THE COLONEL Is ANXIOUS

Cold weather, which has frozen the
ponds aud covered the rivers with winters
garments, has tingled through the veins
Of Colonel ]. Harry Rogers, the octogen-
arian skater of New Castle, and has
reawakened his sporting instincts. The
Colonel has issued his yearly challenge to
skate against any person, age inmaterial'
and Abe Oppenheimer, Of Philadelphia,
in particular. Abe Oppenheimer, also an
octogenarian who does ''stunts" on
skates, has done much to uphold the
glory Of the Quaker City and the world Of
winter sports.
So far as is known, he is the only
"bny" of the Colonels age who dares
question the latter's prowess on the ice,
and SO between the two sincere rivalry
has long existed.
Challenges have passed between tie
two and have been eagerly accepted. but,
owing to chain of unfortunate circum-
stances, the old experts have never raced.
The championship is still undecided.
Both of the "boys" have chafed under
this uncertainty, particularly Colonel
Rogers, who feels that his standing has
been assailed on bluff" And SO he
has challenged his old rival again.
Throughout the entire State the Colonel
is regarded as the greatest ail-around
amateur skater on record, age not con-
sidered. Knowing this, the Colonel feels
that the question of superiority should be
definitely settled.
He is anxious to meet the Philadelphia
champion at any time or place Mr.. OPP
penheimer chooses to name. He will do
plain, fancy or long distance skating, or,
II desired, will indulge in trial Of speed.
Money to any amount can be found to
back him, and he personally will wager
$500 OH the result. If this is not suffi-
ciently alluring to Mr.. Oppenheiner, the
Colonel declares that he is ready to wager
any amount, even if he has to mortgage
his farm for the purpose.

GOOD ROADS In DELAWARE

The following is an extract from an
address delivered before the Peninsula
Horticultural Society, at Newark by the
president of the society, A. N. Brown. Of
Wyoming:
GOOD roads in relation to horticulture
is Of ever increasing importance. No
product OF the farm suffer such injury as
our horticulture product in their trans-
portation over the roads. Growers are
now realizing this, and they are not only
demanding good roads, but macadam
roads. The loss in my home county the
last fruit season was sum sufficient to
have built many miles Of macadam roads.
Having had unusual opportunities
for observation l believe the loss to
growers delivering fruit to Wyoming
station, was sufficient to have macad-
amized the main approach to the
town for several miles. The common
dirt roads, built in the best possible
manner, will not stand the traffic over
them for one single week in the heighth
OF the season. Our salvation lies in the
gravel or macadam road; nothing short
of this will answer. Under modern inn
proved methods of fnanciering, these
improvements can lie built without any
increase in the present appropriations for
road purposes.
"Had the citizens Of Kent County,
Delaware, 20 years ago borrowed $780,
600, they could have built 120 miles
OF road. This would have given the
county two roads running parallel with
each other north and south, from the |
New Castle line to Sussex; and eight |
cross roads running parallel east and |
west about I2 miles each in length. This |
plan would accommodate 80 per cent. |
Of the fruit growers of the county and
with their annual appropriation Of $685.
600 they could have paid the original
debt with interest at per cent, applied
s., 600 annually to the nlaintainance of
the improved roads, and have over $780,
OOO left, with which to have improved
the unimproyed roads Of the county"
