Second Day of the Cecil Fair-A
NyeII-t,Onfested Race.

Special Correspondence of Gazette and Journal
ELKToN, June 3.-The Cecil County
Agricultural Society's spring fair was
very largely attended to-day. The judges
of the different departments finished their
labors this afternoon and made their re-
ports. Very good order has prevailed so
far. e. w. Janney, chief of police, re-
ports that there has been no disorder and
consequently no arrests.
The racing began promptly at o'clock.
William VanOster of Philadelphia, acted
as starting judge. The otter judges
were William H. May, William S. Potter.
The first race was for PAGERS for pre-
MUM of $400. The starters were Pearl,
Edith Walton, Eta @. and Lady Fashion.
In the first heat the horses at q couple
of hundred yards from the wire were in
the following order: Pearl, Edith Wal
ton, Eta @. and Lady Fashion. Eta G.
passed Edith Walton at the wire on the
first round, but lost the place again at the
hree-quarter pole. The horses finished
in that order.
The second heat was very pretty. Pearl
again took the lead, but was pushed by
Lady Fashion. Pearl broke badly at the
half mile, all the others passing her. She
soon regained and coming to the front
was only beaten by Lady Fashion by
neck. In the third heat Lady Fashion
took the lead but was soon passed by
Pearl. Edith Walton was third and Eta
G. fourth. The following is the sum-
mary: ..

POLICE CHANGES,
Some OF the Gossip That is Going the
Rounds OF the City.

Since the announcement WAS made that
Commissioner Cottrell had declared war
against Superintendent Lang. police circ'es,
been considerably sgitated, and feeling of
uncertainty seems to pervade the entire
force. All kinds of rumors are Giro n ted,
and among them is one that practical re.
organization of the board will DE made as
soon as the Legislature adjourns, being in
sugursted by requesting the resignaiisns OF
Commissioners Murphy and Morrison, IL not
the entire board. and afterwards rea opoiut-
ing Mr.. Cottrell, and selecting others in the
place of the first two conmic-
sioners. Whatever truth there may
be in this rumor, it is certain
that the expediency of such q step is advo-
Gated OF enly, and tina. pressure has been
brought to bear upon the State officers to
carry it into execution. The names OF the
successors on the board are already men
TONED with some degree OF confidence, and
IL the statements of certain parties, who claim
TO be en- the inside, can be relied upon, the
movement will bs made within the next few
days Some have gone SO far as 10 declare
that refusal TO resign by Messrs. Murphy
and Morrison will be followed by the prefer
ment OF charges for neglect OF duty in the
crnduct of the boards affairs. What action
Messrs. Murphy and Morrison will take on
theproposed resolution asking Lang to re.
sign is not foreshadowed by these members,
but il is safe to say that they
will not concur therein. This may pre-
cipitate a crisis and lead to disrgreea-
bic complications, if not to the
resignation of the mover of the resolution.
In the proposed reoIg anizstion the name of
Sergeant SomeIs igures.cor spicuousy as the
new Superintendent of Police, and Ii is
argued that he can be promoted to the posi-
tioR over his superiors without violating any
rule or precedent, as the board may even 60
outside of the force to select S1perintend-
ent. The mention of Robert Campbell's
name in this connection is hardly necessary,
nor is be spoken of as even remote posi-
bility for the Office. He has developed none
of the elements found in the successful
| Superintendent of Police, and his name has
figured only as by play and for the pur.
pose OF distractlpg attention from Sergeant
Somefs, whose claims are seriously con-
sidered. 1t is safe to say that the Stale
officers would appoint no man as Commits
sioner who possess so little knowledge CT
mani kind as to advocate Bob Campbell for a
position OF such respon sibility.

Bows Sings and Police

From every part of the city come COM
complaints Of mischief perpetrated by boys
with " hat are know as devil slings" Citi-

other children on their way to and from

in not few instances women have been
the targets for the young miscreants
who have TO WORK and who
spend their days on the strests
with these and other toys. YET

sang of boys put in the time shooting at
chickens and q large number of these were
killed, Mr.. Frank Hay, Of Woodlawn avenue
having IL as lost fourteen spring chickensin q

boys 10 vicious are either unwilling or IN
able TO control them, the citizens are inq1ir
ing what remedy they have. The police
should be instructed to arrest every boy
found using one OF these sings, and let the
Mayor try his hand in the art OF correction.

4 Question of Color.

On one or two occasions Willie Eckert, the
twelve-year old son of 7. NJ. Eckert, Of BIS
East New York street, and who attends
scheol at No. Q. has been compelled to march
down the stairs when school was dismissed
with q colored pupil. Acting under inssruc-
tons from his father the lad rsfuei TO
march with the colored pupil, and was sus-
pended from school on the ground that the
refusal was breach of disci pine. The prin-
cir al vas appealed to, and she carried the

SIGN. but consented TO present the
case to the School Board. This body held
an informal meeting on Friday evening, aud
after hearing the facts in the case ruled that
The suspension was UNSUITABLE. Eckert has
consulted attorneys, and will doubtless bring
the matter before the courts in suit for
damages. He holds that the act OF making
his son march with a colored student is
equivalent TO compulsory association, and
this he claims is not only Unjust. but con-
trary to law. The Schools Board appear to
have acted upon the advice bf counsel in the
mat er.

prevailed during the period in which the
