Some Unoopyrighted Suggestions to the
Managers of the Cecil County
Agricultural Society.

ELKToN, January 81, 1888.
Edator Whig:-I see by your issue of last
week that the Agricultural Society is dis
cusslng the tin-horn question. 1t is about
time that something is done to abate the
nuisance, and am surprised to see that the
society arrived at no conclusion of the mat
ter. The resolution itself, however, shows
clear way out Of the difficulty "# n The
granting of a license to children" That's
tho solution of the question, gentlemen: inst
license the children to carry on their amuse-
ments. Arrange a schedule Of prices 50
thar that the adults pay but twenty-five
cents, and the children half.a-dollar. Or.
better still, charge the regular admission,
and levy an internal revenue tax of ten
cents each on trumpets, five cents on
balloons and wind-instrumsnts-b the way.
wouldn't the Indian fakir who sold msdi-
cine at the last exhibition come under the
latter class?
As the managers intend to conduct the
next exhibition on strictly moral principles,
would it not be advisable to abolish the race.
course, plant flowers on the track, and in
vite Sam Jones or 7. Dewitt Talmage to
deliver sermon from the judges box to a
congregation on the grand stand? Also do
away with the side shows and install a de-
tachment of the Salvation Army in their
places. While they are about it, let them
invite a few Mennonite elders to address
the farmers in the farmers tent.
Running tair i'll the interests of the aari-
cultural community don't pay. What the
public demands is strictly honest and i'm
partial exhibition. This practice of giving
premiums for the largest pumpkin is demon
alizing; it induces much hard feeling on the
part of the unsuccessful exhibitors, and
isn't near as effective for lining the pockets
of the stockholders as granting peanut priv
ileges. Speaking of peanuts reminds me
that the managers ought to take tho lemon
AIDE vendors to task. Their reckless waste
of lemons in using two of this valu able fruit
to the twenty-quart can cannot be too
strongly condemned.
In my humble opinion, the managers
could do no better than by presenting the
following programme: Debate on the Irish
Question, by Oscar Wilde and O'Donovan
Rosa, What 1 know about Agricultural,
Herr Most; The relation of the farmer to the
Oleomargarine Industry, A. Comstock; The
relation of Agriculture to the Street Rail-
way Industry, Oliver Wendell Holmes; Re-
lation of Agriculture to Poetry, Walt Whit
man, The above varied and instructive
programme to farmers can be increased as
the wishes of the people demand.
In conclusion, gentlemen, 1 offer the above
suggestions for all they are worth. They
are not copyrighted and were prompted by
wish on my part for the greatest good to
the greatest mum Der.
Yours very truly, ALB.

On Monday afternoon unlike other days
when the Gleighing was good, but very
few sleighs were TO be seen on our streets.
The cause OF this was the sleighing car
nival at Newark in which all our local
horsemen were interested. The Main
street, Newark, is very well suited for
racing, and during the sleigbing season
there is even more of it than in Elkton.
DR.. Uirich, OF Newark, offered McCaf-
frey cutter as prize to the owner of the
horse that could beat his thoroughbred
stallion on the snow. A number Of
Elktonians with fast horses and larger
number with slow ones went over to see
d race for the cutter. The doctor did
not make his appearance, however, but
the racing went on sll the same Among
the Elktonians were Col. |. ID. Davis with
his roam PAGER "Dayy Crockett Manly
Dreunen with ''BI, stery;" K. T. C.
Crouch with "VeIox;" S. B. Foard with
"Sagwa;" George Il. Howard with bis
brown mare Mabel" and Dr. George Il.
Morrew with Alice Medium. Different
reports are current as to which proved
the fastest.

Distriet Messenger Boys Pull the First
Checks-Over Five Hundred Seats Sold
This Morning at Three Dollars Each.
Ate O'Clock this morning the sale Of seats
for ''0thello," bv Booth and Barrett, took
place at Harris's cigar store. 1t was a
great sale in all respects. Long before that
hour the crowd who came for checks which
entitled them to the order in which TO
be called to select their seats, began to
gather, and when the good natured Harris
opened his store at . o'clock it numbered
over fifty people. The crowd consisted Of
district messenger boys, colored porters
and others who represented some one or
more who wanted seats. 1t was the usual
scene for seats for a fine attraction. The
messenger boys got In their work at the
rate of twenty cents an hour, anu
went on duty at midnight. They captured
the first five checks and then went to work
for the day as il nothing had happened
Checks were given out until No. 90 was
gone, and then the crowd went to breakfast
at their several eating places. At 9 clock
they reappeared and in a short time 500
seats were marked OFF as each check
holder was allowed to take ten seats. The
board is now black, and there is every In
dication of there being a crowded house
at S3 a seat. The out ef-town people were
represented, and will occupy the best seats
In the house. There Is still plenty of room,
and those who intend going should secure
their seats at once.

A Trunk Supposed to Contain an Intern
Machine Only Had Sample Fireworks

A Trunk Supposed to Contain an Internal
Machine Only Had sample Fireworks.
There was plenty of fun at the Bee Line
depot yesterday afternoon rs the passenger
train from the east pulled in. Baggage
Master Layton was there to do his duty In
transferring the trunks, ETC., and 1t was
right here where 1t all happened. A good
sized trunk was put of the train, and as it
bounced down on the track large vol
umes of smeke were seen coming from
under the lid. Tho man all ran away and
the baggage car door was at once shut.
The conductor mounted the engine and
signaled the train to pull out as fast as
| possible. II was believed that the trunk
contained an Internal machine and was
about to explode. The men In the ticket
ofiice began to put the stsre door and steam
heaters against the windows, and for q
while IT looked as If something awful would
follow. In moment more the
smoke and train was gone, but the suspi-
cious looking trunk was there. Everyone
| seemed afraid to open 1t, and would moi
venture any nearer to 1t than possible.
Adsms's restaurant was full Of people eat
ing lunch, and no one would even put theiI
head out Of doors for an hour or more. A
tremendous explosion was expected, and
all stood shivering in their boots.
An hour later Baggage-master Layton
found courage to tackle the trunk and ther
removed the truck TO the alley just east OF
the baggage-room. and In minute more
more would have dumped 1t into Mil Run,
that runs under the southeast corner Of the
Grand opera house, but its lawful owner
appeared and declared that 1t con
tanned nothing but some sample fire
works, he being the agent oi
the company that manufactured
them. He then opened the trunk In thu
ususl way and found some sample of the
different kinds of fire crackers, pin-wheels,
ETC., had been exploded. There was som'
big crackers In the trunk but they had M
powder in them. The travelling man had ,
good laugh and the boys about the depO
felt easier. They telegraphed the trair
men and they felt that they had escapet
from dangerous position. The trunk wa
then hauled in the baggage room and thu
agent went out into town hustling TO
orders for his firm.
