SykesyiIIe Items,

Mr. Frank Brown will exhibit q herd of
Devon cattle, numbering thirty, at the HageFs-
town Agricultural Fair. Later in the season
they will be exhibited in the Southern States,
commencing at Richmond and ending at New
Orleans. This is the best bred herd of the
kind in the United States.
The minerals of Carroll county have figured
largely of late in the press of the country.
If the minerals were mined for their worth,
and not for speculative basis, we think it
would be better for cur county. The land
around Sykesville is rich in iron and copper
ore. Mr.. Brown will exhibit at New Orleans
specimens from his Springfield mines. The
truth is mining has not been profitable since
the Republicans have controlled the country.
All they want is gold and silver, and that out
of the pockets of the people. The change
will soon come. Democrats now feel conn.,
dent of success. This Congressional district
will give DR.. Shaw an old-fashioned Demo
cratic majority. His fitness for the position
is conceded on all hands. We hope every
Democrat in the county will vote this fall,
and the same interest be taken as in local and
state contests,
There will be a grand Odd Fellows demon
stration here on Tuesday, October 2lst, under
the auspices of Springfield Lodge No. 1874
Lodges from Baltimore and Howard counties
will take part in the procession. Taylorsville
Band and other music is expected. Speakers
stand and platform will be erected on the new
hotel site 1t will be gala day for Sykesville.
We are promised an elegant drug store in
the village shortly; also cigar manufaotary.
Negotiations are now pending for other i'm
portant improvements There will be two
millinery establishments. one by Miss Ellie
MelIor and the other by Mrs. McCrone.

The third game between the Westminsters
and the York club, played last Wednesday,
resulted in victory for the visitors by the
fielding and bad base-running, but it contin-
ued interesting until the ninth inning, when
the visitors ran away with the ball and doub-
led their score by series of hard hits.
Avery, who was put in to pitch by the visitors,
was knocked out of the box by the first three
batters. Conway was then substituted, and
proved too much for the home club. Byers
and Miller, at second base and short. though
they made four errors, did perhaps the best
fielding, putting out seven and making seven
assists between them. Nicholas caught with
out passed ball. behind an unaccustomed
pitcher. Pierce and Vadeboncouer led for
the visitors. The score follows.

Mr. Thaddeus C. Blair, Republican nomi-
nee for Congress in this district, was in West
minister on Monday. He will be defeated by
several thousand majority.
The Blaine and Logan Club, of this city,
are practicing campaign songs, much to the
annoyance of the neighborhood of their head
quarters. AS it will be only a temporary an
noyance property will not depreciate much.
A tin pan accompaniment might improve the
noise.
The Republicans, knowing that Blaine has
no show of carving Maryland will endeavor
to trade votes for Cleveland for votes for Blair
in this county. Democrats should not trade.
If they vote the regular ticket Cleveland will
have all the majority necessary. DIR. Shaw is
entitled to every Democratic vote particularly.
He has been foremost in all contests IN be-
half of the Democracy for twenty years, and,
by securing the additions to the Court House,
has save Sl2. 900 to the taxpayers OF Carroll.

Yesterday, friday afternoon. when the
ADVOCATE was put to press, the Westminster
club was contesting with the Texas, Baltimore
county, club-the club that claimed to be the
champions of the State.
On Tuesday afternoon next the Westmin-
ster club will play the Baltimores, of the
American National Association, one of the
strongest club in the United States. The
home club will no doubt be vanquished, but
if they play their usual game it will be an in
teresting contest. This will probably be the
last game of the season, and lovers of the
sport should be sure to see it. Such clubs as
the Baltimores never or rarely play away from
large cities. The Western Maryland Rail
road issues round trip tickets, including ad-
mission to base ball grounds, at reduced rates.
The colored clubs of Reisterstown and
Westminster will play a game on the Associ-
alton grounds here to-day Saturday at p
o'clock. Lots of fun.

Shutting Out The B. And o. Road.

An official of the Pennsylvania Railroad
says that the discontinuance of the Baltimore
and Ohio trains on the Pennsylvania track to
New York simply means cutting off unpro6-
table train service. On the other hand, Mr..
G. X. Lord of the Baltimore and Ohio road
says that the service was profitable. ''The
average number of through passengers" he
says, ''on the two trains which were run
specially for the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road were in excess of any of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad through trains. The true
reason for the action of the Pennsylvania
Railroad in arbitrarily depriving the Balti-
more and Ohio road of train facilities, was
the fact that their new line between Baltimore
and Philadelphia is rapidly approaching COM
pletion, together with the fact that the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad have been able to
secure such facilities in the vicinity of and
west of Pittsburgh as to seriously affect the
revenue of the Pennsylvania railroad, as their
monthly reports will show"
The New York and Philadelphia extension
is being rapidly pushed, and when this line is
opened it will become a formidable COMPETE
tor of the Pennsylvania Railroad for travel
between Washington, Philadelphia, and New
York.
The Baltimore Sun intimates that the Bal
timore and Ohio road may conclude that the
advantages which induced it to enter the
trunk line pool no longer exist, and that a
fierce railroad war may soon begin.
