TOURNAMENT AT PERRYMAN.-The youth,
beauty and chivalry of the second district as
sembled in Mr.. Cronn's field, at Perryman, on
Tuesday. to hold tournament, the proceeds Of
which were for the benefit ofthe Aberdeen Cornet
Band. The arches, the speakers stand and the
music stand were tastefully decorated with flags
of various nations, and the over clouded sky,
while it doubtless prevented many from attend
ing, averted the rays of an August sun and con-
tributed to the comfort of the several hundred
people who were there. The knights were from
the second district only and many of them made
their devoirs for the first time in the cause of
love and beauty. At three o'clock the contest
ants were marched in front of the judges stand
by the Chief Marshal, Mr.. Louis T. Michael.
where they were addressed by Mr.. Walter W.
Preston, who charged each of them to do his
utmost for the lady he loved. Then they assem-
bled at the starting place, the word of com
mand was passed along the line by the marshal
to his assistants, DIR. j. H. Sitter and Mr.. 7. A.
Cronin, who in turns exhorted the knights
to prepare and next to "charge." One after
another they rode along the line of arches, with
varying success. Each rider had three trials,
the score. at the conclusion being as follows:

The knights then reassembled at the Judges
stand, where Mr.. John Moores, on behalf of
himself and the other Judges, Messrs. John A.
Osborn and Jacob Z. Hollis, announced that
the Knights of Perryman and Chesapeake. hav-
ing each taken nine rings, would compete for
the honor of browning the Queen of Love and
Beauty, the unsuccessful knight in this contest
to crown the first Maid of Honor, and that the
knights of Avondae and Aberdeen, each of
whom took seven rings, would contest for the
remaining honors. Rings of three-quarter inch
diameter were substituted for the inch and a.
quarter rings previously used, and at the first
ride the knight of Perryman took one ring, his
rival taking none.
In the contest that followed the knight of
Aberdeen gracefully lifted off all three rings on
the point Of his lance, while bis contestant
secured only one. The result was then declard
and the successful knights selected the ladies
upon whom they wished to confer the honors of
the day. Calamity escorting the young ladies
whom they had chosen to the stand, they lis
tened to an address from Mi. VIM. L. Cooley,
who, in closing, handed the crowns, one by one,
to the victorious knights, who placed them
upon the fair brows destined to receive them.
The knight of Peiryman, Mr.. Geo. w. Payne,
crowned as Queen of Love and Beauty Miss
Blanche Bolton, daughter of Mr.. Daniel K.
Bolton, of Baltimore I; the knight of Chesapeake,
Mr.. Oscar johnson, crowned the first Maid of
Honor, Miss Gilbert, daughter of Mr.. Charles
Gilbert, of Michaelsville the knight of Aber-
deem, Mr.. VIM. a. Rawhouser, bestowed his
wreath upon Miss Mamie Courtney, daughter of
Mr.. Geo. A. Courtney, and the knight of Avon
dale, Mr.. l.. W. Foard, conferred similar
honor upon Miss V. l.. B. Brown, daughter of
Mr.. A. F. Brown. a=-
This closed the tournament proper The
Aberdeen band performed their choicest selec-
tions during the afternoon. In the evening
the tournament ball was held in Michael,
Keen d Co.'S hall, at Perryman, which was
handsomely decorated for the occasion.
Mr.. James W. Malcolm was time-keeper at
the tournament, the heralds being Howard
