- Perhaps never in its history has the
York road between Towson and Baltimore,
been in such a condition as it has been within
the past three week. There have been so many

accidents have occurred, however.

1T is unusual for team to stall going
down hill, but that is what one did on the
Dulany's Valley turnpike, near the toll-gate,
last Monday. The wagon was loaded with
lumber on its way to Glen Ellen farm. Twelve
horses and mules were attached and they
couldn't budget it. When pike gets like this
what must the average country road be like?

took to New York the pair of Red Robert

condition and wore the handsome clothes that
their English owner had sent to America for
them.

half that amount. Mr.. Reckord has for many
years been engaged in various kinds of bust
turnpike, and is well known.

more papers have been raising a howl about
the docking of horses and also the clipping of

"the style" for driving and saddle horses to
have long tails then we may expect to see
them as nature made them, and not before
Dame Fashion is heartless jade.
