Pastime OF Baltimore vs.. The Naval
Cadets.

A one-sided game Of base bali was
played at the Naval Academy yesterday
afternoon between the Cadets and the
Pastimes Of Baltimore, who reached
hare on the steam-tug "Sallie." The
game was witnessed by large number
OF persons, including many ladies. who
for six innings cheered encouragingly
Tor the cadets. and then changed their
cheers TO calling the Pastime PLAYERS
mean things" for walloping the middies.
For six innings the game was well play
ed, but then the Naval Academy bows
lost their heads, and the Pastimes
won with ease. The cadets in the first
inning. after blanking their opponents
scored three runs on an error by Brown.
single by Potter, Hartung being struck
by pitcher and Johnson's double. That
ended their run-getting, for the second
inning Stocksdale settled down, and but
three more hits were made OF him by the
cadets during the rest of the game. The
Pastimes scored two runs In the second
inning on errors by Macklin and hits by
Stocksdale and Oudesluys, and tied the
score in the third on Carson's base on
balls and hits by Guard and Bartlett In
the sixth inning the Pastimes took the
lead on errors by Johnson, lizard and
Potter and timely hitting. The cadets
lost their presence of mind and were not
half match for their opponents. The
battery work of Stocksdale and Foster,
the fielding Of Guard, Bartlett and
Philips, and the batting of Oudesluys
for the Pastimes were good. For the
Cadets Johnson played a good fielding
game and at the bat made one two-base
hits and two singles.

Model Motive Power.

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com.
pany has recently placed in service on its
fast trains between New York, Philadel.
phia. Baltimore and Washington. three
new engines which arc doubtless the finest
and fastest ever built in this country. -
These new flyers have driving wheels six
feet. six inches high and cylinders 20
inches BY q The large cylinders give
them tremendous power and the high
drivers protect the machinery from the
rack and strain incident to driving smaller
engines at great speed There is prac-
ticaIly no limit TO the speed to which these
new marvels may be driven and they skim
over the rails as smoothly as swallow
over lake
Another recent addition 10 the motive
power of the company is consignment
Of eight powerful Ten wheel passenger
engines, designed for service on the noun
tain divisions These are the heaviest ten
wheel engines ever constructed. weighing
sixty -seven and one half tons. They have
driving wheels six feet two inches high
and cylinders 81 inches by 90. One Of
these machines performs the work here
tofore requiring two of the ordinary class
and they take the heavy through express
trains up the mountain grades quickly
and with perfect ease.
The Mt. Glare shops of the company
have recently completed an order for ten
switch engines of the highest type, and
sufficiently powerful to make up a train
equal to the fun drawing power of con
solidated freight engine. Also three new
heavy eight wheel passenger engines, hav-
ing driving wheels five feet eight inches.
and cylinders twenty inches by twenty
four. These engines are now doing ex-
cellent work they are very powerful and
susceptible of great speed.
In addition to the foregoing the Com
pany has now under construction at its
Mt Glare Shops ten powerful ten wheel
engines designed for fast freight service
and for heavy passenger trains on occa-
sion, also twelve consolidated freight en-
gines of great power
These additions to its motive power are
in line with the other great improvements
constantly being made in the general bet
terment of the b. & o. property by its
present management, which have been
noted by the press from time to time, and
the rapid augmentation of the passenger
traffic of the Company indicates that the
public is quick to recognize the present
and constantly increasing efficiency of its
train service

An Oyster Planting Law 20 be Drawn
The Canned Goods Exchange of Balti-
more. held special meeting yesterday
and formulated its attitude on the oyster
question. A synopsis OF their unani
nous expression is as follows. The ex-
change viii pronounce publicly in favor
Of general oyster-planting law at the
next session Of the Legislature. Ii is op-
posed to afaw granting exclusive rights
or privileges TO any corporation. The
baltimore packers are content with their
business Of buying. packing and selling
They desire only that the supply shall be
increased, and will present plan through
which any one, whether rich or poor,
who desires TO plant oysters may do SO
II, however, the people, through the Leg
islature, refuse to take any interest in
this matter aud fail to pass a fair gener-
al oyster planting law, the packers will
ask that the Legislature give them the
privilege Of taking a portion of the bay
TO show what can be done. Some of the
objections to oyster planting are fair,
and the exchange desires to meet them.
No state which has passed an oyster
planting law has allowed leasing of ma
turai rocks except Texas, and this por-
ton of its law, it is understood, will pro
badly be repealed. Unreasonable objec-
tions may be made by attorneys who
claim to represent tongers. In certain
counties it is to the interest of catchers
to keep oysters scarce and high. The
exchange has also decided to establish
special bureau to gather and impart in
formation on the oyster question.

Did you know that syndicates of capt

OF every acre of eligible suburban prop

soon become peopled with thousands of

not permit them to live longer in the
sitting quarters of over-crowded cities
The rapid development and growth of
mutual building and loaI associations,
and the easy and safe opp. rtunities Of

has inspired these syndicates to invest
their money where there is such evident
certainty of large returns. Before prices

The Business Outlook

Money is, as matter of course, scarce
now in all sections, and must remain so un
til there is some crop to move and sell
First will come the berries, and the early
fruits and vegetables, which viii put
afloat some thousands of dollars to go
into the hands of the farmers who raise
them, and their laborers. Harvest prom
ises to be early and much of the wheat
will doubtless be rushed into market in
July and August The outlook is now
for large wheat crop, but the danger
point 10 wheat is never passed until the
crop is secured. In mechanical affairs
there is no boom or rush but there seems
TO be quite steady employment for most
of the mechanics. Trade is dull, say the
merchants, but the comparison is made
probably with the buster parts of the
year and not with corresponding periods
of preceding years. We should say the
spring mercantile trade is up to the aver
age, that there are as many goods bought
and sold this spring as were in any other
spring. OF course the scarcity of mon
eY and the difficulty to earn it, tends
toward inducing economy in buying. On
the whole, we believe the country is in a
prosperous condition, and that the out
look for the years business in all the
industrial departments is good one.

The Change of season

We already begin to feel the glad and
genial influences of Spring, and everybo-
dy rejoices. We must still expect to en-.
counter an occasional breath of winter
for time; but his power is broken. and
these manifestations are but dying strug-
giles which will soon entirely cease There
is nothing more inspiring than the first
really pleasant weather in early Spring.
1t breathes new life into the body and
mind, and contrasts most pleasantly with
the stern rigor of the season that proceed
ed it. Winter is pleasant. too, when it
first appears. 1t has stern grandeur
and hard, pitiless beauty that charms for
time; but yeu grow weary of these and
yearn for the gentle influences of ever
welcome Spring. You long to battle in
its sweet. soft sunshine, to feel the bal
my south wind kiss your tired cheek,
and the.subtle. life renewing influences
of the season permeate your being The
return of Spring is like new lease Of
life. and all the surroundings are imbued
with that feeling. II is always welcome.
