Rising Sun free silver Bryan
club met last night-Thursday-
and next Thursday the club at
Colora will meet. Thursday even
ings are the regular meeting even
ings and the clubs meet together
alternate weeks. The meetings
being on Thursday evenings pre-
vents us from giving report OF
the proceedings that would be any
way fresh.
On Thursday evening of last
week Major Stewart of Easton made
rafting speech to the Colora club,
and the meeting was large and
enthusiastic.
The little five year old daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Mussul-
men of Port Deposit was terribly
bitten by the dog belonging to Mr..
James Lodd ON Wednesday of last
week. The child and the dog were
playing when the little one slipped
and fell. Immediately the dog,
who is of enormous size sprang on
her putting his teeth in her face on
the left side over the eye and be-
hind the eye, lacerating it in a
terrible manner.
We did not learn whether the
brute was shot.
The race track near Singerly will
be ready in few days. In the
mean time a corps of surveyors
have been at work on the Walton
farm at Iron Hill looking to its
eligibleness for a third track.
Contractor Edw. Gambrill, of Bal
timore, has a large force of work
men at the Singerly track erecting
the buildings, etc. The betting
ring will be capable of holding
$500 persons and stables will be
built for 800 horses.
BY this time next year there will
be twelve tracks in the county it is
probable. We had a nice reform
legislature last year. A prize ring
would be as interesting as the race
track and draw more blacklegs.
