Grand kaily OF Old Soldiers.

There will be grand open scamp-
fire. in the assembly room Of the High
School, Eighth and Adams streets, on
Thursday evening next. Junior Vice
Commander-in-C General Daniel
Ross, of the G. A. r., will preside. The
campfire will be open 10 the public, and
every old soldier and sailor should be
present, also the young soldiers OF the
Spanish-American war, to hear what the
old soldiers have to say about army life.
They expect number of prominent G.
A. r. men from Philadelphia and other
points to be present and relate their ex.
perience Of the dark days Of the Rebel
lion.
The purpose of this campfire is to
create an enthusiasm, not only among
the old soldiers but also among the citi-
zens of Wilmington, that they may be
for the grand parade at the
National Encampment in Philadelphia
next September. Delaware has always
had cause to be proud of her soldiers,
from the Revolution to the present time,
and it is the desire of the department
officers to have the department in such a
condition that it may do credit to the
State at the National Encampment.

What They Think Of Sloane.

As an aid to forming an adequate idea
of how Tod Sloane is regarded in Eng
land, the following excerpt from letter
written by an English racing man to
friend in this city may be valuable:
"Sloano has beaten all records in this
country. | lost money over his m )unts
because he has won on some of the most
dreadful horses in training, wretches
that have never won before and that |
do not think will ever win again until
he returns to ride them.
Anyway, l shall lose if they do. The
English people have simply gone crazy
over Sloane. In fact, they shout like
mad people when he wins, and the pals
that came over with him won pile of
money. Young Charley Dwyer, son OF
the man that was over here with Croker,
has won small fortune"

its most ardent supporters Saturday by

Yale game makes the Crimson the vir-
tual champion of the year. Will Harvard
win? There are two answers to this and
Harvard men are looking for the right
one.
But Yale is not beaten yet. Harvard
realizes that, and by the way in which
all the Yale grads have been focking
back to New Haven in the past week,
they feel that proyerbial Yale brace is
more than possibility.
Good practice at Cornell, such as the
team should have in preparation for the
Penn game, has been prevented by the
number of Varsity men injured. There
has never been season at Ithaca for the
past six years when the team has been
so handicapped. Almost every week
has seen some one of the Varsity men
laid up with an injury.
Attention has been concentrated dur
ing the past week on the coming Yale
game. The game with Pennsylvania
md the victory of Harvard no doubt
will do great deal Of good to the latter
n their game with Yale, as far as the
contest itself goes. Harvard will realize
What she is able to do and will not

'tion of the past week the game with

POE'S FAMOUS RUN.
A Story That Several Wilmington
Foot Ball Enthusiasts will be
Interested In.


Arthur Poe, who on Saturday made
sensational l00-yard run for touch
down against Yale and won the game
for Princeton, will be remembered by all
warren supporters who joHrneyed to
Baltimore with that team.
The Warren went there to play the
Baltimore Athletic Club, and the now
famous Arthur was member of that
eleven.
If before the game in Baltimore Poe
was not known, lie certainly was after
the contest was over, for he did nearly
the same trick as he did on Saturday
last.
Warren kicked off, Poe caught the
pigskin and started on his journey to
the Warren's goal-line, and, after elud-
ing eleven Warren braves, placed the
ball squarely between the goal posts.
This same Arthur Poe has four broth
ers who have all made name while
playing on the Princeton foot ball
eleven.
