pleasure of the success the newly organ

able grounds on which to play visiting
clubs. The grounds secured are on East

the best in the town. The diamond has
been scraped and when the finishing
touches are put on it will be the best
grounds the boys have had in many
years. Efforts are being made to have
the first game on July 4th. If arrange
| ments can be made, we will have two
games on the afternoon of the above
date. The Benedicts and Bachelors will
play their second game on the new
grounds on the afternoon of July 4th,

Delawareans who have visited the Pan
American Exposition at Buffalo are not
at all pleased with the Delaware fruit ex-
hibit They think that, with the $500
appropriated by the State, better slow
ing should be made. If better one
cannot be made there the Delaware
people who have been to Buffalo want
the present exhibit of fruit removed.
According to some Of those who have
seen the exhibit it consists of eighty-nine
plates, each containing four apples, two
strawberry plants, two pots of dafodils and
picture of one of the down-state oranges.
The critics Of the exhibit say the apples
shown, when. they were in Buffalo were
far from being fine specimens. 1t is ex-
pected, however, that when the peach
crop comes on better exhibit may be
made.
