Club of that place. Bel Air went first to the
bat and scored 4, Aberdeen scoring l. When

Aberdeen nine were at the bat with two hands
out, Mr.. Dallam, the Bel Air catcher, received

Serious Accident-The JOviaI Candi-
date-Fhe Sick List. &c.

Johnny Boyd, Familiarity known to Hartford
folks, where he has many relatives, met with an
accident last week that will cripple him for life.
He was here on one of his semi-annual visits,
and in wandering over the river hills, in the up
per part of the city, failed to notice the improve
ments that have been made, and fell down the
deep cut of the new Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road, distance of fifty feet, on rocky bottom,
breaking his spine and otherwise injurng him
self seriously. He was taken to the Maryland
University Hospital on Saturday.
1t is astonishing how jovial and pleasant men
can be when they want to be, or when it is prob
ably to their interest that they should be. Our
town is over-run with candidates, going around
making friends. They come to your place of
business and rush up. to you the manner of
a girl greeting school-mate after years of alb
sence. Instead of an atfectionate embrace the
candidate seizes your hand tells you who he is,
what he is and what he would like to be, and
then asks you to vote for him.

CONCERT AND TABLEAUX.-The entertain
| ment at the Court House, on Tuesday evening,
| for the benefit of the Fallston and Bel Air
Library Associations, was an elegant affair."

were artistically presented. The former was
under the direction of Mrs. j. Wilson Moore, of
Fallston, and the tableaux were arranged by
Mrs. @. Smith Norris and Miss Bessie Farnan-
dis. The court room was crowded with bril-
liant assemblage of ladies and gentlemen. The
performers were the Baltimore Glee Club, as
sisted by the ladies of Fallston and Bel Air.
The programme opened with q spirited
chorus, "Come See the Day Dawn" by Misses
Ridgely, Greist. Curtiss, Walton and Messrs.
Sumner, Ellicott, Simon and Houck. Tableaux,
representing scene from Desdemona and the
miseries of bachelorhood contrasted with the
convenience ola wife about the house, were
next in order. An instrumental duet, "La
Chase au Lion" by Mrs. J. W. Moore and Miss
Lena Greist was finely executed, Miss Florence
Ridgey sang several Italian songs. Her voice is
very sweet and well trained. She was encored
each time, responding with lively ballads. Miss
Marian Curtiss played most admirably Litolfs
'Spinnerlied, but it did not seem to be appre-
ciated as fully as its merits deserved. Mr. Lee
W. Sumner sang "Here Let Thy Years Flow'
and "The Two Grenaders." His voice is q
pure tenor and he gave so much pleasure that
he was eucored each time Mr.. G. Lewis Ellicott
sang II Love Thee" and was applauded until he
appeared again and sang comic song with fine
effect. Chopin's "Fantasie Imp"omptu" was
admirably executed by Miss l.. M. CREST. The

j. W. Moore sang the song while the tab.
leau was exhibited. "The Shrine of st. Agnes
was another striking scene-St. Agnes being
represented by Miss Jessie Spicer. "Aurora's
Chariot" was one of the finest scenes, Miss
Martha Amos representing Aurora In "Dothe-
boys Hail." Mr.. and Mrs. Squeers were
shown, the latter in the act of administer
ing birthstone and molasses to their pupils
The programme ended with the chorus "HaiI,
Smiling Morn" The entire affair was well ar
ranged, well carried out and the ladies and gen.
tlemen who took part in 1t deserve the thanks
of the community for the generous aid they
have given to praseworthy object.

longs.
