CTILL IN THE FIELD.

This year we offer to the trade the above
we'll known brands of Fertilizers, the merits
of which are attesed by some of the most
prominent farmers in this and other States
We can bug materials cheaper, and have
better facilities for manufacturing than ever
before, and therefore can place upon the
market frst-elass goods at a very low price.
We guarantee these brands to be of the past
good standard. Owing to the low price of
wheat and the depression of business gener
ally, we have made liberal reduction in our
prices, in order to place our Fertilizers within
the reach of every farmer, feeling that in
creased sales will fully repay us for the re-
duction in price.
We will deliver to any station on w. NJ. R.
r. our "Smith's Raw Bone Phosphate" at
$33 per ton, crop time; our ''Smith's Soluble
Phosphate at $24 per ton, crop time; and
our "Smith's Dissolved Bone" at S35 per
ton, crop time. Remember, we pay the
freight on these goods at these prices. MA
liberal discount made for cash. See our cir

On Monday next the Westminsters will go

ground, to contest on the diamond with Bar
MES famous Orioles, which have been
strengthen by six new players since the
Westminsters defeated them here last June.
In inviting the Westminster club to play at
Bay Ridge, Manager Barnie stated that they
(the Westminsters) were the only club in the
state that could give his professionals good
game. Excursion rates have been arranged
on the Western Maryland railroad, and it is
likely several hundred citizens of this city
and county will go down to whoop up and cheer
the boys.
The Trentons played fine game on Thurs,
day, and could have shut out the home team
had they tried. They did their best up to the
last inning, when they made three or four
errors which let in run by Miller. The
Trentons left yesterday morning owing to the
rain.
The Orioles dressed off the Virginias On
Thursday, by a score of IA to 2. The Virgin
las are the leaders of the Eastern League,
with the Nationals second and Trentons third.
We don't believe the Orioles can do it often,
though Barnie has team now that is team.
