He is the oldest male citi zen of prominence residing here, and was therefore receiving many con gratulations from friends. Mr. Jones children and grandchildren were as sembled at his home yesterday, and last night many friends called to ex tend to him their, compliments. Mr. Jones is in excellent health, is active ly engaged every working day in the year, and no one es j ys a j ike better or has a keener sense of humor than he. He has been Grand Treasurer of the Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows f r twenty years, and is also a Past Grand Master and Past Grand Representative of the order. The Shaw Last Nit at. Railroad Jack" a very sensational comedv drama, was seen by a fairly large-sixed audience at tbe theatre last night. It was sot as bad as one or two shows thst have been to Wil miner ton this season, and several fea tures that were really amusing crept in during the progress of the perform ance. The "real live lion was on hand according to promise, but it was a disappointment to many that he aia nnt atraear until the last act. They should have been allowed to! have BAen him sooner.

Tues day afternoon, at 3 o'clock, in the reading rooms of tbe Sailors' Home, c rner of Front aad Dock streets. Tne meeting was organised by calling. Mr James 8pruot to the chair and Col. W Wo d ward to act as secretary.! The Rev. Dr. A. D McClare .opened th- proceedings with a most earnest and fervent prayer. The President, Secre tary and Treasurer, Librarian and va rious committees submitted their re- -oorts and on motion of Mr. James P'ce the same were received and or dered on file. The reports are as fol lows: ! president's bepobt. The 8eamea' Friend Society of Wil mingtoa bas sustained its good work for 49 years, and to-day ia assembled at ita annual meeting for the purpose or hearing the reports of Its officers, and of shaping its course for another year which will be its semi-centennial ann yersary. j Tne one borne building with rooms 'or 125 sailors has been well kept by (he superintendent. Tne religious ser vices nave been raub fully maintained at 3 o'clock e vury 8unday during the ost year, and tbe general work or tbe few earnest members who have! con tinued with unflagging s-tal to promote the best interests of tbe sailors in this port, is shown and recorded in tbe annual statements presented foriyour e lDsideration. By actual count the Su da v service has been attained bv 3 393'persona during the oast sear fuere h s been a steady increase in the number of worshipp-rs and visitors to the reading room for 7 years, I with one year's exception, the total of 7 Tear being 41,437 men. How much good has been acc mplished by these srrvices and by tbe attractive and comfortable reading room, in wbicn they have been temporarily held. can tot be estimated now, but will be shown when the sea shall give up its dead and when the King at the ifioal reckoning shall say "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of tbe least of tteae my brethren, ye have done it unto me." I For several year past the Bethel building, which was presented to the society nearly 50 years ago by tbe Ute Uaplala UUbert rotter, has been uosafe for use on account of its dilap idated conduion, and it has been tbe d sire of the trustees for a long time to repair tbi9 useful place of worship in a substantial and attractive form. Those of us who began this excell-nt work in the prime of life are growing tray in tbe service and cannot exoct to continue much longer in this! field f usefulness; it therefore behooves us to repair without further delay the damage to tbe Brtiel biilding, using such mans as we have and can obtain from others interested in the cause and in order that we may. if spar -d. e'-j jy tbe privilege of celebrating our 50iO anniversary in a new burjdiog dedicated to this holy cause. To this end I would epcally recommend that a building committee be appoint ed by our new Board of Truiees to btain plans and estimates fori the building, tbe lower flwr of which may be rented for commercial i pur poses, and tbe second fl xr fittingly oeautified for the stvcm and glory of God.

Specimens are All Fine and tbe Aseocls tlon Deserves Every tncoaragemenL Chickens Hstcbed While Yon Walt -Local Exhibit. a The second day of tbe Poultry and Pet Stock Show at the City Hall yes erday was not one whit behind its distinguished predecessor, the opening day. Many people are commenting upon the exc-Hone v of tbe dirplsy and the very admirable i manner in every re--p-ct in which the fair is being man aged. T ia hall is as neat as a new pin and the specimens in the hundreds of coops certainly appeal to those with an eye for the beautiful. Tne Asso ciation, under whose auspices the show" it given, deserves unstinted praise and very liberal patronage for its indefatigable efforts to interest Wilmington people in fancy poultry. in which undertaking members have already succeeded In a large measure. Among the many varieties of birds exhibited are the Houdon Polish White Face and Spanish Hamburg; Blue Andalusisns; Black and White Minorcas; Buff, Red and Brown Log- horns; Buff and White Plymouth Rocks ; Silver and Golden W vandottea ; Partridge Cochins; Light Brabmas; Indian, Warhorse. Pit, Red, Duck- wing, Gray and Deep Creek Gray Games; Pekin ducks; Chinese Brown geese; White Holland turkeys; Brooxe turkeys; Bantams, "8ilkies," Pea fowls and parrots. Among the entries of pet stock are exhibits of Cavies. Guinea pigs, white, gray and black rabbits, and a number of very fine dogs, ranging from tbe fox terrier to President Sam Davis' fine greyhound, "Jip " A number of the hounds on exhibition are from the kennels of the Wilmington Fox C ub. Mr. R. L Simmons, the judge. finished his labors last night. Tbe prise list shows that the Wilmington birds came off well in the contest and won a number of prises. The pre mium cards have been tacked upon the coops, so that it will be easy for visi tors today to know the prise winners in all the classes. Tbe birds are all magnificent specimens and some of the winners exceed anything of the kind in afze and condition ever seen in this part of the country. To-day will be a big day at tbe show, as the people who have visited it have gone away and talked so about it that everybody in tbe city will visit tbe exhibition to day. The number of admissions yesterday was some thing over 900, but to day is expected to be tbe ''biggest" of them all, as the fair closes to-morrow. An interesting feature of the exhibit ia an' incubator in tbe southeast corner of the room in which little chicks are being "manufactured for display while you wait." This exhibit is the product of the ingenuity of Mr. Frank L. Huk- gins, a prominent member of the As sociation and a leading fancier. Five dosen eggs are ia tbe incubator and they were placed there long enough ago for the hatching process to be in full blast to-day. Mr. Huggins is agent for tbe incubator used, and -of course will explain its merits to all interested.
