STEAM TO MAKE
EARTH FLY FOR
ATHLETIC FIELD

When Samuel H. Baynard sr.
member OF the Board of Education
and also member OF the Board Of
Park Commissioners made the remark
in the regular meeting of the former
body last night. following comments
made by President Shortlidge Of the
board to the effect that Wilmington
was behind the times. compared with
western cities. but that steam shovels
would be at work in Wilmington
within a few days. most OF the mem
bers of the body did not understand
the remark
Today is was learned that Mr.. Bay
nard proposes 10 make at his own
expense, one Of the biggest athletic
fields i'm this section of the country.
The ground he will turn into this pur-
pose is in park land. along Eighteenth
street, between Van Buren and
Broome streets. A portion of this
land between Van Buren and Frank
Ii streets is above grade. i'm some
places as high as twelve feet while
the land between Franklin and
Broome streets, is below grade. Il is
Mr. Baynard's intention to cut off
the hill and deposit the dirt in the
hollow. thereby making level
stretch of ground of about thirty
acres.
Some idea of the size Of the field
may be CLEANED from the fact that ten
baseball fields may be laid out aside
from tennis courts and plots for 9TH
er athletic sports.
Mr. Baynard has awarded the con-
tract for grading the ground TO James
Logue and the latter had purchased
steam shovel with which TO do the
work, and il is expected here within
a day or two
Mr.. Baynard is taking much inter-
est in the project and intends that the
field shall be the finest in this section.
The grading Will approximately cost

equally true that we resigned at the
meeting held on Monday morning

reasons stated IN the article
As Curators &c was our duty TO ar
