puS o! delaware College last Sun
day evening. the congregations of
the town uniting in this twilight
service. The steps leading to the
orat0ry served as stadium and
We're we'll filled with worshippers.
\ pleasing feature was the congre-
gational singing Of old hymns, in
which every one enthusiastically
joined.
Rey. II. B. Phelps preached the
sermon from 1st Corinthians. 1st
chapter. 23d and oath verses !:
But we preach Christ crucified,

share in the scheme. and after five
days Of open air festivities the dec
oratlons were as attractive as on the

game was in full swing only several
hundred yards away, a good crowd
strolled around the grounds and
literally patronized the attractions
which the management had provid-
ed. Minnehaha Band was present
and entertained the people with
choice selections. There was much
disappointment over the nOn-ar-
rival of Hon. l.. l. Handy. who was
to have delivered an address.
After kilograms and telephoning
the trouble was found to be due to
a late train and Mr.. Handy's fail
ure to make connections enroute
from Cape May. Following the an
nOuncement the Baby Show loomed
into Importance and Immediately
became the center of attraction.
Over fifty babies exhibited all the
charm Of dimple and smile, and
cooed and laughed to the delight
of the visitors. Prizes Of five dol
