POINT SCORER

by the dealers of Wilmington was
held at Thompson's bridge yester-
day. 1t was one Of the most success
full affairs OF its kind ever conducted
in this section. In addition to mo-
torcycle events there was a number
of track and field and novelty events
for men. women and children. The
entire program was enjoyed with
not a single incident to mar the day.
More than 80 motorcycles and 10
automobiles carrying over 100 mo-
torcycle boosters made the run to the
scene of the outing from Rodney
Square. The program started at IL
o'clock in the morning and wound
up at o'clock in the afternoon,
leaving not an idle moment for those
who wished to be entertained. The
only intermission was for lunch.
All of the events were open tol
any one who wished to compete and |
each drew large entry lists, some Of |
them being so large that trial heats |
had to be run. Many OF the camp
ers and others on the grounds at the
time participated. Handsome and |
useful prizes were awarded TO all
place winners and every event was
closely contested.
The motorcycle events proved OF
great interest TO the spectators and
after the program had been COM
pleted they asked for more. The
pillow fight for men and the chicken
fight for women proved amusing
Mrs. Charles Dawson was awarded
the cake for holding the lucky num-
ber and the crochet basket went to
Miss Mary Angelo. a little girl from
Rockland. O. Woods was the for
tunate one in the contest for the
motorcycle shoe.
In the mems division e. II. Cloud
captured the honors for being the
highest point scorer OF the day, be-
ing closely followed by other con-
testants who were but one and two
points behind. Miss Burns and Miss
Defibaugh tied for first as highest
point scored in the women's division,
and a flip of a coin gave Miss Burns
first and Miss Defibaugh, second.
Dealers Mckinney. Minnick,
schnepfe and Van Sice acted as ref
erees and judges and were lavish in
their distribution OF ice cream
tickets to the motorcyclists. The
roping off and marking Of the course
before the arrival Of the picnicers
drew much favorable comment.
Those who won prizes and left
before they were distributed can
have them by calling on f. II.
Cloud, 1910 West Second street.

torcyclists leave for Riverdale
Beach, about nine miles from Mills
