Horses Suffer

The terrific heat of the past
week has been particularly hard
on the horses in the harvest fields.
Five deaths have occurred among
the stock in the vicinity of Ok
;ord. The following is clipped
from the Oxford News:
A fine draft horse belonging to
Walter Armstrong, of Fair Hill,
went really crazy from the in
tense hot weather. They were
working this animal to "a hay
loader and noticed that it was act
ing strangely. Finally, its actions
became SO peculiar that they un-
hitched it and in an instant the
horse was tearing across the fields.
1t ran to the Fred Armstrong
place, dashed into the barnyard,
tore through a fence there and
finally plunged into the creek,
where it lay on its back in the
water. The harvest hands had fol-
lowed the runaway and they were
able to drag it out. The animal
was soon able to get on its feet
although it is still suffering from
the effects Of its prostration.

Mr.. Rose Presented With Fine Watch

Mr.. d. c. Rose is proud man
and he has reason to be.
The Newark Trust and Safe De-
post Company appreciating his
services to the bank, presented
him with handsome Howard
Watch. And they do say that no
man carries Howard unless he
has done something. There have
been perhaps more Howard wat
ches presented Tor recognition OF
some service performed than any
watch on the market. This is no
ad for the Howard watch nor Mr..
Rose-neither of them need it.
Mr.. Rose has new watch, and
it means something-that is suffi-
cient to explain the smile.

NEWARK STILL WINNER

Newark again demonstrated on
Saturday the fact that it outclasses
the teams that are brought here,
when it defeated the Thurlow A.
A. by the score q: I3 to 1. For
the benefit Of the sport locally it
would be better to get stronger at
fractions if that is possible, even
though much more guarantee has
to be paid. With Newark Win
ming every game easily by large |
scores it will only be a question of
time when the fans will lose in
terest. There is no doubt but
what teams of some reputation in
the semi-professional class would
draw much larger crowds and the
difference in the cost Of the at
traction would more than be made
up in the extra receipts.
Although not a word was heard
against the honest intentions of
| Umpire Crow, there was much
criticism over several decisions
that he gave in Saturdays game.
Some of the fans thought that the
visitors were given the short end
of several decisions but the UNI
pire no doubt gave his decisions
as he saw them without favor to
either club. His opportunity OF
better seein gthe plays however
would be increased should he run
with the ball more on plays on
| the bases.
There are many fans who would
like to see Geoghegan, the young
'phenom'', up against a strong
team with considerable batting
strength, so that the youngster
would have a better chance tc
show Just what he has on those
south-paw shoots. Many easy
propositions like Saturday would
spoil him and now is the time tc
put him up against fast club

DUPONT MAY
BUILD TWO ROADS

An extraordinary session of the
Delaware Legislature may have to
be called II certain exigencv
arises concerning the construc-
ton of the S., 100000 dupont bou-
levard.
Citizens of both sides of Sussex
county were here today clamor-
ing for the road. The boulevard
lines have been drawn with a fork
IN the main road ia or above
Houston, so that two boulevards
may thence extend southwark,
one along the eastern border and
another along the western border
of this, the biggest county of the
State.
Now it develops that General
DUPONT cannot build both lines.
The legislative act amending the
general incorporation laws to give
him eminent domain through the
State only gives him one right OF
way and not two. He must start
to build the boulevard by July IS,
or pay heavy penalties to the
State, and already steam shovels
are at work on his new 55-acre
gravel and metal farm in Sus,
sex, working out the material
needed for foundation work.
Governor Pennewill is extreme
ly anxious that both sides of Sus.
sex should have the big improve.
ment if General dupont feels in
clined to build it-tllat neither the
eastern nor the western part 0
the county be left out of the biz
opportunity while it lasts. He is
therefore, OF the belle: that tl
Legislature could and wouclo
amend this boulevard bill in two
days of sitting and give both side!
| the chance.
| However, General DUPONT ha
not yet expressed himself as t.
his choice. He must file his sur
vey and he, therefore, will have K
speak soon.
Meantime both sides of SUISSE:
are gettingb usy. 1t is said her
today that syndicate headed b
John G.. Townsend and others ha
secured a solid right OF way fror
Selbyville to Georgetown, twent
miles, as gift and inducement t.
