Activities Among the
Horse Lovers Of Vir-

BY NINA CARTER TABB.

Since the Riding and Hunt Club
hounds had their opening meet at
Normandy Farm on October 81, when
Q. large field" started several foxes
and finally killed" they have not
had q blank day. During the past
month they've had run every time
out and most days have gotten up
from four to five foxes. Much inter-
est Is being taken in the hunt this
season, the fields are large, and the
master, DR.. Fred Sanderson, has given
them great sport.
On Saturday the Riding and Hunt
Club hounds met at the kennels, drew
back on Mr.. Emmit Fosters place, and
started fox in about Is minutes.
They ran through the Foster woods
and fields to cross into Dawson's farm.
From there they went to Mr.. Luther
Fosters, crossed River road into Mrs.
Eleanor Patterson's farm, through her
farm, crossed to Mr. Demerest Lloyd's
place, and ran over that to cross the
road onto the Waters place, where
Mr.. w. Wood lives. From here they
followed Muddy Branch up to River
road. crossed that and denned on Mr..
Hadden Waters farm, after having
had q glorious run of an hour and a
half. They then drew the Welsh place
but did not start another fox, so
hounds were called in two miles from
Travellah.
Those out besides DR.. Sanderson,
M. F. H.: Tommy Cooke, huntsman,
and Mrs. L. T. Hundt and Mr.. Claude
Owen, whips. were Mrs. Nancy Nc
Dowell and her daughter, Miss Elaine

SOME ELECTION YEAR FACTS
Book BY Lowell Thomas Can Be
Had at Sunoco Stations

While hundreds of thousands of
copies of the newest book edited
by Lowell Thomas, have already
been distributed, there has been no
reduction in the demand, according
to officials of the Sun Oil Company
This book, called Election Year
Facts" is a small encyclopedia OF
political information, and is writ
| ten in the clear, concise style, for
which Mr.. Thomas is so famous.
While every effort has been made
to keep the book on a non-partisan
basis, Mr.. Thomas has woven into
its pages many interesting facts
and figures on the American gov
ernment, and included, also, biog-
raphies of the leading presidential
candidates. The Declaration of
Independence is reprinted in full,
all of the Presidents of the United
States listed, and from cover to
cover, every attempt has been
made to create a handbook of
political information which will be
of help to American voters. Copies

obtain larger quantities for class
room study, should address their

CCC CAMP AT
TAYLOR BRIDGE
Crew From Slaughter Beach
Camp to Be Moved to New
Castle County Soon
ABANDON SLAUGHTER'S

w. S. Corkran of Rehoboth
Beach, who is supervising the CCC
mosquito control work in Della
ware, announced last week that the
Slaughter Beach CCC company
will be moved shortly to the Tay-
lor's Bridge Camp in Kent County.
And he also said that no company
would be moved to the Slaughter
Beach camp. Just what is to be
done with that picturesque, we'll
built development, is problem
that must await the pleasure of
Washington. Being on the scene,
and in touch with the situation,
Mr.. Corkran has made his own rec
ommendation. This, as he explain
ed, is brief, and to the point. 1t is
simply to tear down the whole COL
only of buildings from buttress to
bell tower, and write the whole
thing off in one bold stroke. Wheth-
er this recommendation will be fol-
lowed, Mr.. Corkran does not know.
The development would make a
splendid boys camp, he believes.
But then there's the little problem
of finding someone who wants to
start boys camp in that particu-
lar spot, however we'll the CCC
may have drained the nearby fens
and swamp lands. The camp at
Taylor's Bridge, to which the
Slaughter Beach company is about
to move, has had an interesting
history to date. 1t was built nine
months ago at around the same
cost as that of the Slaughter Beach
camp. AS CCC camps go, it is
very nice. But in all the nine
months since it was built, it hasn't
been used at all. What percent
age of the cost is to be written off
for nine or ten months deprecia-
ton, and why the camp was built
so early, are problems which must
be referred to headquarters on the
Potomac. There still remains the
question of what is to be done with
all the other half-dozen CCC camps
in Delaware when the program is
over. Making boys camps of them
is just one suggestion. What re-
mains of the drainage work which
has been done by the Slaughter
Beach contingent will be taken
over by the company at Lewes,
where there is another up-to-date
housing development. The CCC
camps are fairly well standardized.
For the benefit of any interested
takers one of them consists of five
big, roomy barracks, capable of
housing 40 men each, substantial
mess hall and cookhouse, a large
recreation hall, headquarters, offic-
ers' quarters, warehouse, shower
and washroom, latrine, garage, and
in some cases even a blacksmith
shop. 1t all makes 13 or IA build
ings. The land on which the camps
stand is leased to the government
for 81 by the owners.

HALF MILLION
ON STATE ROADS
viii Be Spent During the Fall
and Winter Months by
Highway Department
DOVER BRIDGE WORK

With the addition of the con-
struction of the new bridge over
Silver Lake. north of Dover, the
fall and winter work program of
the Delaware State Highway De-
partment will cost more than
half million dollars. according to
the estimates prepared by the en-
gineers of the departments. The
program as first announced two
weeks ago contained ten projects
with an estimated cost of $780, 900.
Within a few days following the
announcement of the program, an
other project, the widening of the
existing highway from Georgetown
to Lewes. was added to the pro-
gram and this work is expected to
cost close to 100000. Bids on all
of these projects will be opened at
a meeting of the State Highway
Commission at Dover on october
IA and it is hoped to have the plans
for the new Silver Lake bridge
ready so that bids can be received
shortly before the end of October.
1t is expected that the contracts
for the work will be awarded with
in ten days after the bids are re-
ceived. These projects are expect
ed to provide work for close to a
thousand me nduring the remain
ing months of this year and about
half of that number during the first
three months of next year. The
one remaining major project on the
work program of the Highway De-
partment for this year, the con-
struction of an overhead bridge
along the South Market street
causeway in Wilmington, a rail
crossing elimination project, re-
mains in the engineering confer
ence stage with the engineers for

GAMBLING AT THE FAIR
GROUNDS

The side shows spread a large
amount of canvas at the Fair last
week, in this respect the Dover
fair rivaling that at Easton. But
the instructors in the games of
chance, where the first lessons to
many in the art of gambling are
learned, though not heralded by
picture displays, nevertheless had
conspicuous places and were con-
stantly surrounded by large crowds
of men and boys. The tendency to
take a hand in such games is
amazing, to get money without
earning it legitimately. One of
our most eminent jurists remarked
after looking at one of these games
on Thursday that if an indictment
had been found against one of
these games instead of the policy
writrs of Wilmington, there would
have been no difficulty in the way
of convicting the parties.

The State Fair, which is a big
event in Kent county, has come
and gone, and in a financial way
has been a decided success. The
exhibits were considered in some
respects better and in Others not
so good, the result being about the
average of the past several years.
The racing attracts such a large
number of people was not so excit-
ing in the trotting as is sometimes
the case. The dog race and goat
race were highly enjoyed by some,
but by large number considered
a nuisance, more especially the
/ goat race. The weather was fair
and the attendance good OF Tues
day, Wednesday and Friday, but
Thursday was the big day" when
the visitors were estimated at from
eight to ten thousand. The cars
carried from this vicinity on that
day nearly six hundred persons be-
sides the large number who rode
down in their carriages.

HISTORIC ESTATE:
Imaginary visions of George

all pass before your eyes when you
visit this historic Virginia estate.
It is an 1i-room brick mansion in
a setting of ITO acres of fertile
ground with new Silo, barn, and
other outbuildingS. This house is
most inspiring with its atmosphere
and charm of the days of long ago.
In each room there is an authentic
fireplace, and I can we'll imagine
the cozy winter evenings one could
spend in front OF them. The wide
lawn shaded with aged old walnut,
sycamore. and m aple trees,
bounded on all sides by aged box
wood, is just another reason why
you will be thrilled with the beauty
of it all. Not only is this estate
interesting from an historic angle.
but also from the financial pos
