Where did the men come from who acted
as police officers at our late county fair? Certain
it is that very few people knew them, and most
of them were about as we'll fitted for officers as
they were to go through the Mazeppa ride. There
are hundreds of well-known. reliable men in the
county who might have been selected for those
positions who would have been a credit to the
Society and who would have been glad to get the
pay which went to strangers. Let us have q new
deal.

Several smart young men from Towsontown
drove over to Druid Hill Park last Sunday after
noon to see the Immensely wealthy" Spaniard
who was to throw away several thousand dollars
from the balcony of the Mansion House that day.
After getting there they were not long in finding
out that the rich Spaniard was q myth, but con-
soled themselves with the knowledge that there
were twenty thousand other people in the Park
who were as badly fooled as they were. If"Duf-
fy's Malt is half as good as the joke its manu-
facturers played on the people of Baltimore and
surrounding country last Sunday, then indeed
must it be dangerously seductive fluid.
Here is q question we want TO ask the man
ayers of the Baltimore county fair: Is it any
worse to Oner purse OF S0UU lot trOItlDg race
than to make the consideration but $3.50 A purse
of $500 would bring to Timonium some of the
best horses in the country and attract $1,000 peo-
pie any day the came off. purse of $3.50
will not bring this class of horses and people will
not go to Timonium to see such races as all but
two of those were which took place there last week.
The exhibitions should be made attractive; offer
something that will draw large crowds every day.
This plan will pay the Society's debt, put money
in its purse and enable it to make improvements
which are so very badly needed. Try it and see
