DELAWARE TURF
CLUB IS FORMED
HOFSemsn Band Together TO
Promote interest in
the Sport

Local lovers OF fast horses have formed
the Delaware Turf Club. and have OBJ
taIned a charter from the State Depart,
ment at Dover. The incorporators are DR..
William p Miller. Percy l. Darlington
and William B. Austin. Because Of its
non-prodtable nature the corporation was
not required to have capital stock
the Delaware Turf Club IS an indepen-
dent organization. its object being to
promote racing In the State and to arouse
interest Ia the breeding and raising of
fast horses at home instead Of sending
the brood mares to the West for breeding
purposes
The interest taken In the matinee races
held al Delaware Horse Show Association
dudng the past season has aroused tn,
Wilmington horsemon, owing largely "a
the fact that on the local track there have
been the best matinee races held any
where In the country. A large percentagc
OF the horses that worked during the
season stepped the mile in less than 22
and as the season progressed improved
greatly IN their speed.
It Is believed that by the breeding OF
race horses al home even better results
will be obtained fn tho future. It Is ex.
pected that next year stops win be taken
TO erect stables and club house together
with the installation OF new track.

WANT RIGG TO BUILD
CONNECTING LINK

That Wilmington and West Chester
win be conihected soon by more di-
rect trolley line than that which now
links the. communities seems assured.
Thomas e. O'Connell, the Pennsylvania
promoter who has built thousands Of
miles of trolley lines, and a Philadel-
phia trust company are back of the
project The present plans call for a
line along the Concord pike, direct to
Wilmington and already the promoters
have been assured that the desired
right Of way along the turnpike in
Pennsylvania will be granted The
promoters are now in communication
with John w. Rigg president of the
1Unted Traction Companies, which
lcontrois the Wilmington City Railway
company, and incidentally the Com
, cord pike from the city to the State
Hne. relative TO having the company
Ibuild a connecting line up the pike
10 the junction point at the State line.
Should the United Traction Company
decline TO bull the Delaware portion
of the road, Mr.. O'Connen and the
trust company viii construct the Del
aware end of the road on private right
Of way already assured by Brandywine
hundred property holders. Such road
would be only 500 feet from the Con-
cord pike and would cross the Faulk
and Wddin roads, then traverse the
county road proposed between the city
line and the Weldin road, pass the. new
city reservoir and connect with the
Washington Heights railway at Thirty
second and Boulevard extended.
Brandywine hundred farmers are
confident that the road Will be built
next year. AIr. OConnell, who has
been among them for several weeks,
has assured them that if he can get a
right of way in Delaware he viii eer-
tainly build the road. The farmers
have assured him of their co-opera-
4 tion in the project.
