We made trip to the Hagerstown Fair
on Thursday last and were well rewarded
for as an Agricultural Fair, and that is
what they all profess to be, it was an I'M
qualified success. .... .
The display Of cattle and machinery
more especially the latter, was the most
extensive that we have ever seen at coun-
try fair and apparently much interest was
taken in that department by the farmers.
The attendance was very large and the
fair has certainly been financial success.
Our people turned out handsomely as
there we're about seventy tickets sold at
this point Oh Thursday alone. II is prob
able that the attendance during the fair
was double that amount. From other
points immediately east and west OF here
also large number came. H
We learn that during the month of May
1884, the society will hold another meeting
and a large number of exhibitors have sig
nifcd their intention to be present with
their wares. This will doubtless be of
more service to machine exhibitors as it
will be at the opening instead of the close
of the season and when farmers are on the
lookout for machinery, whercwlth to &C
complish the summers various works.

OF the Water Works the Westminster
Adnocdte says "A test of the force Of the
water was made by twenty of the fire de
partment, with their new reel and 500 feet
of hose The firemcn filed ont of their
building, and looked like veterans in their
gum boots and coats and leather hats, AS
they marched through the muddy streets
The first trial was made at Western Mary
land College, which stands on a hill 1875
feet high, at the west end. Water was
thrown, by aid of the steam pump at the
receiving pool, more than two miles away,
upon the roof of Ward Hall, one of the
college buildings. The nozzle used was an
inch and quarter. The next test was at
Belle Grove Square and only the natural
pressure was used in the city The square
il on elevated ground also, but the force
was sufficient to throw water over any of
the houses or churches in the vicinity
Near the depot, water spurtcd to height
of about ll5 feet, two streams being
thrown at the same time. A folrh test
was made at the corner Of Main and Court
streets, where two hose sections were also
used Water was thrown over the build
ings in the neighborhood, and over the
City Hotel, the highest building, except the
court house, in this part of the city.
For all this security against fire, for all
the benefits and comforts of this abundant
supply Of pure water, the city pays not
quite 81 900 per annum."
