about seventeen acres, and will be
known as the Boulevard extension.
The Boulevard is TO be extended its

through this land, and il is to be the
driveway to the new Porter reservoir.
The site is one of the finest ia Will
mington, as it Is situated on high
ground, with an excellent view of the
Delaware river.
The tract is to be cut up into build
ing lots, of which there will be 14S.
Plans have been prepared and the
streets win be opened up next week.
They will be sold on the instalment
plan or for cash. Frank S. Zane is to
erect twenty houses on the land, and
operations on them win be started at
once.
Mr.. Zane is taking a great interest
in real estate matters in this city, anc
the present building boom in the Ninth
ward is largely due to his efforts. He
has sold 300 building lots at Landlith,
and there are now 25O houses in the
course Of erection in that vicinity by
various parties. The most OF these are
for sale, but in the near future Mr.. zane
will build fifty houses there for rent.

CITY MILK INSPECTOR
WILL Be SELECTED
Walter McEvilley Candidate
for Reelection, Has Made
Faithful Officer

The Democratic members Of City
Council will caucus tonight for the pur-
pose of selecting a candidate for the
office of milk inspector. There are two
candidates for the position, Walter A.
McEvilly, the present incumbent, and
Michael Maloney.
Milk Inspector McEvilly is popular
among city officials, and all those who
know him. He has performed the duties
Of his office without fear or favor
He has not recognized politics or re-
ligion in the faithful performance of
the work connected with his position.
Since his appointment as milk in
epector, the oity's supply of milk has
become all that could be expected, and
is at the present time first-class. He
did his duty. and it is dut to him that
the city has pure milk today. Dis
homes dealers fear him. while those
who are obeying the law feel that he
has protected them. It is doubtful II
the citizens at large know how much
they owe to him.

THAT DELAMORE PARK BATHHOUSE
Park Commission Too Poor to Act Fa-
Vorably on City Councils Request.

At the meeting Of the Board OF Park
Commissioners yesterday afternoon the
matter of erecting a t7athhouse ait Della
moro Park, i'm the southwestern section of
the city, was discussed, but the members
came to the conclusion that the board was
not sufficiently supplied with cash at the
present time ITO undertake the project.
The question was brought up because Of a
resolution received from City Council re-
Ques.ing the commission to construct the
bath.
Councilman Joseph F.. McCameriy was
present and spoke before the board Of the
necessity of a bathhouse I'm nhe south
western section Of the city. He also pre-
scented a long list Of petitioners in favor
of the move. The bath could be construct
ed at cost of about $500.
After the matter was thoroughly dis
cussed the commissioners adopted a reso-
luton instructing the secretary to notify
City Council that the board would be glad
to erect the bathhouse provided Council
appropriate the necessary money TO ac-
complish the work.

BUYING
BETTER MACS
Wilmington Has More Good
Horses Than Ever Before
in Its History
SOME WHO HAVE NEW ONES
Men and Women Now Want Horses
Which Make Good Appearances and
Can Make Good Time-Drive Every
Day Better Than Medicine.

There are at the present time said
a well-known ocal lover of horses
several days ago. "a larger number of
good drivers and road horses in viii

iority of them." he said. are not the
ordinary kind that you eeValong the
street every hour in the day. but horses
that put up good Appearance, and
when hitched to a stylish turnout at
tract general attention. There are also
q large number of fast track horses in
Wilmington this spring, and they are
often driven in the evenings by their
owners along the turnpike or drive
way.
Several reasons are advanced for the
increase of good horses in this city. Ii
is the general impression that the
horse shows which are now being held
annually has more TO do with it than
anything else. II has had the effect of
arousing interest among persons who
heretofore took no especial pride In
horses. and has probably brought de-
sires to cwn fine steeds. a man in
making the purchase takes care TO get
a horse that will compare favoraIbly
with the one his friend drives
Benefit to Health.
Another reason for the increase is
the fact that men who are shut up all
day in an office are beginning TO real
/ ize that a short drive in the evening is
q great comfort, and takes their mind
! from business. ais a man behind a spir-
tied animal has no time to think OF
anything else and properly handle the
horse. There are dozens of young men
now who own teams. and they seldom
miss an evening drive The Kennett
pike seems to be the most popular place
in this vicinity fer persons who are
just going out driving for pleasure.
Z A young man who several months ago
purchased a team, and who goes out for
a short drive nearly every day. recently
remarked that he never felt better
physically in his life, and attributes il
