New entries yesterday were Mrs. McCulloch of Bridgeton for the driving contestfor ladies, Misses Ruth and Rachel Sheringham for the misses' riding contest As Miss Ruth is also to run a horse in one of the racing events of the Fair, her appearance in the Horse Show riding contest will be 1 of more than ordinary interest.

The building is of such proportions that it shows its decorations to good adavntage and at the present time is really pleasing to the eyes. The work of placing the pilings for the erection of a wharf at the foot of Pollock street to be used by the boats, transporting passengers to the Fair grounds next week has practically been completed and yesterday a force "bi. carpenters were engaged in placing the flooring.

Washington, Oct. 24, One-third of the farms of the United States are mort gaged, according to a bulletin issued by the Census Bureau. This bulletin shows that in 1910 the total number of farms operated by owners and mort gaged was 1,327,430, while 2,621,283 were reported free from mortgage. The average amount of mortgage indebted ness per farm increased from $1,244 in 1890 to $1,715 in 1910, but the average value per farm increased from $3,444 to $6,289, which shows that the owner's equity doubled. The value of the farms and buildings which were mortgaged was placed at $6,330,000,000, while the amount of morteaees was $1,726,000,000. or 27 per cent, of the vafue. The proportion of mortgaged indebt edness is higher in Iowa and Wisconsin than in any other States, and yet these States are among the most prosperous in agricult ure.

RIDICULES "PANIC BUG. Bryan Says the Republicans Spring the Scare Every Ottober. Wilmington, Del., Oct. 24. William Jennings Rryan spoke here last night, the address concluded a speech-making tour through Eastern Pennsylvania and Deleware. Ten thousand persons assembled at Tenth and Market streets, where an open-air meeting was scheduled. Real izing that the crowd could not get int Turn Hall, the substitute meeting place, Mr. Rryan braved the elements and spoke for 25 minutes in a heavy rain. Men, women and children to. the num ber of about 5,000 remained and heard him. Many of trem were without umbrellas and were thoroughly drench ed. He .was then driven to Turn Hall, whert he made an addret s of 35 minutes. Three thousand persons were packed in the building. At both places Mr. Bryan dwelt upon national topics. He said if' Roosevelt regarded himself as a Moses he must heve mistaken the voice of Perkins for the voice of God. This caused great laughter. A heavy rain prevented a big open-air meeting which had been planed. On his trip through this State he was accompanied by Willard Saulisbury, National Committeeman; Thomas. F Bayard, State Chairman and Thomas M. Monoghan, candidate-for Governor, and others. At sSeaford fully 6,000 person from all parts of Delaware, Maryland and Virginiaflbcked there to here the Com moner explain the fundamental princi ples of Democratic government and give to the Delaware voters the remedy to destroy the "panic bug." which he declared, is given life the middle of October by the Republican party and dies the day. before election. ,"The Republicans," he said, ' always refer to panic times. ; Did they ever tell you" about the panics of 1873 and 1907? These "occurred under strictly Republi can ! rule. , Wi had a Republican Bresi dent,' a Republican Senate and House of. Representatives and'were governed by Republican laws." : ?v He ridiculed the threats of panics in the event of the election" of . Governor Wilson to the Presidencty and urged upon- Wb hearers "the importance of voting the .straight Democratic ticket not only on national'issues but State as weii. ' v o -; A A memtace received late last niirht from his residence stated that. the con dition of Dr. Frank Duffy, who . Is seriously ill at his home on East Front street was slightly Improved and that he was resting easier, Jt ' ; DEATH GOMES WILL SMITH THE BERKSHIRE III SAFE ANCHORAGE Every Compartment, Fore and Aft, Completely Flooded by the Revenue Cutter Seminole EASY TO RAISE THE VESSEL Leuit. Gabbitt Makes Explana tion Regarding Treatment Accorded Passengers The venue cutter Pamlico, which left this port Tuesday afternoon en route to Lookout Cove with a cargo of coal for the cutter Seminole, which has for the past few days been fighting the fire on the steamer Berkshire, re turned Wednesday night. The Berk shire and the Seminole are, now safe in anchorage behind Cape Lookout. The Seminole flooded every compartment of the Berkshire, both fore aid aft, up to the main 0eck. It will be an easy matter lor the wrecking tugs, which were sent o the 3cene from NorJ folk, to raise the vessel. The Berkshire lies in deep water butAwithout a list. Much of the cargo will be undamaged. Lieutenant Gabbitl, who was in charge of the Pamlico it) the absence of Captain Westj yesterday stated that the Seminole's crew had worked con tinuously since the arrival on the scene and were fagged out. He said that following the explosion on the vessel Monday morning the passengers were taken aboard the Seminole and placed on one of the Upper decks where they would not be in the way of the crew, who were at work fighting the nanus, and that the men on the Seminole had but little time to pay any at tention to them at all, that but for the the fact that the lower decks were cleared for action and all the men hard at work -t he rescued passengers would have been taken down below decks, fed and given dry clothing. Under the exigencies of the occasion, Lieut. Gab bitt explained, there was nothing that the Seminole's crew could do for the Berkshire's passengers more than they did do. (Lieut. Gabbitt desired this explanation made as an interiew wild one of the Berkshire's passengers pub lished in the Journal yesterday morn ing mentioned the cold comfort that the passengers of the Berkshire received on the Seminole without stating that the Seminel'screw defended their course on the ground that they had no time or facilities at the monent to look after the comfort of the Berkshire's passen gers.) The Seminole will remain by the Berkshire until the flames are com pletely extinguished and will render all possible aid. MUSICAL COMEDY FOR WEEK OF FAIR Messrs.
