Sunday liquor selling at Long Branch
Is done by way of the side door. The
writer OF this article visited this popular
resort on Sunday last and the numerous
handsome cottages at Elberon, which are
occupied by noted persons, were pointed
out Among the number that looked
most enchanting was the cottage OF MIR.
George w. Childs. A large number of
handsome equipages with ladies diving
whip in hand, with driver and footman
riding In the rear were passed. The la
dies here are very expert in handling the
ribbons and dressed In dashing costumes,
make very pretty sight. Hoey's gar
dens were visited and are worth Welt to
the Branch to zee. The many tropical
plants To be seen are amazing. They con-
slst of nearly every known specimen.
These gardens are well kept aud the out
lay reaches into the millions. The sea-
son has barely commenced and the hctels
are not more than half filled. We had
heard that no liquor was sold on Sunday,
and every saloon had their front doors
closed up tight, but stopping for few
minutes In front of an eating house to
watch the passers by, we noticed large
number OF men go into the hashery and
come out In few MINUTES wiplng their
mouths, some on their coat sleeves and
others with their Precipitation evaporators
while others Just spit 1t out. Noticing
policeman standing few feet away we
stepped up and accosted him IS to the
workings of the liquor law on Sunday.
He replied that the saloons were closed
up tight and fast. But for all this the Of
fcer was aware OF the violation going on
right under bis nose. A wealthy miner
from the West named Ralster picked up
S35, 900 In few hours at the Pennsylva-
MIA club house, formerly kept by Phil
Daley the noted sport. The Da,ey's
have palatial residences on one of the
main streets. They have nearly every
thing money will buy, and why shouldn t
they, they made their money easy.

Hedge Fence Companies.


The Eastern Shore Hedge Company Is
one Of the companies organized by the
Dayton Hedge, Company that promises
great success for the future. 1t tislocated
at Centreville, Queen Anne's coonty,
Nd, In the midst of rich agricultural
section where good fences are needed
and appreciated. The company embraces
all the Eastern Shere counties of Mary
land, except Cscil county, which gives 1t
wide range of territory for operations.
William McKenney, president of the
National Bank Of Centreviile, and the
owner of large number of farms In
Queen Asne's who is president OF the
company, John B. Brown, vice-president
and j. Hers y Hall, secretary, and an
able board of directors, manage the COM
pany.
Operations wsr5 commenced on De-
cember 20, 1883, too late TO make much
headway for tie sp. Dg planting of
hedges. Still, it was found at the semi
annual mteiing of the directors held
June 9th that the company had earned
good dividend AID wodld have paid it
but 1t was tn ought best o retain q large
portion oft In the treasury to farther iu.
ture operations of the compa ny, and at q
meeting held July 18th the stockholders
ratified the action Of the directors. The
secretary In wiring to a stockholder In
this city, says the farmers are well
pleased with the fences and are taking
excellent care OF the spring planting.
Experienced men will be employed to
canvass ard the company expects to make
good showing at the end OF twelve
months.
He further says that we have q fne
country hire for growing hedges, and
little time and work Will put us in fine
shape. There are two other hedge com
paUies OH tho Peninsula, the Cecil
County Hedge Company and the Della.
ware Hedge Company, and all as far as
can be learned are doing well. There
can be no doubt that the Dayton system
OF constructing hedge fences will b.
alopted wherever he;rs fences arc to be
Constructed. They are the cheapest, the
best, most serviccablc, easier kept iu
order than any other fence, and the
farmer always has a pesject fence, The
snsosss oil the Eastern shore ne0ge Com
rany Will be received with pleasure by all
farmers who want good fences.

The Latest Arrival.

Long Branch Letter
''What brings you here?'' 1 asked my

ITO see the new arrival" he said,
gasping.
What do you mean?" asked several.
''Just arrived-this mOrning-eame
on purpose to knock the others out.
She's coming down now"
Well, gentle reader. you never saw
such a tidgety gang of men as we were
after we saw this young woman-a
dazzling beauty-go down to the bath
house. She was all alone, and when
she appeared on the beach ia her
slippers and wrap, not a young
swell could say word. for none Of
them knew whence came the fair
stranger. She leaned down and took
off her slippers. Then she stood up and
let her wrap slide gracefully from her
shoulder. The entire crowd gasped.
Then a voice exclaimed:
''Joe-whOIly! She hasn't got any,
tn"
Eyes. she has?" exclaimed another:
ATS pink silk"
And SO it was. It was pink silk and
you could not tell it from - 1t was a
pink silk, just the color of her arms.

NELSON'S VICTORY.
He Had More Speed Than Alcryon
and Used 1t.

he ddu VI ore SDceO L nan Atcry Oh
and Used 1t.
1t is now clear that bad rating at
Hartford caused the defeat of Nelson.
The Maine stallion won the race at Bos-
ton on Monday last in straight heats in
2:1S15, 2.17s4, 2:1S3l. Mr.. Nelson drove
his horse himself, and he did not COM
nit the folly of trying to break record
in the first heat. The race was to have
been trotted on Wednesday, but
it was postponed on account of
rain until Monday. The starting
field was small. and there were really
but two horses in the race, and these
were Nelson and Aleryon. The wild
talk about the latter having shown a
trial in 2:121s was for advertising pur-
poses. The race, by the way, was
thoroughly advertised, and it was wit
messed by several thousand people. He
who has good thing and does not make
liberal use of printers ink stands in his
own light. He deserves failure. Mel
son has more speed than Alcryon and
judieious use was made of it Monday.
Maine is on top again, and the banner
of SUNNY Side farm is 100 feet wide and
400 feet long. Pilot Knox was second
in the third heat and this gave him third
money. Fourth money went to june
mont, and the fifth starter, CRANKY, was
fifth in summary rank. The son of
Priueeps has been lame all summer.a and
those who were familiar with his con-
dition had no nope of him. He Is a
