THERE WAS NO FIGHT.


Negroes Went to South Wilmington to See
Go, But Were Disappointed.
A prize fight was advertised to he held at
Liberty Hall in South Wilmingto On, Monday
night. Ii was to be :5-round go between
lack Farrell of Wilmington and Joe Burnett
of Washington, both coloied men and the
price of tickets was so cents. One we'll
known Republican lea der is said to have
bought four of them. The prospective fight
hut they were told it would not take place
ut the hall for fear of raid by the police.
Instead of that, they were informed that
a steamboat could be boarded mt luni Der
wharf in South Wilmington and the whole
party could go over to New Jersey and see
the fight out The steamboat was side
wheeler and is said to have come from
Philadelphia waters.
The colored men were piloted to the
wharf by several white men interested in
prize fighting. There they found that
large quantity of sandwiches and beer had
been provided. Some of the men went on
hoard and had some beer and sandwiches,
but they did not remain long.
One of the intended fighters, Joe Burnett,
wanted his money before starting on the
trip and that caused some delay. Finally
the trip was abandoned. the colored MEN
fearing some scheme. Then the beer was
loaded upon wagon and driven away from
the wharf. and the steamboat cast off her
lines and departed. II is SAID that one soil
tary coloreu man went with her.
The steamer Mary u. Citizens, which laid
up at wharf on the Christlana several

THE RAILROAD MEMORIAL SERVICE.
One of the Most Impressive Meetings Evel
Held by the Railroad Y. NJ. Q. A.

One of the Most Impressive Meetings Ever
Held by the Railroad Y. M. Q. A.
The memorial services of the Railroad
Y. M. O. A., which was held ut the Yard
master Cantwell's Office, Third street and
Railroad avenue, on Sunday afternoon, was
one of the best attended and most i'm
pressive ever held by the organization. The
meeting was in special commemoration of
the death of Charles Springer of the w. d
n. railroad, who was instantly killed, over
two weeks ago, at Coatesville, Pa.
Mr.. Springer had originated the Railroad
Y. M. Q. A and it has grown to be of con-
siderable importance. Each Sunday after
noon the yardmaster's Office is crowded
with railroad men and their families, hungry
and announced ahead, and nearly all the
pastors of the several churches of the city
have spoken at one time or another at these
meetings.. Yardmaster Cantwell, Ralph
Hughes. engineer; Mr.. Sillitoe, Mr.. Hickey,
Mr.. Butler und other railroad men are
among the leaders.
Atsthe service Sunday afternoon there was
an extra choir which sang inspiringly many
beautiful and appropriate hymns. "Some-
time Well Understand, Remembered for
What We Have Done," "Meet Me There, j"
we're among the selections. There were two
2O-minute addresses; one by Station Agent
Eben N. Baldwin of Clayinont and one by
lnouhS McOurkie OF WlinlDgGon. Mt.
Cantwell and Mr.. Butler also made shorter
addresses, the concluding address being by
the widow of Charles Springer, who was
profuse in her thanks at the kind words
spoken of her late husband. There were
many moist eyes IS she told of the last
goodbye the day he was killed, and of the
promise that if his dead body should ever
be brought home that she was to meet him
in heaven, that he would wait for her at the
beautiful gate. Mrs. Springer desires to
further the work oil the Railroad Y. M. O..
A. JUST as her husband would have done had
he lived. She mas now moved to Whining
ton.
Over 100 persons have been converted at
these meetings, and much good is being
accomplished. The organization is looking
forward to time when it shall have better
accommodations, and surely it deserves
success

STEAMERS RACE FROM JAVA.
Only Four Hours Difference I'm Run o
$4,000 Miles,

only FOur HOURS ItiHefenCe III a run OF
$4,000 Miles.
An interesting race around the world be-
tween two British freight steamships ended
on Sunday night, when the vessels reached
the Delaware Breakwater within four hours
of each other, having covered IL, 600 miles
The British steamships Baron Elder and
Baron 1nnerdale left java on September 1st
for the delaware Breakwater, their course
being via the Suez Canal, the Mediterranean
Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean. The
vessels are sister ships. that Is, are owned
by the same firm, and are alike in dimen-
sons and power but in some way the cap
tains of the vessels believed that One of
them was faster than the other and decided
to settle the matter.
They were laden with 5000 tons of sugar
each, which necessitated frequent stops for
bunker coal. For days the vessels were not
in sight of each other after leaving the coast
of Java, but they arrived at Suez about the
same time. After leaving Port Sand the
steamers did not sight each other until
arriving at the Delaware Breakwater on
Sunday night. The Baron Elder arrived
first at the Breakwater and her sister craft
about four hours later. During heavy
weather near the American coast the Baron
Innerdale had one of her crew swept over
board and drowned.
