The committee are engaged in making exten.
sive preparations for the coming centennial, and
all things bids fair for gala time. The race
course has been putin excellent condition aud
everything win be done to make the whole afiair
success. The Tournament on the first day
will be made up Of knights from this county,
Charles, Prince Georges and Calvert, and, il Is
more than probable, there win be a full repre-
sentation from all Of these counties. A brass
band will be in attendance on the field and ut
the Tournament ball At night. The Races, on
the End and3rd days, will be the main feature
Of enjoyment, and this, from what we have heard,
will be - great success, no less than thirteen
horses being in training. Some horses from
Charles are expected, and to-day we noticed q
"clpper," just arrived from Virginia, which
makes US fear for the laurels Of Blue Dick and
Winder. All the matches advertised will have
full entries and even the mule race will come In
for It's share. In word, the coming centennial
is all the talk here, and the committee are active
ly engaged in perfecting every arrangement look,
ing to time Of fun and sport. The nights will
be filed with music and the Tournament Bali
and Buekiey's Ministries viii keep US all in a
merry round Of pleasure.

The death since our last publication Of Thorn
Spencer, Of the 9Th district, calls upon US for
something beyond mere passing obituary men
ton.
Thomas Dillow, who departed this life on
Thursday last at the age Of 70 years, was born
in the kingdom Of Great Britain and came with
his family to the United States when about IL
years old He resided in the State Of New York
where, in the city Of Troy, he learned his trade
as a wheelwright and, remaining for short time
after his majority in Albany, he settled in Bati-
more, and afterwards came to this village about
tie year 1888, q young man about Is years Of
age, and entered industriously upon his calling.
Very soon his exemplary conduct won for him
the good will Of the community and laid the
foundation Of his future success in life. He mar
ried not long after taking up his residence here
EIeanOra Taylor, young lady from Baltimore
city, who died in the year 1874, leaving son
and daughter whose pleasure and delight have
been to remain with their devoted father through
out his declining years, thus returning, In .
measure, the fond care and kindness he % anx-
iously and laboriously extended to them 20 the
end Of his days. After the death ofhis frst wife,
be married Miss Margaret Norris, ofthis county,
who died several years ago. No man was more
generally known and respected throughout the
county than Mr. DiIlow and there was none more
deserving. Whilst he was man who never failed
10 attend the religious worship ofaIl denOmina-
tons rs opportunity offered within biz reach, he
was not member ofany, until within few days
cf bis death, when he received the consultations Of
the Catholic church, in the communion ofwhich
both bis wives had lived and died.
Captain Thomas o. Spencer, who died on Friday
last at his residence near Town Greek on the
Patnxent river, aged es years. was q son Of the
late Capt. James Spencer, . native Of Calvert
county, who died many years ago, highly res
pected for his sterling worth and manly virtues.
His son Thomas, the subject Of this notice, in
herited in large degree those qualities Of bead
and heart which reever admired BY the thought
tuI In community, and grew mp in = family d
several brothers and sisters under . parental
training whose influence for good was shown to
the world around in the life and character Of
them all. Hischarities though un0btrusive, were
many and widespread. Having 10 children Of
his own, his house was ever open TO the widow
and orphan, and bis greatest pleasure was in
making al happy about him. bis popular
ity was extensive ard he occupied many highly
respectable public positions, among which were
Judge o. the Orphans. Court County Commits

Messrs. Editors While on a visit 10 the low
er part Of the county, had the good fortune to
be present at the series of Lectures on the late
war, delivered by the Rev. J. B. Avirett. The
audience, which collected at MarshalIs Hotel,
Mr. Richard Marshall having kindly offered the
use Of his dining-room, was not as large as was
expected bat still was very good considering the
time and place, the farmers at this season Of the
year being very busy and MaFshall's Hotel ct
rather too great distance for many TO go after
working bard all day. Mr.. Avirett is worthy
OF great credit for the way in which he handled
his subject, happily blending the sad with the
humorous and bringing in mary points Of great
interest concerning the most important battles
of the late war. He gave very vivid descFip-
ton Of the death Of Gems. Turner Ashby and
Stonewall jackson and Of other prominent Off
GERS He also told us, in a very touching man
ner, of q marriage nc old Christ church, Win
chester. in which be took a very important part
he being the happy bridegroom. At this mar
rage every man In the church, with the exeep-
ton Of the officiating clergyman, was dressed in
Confederate grey. The speaker divided the war
into four periods. The first, from the Spring of
6l to that Of 80, he styled the year Of romance;
from tire Spring Of 90 to that Of so, the year Of
heroic bravery; from the Spring Of SO 20 that Of
'64, the year ofheroic defeat and from the Spring
OF "a 10 that Of '65, the year OF hopeless strng-
gle, all thinking men having then concluded that
the cause was indeed hopeless. The speaker, al-
though a true Confederate all through the war,
said that he believed that all things had turned
out for the best, that as for himself he would
not have bis slaves back II he could that the loss
of their slaves had been the making Of the young
men Of the South, that prior 20 the war, young
men were fast falling into indolent habits, think
ing manual labor disgrace. The speaker, At
ter relating many instances Of the heroic bravery
Of the Southern women, closed his remarks, 20
the great regret Of all who had the pleasure Of
listening to him. Mr. Avirett is very eloquent
and forcible speaker, and il author Of the life Of
Gen. Turner Ashby, with whom he was on
terms Of the greatest intimacy up to the time Of
his sad death. | sincerely hope that may have
the pleasure Of hearing him again on somefuture
occasion. w. b. II.
