READING.
Wilmington Police Pay a
Return Visit to the Police
Of that City.

sion of the visit Of the blue coats from this
city is a'return visit on account Of the
Berks county blue coats being here some
weeks ago. The police and invited guests
and friends left on a special train at g. 30
| o'clock this morning over the Wilmington
and Northern Railroad. A feature Of the
visit is the base ball game between the op-
posing mines composed OF policr officers
from the Reading and Wilmin gton forces,
A few years ago Sergeant Charles E.
Evans and the police reporter Of the RE-
PUBLICAN suggested the idea of . game of
ball between the policemen. A letter
went to Reading md Mayor Weidel felt
that it was capital idea whereby the two
cities could be fraternalIy united. The
visit and return visit was paid. Tho next
year saw the same good feeling exercised
Then the people of Reading saw fit to
maze u political change and Republican
Mayor succeeded the Democrat Mayor.
a change took placo in the political ccln-
plexion of the head of the Wilmington
police department also. But friendship
scars above political bias aud the same
friendly feeling .wa1 shown again this
year. The entire uew force of Reading
was invited and the night men and the
heads Of the city departments and guests
came to Wilmington. Her policemen
were equal to the occasion ald enter
tained the visitors In a manner worthy of
De!aware's chief city. Bsrks county pride
mas stirred and an invitation to visit Read
ing was extended to the police department
of Wilmington. That invitation was ac-
cepted aud that is why our blue coats are |
among the hills of Pennsylvania today.
