In spite of the rain Tuesday nigh,
that cut off not less than 5000 admis-

close OF Thursday had set another new
high mark in gate receipts and attend
ance. These figures for all but the
closing day Of the fair showed sub
stantial gain over the same four days
of last year. The gain would have
been tremendous had it not been fot
the one rain storm.

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and

Races BY Ssarehiisht Success
Many who attended the fair in the
afternoon remained on the grounds for
the evening entertainment. These ad
others who came solely for the night
show made an audience large enough
to practically fill the amphitheater
which has a seating capacity OF 1900.
An immense esarchlight on top of the
grand stand, lighted the way for the
gailopers in three races. This feature
proved to be an unusually novel and
successful attraction In addition ten
vaudeville acts made up the rest of the
program. The evening performance will
be repeated tonight.
Long Program Thursday.
A program consisting of three har-
ness races, a running race, five-mile
motorcycle. and an automobile race, to-

putting on the vaudeville acts at fire.

added 172 electric incandescents of so
candle-power, rated at S21.4S for 1000
hours year, or all night use.
1T has long been my opinion that
an arc light is not always most desir-
able, especially in residential sections.
What is more unpleasant than to sit
on a porch of a house close to an
arc light on q summer night and
gaze into its brilliant flame and COM
bat the insects IL draws.
For the same amount OF money
now expended we can install 1881 ad-
ditional 40-candle power lights for the
355 arcs in service and have an
equal distribution Of light.
There are cases where a brilliant
light is required and these places
must be safeguarded but Il is my
intention, as well as that of the
members of the Street and Sewer De-
partment TO abolish most o. the arc
lights. installing in their place four
for each arc. This has been done on

would be brief. He had, Mr.. Handy
said, wanted to read a description Of
the commercial value of this city
from the American Gazetteer publish
ed in Boston, Mass. 1897. This book in
referring TO Wilmington said. "Al-
most the whole Of the foreign exports
of Delaware are from Wilmington,
the trade from the state to Philadel-
phia being great. being the principal
source whence that city draws its
staple commoditys."
Mr.. Handy closed by saying that
the city needed a new city charter,

on some one whom the people could

continued. you have a charter, re-

to introduce 70 you Josiah Marvel,

der of the evening"
Mayor a Booster.
AS Mr.. Ross concluded Josiah Mar
vel was introduced as the presiding
officer. He referred to the occasion
of the celebration in a few well-chos-
en- words, after which Mayor Howell
was introduced. The Mayor referred
to the Twenty years sleep of Rip
Van Winkle," saying that this city
while not asleep that long, had dis
played an awakening during the past
two years. The Mayor then referred
to the dupont Building. the Y. NJ c..
A., and the widening of Tenth
street as evidences of a new civic
progress.
In speaking of those things that
We're still to be attained the Mayor
said he favored going ahead in the
municipal building project. He also
urged the people 20 cooperate in the
river front project. The dupont
Boulevard he said would bring thou
sands of visitors here and this would
mean thousands of dollars left with
the merchants. Mayor Howell also
said that more police and a traffic
squad are needed. He then referred
to the efforts Of late former Mayor
Spruance in advocating a hospital for
contagious diseases, saying that we
should have one. The address came
to a close with the Mayor urging a
general boost for Wilmington.
Chairman Marvel i'm introducing
George w. Sparks, president Of the
Street and Sewer Department, drew
attention to the fact that the Street
and Sewer Department was respon-
siDle for the new lighting plan. He
paid a tribute to Mr.. Sparks whom he
! referred to as "a minute man OF
old; one always ready to serve his
state county and city at, minutes

under the conditions of the weather
that 10 minutes will be sufficient for
you tonight.

1907, found a desire to clean up the
street of poles, the burial of wires
and better lighting.

find means to better this and we la
bored until the Tungsten light was sc
improved that It became a CONNER

tional cost Of ~ cents per lamp we
substituted the old 16-candle-pOwer

Mr. Sparks in speaking of other i'm
provements said that municipal con-
duits in Market street and elsewhere
were his second vision. This matter
had been referred TO the old City
