S. Edie's grove, near Norr' sville, On Thursday
August 10. Distinguished speakers will be
present and the NCrrisville Comet Band will

are the chief events of the Long Corner. Up
per Hartford and Baltimore counties and lower
York, all of which are well repfo sented in the
membership OF the club, seem to vie with each
other rs to which shall contribute the mcst
toward the success of the undertaking. The
reunion is made matter of great emulation
among the farmers of the peighborhood, and
to the festive character Of the assemblage is
added a feature which is we'll worthy of adop-
ton by the other clubs of the county. The
best products OF the garden, truck patch and
field are brought there on exhibition and the
interchange of experiences aud thought,
which form practical part of the meeting,
have already been productive of much improve
NEXT in the peghbCrhood. Remember the
date. 1t will be well worth attending.

The Excursion on FRIDAY.

The Third annual excursion of West Hartford
place on Friday, to Tolchester Beach. The
affair has grown in popularity since its incep-
ton, and on this occasion the preparations
were inadequate for the large crowd which
was in attendance. Over five hundred per-
sons, a vast majority of whom were from Ii ar
ford COUNTY, embarked upon the steamer
Louise and were taken safely to the handsome
grounds of the Colchester Company. Upon
the arrival of the train at Bait more number Of
trolley cars were waiting at the B. & l. depot.
and upon the return of the boat, at G. 80 z. NJ d.,
were in readiness to return the excursionists
to the train.
Every station along the railroad, from Delta
to Glenarm, furnished its quota, the largest
delegation, that from Jarrettsville, boarding
the cars at Baldwin.
The day passed quietly and pleasantly In
the grove and on the beach, and every one en-
ioyed the sail across the broad Chesapeake
and the outing in old Kents famous resort.
The amusements are varied in their nature,
and each is the best of its kind. One of the
miniature locomotive engine, which is said to
be the smallest in the world. 1t does not
measure, smoke stack and all, three feet in
height, and yet has all the requirements of q
perfect railroad engine.
A game of base ball was played between a
club from Baltimore and the Jarrettsville
team, which resulted disastrously for the
country boys. A pleasant feature Of the day IS
outing was the old-fashioned pic mic dinner
parties which were scattered around under
the trees. One or two organizations from
Baltimore city were on the ground, and there
were several thousand persons present. Rev.
w. W. Davis had charge OF the excursion and
deserves great credit for not only designing
but carrying out the enjoyable programme.
1t required seven cars to return the excur-
sionists to Hartford, and even then comfortable
sitting-room was not provided until the train
reached Fallston.
