Newark Becoming "Sporty."

Under the above caption the Newark Della
ware correspondent of the Every Evening, in
its issue of Thursday, tells how thr demoraiz
ing influence of the Cecil county race ira ks
is effectng that town, and gives the following
account of an attempt to mob minstrel
company:
This town is feeling the evil effect of Cecil
county's race tracks. Their demoralizing in
nuence was illustrated on Monday evening
during a minstrel performance in Casky Hall.
The performers consisted of three men and
ten women. the latter it is said, being young
and attractive. The attendance was large
and included many race track men. Soon
after the performance began several men left
the auditorium and went behind the scenes,
and near the close of the entertainment the
rest of the the assembage, thinking that they
should be accorded the same privilege.
rushed in n body upon the stage, completely
filling it. and battered down doors. During
this disgraceful proceeding the women per-
formers fled to the dressing rooms. While
an attempt to get tho mob off the stage was
being made a race track man kicked boy
on the head, and the scoundrel's brutality
almost prccipitated Il general fight. The
women were hastily escorted to boarding
houses and the hall was partially cleared.
Subsequently, hostilities were renewed, dur
ing which knives were drawn, but their
possessors were not permitted to use them
The disorderlnesS continued until O'Clock
on Tuesday morning.
