Cnnntx Central Committee.

The Democratic County Central Committee
met in this city last Monday. Every district
was represented, and the attendance was large.
AS to the work before the committee there
was some difference among the members.
Some wanted one set of primaries and one
convention. Others objected, first, because
they thought that state and county politics
should not be brought together; and second,
because convention to send delegates to a
state convention would have to be held too
soon to put a county ticket in the field.
Therefore it was concluded, by nearly two
thirds vote, to hold two primaries and two
conventions.
The date for the convention to select dele
gates to state convention was fixed for
Monday, August 31st, at 10 o'clock A. M.
the primaries therefor to be held on Saturday,
August 30.
The committee fixed Monday, September
Dist, for the county nominating convention,
and Saturday, September 10Th, for the pri-
maries.
We believe the committee acted wisely in
calling the primaries and conventions at the
times they did; and, but for the busy time
among farmers, the date for the nominating
convention would have been later still. Four
to five weeks is ample time for campaign,
but now there will be full six weeks. In that
time surely the people can inform themselves
as to candidates and everything pertaining to
the campaign, and be prepared to vote intel
ligently.

WESTMINSTER VS.. MONUMENTAL.
On Friday and Saturday of last week the
Westminster club played two games with the
Monumentals, of Baltimore, and, as in the
two games with the same club last year, lost
the first and won the second. In Fridays
game, which the visitors won by to 3, the
home club seemed 'rattled'' and out of sorts.
They were unable to do anything with Smith,
who pitched splendid game, and in the field
made costly errors at critical points. The
visitors did some very similar playing, but on
cially, although Driscoll was generally effec-
tive. Umpire Grouse was also little off,
and one or two decisions happened to cost
runs; but they were nearly evenly divided,
and there was no warrant for the remarks of
some spectators. Some good playing was
done between times, however. Cabaugh
played perfect game for the home club and
did the best batting Chids led the batting
and fielding for the visitors, making very
remarkable foul catch against the backstop.

Early risers in Westminster will observe
every morning handsome colt, hitched to a
trotting sulky, and driven by John Boylan,
going out east Main street. If they will fol-
low they will find that the little colt is taken
to the race track on the old Fair grounds,
where he is exercised for about an hour.
They will observe that he is game looking
little animal that he trots squarely during
the entire time; that he is quite speedy, with
fine action and does not need to be booted.
This little animal is John Marsh's Hannis colt
Westminster, out of a feet-footed bay mare,
and gives promise of being noble son of a
worthy sire, who has a record of 2. II and was
sold for $40, 900 to his present owner. West
minister will trot in about 800 now, and is
just twenty seven months old, and been driven
but two weeks. He is handsome bay of
fine form, of kind disposition and works we'll

by score of 10 to 3 in an eight-inning con-
test the game being stopped on account of
darkness, not having been begun until nearly
s o'clock.
The game was embarrassing, us the Nir-
ginias took the lead from the first by heavy
batting and maintained it throughout. The
stop of hot ball by Bankert and the excel
lent work of Zecker were the features of the
game. A home-run was made by Greenwood
in the eighth inning. The Firginas can't be
beat on their own grounds. The score by
innings follows:
Virginias .........4 0 0 0 2-1O
