SPEAKING of the values of real
estate we should like to hear, while
on this subject from some of the
old time builders such as John B.
johnson, Jerry Winslow, Geo. H.
Tindall, Archie Reed and others as
to the declining value of Whining
ton real estate. In the resident
part OF the city the value of realty
has been for years on the decrease.
In some cases it has been slow,
while in other localities few dwell
ing houses would to-day bring Us
much as they We're sold for by the
| builders.
| While this is a well known case,
tho city and county assessment has
| been raised year after year AID the
property owners compelled to pay
a high assessment when there was
noequity in such assessments. This
is one reason why property i'll Will
mington has not increased as it
should and made more attractive to
investors. Activity in the real es-
tate market would make the city
just that much better off and make
paying taxes that much less Of Il
burden.
Owners of small properties are in
a much better position than owners
of large properties, which rent for
$25 or $50 month. When rent
amounts to over 500 a month, in
nearly all cases it will not pay 5
per cent on the investment. The
small houses that have been pur-
chased at forced sales for one third
or one half Of what it cost to build
them, will pay the owner fair per
cent on his investment
We believe that real estate can
be made AS attractive and more So
than when the late Joshua r. Head
was alive and one of our most pro-
gressivereal estate brokers. Ground
that was sold 20 years ago by Mr..
Head, in numerous instances will
not bring what it was sold for by
him. taxes and interest added.
This is no general complaint all
over the Witty, not a section being
exempt. There is sufficient wealth
in the city Of Wilmington to give
our city better and larger stores.
Said one of the most progressive
store keepers in our city to the wri-
ter, if the merchants would wake
up and not be afraid to spend Il dol
lar and enlarge their stores on Mar
ket street, not half of the persons
who now go to Philadelphia to pur-
chase their goods, would think Of
spending their money there. There
are too many five cent merchants
in Wilmington who are afraid to
spend $500 OF $1,000 in printers ink
i'll II year. Is it any wonder they
, are still III the same old ruts their
fathers We're i'll 80. years ago: We
tank not.
TIE business men of our city are
not much concerned about our hAr-
bon. At least only half Il dozen
business men attended the meeting
called by President LnwrUn Of the
Board OF Irtieon iiuniNA morning.

COMPETITIVE -"
DRILL.

The Wilmington Military Academy
cadets held competitive drill yesterday
afternoon. The judges were Lieuten
ants E. G. Parks, of Company A.; j.
W. Reed. of Company G., and c. NJ.
Dillon, OF Company K.
The drill was held in the Wyckoff
Hall ield,and Company B was march.
ed TO the centre.
Major Rlackford then assumed com.
mand and put the cadets through the
various foot and arm movements, both
by command and by numbers. On
making three mistakes the cadets
were forced to leave the ranks, and
as the number gradually dwindled
down the interest grew intense. 1t
was expected that some of the young.
er members of Company B would be
forced to retire from fatigue, but they
pluckily held their own until forced to
retire owing to mistakes in tine execu :
tion. At last but two remained, Cadets
Frank Seeley and Philip Easley, and
one of these will receive the medal. AS
both executed every moment appar-
emily without break, opinion is
pretty equally divided as to who will
be the winner.
Company A was next ordered to the
centre Of the field, and this contest
was even more exciting than the first.
The number gradually became small
er until only Cadets Whitenack, Rom
nell, Foote, Grubb and Lloyd remain
ed. OF this number Lloyd was the
first to retire on errors, followed by
Foote and Grubb. The contest be-
tween Whitenack and Rommell then
was tiercely waged and so perfect were
their executions Of the commands
that it is difficult to say who will re-
ceiye the medal.
In the junior defamation contest
yesterday Charles Gibson was award
ed the gold medal and Cadets Stone
and Seeley received honorable NEIL
