PATIENTS DO NOT PLAY.

When the Wayfarer stated, some
days ago, that some OF the members Of
the baseball team Of the Delaware
State Hospital at Farnhurst were pa
tients at the institution he was in err
ror. This fact was called to his atten-
tion yesterday by Superintendent
Hancker, who stated that, while some
inmates played with the team last
year, this year its membership is re-
stricted to employees Of the institution.
The club has excellent grounds, and
there are two grand .stands-one for
men and the other for women patients.
The distraught creatures watch the
games with marked interest and the
diversion so afforded has proved to be
greatly beneficial. The Farnhursi
Club plays fairly good ball, too On
Tuesday it met and defeated, by a
score OF to 3, a picked nine from this

PRESIDENT THOMsON's DOGS.

PRESIDENT THOMsON'S DOGS.
President Frank Thomson. Of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, went
down the Delaware road this morning
TO hunt for plover on marshes in the
neighborhood Of Milford. He was ac-
companied by General Freight Man
ager w. J. Latta, Of Philadelphia, and
George X. Morris. Of this city. II gum
ming Is good they Will remain for sew
oral days. Next month they will go to
Indiana.
Perhaps few Wdlmingtonians know
that most Of President ThomsOn's
hunting dogs are kept in this city and
that Mr.. Morris is their keeper and
trainer. Three are kept at the presi-
dents home, Cocker Hill, near Phila-
delphia, but the twelve upon which he
chiefly relies to find and retrieve his
game are kept at Mr.. Morris home,
No. 209 French street. where each has
q separate kennel and a vacant lot af-
fords exercise ground for all Of them.
For twelve years Mr.. Morris has been
the hunting companion OF Mr.. Thom-
son and the custodian OF his dogs,
whose prices range from $3.50 to $1,000.
Mr. Morris has been in the railroad
service on the Delaware division for
twenty-nine years, and this connection
threw him and the president into con-
tact Recognizing the worth OF the
sporting blood which coursed through
Mr. Morris veins. the president de-
cided to make him his companion on
hunting trips He has had him all over
the United States from the Atlantic tC
the Pacific coast and from the Cana
dian frontier to Florida. In fact, II
the Wayfarer is not misinformed sew
eral Canadian trips are included in the
itinerary OF twelve years. President
Thomson has never succeeded in get
ting Mr. Morris to go to Scotland with
him. This was not because he did no
want to gun in the cOverts Of the high
lands, but because he was afraid tC
cross the ocean.
President Thomson believes In point
ers and does not take much stock II
settlers. or his twelve dogs in this city
but three are settlers. His pointers arr
Bob I, Bob II, Joe. Rival, MARI, George
Clyde, Duke, Glen and Rex. Frank
Dash and Chloe are his settlers. Man!
sporsmen hold that bitches are mucl
smarter than dogs. but the above list
which includes but one bitch, show
that President Thomson does not shar,
in this belief.
