The agricultural readers of the DEMOCRATIC
ADVOCATE will be gratified to learn that one
county agricultural fair, at least, in this State,
has been a grand success. The Cecil county
fair, last week, was one of which the enter
prising and intelligent farmers of that region
may well feel proud. The writer has attended
State fairs in Maryland, Delaware and Penn.
sylvania, but he is constrained to say that the
fair at Elkton surpassed them all. Every de-
partment of the exhibit was full and reflected
the highest credit upon the managers and ex-
hibitors. The attendance was large through
out, and reached, on the last two days, as
high as ten and twelve thousand. The re-
ceipts were $4,000.
The evidences of progress on the%eninsula,
both in Maryland and Delaware, are visible
on every hand; town and country alike evlnce
it. Middletown, Del, is making rapid strides
in population and improvement. 1t is favor
ably located in the centre of a wealthy and
populous region, and enjoys an active trade
with large scope of country. 1t is directly
Wilmington; has two fine hotels, printing
office, two banks, several thriving manufac-
turing establishments, some very handsome
private residences, a commodious and lmpos-
ing town hall, three fine churches, Methodist,
Presbyterian, and Episcopalian, to which has
recently been added a neat Catholic church,
a desideratum long felt in that community.
1t is supplied by the priest at st. Francis
Xavier, in the vicinity. Middletown is one of
the handsomest towns on the peninsula, and
is destined to become one of the most enter
prising and populous.

The State exposition of North Carolina has
been the means of attracting large amount
of New York capital to the State. Several
persons representing syndicates of Northern
men are negotiating with the various exhibit
tors. One man purchased for piano manu-
facturer half a million feet of black walnut
lumber. from Mcdowell county, paying cash
for it. Another agent has secured two mica
mines for some Utica New York; investors,
while the sale of three gold mines is reported
by agents from Davie, Buncombe and Mitch
ell counties Cyrus W. Field is at the head
of the syndicate which purchased one of the
mines. The importance of this exposition
may be estimated when it is known that S10,-
0O0, 600 has been invested in the lumber, to-
baceo and agricultural regions.

On Tuesday last the largest crowd of the
season assembled to witness the great game
with the Baltimore "0rioles.'' The latter is
the strongest club in the state, and among the
best in the country, and came up with the
full intention of blocking the home team out,
putting Emslie in the box for that purpose;
but they were rather surprised by winning
only after an uphill fight of ten innings, in
which they narrowly escaped defeat. In the
first inning the Westminsters made three err
rors, and yet shut out their opponents. Greer
opened with beautiful hit, stole second and
third in the most daring manner, and came
home on Longs hit. He scored again on
errors in the third. In the fourth inning
Miller's nice hit made Burns want to pitch,
whereupon Emslie promptly resigned to him
the box, out of which he was pounded with
equal promptness. Byers, Houseman and
Nicholas made singles, and Greer two
baser, which, with a base on balls and Mil
ler's hit, mentioned before, gave the home
club five runs, four of them earned, and put
them in the lead by runs to 3. Emslie
went back in the next inning, and by the ex-
ercise of all his skill, kept the Westmiusters
out for the rest of the game. The Baltimores,
like the home club, were in batting humor.
but it took their hardest hitting, combined
with several unfortunate errors, to win the
game. The fielding of the home club was
often remarkably sharp, and more than once,
with men at third and none out, the visitors
went out without scoring. Greer and Nicho-
las probably led in the field. The infeld
played admirably, Bankert perhaps excelling.
Miller played finely, but was off in throwing.
Stearns behind the bat, Goldsmith at. first
and Manning at second, did the best fielding
for the visitors. Greer's batting and base
running, and Casey's batting, were among the
features. Houseman pitched great game,
striking out Burns and York, the latter twice,
and, though the visitors hit often, their hits
were short and scattered. The day was cold
and raw, making the fielding difficult; never
theless several brilliant plays were made.
The score follows:

To-day Saturday the last game of Base
Ball of the season will be played. The chat

divided and opposed to each other. House
man and Nicholas will constitute the bat

the other. 1t will be hotly contested game,

That pole Ra,s,,-

On Monday night of last week the Repub-
llcans of Westminster district met at Odd
Fellows Hall and organized Blaine and
Logan Club. An aggressive campaign was
decided upon, and it was also decided to put
up poles and flag opposite headquarters.
This was to have been huge demonstration
without apparent effort. The Democrats were
to have been appalled, by the great outpour-
ing of Republicans and the genuine enthu-
siasm of the meeting. All this was to be ac.
compEshed, as far as Democrats were to
know, by short announcement of the pole
raising in the local paper.
In order to get up surprise for the Dem
ocrats, the following circular was issued:
(CoNFIDENTIAL.)
WESTMINSTER, Nd, October It'll, 1884.
DEAR SIR:-Come to Westminster, Satur-
day Afternoon next, at o'clock sharp, and
help US Republicans of this place to raise a
Blaine, Logan and Blair Flag A good old
fashioned Republican reunion is promised.
Tell all your Republican friends to come with
you. DR.. +. KLINK, President
Geo. Batson, Secretary.
That circular was confidential to Republi-
cans. The recipients were to tell all
their Republican friends, and they were
to keep the secret from the Democrats also.
In addition, the Westminster Band was to go
down to the railroad and drum up any crowd
of idlers that might be along the street. The
night before the great demonstration it was
arranged that COL VIM. A. McKellip, VIM.
l.. Seabrook and Harry NJ. Clabaugh were to
address the assembled multitude The Glee
Club-yes, we must not forget that Glee Club
that organization practiced faithfully dur
ing the week, and were to astonish the natives
on the occasion.
Two handsome poles were gotten ready,
and Saturday afternoon came. At the ap
pointed time, 8 o'clock sharp, perhaps twenty
persons assembled. The Band, in their hand
some uniform, paraded from the depot Odd
Fellows Hall, people began assembling, and
by 5 O. clock there were fully 100 persons pres
ent, including Republicans, a few Democrats
attracted by the circus, women and children.
The Band played, the Glee Club sung (?), the
men and boys cheered, but there was not much
enthusiasm, the great crowd did not gather,
and the ''old-fashioned Republican reunion
was failure. The speeches were short, ow
ing, perhaps, to the lateness of the hour and
the smallness of the crowd, as compared with
the one expected, and part of one speech was
made very familiar to the people of Carroll in
1879-it referred to some matter of county
expense.
The issuing of the circular was on the
Blaine plan. 1t was marked confidential"
as some of Blaine's stock jobbing letters he
The Blaine example should have been fol-
lowed little further, and at the bottom
should have been added ''Burn this letter"
