DELAWARE COLLEGE


1t is the wish of the Librarian of Del
aware College to add as rapidly as
possible to the Local History Depart
ment of the Library, and friends of the
College are urged to aid in the work Of
improving this department. Much of
the local history Of Delaware and the
Peninsula has been published in the
form of sermons, addresses, biographical
sketches, and memorial pamphlets Of
various kinds. Such publications are
often lost sight Of shortly after the occa-
sion that begets them, and are rarely to
be bought of any bookseller, yet they
sometimes contain valuable historical
data not easily found elsewhere.
Any friend of the College who has
such publications that he is willing to
give away can do a real service to the in
stitution by sending them to the Librar-
ian of Delaware College at Newark.
There are other and even rarer publica-
tions that would be very welcome addi-
tions to the Library, such for example,
as Fsrris's History of Wilmington, now
to be had only Of dealers in second hand
books. Pictures illustrative of Delaware
and Peninsular History will also be very
welcome gifts to the library.
It is the wish of the Librarian to make
the Department Of Local History really
valuable one, such as may be of use not
only to the students of the College, but
to any one investigating the history of
Delaware or the Peninsula.

Rrain.Food Nonsense

Another ridiculous food fad has been
branded by the most competent authori.
ties. They have dispelled the silly no
ton that one kind of food is needed for
brain, another for muscles, and still an.
other for bones. A correct diet will not
only nourish particular part of the
body, but it will sustain every other part
Yet, however good your food may be, its
nutriinent is destroyed by indigestion or
dyspepsia. You must prepare for their
appearance or prevent their coming by
taking regular doses of Green's August
Flower, the favorite medicine of the

gestion, stimulates the liver to healthy
action, purifes the blood, and makes you

COLUMBIA AGAIN

New York, Oct. 3.-The American
yacht Columbia won her second victory
over Sir Lipton's challenger, the Sham
rock, in hot race to-day over triangu-
lar course of 80 miles in ALL The race
was stirring one from start to finish,
and the Columbia, after trailing the
Shamrock over two legs of the course,
outfooted and outpointed the challenger
on the beat home.
The Wind was about north northwest,
IA knots strong, when the starting gan
was fred. The course indicated by the
committee made the first leg rather
close reach on the port tack along the
Long Island shore, the second q broader
reach toward Long Branch, and the third
leg dead beat to the finish.
From the moment the two racers got
out to their fighting ground and shook
out their canvas Captain Barr kept away
from Shamrock and let Captain Syca-
more force the fighting. Columbia, fly
ing, like Shamrock, mainsail, clubtopsail
and two head sails, held away off to lee
ward by herself and let the golden yacht
do all the playing to the gallery among
the swagger yachts and the crowded
STEAMBOATS, clustered about the starting
line.
With every inch Of her beautiful sails
drawing, the spray flying from under
her bow, the great white American yacht
swept across the line ahead Of the boat
flying the Shamrock. The crossing times

the score of to3. The game was full of
kicking, and the decisions Of umpire
Haman were often questioned, but after
the fifth inning both teams settled down
to ball playing, and the finish was a
clean exhibition of ball playing. At the
end of the seventh inning it was thought
best to stop the game on account of dark
ness, but Townsend insisted on playing
the game out, and Scott succeeded in
striking out four of the six men who
faced him in these two innings, not q
