The entire crew and the captains

ORANGE BLOSSOM DEAD.
A Well-KnOwn Trotting Stallion Who Has
Many Descendants in this County.

Hart B. Hoton's famous trotling stallion
Orange Blossom. the sire of many fast race
horses, died of old age on March 30, at the
Fair View Farm, at Powhatan, Baltimore
county. If Blossom had lived seven days
more he would have been 81 years old.
As many horses sired by Orange Blossom
are owned in this and adjoining counties, the
following from the Philadelphia Pa. Ledger
should be preserved by those who own them:
'By the death OF the stallion Orange Bios
som, Baltimore county, Maryland, lost horse
which had made equine history. Orange
Blossom was to the horse family of that State
what his grandsire, Hambletonian 10. was to
the general breeding of light. harness horses.
He did not have the advantage of being mated
with many standard and record mares, but
from ordinary road mares he produced trot-
tiers of marked worth. He had a mark of
2264, but was cut down in race when he
was years old, else he would doubtless have
cut many seconds off his record
Orange Blossom was foaled in 1867 at Mid
dletown, n. Y. His sire was Middletown,
BY Hambletonian 10. His dam was Nellie
Post, by American Star. Orange Blossom
was bred by d. NJ. Irwin, who sold him to the
late John McCaull, of Salem, Va, who in
turn sold him TO Mr.. Hollon. About twenty
of the horses get got marks of , 30 or better.
Among these were Daisy Blossom, 2l9I:
Doctor Bill, 229}; Garrison, ,. 25l Hunter
Rye, :. 233; Mike, 2.l5; Orange Chief, 2.13l /;
Orange Bay, 2.ls}; Prince Orange, 2,20},
and Orange Leaf, 2.29l.
Many of Orange Blossoms sous and daugh-
tiers have produced fast ones. Since Orange
Blossoms retirement from the stud Brad
street, by Banker, dam Fanny D., has been
st the head ofthe Meadow View stud. Orange
Blossom is buried il front Of his stable"

Wire Ana Pole Nuisance.

Wires and poles on the streets of Wesimin-
ster are becoming as much of a nuisance as IN
Baltimore and other cities. Telephone and
electric light companies plant poles wherever
II suits their convenience, regardless OF the
Disagreement of the streets and the marring of
private properties.
Telephones and electric lights are public
convenience and a necessity, but their Install
meut should be done with more care for the
appearance of the streets and consideration OF
priyaie property. The Disagreement of streets
Is mostly due to indifference upon the part OF
cornoraie authorities and worse than inditfer-
ence upon the part of the companies.
To save the planting of an extra pole or two,
peles will be planted at the most convenient
points that will save expense. Economy IS
The guiding rule in extending wiz s-appear
ance of the streets and the Disagreement OF
private properties receive no consideration
There is no incentive to improve property,
so long as telephone and electric light compa-
MES are at liberty to place poles opposite ones
doors. Not only are the wires and poles un
slightly but they are becoming so multiplied
that it will not be long before they may inter
fere with the movement of hremen at certain
points in the event of fire.
There are wires aud poles now up. that could
have been placed in alleys, but the alleys will
not be used so long as there is no public pro-
test and the city authorities are silent
The pole and wire question should be taken
up by the Mayor and Council at once, and
wherever possible they should require poles
removed from the streets and placed IN alleys.
