Saving and Eating Matches.
235D33 ~

Speaking of the development of athletics
on the Eastern Shore-well, down in Tall
bot county novelty is the order of the age,
and the colored population has brought
about the innovation. There the negro
cake-walk is giving way to curious kind
OF entertainment, known as saving and eat
ing matches. 1t originated in st. Michael's,
where the County Industrial School for
Colorea Children is to be established.
Lewis Washington and John Bailey are
charter members, and big crowd assem-
bled to witness the Inauguration Of the new
entertainment, and saving and eating
match between Washington and Bailey,
the terms OF which were that the former
WAS to saw four cord sticks of pine wood,
each into five pieces before the latter ate
three hot mince pies. When Bailey had
eaten one pie, Washington had done saw
ing wood, and was awarded the gate
money. The next was at Ivory Town,
between Joe Lavery, who was to make
fifteen cuts of hiskory wood while George
Green ate twenty-five big ginger cakes, full
moon size. Green was smart enough to
soak his cakes in water, and thus
easily got away with Lavery. 1t is
alleged also that a nail had been driven
surrepttiously into the pathway of the
saw, whereby two teeth were broken.
Saving and eating matches are annou need

certainly at the end Of one or two more sea-
sons The town which jumped from the
lowest plane in record breaking time to
the foremost rank in base ball circles, the
town which boosted a team which reyolu-
tlonized the style of playing the game and
made Baltimore ball" the standard for
other teams to emulate, the town which
went base ball mad and accorded it's
champions favors unparalleled in other
cities-this town is to be wiped from the
base ball map and j. TO sink to the level of
Atlantic Association days. While patrons
OF the national game have themselves to
thank largely for this state of affairs, it is
pity, nevertheless, that the interests of
Baltimore, the seventh city in the United
States in point of size are not better repre-
scented at the meeting Of magnates now
being held in New York. Under the cir
cumstances neither Mr. Hanlon who made
Baltimore his home for business PURPOSES
only, nor Mr.. Won der Horst, who was
content in years gone by TO be the "Moses''
to lead the local children out of the base
ball wilderness, can be blamed if they find
greener pastures in another locality. That
good energetic representation will work
wonders is evidenced by the rapidity with
which the original plan to "throw down"
Brooklyn was changed to include that Sec
tion OF Greater New York. The first indi-
cation OF trouble for Brooklynites brought
down an avalanche of protests from an
indignant constituency and the "powers'
changed front in pure sef-defense. Nay,
more they threw the Baltimore for plum
to them for sop.
The scheme to transfer the Orioles,
manager and all, to Brooklyn, to form the
eight first class" cities into major cir
Quit and the 'stop-over" into the veriest
minor aggregations ever suggested, is still
evolving. The only variation suggested
consisted in q lop-sided of four clubs
Pittsburg, Chicago, st. Louis and Gin
cinnat-in the West, and six-Boston
Brooklyn, New York, Philadelphia, Balti-
more and Washngton-in the East.

The grand jury, after being 10 session
for three days, adjourned Wednesday
evening after submitting The following
report:
THE grand jury was empaneled on
the 2sth day Of November, 1898. and has
since that time been IN continuous ses-
sion. During that time we have Inves-
tigated four criminal charges and have
found two true bills. During the time
this grand jury has been in session we
have visited the poor house and found
1t well managed and In a satisfactory
condition. Three Of the inmates which
we interviewed expressed themselves as
being well satisfied with their treatment.
We also visited the county Jail and the
various county buildings. The county
jail we found perfectly conducted, and
all possible precautions used to prevent
the escape Of prisoners, except the barn
on the outside windows and we would
recommend that these be furthei
strengthened. We find that there is nc
provision for the confinement Of luna.
tics and witnesses retained in custody
and provision for this would appear il
onr estimation desirab and necessary
We visited the Offices Of auditor and re
cOrder, treasurer, assessor and tax col
lector, probate judge and superintendent
of schools, and surveyor. and to the bes
of our observations find them conducted
in proper and businesslike manner
We find the county buildings and Office

ton. We. the grand jury, further re
port that there is no fuather business
for our consideration. therefore we asI
to be discharged. We wish to tende
to this court and its officers our thank
for tire courtesies and kindness extendet
to us while in session"
