sign OF a let-up. Balls fioated about in
teeing and fair greens, and in some in
stances the holes were completely sub
merged. The two big matches We're
between Miss Rhona Adair the British
champion and Miss G. Bishop of
Brooklawn, and Mrs. c. T. Stout (Gen-

the Merton Club. Miss Adair and Mrs.
Stout each won, and to-day win see
the meeting of Great Britain's leading
exponent and Americas best player.
The match between Miss Adair and
Miss Bishop was unusually interesting
during the earlier stages. but as is
usual with the former she niayed a
strong finish. At the turn the British
er was one down. She. however. did
not lose another hole. and taking tho
eleventh to the fifteenth. inclusive. she

Clad in his khaki riding suit and
wearing a rain coat John Philip Sousa,
the March King. who has spent almost
four days in Wilmington, boarded the

station this morning.
Having been overtaken by the rain
storm while riding from New York TO
Washington on horseback, the musician
was forced to stop In the city much
longer than he had anticipated. The
partial clearing weather this morning
tempted him and his companions to
ship their mounts to Elkton by train
and continue the journey to Washing
ton In the saddle from that place.
When seen at the station by an
Evening Journal reporter this morning
Mr.. Sousa said although he was anxi-
Gus 10 continue his journey he left Will

gret. He continued: my impromptu
stay has been one OF pleasure and

which Delaware is famous. and which

TO FILL IN CHERRY
ISLAND MARSH
Continued from First Page9


head is to be built and the shore and
from there the mud viii be pumped BY
another large pipe dredge on the
marsh. The mud IL left where il is now
being dumped, it is said, would soon
liow back and an up the shoal again
and IL is for this reason that the gov
eminent wants to pump Il ON Cherry
Island marsh, as the bulkhead win
probably not be completed for q year
or so.
The dredge that is to pump the mat
ter on the marsh will not likely start
to work for several weeks This is no
little job as holes viii have to be cut
through the bank for the pipes. II
VIII be through these pipes that the
material will be pumped and dis
tributed on the noted Cherry Island
marsh land. The dredge that will do
this work can remain I'm one spot for a
week or so at a time and pump the
mud. 1t is said the dredge can dis
tribute the material TO a distance OF a
mile and a quarter.
When everything is in readiness for
the second dredge TO pump the mud on
the low lands il will start I'm next TO
Fourth street and work up towards
Edge Moor. The marsh is to be filled
in before the work of filling I'm be-
tween the bulkhead and shore Is
started.
Another important matter con-
templated is the building OF a large
bank along the South side Of Shellpot
creek to the railroad. This creek Is
the only drain that Cherry Island
marsh has and this Is to be done tc
keep the mud from filling up the creek
II is not expected that more thar
several hundred thousand yards o
mud will be removed from the shoa
before winter sets in but the work vii
be resumed with a rush early in tn
spring.
