CAULK CLUB SOCIAL COLUMN.

The monthly meeting of the club
was held on Friday evening last. The
furnishings for the new rooms were
discussed and the question of the
purchase of a billiard table came in
for quite a heated argument. It was
decided to purchase a piano instead
land possibly at some future time this
decision will be appreciated bv the
billiard table agitatOrs as sane and
logical. The amendments to the by-
laws respecting the admission of as
sociate members were again discussed
and a few minor changes made. These
amendments will be drafted and voted
upon at the special meeting tonight
friday. The tennis situation was
again discussed and the cOncensus of
opinion is outlined in the following
paragraph.
This tennis discussion is reported,
not only for the benefit of the club.

thinking persons who privilege them
selves to the use of the clubs tennis
courts and the accessories and seem |
to forget that their use is a courtesy /
of the club. Different members have |
reported that on several occasions |
have, without permis-
sion, implied or spoken, taken the
nets, balls, etc, taken "squatter"
rights to court. forgotten that mem
bers were on the bench waiting to
play, and then gaily marched away,
leaving the racquets, nets and balls
wherever a convenient spot showed it

LOST Law DISCOVERED

At the time the Code Commission
revised the laws of Delaware a few
of the statutes were inadvertently left
out, and it has been the general opin-
ion that the law prohibiting dogs
from running at large in Sussex Coun-
ty at certain seasons of the year was
one of them, as it could not be found
among the game laws of which it com
prised part. Residents of Sussex
County have therefore believed that
this law no longer exists, but it has
just been discovered among the police
regulations in the new code, and
while it is not in the proper place
it is a law just the same, and dog
owners should be careful not to vio-
late it.

EARLY APPLES PAY WELL.

The prices for the early harvest
apples which have gone to market
from Delaware this week, have been
very satisfactory to the growers. At
Bridgeville the prices on Wednesday
last for good grade apples in hamp-
ers averaged about 81 per hamper.
"a hamper contains about two small
peach baskets of apples). Several
carloads have been sent out daily
from Bridgeville.
At Wyoming the largest shipment
in any one day was fourteen carloads,
and the price ranged from so cents
to $1.20 per hamper Frank Bancroft
shipped a carload each day in the
early part of the week, and a car will
hold about $50 hampers when stow
ed for carrying long distances.

sion consisted of singing, readings, I
