ments as magistrates of Mayor Ed
ward @. Evans of Milford, and
Americus Belts of Millsboro. Mayer
Evans would have served a four
year term commencing last Dec. 13
in an office for which he bad no
immediate predecessor. Mr.. Belts
would have succeeded Millard F.
Murray for four-year term COM
mencing last Feb. 16.
Judge Green's reappointment
would have been for 12-year term,
commencing last April /.
The General Assembly, however,
has passed a bill over the Cover
nor's veto authorizing two judges
for the court, both of whom would
serve four-year terms. The way re-
nains open for Governor Boggs to
name these appointees, one of whom
must come from each political
party.
Also approved were five appoint
ments to the Board of Trustees of
the Univel sity of Delaware, while
the Senate refrained from taking
to county election boards. Their
reasoning on this trio of appoint
ments was clear: The Departments
have since been or are in the pro-
cess of being abolished and reor-
ganized by the General Assembly.
U. OF ID. Board OF Trustees
Appointed to the university board
were: u. S. Senator ]. Allen Frear,
Jr., of Dover, for a six-year term
expiring Nov. 8, 1860; Mrs. Charles
P. Townsend of Selbyville, for
similar term; John G. Leach of 707
West Twenty-first Street, Whining
ton, for a six-year term expiring
Dec. 2, 1860; James M. Tunnel, Jr.,
Georgetown, for six-year term ex-
piring June II, 1860. and Granville
M. Read of 812 Berkley Road, West
over Hills. for a six-year term ex
piring Dec. 4, 1860.
The election board appointments
that were set aside involved each
of the three counties. Valentine
Okoniewsl1i of 1909 Oak Street, Will
mington, had been named to the De-
partment of Elections for New Cas-
tie County; Earle N. Faulkner of
Rising Sun, to the Kent, County de-
partment, and Sanders P. Darden,
of Millsboro, to the Sussex County
unit.
Bills reorganizing the New Castle
ard Kent County Election Depart
ments have already been enacted
into law over the Governors veto,
and a bill which would carry out
the same step in Sussex County
needs only Senate approval OF the
override before it becomes law

Bryan Field, general manager OF
Delaware Park, hailed the success
of the race meeting. He said:
II don't think there has ever been
a greater success to draw attention
to our home state than that repre-
sented by the distaff big three and
the Delaware Handicap run on Sat-
urday. The name and fame OF the
great race was read and heard from
coast to coast About the amount OF
business, after alb we Delawareans
should remember our small popula-
ton and where our track is located.
We should not be downcast. 1t is
the third best meeting in our his
tory. and let us count our blessings,
grateful that our racing is OF such
a high quality that it annually can
and does attract two-thirds OF our
attendance from the neighboring
states of Maryland, New Jersey and
Pennsylvania"
