Horse Flesh VS.. the Bicycle.

On Thursday evening there was an in
teresting race between horse flesh and a
bicycle, in which the horse proved winner.
The race was between Mr.. W. L. Seabrook,
on his bicycle, and Mr.. Jos. A. Waesche, in
his buggy. The distance was between nine
and ten miles down the pike to Sandy Mount
and back Mr.. Waesche started at the top
of the Fair Ground hill, and Mr.. Seabrook
started at the Washington road, some 200
yards behind. The latter was not in good
condition to keep up his speed, and gave up
the race on the return trip, coming In some
time after Mr.. Waesche. The latter drove
the distance in So minutes, or an average of
about $50 to tie mile. This was fast travel
ing for more than a nine mile trip, and
proved his horse good one. The animal,
too, was not in good condition for such a
race.
The race was gotten up about noon on
Thursday. Both gentlemen happening to
meet at the ADVOCATE office, and the day
being a fine one for tilt, the banter was

One Year of Democratic Rule.

On the S0th of June the fiscal year of the
government ended, and, as it is the first full
year of the Democratic administration, the
statement of the results is of unusual interest
The statement lately issued shows that the
national debt was decreased to the amount
of SOC ,O97, 766; that the ordinary expenses of
the government were S22, 000,0 900 less than in
the preceding year, and that the excess of
revenue over all expenditures was SS5, 0O0,-
600. On the 4th of March, 1885, when the
Democrats came into power, they found
net balance in the United States Treasury of
So, 764, $50. Now there is cash net balance
SIS, 19l, 100. This is certainly good show
ing for the first year of the new administra-
ton.

BASE BALL.
Two Well Earned Victories for the Brooks
Taor1

On Saturday last the Brooks team easily
defeated the Mechanicstown Frederick co.,
club on the base ball grounds here, by a score
of 10 to 3 Gist was quite effective, but eight
hits being made off his delivery and he re-
tired an equal number on strikes. He was
little wild at times, and gave four men bases
on balls Shaw gave him good support, and
Miller at I'd base played great game. Zepp
at LIST did well as did the whole club, but two
errors being made by the Brooks club. The
Mechanicstown club, except the battery,
played poorly, and made eleven errors, some
ofthem being costly: The Westminsters made
eleven hits, including a double and three
Dagger, and but three struck out In this
connection it may be stated that Gist, the
pitcher, who few weeks ago couldn't hit a
balloon, now finds the ball pretty often, and
the whole team are improving with the ash.
-Four double plays, and the fielding and bat
ting of Miller, were the chief features of
Saturdays game. Following is the score by
innings:
