Status of the Cecil Races.

The decision of the Court of
Appeals appears to have narrowed
down the Elkton racing industry
to the following dimensions:
Thereare at presentsix race tracks
in Cecil county, three being at Iron
Hill, one at Barksdale, one at Sing
erly and one at Elkton. The three
at Iron Hill are all owned and
operated by the Keystone Racing
Association, and the effect of this
decision will be to render two of
them useless, unless separate Or
CARNATIONS are formed for them.
The other three tracks are all owned
and operated by separate organiza
tiOns.
AS it now stands the Barksdale
track has been run thirty days this
year which ends its privilege for
twelve months. One of the Iron
Hill tracks has had fifteen days
racing this year and will on March
again open Tor another period OF
fifteen days, which will conclude
the keystone Associations privilege
for the current year. A run of
thirty days on the Singerly track
and twenty six days on the EIkton
track will, unless other organiza-
items are formed, terminate racing
in Cecil county for tn present
year.
The uncanny crowd will work
every device known to the legal
profession to split up their company
into as many separate parts as there
are tracks if it is possible for them
to do so. At the very least there
are 70 days of the racing and gambl-
ing business before the good people
which will carry the fun up to the
first of June or nearly so.

sixty days for assault, Frank Fore
aker, aged about twenty three years,
awaiting trial on the charge OF
larceny, and VIM. Montgomery,
colored, charged with murder, es-
capped from Elkton Jail Saturday

colored man was awaiting trial for
killing James Brown, a race track
follower.
The prisoners effected their es-
cape while they had the liberty OF
the Jail yard, which is surrounded
with a massive wall 25 feet high.
The prisoners took the wire from a
broom, tied a brick to it and threw
it over the wall. On the other end
of the wire was fastened q rope
made by twisting together their
bed clothing. They managed to
work this through crevice on top
of the wall caused by the mortar
falling out. After all were on top
of the wall they descended by the
same rope. The escape was not
discovered until the sheriff went to
lock them up for the night.
Montgomery is about thirty three
years of age, very black, smooth
face, about 5 feet inches high.
He wore a black stiff hat and dark
clothes.

The royal pagent at Washington
yesterday would better befit the
browning of an emperor than the
Inauguration of a plain American
citizen, who is nothing more than
a magistrate to execute the laws
enacted by congress. The hundred
thousand offices which are at his
disposal should be taken out of his
hands. Cleveland has shown the
dangerous abuse that can be made
of such a power. His shameful
abuse of this trust will be prece-
dent for others. Such abuse of
power never decreases but grows
worse. The veto power in place of
being a wholesome check on too
hasty decision of congress, as the
trainers ofthe Constitution intended,
has been perverted into the preroga-
tive of a depot. The veto should
be taken from the President and
placed in the hands of the people.
Delegated power is proving an
absolute failure in this republic.

Miss Ruth McCracken, daughter
of Thos. McCracken, of North East,
was bitten last Sunday by a dog,
which afterwards showed unmis-
taxable signe Of hydrophobia. The
dog was great pet with members
of the family, and when it was
noticed that the dog was sick, it
was not thought that it had hydro
phobia, and was allowed o run
about the house. Nothing was
thought of the wound on Miss
McCracken's arm until Tuesday,
when the dog became violent and

The Cecilia nusical Club Entertain
ment

The entertainment given on
Friday evening by the Cecilia
Musical Club of Boston, was GER
tainly enc of the best if not the
very best musical ever given in this
town. The five young ladies who
composed the musical part of the
troup are veritable muses. of the
divine art. Mr.. Karl Marshall
White manager of the troup, as a
personator and humorist is among
the best of his class.
The performance was simply
elegant, enjoyable, delightful. We
are not an art critic or musical
critic and will not attempt to do
the entertainment up after the
manner of the theatrical art critics,
but the unanimous vote of the
audience was that the performance
was splendid, and standing close
behind the music were the five
nymphs, forming a most attractive
back ground which delighted the
eye as much as their music did the
ear, so that "Each gave each a
double charm"
Miss Trirkey captured the house
with her wonderful violin solo, not
outstanding the young lady was
very sick with an attack of la
grippe. She was SO sick that when
she retired from the stage after each
appearance she almost collapsed
from exhaustion. Can she play more
divinely when in perfect health?
If so this audience would wish to
hear her again.
The cornet solo by Miss Rankin
was as much of a surprise and al
most delight as Miss Trickey's
violin performance. Miss Rankin
has the reputation of be ng one of
the best lady cornet performersin the
United States. Her audience on
Friday night think she is the very
best, at any rate they voted her a
star.
Miss Cornell sang a solo "Seceran
Rose" which was an exhibition of
"high art" in the vocal department
of music, and charmed the cult
waited ears in the audience.
Miss Ida Mead performed on
that awkward bass instrument the
cello, and showed all the music it
is capable of. 1t requires a pretty
girl to redeem the instrument
which may account for it's being
assigned to Miss Mead.
1t is the wish of Rising Sun that
the Cecilia Musical Club may visit
rs again and all the girls be in per-
feet health.
The weather that evening was
none of the most pleasant but the
hall was filled almost to it's capacity.
The next entertainment will be
given March oath, which will be

who has never appeared before a

Communicated.
R. F. ROWLAND, Sec.

An anti-race track meeting assembled at West
Nottingham chapel on Monday night March 1st
This meeting was in response to the call of Rev.
| D. E. Shaw, chairman OF the Sixth district. Mr.
Shaw called the meeting to order at eight O'Clock,
the purpose of which explained by the chair
| man was to elect twenty-five delegates from the
District to meet in Elkton on March 9th in county
convention there to pass resolutions, &C., &C.,
against race track gambling. Mr.. Shaw read a
number of letters from gentlemen of the district
all of whom strongly favored the movement.
| However, none of them except the letter of H. II.
| Haines alined any plan of action or defined the
views of their authors further than that they
agreed with those who favored race track
| abolition.
| Mr. Haines thought the plan suggested by some
| that there be three men nominated for the legs-
ature and for the State Senate irrespective of
| party and for one purpose only, that OF downing
| the race track business would not be feasible
one, because as he stated the conflicting opinions
as to the question as to who shall succeed Mr..
German as Senator would make a paramount
ISSUE The chairman then talked at some length
ON the race track issue,
He had he said, been surprised to ind that
| some of his people whom he had always supposed
| to be good" Republicans FUSED" to be Demo-
Gratis but that now it was not quite certain that
| there are any Democrats and he could not tell
until after the frost had come out. He stated that
his father had voted for Fremont and that he and
| his brothers had all of them been voting the Re-
publican ticket pretty steadily and said this was
due to their early training, hence he urged all
fathers to teach their boys just principles that
they might be guided thereby. He objected to
the proceedings of the U. S, Senate. Hooking
certain legislation which the speaker thought
should become laws was the objection offered.
| The delegates having been previously selected
were announced.
| Lloyd Baderston was asked to speak on the
question and in few words stated his position as
being very much against the evil complained of.
| There was but fifteen minutes of time remain
ing, as the chairman had decided to close the
meeting at O'Clock and speeches were not to be
| longer than three minutes each.
George Balderston opposed the plan Of working
inside of old party lines and suggested that special
nominations be made for the particular purpose
of aboishing the race track and the evils incident
| thereto
Mr. Shaw objected to this course of reasoning
and thought the better plan was to send an unin-
structed delegation. He said that they did not
intend to allow this delegation to be handled after
they had been safely landed at the county seat.
| 1t was called as a nonpartisan meeting and was
so stated to be by the chairman. r. F. Rowland
served as secretary of the meeting.
