September 5. 1SiS.
The third day of the Southern Maryland
Fair Association opened with d large crowd
present, probably the largest for several
| years, there being 10000 people on the
grounds. The bright, pleasant weather add

| from the lower counties came in by ali
| trains, as well as Baltimore and Washing
ton.
The SPECIAL attraction was Governor 6
day. when Governor Lowndes was expected
| to attend, but owing to the extreme rush of
executive business was unable to be pres
ent. The reception committee went over
| to the depot to meet the down train from
| Baltimore, and, despite the regretted ab-
sence of Governor Lownies, were busily en-
gagged in receiving the many distinguished
visitors coming, which included many men,
| bers Of the corn and flour exchange, as well
| as some of the members of advisory boards
| OF different fairs throughout the state in
Guiding Easton, Hagerstown, Frederick,
Rockville and Baltimore county.
Mr.. Jno. s. Cummins of Baltimore county
brought down large delegation and push
ed his plea for the congressional nornina-
tion before the southern Maryland people
| IN spite of the efforts of Mr.. George w
| Heanault who is the prospective candidate
from that section. Mr.. Heanault says he
can carry Prince Georges. Charles and An
! ne Arundle, with a probable chance of Cal
| vert, and that in the event of a combina-
ton with ]. Benz. Camielier of ST Mary's
| he can get them in line He spoke freely
OF the split between Cummins and keefer
