unknown man, several membersl OF
the Opera Company now playing at
Brandywine Springs are enjoying
Joke played on George Nathanson
member of the troupe. For several
nights this week an unknown man has
been seen lettering around the home
OF Mrs. Mary Woodward, who has
boarding house at the Cedars, and the
residents there were somewhat ner-
vous until Thursday evening when the
robber scare reached a climax. On

dinger, Q. Setliff and Charles Kelley,
decided to play a joke on their fell
low member Nathanson and hid his
clothes, watch and a pin.
When Mr.. Nathanson reached home
after eleven o'clock he missed the ar
ticles and at once a search was insti-
tuted, the rest of the boarders join
ing in it. After hunting for several
hours, during which time the owner
of the clothes was worried, 1t was
decided to let Nathanson into the
joke.
In the meantime the stranger is
prowling around and the residents Of
tie Cedars are on the lookout for him.

LIKE THE WINNER

After a 225-mile race from New
York to Camden, N. j.. the motor
boat Mary c. crossed the line at Cam
den at noon today, the first boat in.
The Chelwood. which won the race
from Wilmington to wildwood last

handicap over the Inevitable. the
scratch boat. and the Chelwood has
nine hours and "A minutes handicap
allowance The Mary c. passed New
Castle at s.36 o'clock this morning,
and the Chelwood at 500 o'clock.

Chelwood ahead of her in the official
calculation. The Mary c. arrived In
Camden at 1928 o'clock and the Chel-
wood at 1877, and this it is believed
will make Chelwoed winner of the

not be announced until other boats
with an hours greater time allow
ance arrive. ChelwoOd Is owned by

will be received at the Wilson Line
wharf by a squad of officers and
chauffsr from the local garage of the

row repair shops for about three
weeks learning the parts OF the ma
chine and how to repair them.
BY invitation of Chief Black the re-
porters of the local papers will b.

ance will have to become first aid to

manner in which wounds should be
treated and bandaged.
The machine is of 40-horse power
and will be fully equipped, including a
speedometer. The latter may not come
with the machine but the police COM
missioners feel that it is necessary to
know how many miles the machine
makes in a month.
The new patrol will be photographed
and a cut of it will be used by Chiei
Black in making up his annual report
The patrol station at the foot OF
French street will be abandoned as
