exercises were given at this long established
Seminary, of which Miss c. l.. Lloyd is prin-
cipal, in the presence of an Interested and
attentive audience.
The younger children gave with spirit sew
eral bright and merry songs, their success
being proof of their own industry and the
pains bestowed by their teacher, Miss Boddie.
The elder pupils recited in concert soul-Stir-
ring selections, the drum and the march, the
clash of arms and the booming of cannon. the
rattle and bang of the piano, with its more
gentle notes, were well rendered by the voices
in unison of the young men and maidens.
Music enlivened the hour, with recitationS
by the members of the elocution class, evinc
ing Skill training, and talent
The younger pupils were encouraged to
display their drawings-studes of form and
color Happy faces and words of common
dation enlivened the occasion. and anticipa
tons of the holidays frightened thoughts of
parting.
The exercises were but slight evidence
of the progress made by the pupils during
these few weeks Of study and their achieve
mants bid us look for future advancement

A MIDNIGHT SHOOTING.
A Man Shot in the Leg and Seriously
Wounded.

On Tuesday night last, about IL clock,
John T. Starner, of Silver Run, was seriously
shot in the left leg. The facts as given us are
as follows: A young lady was engaged to be
married to Mr.. Perry Rumbler, but there was
opposition from her mother. They were to
have been married on Thursday, but the
romance turned into nearly tragedy. The
young lady consented to leave the maternal
roof, and her escort was to have been Mr.
Starner, but the escort received load of shot
producing very painful wound in the calf of
the left leg and injuring the bone. The
wounded man was removed to his home and
medical aid summoned. The wedding has
been indefinitely postponed. In all proba-
bility the shooting will be investigated by the
grand jury. Mr.. Starner was brought to the
almshouse by constable Wisner on Thursday
afternoon, and he was Immediately placed in
care of Dr. Zepp, the physician.

Col. Edward LLOYD recently sold at public
sale on his Four Hundred farm. in Miles
River Neck, 30 head horses, mules, hogs, DC.
This was the largest public sale of stock made
in Talbot county for several years, and it is
gratifying 10 note IA marked increase i'll prices.
From fair to good prices were obtained for all
this stock. and the Hereford cattle especially
sold well. The sale was largely attended and
the bidding was spirited, giving indications of
feeling that has otherwise manifested itself
in that county that returning prosperity is close
at hand, even for the agnculturist. The
largest animal of the kind in the county is
Poll-Angus bull belonging to c. E. Henderson.
Mr. Fitzgerald, Mr.. Hendersons manager,
SAYS the animal weighs over 5000 pounds,
and people take the trouble to come miles to
see him. Mr.. Henderson is the secretary and
treasurer of the Reading Coal and iron Com
pany, Philadelphia. He bought The Rest,
Admiral Buchanan's old place, on Miles river.
and has put some very valuable stock on it.

''have examined the election bribery case, in
of foaters being hauled to one Of the voting
places in the county, but the charge could
not be sustained" The jury examined 200
witnesses, found So indictments and dismissed
% charges. They called especial attention
to Bellevue Asylum, the county almshouse,
where are now confined 100 inmates. Since
last May 20 total of 1910 tramps were
| lodged at Bellevue and 1858 meals furnished.
| The crops on the county farm. worked by the
inmates, amounted last summer TO CPS bushels
of wheat, $50 -four barrels of corn, so bushels
of oats and 400 bushels of potatoes. :'These
tramps,i the report states Fare an expensive
nuisance and we urge upon the members elect
| 10 the Legislature that they take up this tramp
| question at the ensuing meeting of the Gen
eral Assembly and do all in their power to
enact tramp law to abate the nuisance.
Judge Stake delivered several severe reprii-
mands to witnesses who failed to put in their
appearance when called. He said: Either
my orders prevail here or | will resign ana

 New Street Between Orange and State

 About four years ago new order was issued by the court of common council to cut a street through where what is known as Pitkin alley extends, but no further action was taken at that time. Yesterday William H. Pltkin of Bos- ton, a. part owner of the property in the center of the square bounded by Orange, Court, State and Chapel streets, was in town and announced that he in- tends to build large two story build ing on the premises and have a street cut through as soon as the building is completed. The occupants of the two or three small brick buildings in the alley way have been given thirty days notice to vacate, as these buildings will be torn down. The plans and specifi- cations for the new building have been drawn, and it will be situated on the south side of the new street, with it's rear close up to the buildings on the north side of Chapel street. It will be seventy feet long and fifty feet wide. The first floor will be fitted up for two or three stores to face the new, street, the surveying for which has all ready been done

There Was Small Attendance at the
 Rochester Races.
 Rochester, Aug. 2O-Cold weather, no poolselling and counter attraction in the shape of a ball game, each played part in keeping down the attendance at the driving park this afternoon at the opening of the twenty-second meet ing of this race course.
 When President Archer called the horses for the first race there were not over 500 persons present. They gradually increased until perhaps 1,500 ladies and gentlemen occupied the lower portion of the grand stand, the lawn and inner field.
 Every heat in the three races was well contested and while it looked as though Fl Rami had very soft place in the opening event in the end it turned out to be a Waterloo It was rumored that he dropped the third heat to Fitzroy, but to the insiders it looked like the result of too much rac- ing for a young horse and subsequent events fully corroborated this opinion for, after laying up the fourth heat he again tired badly in the stretch in the fifth heat and Fitzroy took the race to his credit. The other two events were won in one, two, three order.

of her rigging, which made 1t unsafe for the boat to sail around the course the second time. How badly the Defenders rigging is weakened could not be ascer- tained, but it was stated that the dam age is such that it will require several days to put Defender again in racing form. It is possible the races may be held next Tuesday and Thursday, but the committee had no positive informa- tion on that point.
 When the Vigilant had returned to her anchorage MT. Willard stated that those on the Vigilant found the wind all right. He spoke contemptuously of the Herre- shoff jib, which had split, and said the Vigllant had not been strained in any way and did not leak a ldrop. He de- clared that the yacht was stiffer and faster than she was in 1893. MT. Will lard said the committee had notified him that a private race which had been arranged for the boats was off. Arthur Glennie, Lord Dunraven's personal friend and representative, who watched the race from the club boat, said:
 "Defeuder stands up well, but she Is very light. She is a grand little boat. though, and she gave the Vigilant a fair and square beating on the first round. It is impossible to form any opinion from this contest as to the rel ative abilities of the Defender and the Vigilant, as we have no means Of know ing whether the Vigilant is improved or not. We should call the wind to-day a fair topsail breeze-a little too much for the biggest clubtopsails, of course. The wind here is not as heavy as it looks" The Americas cup committee an nounced officially to-day that the first race for the cup would take place on September '.

Several Persons Injured.

Hartford, Aug. 20-Several passen- gers were injured tonight on car on the suburban line on the Pennington bridge. A special car with party from Strong's shoe store, who were out for a trolley ride, were approaching the Far mington bridge, following the regular car on the line. The first car stopped on the bridge, the trolley having slipped off, leaving the car in darkness. The special car came along and crashed into the rear end of the first car with great force. The passengers were thrown out of the car, and Mrs. F. c. Bigelow was thrown down a twenty-foot embank- ment and received a scalp wound and internal injuries. Mrs John M. Water man had her arm broken and was cut and bruised. Those who were badly injured were carried to Humphreys inn, where a physician was called to attend them. The other passengers, who were less seriously hurt, were taken back to this city at 10 o'clock in cars.
