Wilmington, Del, oct. l6.-Even II the

satisfaction Of fghting 1t out to the last

II the size of the gallery counted for
anything, the meeting between Miss Dodd

host of admirers. her game during the
last few weeks easily being the best OF
any of the Philadelphia women. She de-

in Shape for Winter.

Capt George Ball. master of the auxil.
larry power yawl Seabelle, belonging tc
Henry Seymour of this city, has COM
pleted preparations to lay up the craft
for the winter, and she has been taken
to the anchorage in the harbor to remain
until cold weather comes. when she will
be taken into one of the docks at Ben
nett's boatyard. The Seabelle has been
stripped of her sails and all her other
gear. and these with her furnishings
have been brought ashore and stored un-
til wanted in the spring. when the ves-
sci is returned to service.
Capt. Ball has left for his home in Con-
nectfcut to remain until the opening OF
the boating season next year. The Sea-
belle recently returned from two-month
then said she would remain in commits
sion until the middle of the coming
month. The Seabelle is the first Of the
pleasure fleet to be placed in winter
quarters.
After one more cruise to the lower Po-
tomac after fish and game the power
boat Neptune. belonging to Capt. Dallas
Knowlton, will be laid up for the winter
at Deans boatyard. near Alexandria. II
is probable she will be placed out of serv-
ice about the middle of the coming month
Most of the power boats will remain in
service until next month.

MELON TRADE WAS BRISK.

The watermelon season at the 18th

asst for this year. the last vessel to
(. ring melons here. the schooner Karl w.

ow given over to oyster craft, which
re filling the docks and unloading
'otomac river oysters every day. The
rst vessel laden with melons tied up at
ne 11th street wharf August 3 and
rom that time until the arrival of the
last melon boat, about ten days ago.
t9S.30 melons were landed on the
ssharf from III vessels. q
The melon season. the dealers say, was
the best in several years. They were
plentiful and sold at good prices
throughout the season. The active and
iteady demand for melons is said to be
,argely due TO the fact that the season
vas poor one for other kinds of fruit,
melons being used in place of peaches,
p!ums and apples.
LII is stated that the receipts of melons
at the wharf this year Were more than
double the total receipts by rail, though
melons began coming to this market by
rail from the south in June.
