Horse Racing al Patnxent.

Two races were held at Riyerton Stock
Farm, ut PatuXent, in the Fourth dis.
trict Saturday afternoon. The first was
a mile pacing race between the bay horse
Young Jim, = owned by Henry Brosna,
and the brown mare "Trilby Queen" !"
owned by John Winslow Jones. The
brown mare won both heats. Time on
the last, $40. The second race WAS "a
half-mile dash between the sorrel horse
REX, - owned by David Shafer, and the
black horse "Lipperine,n owned by e..
l.. Young. Both horses came from
Laurel. There was no time taken, but
the two heats were spirited. On the
first the black led the sorrel from the
start and won by one hundred yards. In
the second race the two horses were to-
gether for over half the race, when the
black passed the sorre and won by
twenty yards. The rain interfered with
the tournament proceedings at the Same
time, and made it very informal and
spiritless affair.

Anne Arunders election supervisor.

The appointment by Governor Brown
of supervisor of election for Anne
Arundel county is expected to he made
shortly. The vacancy in the board is
occasioned by the resignation OF II.
Eugene Wathen, appointed school ex-
aminer. j. Harry Bells, son of w. III.
Bells, well-known merchant tailor, is
the candidate Of the combine. The in-
dependent democrats who recently called
on Governor Brown in regard TO the
supervisorship are said TO have been en-
couraged by their reception, the Cover
nor having stated that he would give
9heir petition due consideration. The
independents claim they favor no indi-
vidual, but will be satisfied with an APP
pointment satisfactory to the masses.
1t is said the Governor will be furnished
with large list Of representative men
from which he will be asked to make a
selection. 1t is not believed the appoint
ment will be made until the Governor
has consulted the Anne Arundel Sena-
Tor. This is long recognized Official
courtesy and custom. Senator Moss
himself is being urged for the place,
but it is not known whether or not ho
would accept it if rendered. When asked
he said he was not an applicant.

CAPTURED A SHARK.
Captain William Il. Burtis Harpoons a
Man-Eater in the Harbor


Ever since the appearance of several
sharks in our harbor about a week ago,
Captain William III. Burtis. the we'll
known h0atman, foot of Prince George
street. has been on the lookout Ia make
a capture and has at last succeeded 10y
harpOoning shark yesterday morning
which measures ~ feet long and weighs
over nine hundred pounds. Captain
Burtis considers his prize valuable le-
cause the shark has double rows of we'll
formed teeth, which Is unusual.
Captain Burtis said his attention had
been attracted TO the shark shortly after
eight o'clock yesterday morning. 1t was
then off Martin 5 wharf. short distance
from his boathouse. lie immediately
secured arowboat and Il harpoon, already
prepared with fifty yards of line. The
shark. frightened by the noise rf the
boat. made "A detOur, but Captain Bur
tiS, who is an experienced man in the
business, plunged the harpoon in the
mammoth fish, striking it about two
feet from the tail. 1t did not live long.
The captor said AFTER l plunged tile
slbere in the shark, which was four feet
away, it disappeared. Soon after l felt
my boat moving and realized that l Was
being carried by the shark which l had
penetrated with the harp0On. / knew
that the blow that had struck had ta-
ken effect and did not in the least fear
danger from the shark, which was rap
idly towing me towards Greenberry
P0int,nearly two miles out of my course
The shark, apparently anxious for free
dom, struck out in all points of the com:
pass, and the twisting and turning of
the boat at times kept me uneasy for its
safety, especially as had tied the rope
attached TO the hat p0On to barrel
which had become fastened under tue
seat. The barrel had been placed in the
boat for a buoy to the line. 1t required
five boats, including slo0p, To tow the
shark to the wharf. 1t WIS So heavy
the combined efforts of eight men were
just able to raise the shark from the
water to the wharf,
The great monster was Mought to
Lopg Wharf, where it was viewed 10y a
large number OF persons. some of whom
had never seen shark before. 1t was
then taken to Bay Ridge, and exhibited
there to the curious, at five cents look.
While hosting 1t from the boat it was
relieved of about bushel of fish, terra
pins and crabs. 1t was brought back to
Annapolis and this morning hauled mp
on shore near the steamboat wharf and
dissected. In its capacious NAV were
found a part of man 3 pants, in addl-
tion to numerous fish, crabs and terra
pins. The liver, which weighed over
one hundred pounds, will be converted
into oil, which is used by blacksmiths
and machinists. 1t had two rows of
teeth, which were taken from its head
| and will be sold AS curios. The back
bone was purchased by prominent Off
cial to be converted into walking-stick
The hide, which is of elephant skin color,
and of rough surface, will also be utiliz-
ed in different ways.
