The Baby Carnival.

The baby show and carnival,
held at the Fair Grounds on
Thursday afternoon of last week,
for the benefit of the Frederick
City Hospital, was certainly an
unprecedented success. The Guild,
under whose auspices it was
given, have decided to make it
an annual event. The receipts
were most gratifying and will net
about $500. AS a whole the
awarding Of the prizes gave sat
isfaction, although, as is natural,
there were some disappointments.
The consolation prizes were
awarded on Saturday night.

Republican State Convention.

The boom for Reno S. Harp,
Chairman of the County Central
Committee, for Chairman of the
State Central Committee. was
short lived, if indeed it had any
substance at all. He received
some newspaper notices, but wien
it came to the test only one other
county besides his own, was with
him. Chairman John b. Hanna.
of Belair, was triumphantly re-
elected at the Republican State
Convention in Baltimore, on
Wednesday. Resolutions strong
ly denunciatory of the disi'ran-
chising amendment were adopted,
and Secretary Charles j. Bona
parte INDUCED in some of his
homely paragraphs in attacking
the amendment, which seems to
be his one sore spot. The resolu'
tions charge all kinds of crime
political to the Democratic party
and leaves the Republicans high
and dry on the altar of purity.

erence to the disposal of the ques-
ton of the forfeiture of the bond
