OUR OPPORTUNITIES.

Our proximity to Washington, now
one of the most wonderful and beauti-
ful cities Of the world, is an advantage
that the people Of this county do not
sufficiently appreciate. A glance at
the map will show that in the way of
railroad facilities Prince Georges has
recently become conspicuous. There
is scarcely anything more that is need
cd in this line. AS 4 consequence ma
tcral prosperity is only a matter OF
time Travellers on the Baltimore
and Chic railroad are impressed with
the remarkable improvements that
have been made in tie upper sections
of the county. Like improvements
are also conspicuous in the region
binding upon the Pennsylvania rail
road and its branches that traverse
this section Evidences Of great pro-
grcss and development along the Ches-
apcake Beach road are already visible.
The excellent train service that brings
the county seat within twenty min
utcs ride of the National Capital and
an equal distance from an attractive
and growing seaside resort will GER
tainly prove great incentive to de
velopment, if any enlightened public
spirit can be aroused.
We cannot awaken any interest in
cur section, however, in advertising
ourselves by political wrangles, by
examinations and recriminations, by at
tcmpts to ignore law, 10y petty politics
and high taxes. Good, economical and
progressive government is what we
most need to attract settlers here.
Good roads, worked upon scientific
methods and with improved machines,
enlightened policies of local govern
mcnt, the encouragement of home cn-
terprises will all help in promoting the
prosperity and happiness Of people
Notable Improvements have Lecn
made in this town within the past few
wears. and now that we are soon to
have q local National bank in addition
to The many other advantages, there is
reason 10 be hopeful for the future.
Jet us have peace.

1t is unfortunate, says tue Phila-
delphia Times, that Dewey and Samp-
son made claims for double prize boun-
ty upon grounds which could not be
sustained by the court. 1t would
have been vastly better for the repnta
ton OF both had they conceded the
now obvious fact that they fought
an inferior or equal foe, and thus es-
capped the appearance of making un-
Just demands upon the government.
Congress has wisely wiped out navy
prize bounty. and it would have been
we'll for both Dewey and Sampson if it
had been abolished before the Spanish

In discussing the Chinese situation
the pittsburg Times says: at is the
business of the United States to pre-
tcct its citizens in China, but in Going
hat much the duties of this country
do not involve anything that lends
sanction to the scheme Of dismember
ing the Empire. This country is con
cern2l in maintaining the integrity Of

been paired with Quincy A. Shaw, jr., amateur

of a relative the latter did not play.
The Philadelphia courts the fastest in this
country, and this fact favored the Englishmen,
who displayed remarkable form In the rallies La
difficulty. and their loss OF the third fourth
and fifth was due in great measure Miles's
inability to take the balls from the side walls In
the deciding game the returns were made with al
most lightning rapidity, and the following close

is probable that several changes will be made in
the present list of officers Word comes from BOs-
ton to the effect that Mr.. Thomas will decline
denomination to the presidency, owing to the
would occasion keen regret. his fitness for the
wise regulation of the associations affairs has
been abupdantly shown in the last year. 1t Is be-
neved by golfing here. however that suffi-
cient pressure will be brought to bear to induce
him TO continue in Office for another year at least
1t is also probable that H. ]. Whgham will retire
from the ce-presidency. Whigham Is abroad
and uncertain as TO his return. and IL is felt that
he should be replaced by who can take a
more active part In the leagues affairs. With
these exceptions. however. it is probable that the
old ticket will be submitted for reelection.
Interest In the expected visit of Harry Vardon Is
spreading rapidly. 1t is understood that the
Lakewood Golf Club will offer purse for an exhi-
bition match between Vardon and the metropolitan
amateurs. and the Garden City Golf Club is talking
of a similar plan. President Kerr of the Lakewood

The expert who has carefully made the rounds of
the amphitheatre, sat down, drawn conclusions and
made a few comparisons with former exhibits will
to about these conclusions:
1t has been said that automobiles were first ex-

is not the case. Last year there were five exhib-
itors automobiles at the exhibition. showing ten
different sorts OF machines. This year there are
ten individual exhibitors, showing thirty-two ma

One OF the most significant features OF the show
is the practical death of the big machines called
"quads' and trips Only seven of the makers
show tandems, while there is not a triplet in the
show. Neither is there quad" "quint."
There is only one sextuplet. and that Is incom-

there Is only motor cycle in the show. Elgh-

OF these appliances.
