the Delaware at 11.45 o'clock, a land
ing being made from the uppermost
deck of the steamer to the upper deck
of the battleship. Chairman Wilson
and Mayor Spruance led the party
ashore, and after they had been pre-
sented to Captain Cove, the others in
the party were-introduced to all the
officers of the Delaware. The big
battleship was In spick and span ar

alton to those who visit it. After
about a half-hour on, the Delaware,
spent in the exchange of greetings
aud general conversation, the Will

arrived at Fourth street wharf at

The Delaware left off Lewes at $40

THE PIRATES OF HONGKONe.

There are pirates in Hongkong. Not
the usual kind that greets the gentle
stranger with expansive smile and
takes what he has for worthless rub

as they reckon the spoils.
OF course they do not swagger In

Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May
28.-Probably $4,000 people saw more
worlds records broken at the Indian
apolis motor speedway this afternoon.
Barney Oldfield set a new mark for
five miles for cars of 451 to 900 cubic
inches and Aitken, in a National. set
a new mark for ten miles for cars in
the same class when he covered the
distance in S:O8:03.
Herbert Lytle, in an American, re-
ceived fractured leg and his mechan-
ician, Billy Clifton, was badly bruised
when their car turned over twice in the
free-for-all handicap. The big crowd
was slow in arriving, but it increased
rapidly after o'clock. at which time
it was estimated that ten thousand
people were on the grounds. The to-
tai Of $4,000 was pronounced a conser.
vative estimate.
Track Very Slick.
Oil from the cars had left the course
dangerously slick in many places. and
striking one of these spots is said to
have been the cause of Lytle's acci-
dent.
The big field was sent away at 400
p. m. with Louis Chevrolet in his
Buick, in the lead. Nineteen cars
started, as follows: Pope-Hartford,
Fullex and Fox; National. .Aitken; Ma.

The cars got away at a tremendous
clip, but no new record was set for
the first ten miles. Burman, in a
Buick. led at that mark, at S.14, with
Harroun, in a Marmon. close second
and Kincade. in National, third. The
record is held by Robertson. in a Fiat
