THE ENCAMPMENT.

The encampment of the First Maryland
Regiment will open at the Fair grounds
on Saturday. Captain Forwood and /.
number of men have been engaged since
the latter part of last week in erecting
the necessary tents and looking after the
many other tedious details incident to
the arrival of the troops. The men will
probably be brought here on two special
trains. They will leave North Avenue
somewhere about the middle of the day
and will march from the station direct to
the grounds. They will be accompanied
by the Fifth Regiment Band of Baltimore,
which will add greatly to the interest OF
the visitors. as we'll as the boys them
selves. Major William II. Grim, surgeon
of the Fifth Regiment, will accompany the
corps. In addition to looking after the
soldiers of the First Regiment, the Major
and his corps, which will consist of about
forty men, will do the same work which
is now being done by the regulars i'll the
hospital department of the Washington
Barracks.
The whole number ofmen will probably
exceed 400, and it is the intention of
Colonel Little to make each days work
the same as i'll the regular United States
service. Most of the time will be taken
up with drills and there will be regimen
tai parade each day. The staff will be
mounted and our peaceful Fair grounds
WILL for the time being, assume quite
warlike spirit.
A large number of visitors will be en-
pected at the encampment. The Mary
| land and Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany has offered exceedingly low rates
of fare and will furnish such special train
service as will be needed to accommodate
the crowd. A special train will leave Bel
| Air each evening at $50 o'clock to take
the visitors back to Baltimore, and as the
encampment has been thoroughly advcr-
tised, the opportunity will doubtless be
embraced by alarge number ofcity people
to get days outing in the country, as
well as 10 inspect the details OIL the lie OI
a regular soldier.
Arrangements are now being made to
entertain the officers with dance, which
will be given in their honor. An invita-
ton will be extended to the Governor by
committee of the citizens of the town,
and he and staff will probably be present
both during the day and at heevenng' S
entertainment, which is to follow.

THE MARYLAND AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE

AT the meeting of the Farmers Organ-
cation of Maryland which was held at
the Maryland Agricultural College on
May Goth and attended by nearly four
hundred delegates, a report was submit
ted by a committee of FIVE, of which Mr..
Joseph I. Hopes, of this county, was a
member. This committee was appointed
to investigate the surroundings of the
College for the enlightenment of the farm
crS of the State. They made very
favorable report, both fthe grounds and
the general condition ofthe College build
ings. The report showed that during the
year there had been 100 students in regu-
lar attendance, ninety-one of which are
SONS of farmers and but one of the ninety
one is taking classical course of study.
There are thirty chemical students, forty
agricultural students and forty-three
mechanical students.
Great progress has been made towards
Transforming this College into what it
should be, i'll fact, Il great technical school
of the first rank with but few induce
nents to strictly classical students who
are and should be provided for at other
institutions in the State Only eight
students are now taking Latin, while ten
years ago over fifty per cent. were taking
the classical course and only very few
| were really following out the courses in
| agricultural and mechanic arts for the
equippmcntforp practical teaching in those
lines was then so mcagcr that real tech
meal students preferred to 60 elsewhere
$50. This year the students have trim
med the orchard, done the spraying, they
examine the farm machinery, i'll opcr; :
ton and at rest, and have paid great and
enthusiastic attention to the hi2 hlv inter
eSting and practical subject of judging
stock and have developed excellent ca
pacity i'll that line 80. We begin to
see the dawn of a brighter day when the
majority ofalliarmers' sons shall be prop
crly equipped theoretically and practically
to follow agriculture as IL profession "**
The Experiment Station, as i'll the past,
is a great and ever increasingly valuable
source of new and practical suggestions
to the farmers to come here or who read
the bulletins that are sent out to 10000
farmers of the State. The work is ad-
mirably systcmatized and arranged+*%
An enormous correspondence is Carried
on between the farmers and the Station.
A half of every day is given by the Dircc-
tor i'll answering letters. 1t would take
two mems time constantly occupied to
answer all the letters.
The last Legislature appropriated
$4,000 for the purpose of making the
following improvements at the College,
SO, 900 to erect additional dormitory
accommodation; So 900 for an addition
to the present mechanical building;
$4,000 for the renovation of the old
dormitory building and $4,000 was also
appropriated to the Experiment Station.
