Mr.. Whiteford said the Gardens

The cafeteria, said Mr.. Whiteferd,
is entirely within Mclean Gardens,
and no one can complain that their
property is affected adversely. The
cafeteria is not intended as COM
mercial restaurant, the lawyer said
1t has no sign and does no adver-
tising. Nevertheless, Mr.. Whiteford
added, many residents in the area
use the restaurant, as do employees
in the neighboring branch Office of
the General Accounting Office.
Mr.. Whiteford said 1850 persons
in nine dormitories at the Gardens
have no cooking facilities, and that
the nearest regular restaurant, at
Wisconsin avenue and Macomb

of 80. The Gardens apartment

eral attempts were made after that
to repair it but the necessary funds
were lacking and the property that
not less than $4,000 had been
spent on, was finally sold to Mott,
Otis and Cardrey Co. for $110O.
Gideon E. Rothwell took up res
idence in the hotel acting as watch
man until 1898. After that date
the property rapidly went down.
Doorfs, windows and lumber were
carried away by llnscrupulous per-
sons. Most serious of all was the
rapidity with which the water line
was approaching the building. The
owners decided that the only way
to save their property was to move
it to Woodland Beach The FAM
Gus old four-story building, con-
tanning forty rooms was torn down
and removed to Woodland by
means of lighters, to repair the
hotel there and to build summer
cottages. Thus the last vestige of
old Collins Beach is gone.

ito date can be given as to when it
FIRST became a public resort, but it
is known that it dates back many
years previous to the building of
the old hotel in 1850 Years before
that date it was the custom of res
idents of the surrounding country
to drive to the beach and spend the
day fishing and bathing. Jolly pic
mic parties made it their favorite
retreat and the old steamers Ne
polan" and Kent, the latter sunk
in a storm, in 1874, frequently
stopped at Deakyne's Landing,
Smyrna Creek and the passengers
made their way on foot to the
Beach. In 1849 the owner, Mr..
George Collins conceived the idea
of making a public bathing place,
but it was not until the following
year that these plans were fulfilled,
when the hotel known as the Hy-
genia House and other buildings
were erected and Mr.. Collins son,

brother of George d. Collins pur-
chased the entire property and ran
it until June 1873, when it was
leased to Levi c. Grieves, who ran
it until September of the same
year. In the meantime the pier
shown in the cut had been built
and as the beach in front of the
Hotel was washing away, tons of
stones were filled in. This pier,
however, was swept away by the
tidal wave and hurricane of 1875,
which was spoken of as the most
disastrous storm in the history of
Delaware. All buildings except the
Hygenia House, on the left, were
carried away. The loss amounted
to seven or eight thousand dollars.
Since that time the Bay has wash
ed the banks away at that point.
The distance then from the Hotel
to the waters edge was about 100
yards. When it was torn down in
1904 it was scarcely more than fif-

With Three Jumping
Courses Completed
STEEPLECHASE STAKE

Delaware Park, where the 1947
race meeting will begin on May 20,
will have a jumping race every
day, new departure for the track,
and one which will establish the
longest period of through the field
races at any course in America.
The announcement was made by j.
Gilber (Gil) Haus, new racing Sec
retary, following conference with
President Don Ross and General
Manager Bryan Field. As is ira
ditional, Delaware Park will run
thirty days, and new hurdles
course has just been completed,
Haus revealed. This gives Della
ware the unique distinction in this
country of having three jumping
courses. There is the usual two
mile steeplechase course, the large
championship or cup course which
goes out into the country, and
the new hurdles course which will
be within the oval of the track
proper.
New Steeplechase Stake
To inaugurate the new plan,
which more than doubles the num-
ber of jumping races at Delaware,
there will be a new steeplechasing
stake established. At present Del
aware Park renews the $500 In
dian River Steeplechase Handicap,
and the $4,000 Georgetown Steep

tion a pier was built in 1856. The
"Dalphin", Jersey Blue" and Hell
en- Getty" facetiously called Helen
Forget U.s., were the pioneer
steamers to land there. They were
the old sidewheelers of the type in
use on the Delaware at that time.
However, during the winter of
1856-57 huge ice pack formed
around the pier, pulling up the pill
ings and carrying it bodily out to
sea. This was the first of the long
line of disasters that Collins Beach
underwent.
In 1857 Mr.. Collins was succeed
ed by Captain Peter Carr, who held
forth until 1860 when he was sue
ceeded by Captain Levi Coverdale,
who held throughout the dark days
of the Civil War. Shortly after the
