 1t is interesting to
golf men to know that the improvement
in the scores recently is largely due to
tho improved condition of the course,
the committee having taken advantage
OF the wet weather to have the course
rolled with heavy roller. Twice around
tile course is 2s3 miles.
Some of the newer players are show
ing decided improvement and will soon
be on the scratch list Among those
who have made Improvement are
Messrs. Draper, Bush, McCurdy, Wales,
Hofecker, Fluenwider and Candy. The
ladies Of the club are taking an interest
in the game and it will not be long be-
fore goodly number of them are at
the links
By fall the club hopes to have either
one or two teams organized, 10 order
that it may be able to play matches
with Philadelphia teams from which
numerous invitations have been re-
ceived.
Although the weather was unpropi-
tious and affected the attendance at the
Elsmere grounds, an ENJOYABLE tea was
given under the direction of Miss
Frances ID. Swift.
