AFTERNOON AmusEmENTa.

10 the afternoon the band played some
lively airs and drew large crowd to see
the sack race, in which three-Owens,
Laveaga, and Tully--started. Owens
being too large for his envelope dropped
ont of the race soon after the start, and
the others were rusning nip and tuck
when Tully pushed Laveaga, who fell to
the ground and before he could assume
"the godlike form Of freedom aud man"
again Tully had passed under the string.
A 'foul' was claimed and the race was
run over again and won by TulIy.
In the wheelbarrow race there were
three contestants-Billy Simpson, Dan
Chenoweth and Mike Tully-all being

brought up against Iii Barnes house, and
Tully kept the street and won the race.

To the proudest summit most cherished on

OF years, five score and more have passed
Since Ger our land first went the word
Which freedoms light 30 brightly flashed
That Liberty's voice should thencetorth be
nearC.
Let memory wake from her magic trance,
Sweep back DER the track Of bygone years,
And mark the progress and steady advance
Since the early days of trouble and tears
In those days we were weak and our numbers
few,
And grim war and desolation spread,
But the patriots hearts beat strong and true
As on to victory they were led.
In the battle of strife they stood firm as rock;
Their thoughts On a bright future only were
cast
Az they met the foe in wars terrible shock,
Each man in the fray resolved to the last;
Freedom and peace in the bonds Of love,
And a Union Of States, we have to-day;
Our thanks, let us give to that Power above,
From the prayer of whose children He ne'cr
turneth away.

CONDITION OF THE CROPS.
winter Wheat Good-Spring Wheat In
jured-Fiue Outlook for Corn.

New YORK, July 9.-Folowing is a sum-
mary of the Rural New Workers. annual
crop report: From over 1000 crop reports
from all parts of the country it concludes
that the winter wheat crop is on the whole
good the probable yield being 295 600, 900
bushels against 2l2OOO,00O in 1885, with
slight increase in acreage. Spring wheat
has been considerably injured by drought
and blight The yield will probably be
4O,0OOO00, bushels against 145,000.000 last
year The total wheat crop will probably
be l35, ZOO, 900 bushels against 361 ,OO0,OOO
bushels last year. In oats there has been
a slight increase in acreage the crop has
been considerably injured by drought and
insect pests and will probably yield $780,
600, 900 bushels against G29, 100000 bushels
III 1885. OF rye and barley there will be
excellent crops on slightly increased
area. There is good stand of corn and
the outlook is excellent for a fine crop.
OF early potatoes the crop will be heavy
and late potatoes are promising, especial
ly in the West. Prices will probably be
low. There has been large increase in
the area of cultivated grasses in the West
and South and n considerable increase in
clover. There will be heavy crop of hay,
thought it has been injured somewhat by
drought and insects in places Pastures
are generally good There is slight in
crease in the area of tobacco and the pros
poets are fair. There is decrease in the
acreage under hops. Until recently the
prospects everywhere were excellent, but
destruction is now threatened to the New
York crop by lice and honey-dew a
slight decrease in the area under cotton in
the older states is more than counterbal-
anced in the new, especially Texas. The
condition, however, is lower than in 1885.
Outside of New England apples are likely
to be only a fair crop, as the young fruit
is dropping excessively everywhere. There
injury has been done to orchards by the
winter cold and spring frosts in the Ohio
valley and the Northwest. The pear crop
will be poor and the peach crop below the
average. On the whole there is an excel
lent harvest outlook.

OVER NIAGARA FALLS.
FOOLISH PRANK OF A FOOLHARDY
CHAP I'M A BARREL.
a Philadelphia Cooper After Glory -
DObs Five Miles Through Whirlpool
Rapids In IA sealed keg-Will Yet
Shoot the Horseshoe Falls.

BUFFALO, n. Y, July 11.-C. ID. Gra-
ham passed safely through the whirlpool
rapids at Niagara Falls in cask this
afternoon. He is Philadelphia, 80
years Old, and cooper by trade. Having
conceived the idea of making the foolhardy
voyage he constructed a barrel for
the purpose, of oak slaves, shaped
ike . buoy. being wide at the top and
narrow ut the bottom. Sand ballast
N'vas fixed to keep the side of the cask
"vrich Graham faced, uppermost. Graham
hung ~ rather stood in sort of ham
moct- made like a suit of clothes and held
on t. iron handles at the side. He calcu-
lateG that he could live half an hour with
out fre5h air and by that time he expected
fp9 ye safely through the rapids, when he
could pull out the plug and get a new sup
Fly. About o'clock Graham
crav-led into his barrel and
closed the manhole from within
a boat then lowed the oask out from
shore about 300 rods above the cantlever
bridge. A swift current caught it and
carried il along, moving faster and faster
Intil Il dashed on with full force. The
1ask bounded up and down over the great
waves and several times turned a com
plete somersault, but generally the wider
portion remained uppermost, although it
twisted around like IA top. 1t kept the
centre of the river until it reached the
whirlpool, when it struck strong side
current and was carried swiftly through,
reaching the quieter waters beyond.
From here the journey was comparatively
easy. The cask floated on toward Lewis
ION right side up, where it was picked up,
1ve miles below the starting point and
Graham came out uniniured, excepting
slight bruiSe on one arm.
Graham receives no compensation for
his wild sail, but the glory" of the thing.
Few people knew about his attempt and
consequently there were few spectators.
He says he will yet go over Horseshoe
falls

An Eastern shore RAILROAD

A correspondent of the Baltimore
"sau" writes as follows with regard TO
Speaker Seth's proposed Baltimore and
Eastern Shore Railroad: 'Therei is no
doubt railroad to be run in the inter.
est of the city of Baltimore should be
built on the peninsula without delay ,
but there is Q doubt and serious one
that the route proposed by Mr.. Seth
would accomplish the object in view.
Mr.. Seth's road leaves out the counties
of Queen Anne's. Kent and Cecil, the
most prosperous part of the Eastern
Shore, and has other very Objectionable
features, whicn will readily suggest
themselves to persons familiar with the
route proposed. What is needed is 9
railroad commencing at Snow Hill and
running the full length of the peninsula
having branch roads to each shire town
and connecting at Elkton with the
Philadelphia branch of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company. Such
railroad Baltimore should be willing to
help build and the sooner 1t is built the
better 1t will be for this city. If rail-
road is to be built, 1t is to be hoped the
m istakes made In the past In building
roads on the per insula will NOT Do re-
peRted."
