BALTIMORE, May 10Th, Bs5
Messrs. Editors The spring races bein a. |
day at the Pimico course, for which Natue hs |
supplied beautiful weather. The atmospAreis |
perhaps the warmest thus far of the season. Quite
a large number of persons came to Baltinre to
see the opening and went out to the track. hire
we're no drawbacks on account of selling pos as
against the law. Those who wished coul,sl
them in Baltimore either day or night, or ontle
grounds, without molestation, the Court of No.
peals having annulled the decision made inhe
court below some time ago. The whole MAR,
therefore, was perfectly free. I am glad ta<g
that great care has been taken to keep eyerythnt
in the best of order. The track was in admirable
condition. 1t could not have been better for q bs
ginning. The audience was of the very best and
most respectable. ALI present were especially graf
flied. Pimlico may now be put down as among
the most attractive places Of that kind of sporting
in our country in management and everything
else. 1t is really, to great extent, Baltimore
county affair, being patronized by citizens of tina
section more largely than any other. Persons cal
now go there by various convenient and pleasant
routes, by rail- on horseback, in carriages or afoot
as best satisfies them, in very short time Th'
accommodations in every respect are very com;
plete especially those of the Western Marylant
railroad, so also the Northern Central. There
no longer any reason now to prevent those VII
desire from going to Pimlico, and am GLAD
notice that many embrace the opportunity. SIM
small affairs, once annoying in some degree, ar
wholly done away by getting rid of the cause.
therefore, congratulate the president directors ant
managers generally of the course for their success
with the belief that it will continue to increase
The appointment of Mr.. Veazey as our pct
master gives very general satisfaction to citins
of all parties. I have known him several yrs
and can say this with pleasure. He is intelgat
conservative, thorough in business and wholly e.
liable. He will have no difficulty in giving te
required bond. The same may be said of is
deputy, Major Allison. Mr.. Veazey will take is
place as postmaster on the 31st of May. So fans
am able to learn quite number of the preset
subordinates and carriers, who have disehaksd
their duty as officers WE'LL will be retained. As a
general thing they were in the army and molly
Union men. Some of them have known nlny
years and can say most earnestly and cheerly
that they have been very excellent faithful CARERS
better could not be gotten. 1t seems propethat
such humble employees ought to be old soliers.
Those of them, however-if there are any-un
faithful, deserve to be turned out. I feelvery
confident however, that Mr.. Veazey will d his
duty to all and crafty the people.
It appears that Mr.. Raisin, an old line DINO
crat, possessed of much influence, Mr.. GeorgeCol-
ton, and good many others are getting ,eck
quite prominently again into the party. Mr.Oi-
ton is considered the leading man and most lisly
to be successful in getting the same office he DIV
holds as chief of the Police Commissioner Bofd,
at the next election by the Legislature, which ill
be the next session. He has many friends nd
wants no other place. The same may be sait OF
Mayor Latrobe, who is active and determined to
make bold push to get the Mayoralty of Bsti-
more at the next election which, from presentn-
dications, he will get, if given to Democrat.
I regret very much to say that f. w. Baer,
who has been driver of the street car which ms
across on North avenue, from Greenmount aveue
to north Charles street, for some two years, ded
last week suddenly of heart disease He was an
humble but most faithful, honest man. He
never complained of pain or being unwell mti
taken sick few moments before death. He lac
eight children, the oldest II years, the younes
only 3 months. He was poor but bore what val
more praiseworthy than gold-an admirable char
acter, distinguished in all things for honesty
His remains were inferred in Smyser's grave yard
near York, Pa. knew him WE'LL He has driver
me many, many times in his little car and Away
faithfully. May he rest in peace.
The funeral of Mr.. B. F. Ulman took place yes
terday and was very largely attended. He iat
the fortune of rising to great wealth in the pas
quarter of century and was highly spoken OF b.
those who best knew him. During the late va
he did much business in the provost marshal
office in Baltimore.
Over one hundred-probably one hundred IN
ffty-fne new houses are about being erected il
the vicinity of North avenue, in the county IN
city, east of Greenmount avenue. 1t will max
quite pretty, attractive place. Improvemen
progresses also rapidly on the same avenue west
ward as indeed in all that region in and Out Q
the city limits. The houses rent well.
am glad to notice that advices of the prosper
ity and fine appearance of the growing crops
grain and other things this year all over the cour
try are quite encouraging, both at home an
abroad, not overlooking our own State. Thus ia
the season of rain and moisture has been good Q
could be desired. NESToR.
