GONE GLIMMERrNG.--With the 10 to 10
result In favor of Boston on Monday last,
Bstimorc's chances for the pennant Tor the
fourth time is scarcely good ten to one
shot After the Boston series the two clubs
stood thus: Boston had three games to play
with Brooklyn; Baltimore had four with
Washington. If Boston wins all three Bal
timorc could not win the pennant; if Boston
loses one and Baltimore wins the four, then
Baltimore would win the pennant. There
is less likelihood of Boston losing one than
that Baltimore will win the four, so the
chances are decidedly in favor of Boston
But weren't the three Boston-B Baltimore
games money getters2 Think of it; 10000
people on Friday, $4,000 on Saturday and
10000 on Monday. That is the record to
date and to city that can afford such pa.
tronage the pennant should go fourth time
and that would break the record. Let us
hope that it is the unexpected the seem
ingly impossible, that will happen.
PROPOSED New RAILRoAD.-A meeting
of railroad men, interested in the proposed
new steam railroad between Gettysburg and
Washington D G., was held at the City
Hotel in Gettysburg, September Gath. Those
present were-,Judge Smith of Wikesbarre;
Edward J. LAWYER of Westminster, B. F.
Shriver of Union Mill, John A. Shorb of
Littlestown, Messrs Colgrove and Cady,
the promoters, of Washington, d. c., and
two New York brokers.
An agreement was entered into between
the Board of Directors and the New York
capitalists whereby the latter are to not only
guarantee the payment of the bonds, but are
to build the road from Rockville, Nd, to
Gettysburg, via Westminster, Union Mills
aud Littlcstown. These capitalists have
already arranged for the construction of the
road, and the agreement specifies that the
surveyors shall be at work and the road
completed within one year from the date Of
agreement.
Under the article of agreement the New
York syndicate are to build the road in the
hest and latest improved manner-htavy
ties and regulation rails, and it is claimed
that the road will be completed for rolling
stock within nine months from October LIST
The character Of the gentlemen connected
with the enterprise gives color to the general
belief that the long looked for road is about
to be built. 1t will connect at Rockville
Md, with the main line of the B. g. o., and
thereby gain access to Washnton. The
Board of Directors will again meet the New
York CAPITALISTS in Baltimore next Tuesday
when they will formally execute the article
of agreement and place the syndicate in ,
position to at once 60 ahead with the enter
prise.
