Two hundred and fifty employees Of

left here on Saturday by train for
Chester, where they embarked aboard
boats and barges for GibbstOwn, N. j.,
to attend the field day sports of the
company. Employees of the Repauno
Chemical Company, Gibbstown plant,
met the local employees on landing and
a march was made to Crab Point Inn,
where luncheon was served. The To-
cal party left at 1132 o'clock for
Chester over the Pennsylvania Rail-
road and arrived at Gibbstown aboard
the tug Harriet, the steamer Heodel
and a large barge shortly after noon.
Following dinner the local employees
and those from GibbstQwn gathered
at the athletic field, where the base
ball game opened the afternoons pro-
gram. The Wilmington team lost TO
the RepaunO team by score OF to

stars of the diamond in the lineup,
