SUCCESSFUL CORN PACK-Col. s. N. Hyde,
of Hyde's Station, Long Green Valley. made q
successful pack, this year, of his far-famed
Egyptian sugar corn. He canned IL, 900 cases,
nearly all of which has been sold and shipped.
Mr.. Hyde realized 50 per case for his corn-a
price far beyond the prevailing rates. Mr..
Hyde has established a reputation for his corn
by having it always uniformly good. To ac-
compish this he exercises unusual care, first in
selecting his seed corn and afterwards in exam
lining each ear himself before it is passed over
10 the cutters. In shoIt, from first to last, the
product of his factory has his personal super
his well-known name and portrait are superior
to any other and command higher price in tine
market. Mr.. Hyde has always advised Gamers
to be more careful in their work and to see that
their goods are properly packed. He regards
this as the secret of success. His seed corn is
planted by itself. From the patch he selects
only the most perfect ears for the next years
planting.
1t has been said that sugar corn will deterior-
ate in this latitude, but Mr.. Hyde's experience
cont-overts the assertion. Sixteen years ago,
while living at Boothby ill, in this county, he
procured the seed Of his Egyptian corn and by
careful selection greatly improved ii. He has
been planting and canning the same variety
ever since and and 1t is as good if not better
now than ever before. He has been offered $40
a bushel for seed but will not sell it even at
that high price. The price of ordinary sugar
corn is from $3.50 10 50 per bushel. About
two-tbirds of his pack is shipped TO New York.
The demand for it is SO great that orders are al
ready pouring in for next years pack. He is
assisted in his factory by his son, Mr.. Harry s.
Hyde, formerly of this county.

TRoTTING AT MOUNT ARARAT-The second
meeting of the season of Mount Ararat Trotting
Association took place last Saturday, on their
track, near Pylesville. The attendance was
large. The Judges of the races were Messrs. d.
c. Wharton Smith, John o. Stearns and Samuel
j. Whiteford.
In the three-year old class there were five en-
tries. Joseph s. Whiteford's filly won in two
straight heats, with Edward e. Hopkins second.
For the running race there were three entries,
the race being won by Slas H. Wilson's sorrel
mare, which distanced the field.
An interesting event was a race between
Hopeful, "a years old, owned by DR.. q. &. SIll
of Rising Sun, Cecil county, and Cuyler Boy, a
PAGER, owned by Mr.. Edward Wilson, of Pyles-
Vile. The race was won by Cuyler Boy in two
straight heats. Hopeful, when in his prime,
was the king of the turf and still shows evil
dences of his greatness as a trotter.
Another interesting trotting race was won by
Edward Wilson's stallion Rosewood.
Mount Ararat Trottng Association has given
great stimulus to the breeding of good horses
in that part of the county, aud the occasional
meetings have been well attended, orderly at
fairs.

main entrance is on Main street, through
the grand arches in the tower to the right,
whose summit is near the grand tower
That tower is Sc feet wide and of the same

trance, symmetriZes the palace on the op-
posite side. In this tower is the stage,
30x36 and the main hall, with the bal

SOME SMART
LITTLE WRAPS.
Two Sketches of the Newest De-
signs by Redfern.
One Is of Fancy Mght-Weieht iCloaking for
Chilly Days, and the Other is q Hand
some Cape for the Fall Season.

N@EAEW YORK, Sept. s. 1s9O.-Although
4MS Redfern's speciality, the creation of
19HlS which has made his name watch
word the world over, among women of taste
and fashion, is the tailor cloth gown and
coat, there are, of curse, times when rather
to oblige some favorite patron than in ac-
cordance with his own inclinations, he is
called upon to diverge from his special line,
and to produce some other style of garment
The present is one of those occasions, and
his latest divarication is in the direction of
the fancy cape wrap, which so comfortably
fills in the demi-saison, when the weather is
so unsettled that one can hardly affirm it is
wholly summer nor yet quite autumn, but
rather capricious and daily varying MKT
ure of both seasons. A fair idea OF these
little wraps may be obtained from the ac-
companying sketches, just received from his
New York establishment.
The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1890-09-14

In the first the material is a fancy light
weight cloaking, much in the style of the
woven with odd hairy figures in such decided
relief as to almost present the appearance
of appliQued fur. These figures in the
above model are pale fawn-color shading
to dark brown, upon deep electric blue
ground, and the cape is bordered all round
with narrow row of natural seal. The
front, which is in three sections, laps in
double breasted fashion and fastens high on
the right shoulder. A cunning little muff,
with small far pocket for coin purse and
mouchoir, accompanies this stylish wrap.
The second sketch is larger specimen of
the Redfern fall cape.
The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1890-09-14

Here the material is mainly seal plush laid
in organ pleats over the shoulders, and sup
plemented by collar and straight vest
front of palest beige cloth, heavily braided
with gold and copper. This extends also in
a deep V down the back and is framed by
bands of golden otter. A fancy plush mutf
with 5raiding and satin ribbon roSette may
be used with this cape on chilly days.

who adopted the divided skirt as a fad have
