The clash of interest in "A Breezy Time," with its fine band and orches tra will be seen at the Opera House New Year's day, matinee and night, is brought by the fact ihat the creditors of a young college student have pur sued him out of town, and that the girl he loves has done likewise.

Heme's "Sag Harbor" has been considered by most of the able critics who have seen it a bet ter play from the higher art stand points than even Heme's earlier fa mous work "Shore Acres."

She sailed from this port on December the 6th with a cargo of lumber for Stam ford, Conn.

Her only mishap during the voyage was the losing of a part of her deck load. It will be remembered that Muter George Shepard left on the schooner with Capt PennewelL The safe ar rival of the vessel through the stretch of bad weather is due largely to the caoabilityof Capt.

His Bay Trotter Tador Chimes Wss the Stsr Attraction On tbe Speedway. Won Many Heats. The following clipping from the New York Evening Telegram of recent date will be read with in terest by many Wilmingtonians: Mr. A. B. Gwathmey and hia bay trotter Tudor Chimes, 2:13, recently purchased at a long price as a pole mate for Tiverton, were the star at tractions at the 8 peed way yesterday. It was the owner's first appearance in several weeks, and he seemed to thor oughly enjoy riding at speed over the firm, smooth surface, uis trainer. John Howell, was behind Tiverton, and as the two horses have shown so fast together to the pole, the owner was anxious to see them pitted against each other in single harness. "The horses proved as cioseiy matched In single harness as when harnessed together, and although Tu dor Chimes won each heat, it looked to a spectator as if Mr. Howell could have made the pace just a trine taster with Tiverton, even if he had not been able to win. It is never consid ered quite 'good form' for a trainer to finish in iront or nis employer, un the other hsnd, it must be remembered that the two hortes had many keen contests before Mr. Gwathmey made the purchase, and Tudor Chimes never lost a heat except on two occasions, when be lost his stride."
