Successful Affair at Mt. Washington.
The June Fiesta of the Lend-A-Hand Club Of
Mount Washington, held at the Casino last
Saturday afternoon and evening, was success
far beyond the expectations even OF the pro-
motors. The fun began at o'clock in the
afternoon, and the last wall of the zobo circus
band did not die away until after midnight.
1t rained, but it mattered not. Afternoon and
evening the grounds were crowded with the
whole population of Mount Washington and a
generous sprinkling of residents from the sur
rounding country and Baltimore. The Fiesta
was given in order to raise funds for needed
Improvements upon the Casino, the home Of
the Lend-A Hand Club.
The Casino was prettily decorated with pot
ted plants, evergreens and an abundance of
Chinese lanterns. The snpper-room was a
bower of green, and was entirely too small to
accommodate the crowd of diners. The fea-
lures of the afternoon were the May-pole dance
and the baby show. The May-pole dance was
given by number of little maidens, daintily
dressed in pink and white, with wands and
flags. They made pretty picture. Then
followed the baby show, which was under the
charge of Mr.. Ross Holloway. The babies
were formed into procession, each youngster
being seated in a carriage, which was all
flowers and ribbons. No one could be found
who would take the responsibility of awarding
the prizes, so popular vote was taken. 1t
resulted in the following awards:
First Prize--Miss Margaret Lawrence,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John A. Lawrence, of
Mount Washington.
Second-Master Paul Norris.
Third-Master Allan Higgins, of Baltimore
During all Of this time the Mems Auxiliary,
better known as the Borrow-a-Foot Club, was
holding a circus and sideshow to the left Of
the Casino. 1t was under the charge of Mr..
NAV Aatrained elephant,i Mr.. Joseph Oliver;
"trained dog from the village of Mount Wash
ington," Mr.. Edward Mealey; "trapeze per-
former" Mr. Gill "glass-eater," Mr.. David
fed man." Mr.. Kemp; clown" DR.. Todd.

Reisterstown, 4th District.-Probably
the worst road in Baltimore county is that por-
ton of the Reisterstown and Oakland Mills
road which runs from the Nicodemus to the
Deer Park road. The constant passing to and
fro of mill teams has so cut up the road that
it is only with great difficulty that a buggy
can make progress. Lately load of coal was
stalled on this road and had to be left in the
mud until the next day. Whose business it is
to keep that road in order l know not. Per-
haps, Messrs. Editors, you can help to find
out, and if this causes the repair of the pres
ent condition, somebody will be thankful.
The sample road known as SHADES ave-
nue. has attracted a good deal of attention.
For years have advocated making just such
sample road of the beautiful avenue C'beau-
tiful" in good weather) which runs by All
Saints Church and which connects Reisters.
town with Glyndon. Such a sample road
would be necessarily inspected by hundreds OF
people week by week, and would no doubt act
as an object lesson to teach a useful lesson to
many of our roadmenders and supervisors:
