Mrs. Browne on the Timonium Fair.-"I
should dearly love to go to the Timonium
Falr," said Mrs. Raymond Browne of Harlem
avenue to her friend, Mrs. Allen, today. ''Mr.
Browne went out one day and he has told me
all about the attractions there, and you and /
must go out tomorrow
'The chickens are Just as cute as they can be,
and the pigs are lovely, to say nothing of the

: fnd Poland China rooster at the fair that all
= tfiv- women go crazy over it, and there is a
Cochin China steer that excited the greatest
admiration. The prize winning Jersey pig is
said to be the latest there has been at Timoni-
UNI for several years, and the judges were in
quandary whether to give it the blue ribbon
or to give it to Southdown heifer that had
such pretty eyes.
"Mr Raj Parr has superb exhibit of poul-
try, including an Irish setter that never fails
to hatch big brood, and after the chickens
are hatched Mr.. Parr has the latest improved
day nursery, with an artificial mother to take
care of them and teach them kindergarten
games and motion songs. The calves frisk
about prettily, and there is one Plymouth
Rock calf out there that is perfect picture.
They have very complete exhibit of pigeons,
including Berkshire pigeons, Newfoundland
pigeons and stool pigeons. There are also
pigeon tumblers and turkey goblets until you
would think the whole show was in its cups.
There is polled Angus policeman and
bantam gatekeeper, to say nothing of the Leg
horn marshal, who rides around and preserves
order. There are cabbageheads, muttonheads
blood beets, sugar beets and deadbeats. Mr.
Browne says that although there is no recog-
nized department of piscicuture, yet there are
a great many suckers at the Fair. In the

1.-THE races are most interesting, and Guern-
sey trotter bids fair to make new records and
throw the achievements of Ballyhoo Bey in
the shade. 1t seems that horses are all red and
black except few that are star-green, for Mr.
Browne was talking in his sleep about the
races and was shouting:
"'Five on the red. Red side wins Two
on the black. If one don't win the other will.
The star-green pays five for one and your own
money back
ats queer color for horses, and told Mr.
Browne he better not put any money on them,
for he is color blind, and the chances are he
couldn't tell whether the horse was red or
black. But you and / must go out tomorrow
and see all the Fair for ourselves, and then
we'll appreciate how interesting Mr.. Browne
finds Baltimore Ne,cs."
Public School Matters. Prof. A. s. Cook,
