skaters went over the 13-mile
stretch. People from various parts
of the state and adjoining state of
Maryland were there to take part
in the big event or else be a spec
tator. For years this affair was
considered the greatest sporting
event ever held in Delaware.
Mrs. Myrtle Mannering, who has
been clerking in a local store, suf-
fered a severe fall at her home
here several days ago. She was
descending the stairs when she
tripped and fell sustaining severe
bruises and other injuries. Since
then she has been unable to go
back to work, but she continues to
improve and hopes to be entirely
recovered in due time. Her many
friends wish her speedy, perman-
ent recovery from the ordeal.
Travellers still report the odd
signs seen here and there. Here's
one reported at Bridgeville: "An-
gels are made at railroad cross
ings." Another on a shop in Sea-
ford: Respectable ladies have
fits up stairs" And another at
FELTON,: eff you eat here late today
you will be here early tomorrow"
Humble saying-Hospitality con-
sists in a little fire, a little food
and a little quiet-to give you
time to think.
Next week we shall hope to say
something about fine race horse.
It's name was "Streak" and it out
ran all other horses in an easy
way. 1t was in winter and the
sleighing was good, years ago and
this horse drawing a sleigh went
down Commerce street every week
day while there was snow, and all
bets seemed to favor its remark
able speed in those days.

present as a masterpiece of eleg-
ance and rapt attention, the show
will long be remembered for it's en-
chanting scenes and acts. The
whole cast gave an excellent por-
trayal of fine acting and complete
entertaining. Miss Maloney, the
sponsor, deserves much credit for
the clever arrangement and other
highlights of the excellent program
so well presented. 1t was over
whelmingly clear that her sponsor
ing was ideal and that the heavy
applause that greeted the whole
cast showed how well her work
was done. The proceeds go to the
