A Maryland Tourney.

Fifteen stalwart knights participated
in the tournament yesterday afternoon
on My Lady's Manor, Baltimore county.
The tourney was held on the farm OF
Mr.. Jacob NJ. Pearce, about 215 miles
east of Monkton, on the Northern
Central railway. The contest was one
of expert horsemanship, and in this
particular the Journeys of today are
useful. 1t is only when they are likened
to the chivalrous engagements of old OF
when they are merely for the value OF
the prizes offered that they become
ridiculous. In yesterdays tourney prizes
were given to the first four successful
knights, and the next four had the
honor of crowning the queen and maids
of-honor. which were really the most
coveted prizes. The coronation took
place at Manor hall, near the tourna.

The weary hours dragged on. By the

note from Uncle Ivan telling me that
poor Vera was rapidly sinking; in fact,
the family physician had given her up.
Eminent medical counsel had been called
in-but their deliberation only went to
confirm the opinion of the family's med

An Attractive way OF Placing Pictures.
