historic Stage Coach In Line.
On Wednesday the business and
Industrial houses Of the city will have
an opportunity TO show their pro-
gressiveness, when floats gaily decor
ated, advertising the city's business
VIII parade. The feature of this ma
rade will be the appearance of the
ola Peseadero stage coach, one of the
very few surviving relics Of the cary
west which will be entered BY the
Wells-Fargo Express Company.
X c. Miller, the local agent of the
company, after considerable exertion.
has succeeded in persuading the Of
hclais OF the company to send the
old stage coach to Wilmington for
the celebration. The company i'm
pittsburgh, Pa, wanted the old coach
IN that city for a demonstration TO
be held there next week, and the fact
that preference was given to this city
speaks we'll for his efforts TO obtain II.
The old stage coach is to the ex-
press company what the original now
der train, recently exhibited in this
CITY, is to the DUPONT Powder Com
pany. 1t was used by the express
company in the days of the early
west in 1868, before the completion OF
the transcontinental railroad and isl
a sight well worth seeing.
In addition to sending the old stage
coach, the company is sending with il !
the old historic driver, Leon Stone. |
Mr.. Stone has been so closely asso- |
ciated with the old coach that he
seems part of it himself, and 1t would |
not take very strong imagination to |
recall the old days when the coach |
was surrounded with Indians and The |
old driver, then a young man, was
urging the four horses on to safety. |
II is stated that as high as Is pas |
sengers have made journeys in the /
old coach at one time.
Military Day, Thursday. will be /
featured by a parade Of government I
troops, militiamen from Delaware and |
Pennsylvania, cadets from Delaware /
College and members of patriotic or
ders. Added features to this program /
will be the dress parade at Rockford |
