FIREMEN,.S CARNIVAL
SEASON At HEIGHT
OWING TO RAIN TO BE CONTINUED THREE
NIGHTS NEXT WEEK

"prizes" for the kiddies. The nov-
elites are unusually attractive
and are proving very popular.
"The Silk Stocking Girls" also
have afforded lots of merriment.
In addition to the "babies" that
proved so popular last year, the
management has this year, good
sized toy dogs with tiny electric
lights as eyes. Of course, again,
the youngsters are crazy over
them The mark of carnival dis
tinction this year, instead of the
Charlie Chaplin hat, is feather,
which every dandy sticks in hi"
hat. The merry-go-round, of
never-ending popularity, is doing
thriving business.
The chances on the handsome
Oakland Six touring car are be-
coming hard to get. The car will
be chanced off the last night of
the Carnival. In. addition to the
automobile many other handsome
articles are to be disposed of by
chances, as the only method by
which the committee can realize
the full value of the articles.
Among these are a handsome
centerpiece, about forty-five
inches in diameter made by Miss
Elizabeth Hill, at the apron coun-
ter; a water color painting by
Miss Mildred Ferguson, at the
candy both, a pillow, by Mrs.
Herbert Rutter, and quilt by
Mrs. Beale, at the cake table, and
several articles at the fancy
table; q handsome cut glass flow
! er basket, contributed by Mrs. S.
J. Wright, an olive dish, by Mrs.
Paxson, a flet table runner, by
Miss Margaret Anderson, a ma
hogany tray and cut glass COM
pote. The gift to the fancy table,
which attracted the most visitors,
on Monday night, however, was
the towel embroidered in pink by
Miss Josephine Hossinger, aged
six. The little needlewoman did
the work entirely herself and
amazed all Newark by her clever
ness. The towel sold for S1.00.
The vaudeville show has proved
popular and the management
promises a series of surprises for
. the regular visitor.
The firemen h ave planned
many things for the entertain
ment of the public; it only re-
:, mains for the weather to give the
:. community chance to enjoy
them. The treasurer reports $500
taken in to date.

DEPARTURE FROM

Driving Rain

A dismantled camp on a rainy
day, does not promise to be very
cheerful spectacle, yet in spite OF
mud and a drenching rain, there
was plenty of spirit and good
cheer at the State Rifle Range on
Tuesday. Although practically
every man was wet through and

proverbial "blues" that accom-
pany a rainy day. Instead the BUS

vailed thruout the camp. Shortly
after the visitors from Newark
reached camp, the order for E
Company to move their posses

to at once. The clouds, as a mark

Rain, rain, rain has featured
the carnival of nineteen sixteen,
and still the spirit of the firemen
is undaunted. The cornucopia of
the heavens seems turned earth
ward, and downpour follows
downpour, but the workers keep
on. Each glimpse of sunshine
stirs new hope, and the men fall
to with will making ready the
carnival grounds. One thing the
public may count on an interest
ing, open carnival, every time the
weather permits a few hours of
grace which may be used in
shifting properties and drying
out.

Owing to the torrents of rain, as
late as three o'clock, practically
all non-participants had dismiss

heads perhaps with visions of
horrible, leaping flames, is a
deep-seated respect for deluges of
water, for steady down-pouring
streams, which makes them un-

midst of them. Anyway them came

DR.. Sypherd Declines Call

DR. w. Owen Sypherd, Profess
scr of English at Delaware has
declined a call to the Head of the
Department at Carnegie 1nsti-
tute of Technology of Pitts
burgh. The University of the
Rich City has been trying for
some months to induce DR..
Sypherd to their Faculty and
made a very flattering offer. His
publications and prominence in
University circles is responsible
for the call. His work in Eng
lish has attracted National re-
putation among English scholars
and teachers. In fact, his Uni
versity work is highly recogniz-
ed among English scholars. OF
recent years, he has devoted much
time to English Composition, es-
pecially adapted to the work OF
Engineers. For this, he attract
ed the attention Of Carnegie Of
| ficials.
The local board Of Trustees
have induced DR.. Sypherd to re-
main. There is growing tend
ency that Delaware shall cease
to be Training School for other
Colleges and that Scholarship
and workmanship shall be re-
cognised here and awarded ae'
cording to merits.
