The season Of the Severn Boat Club
will open about the first week in
April. Repairs are 10 be made TO
the interior of the club house and
many improvements will be added.
Fourteen new pictures appropriate TO
aquatics, presented by Mr.. Irving ID.
Ireland, will adorn the walls OF the
sitting room. The float at the boat
house is being oyerhauled. Probably
the most important matter under con
sideratiOn is the purchase Of "a new,
up-to date race boat, probably a four
cared gig. This matter is now in the
hands of a committee on ways and
means, who will also recommend the
style Of boat to be gotten. In the
event Of the purchase Of a new boat
il is expected TO send crew 20 partic-
ipate in the Patapseo regatta during
the coming August. Last season the
club was prevented from participating
in the Harlem river regatta because
of the lack of a suitable boat. The in.
debtedness of the club has been entire
ly paid off and it is on sound basis
generally. Several new members re-.
Gently were enrolled and a lively in
terest is shown by new and old mem
bers alike.

HORSE THIEF AT LARGE
Valuable Animal Stolen From
Mr.. Frank Sears.

daring theft of valuable horse
by parties at present unknown was
committed some time early Wednes-
day morning. Officers are at work ON
the case and while they have as yet
come upon no clues leading to the ap-
prehension of the guilty person, they
are pleased with certain discoveries
which they have made.
The horse is the property of Mr..
Frank Sears, who owns the farm for
merly occupied by the late George
Cole, at Camp Parole. On Wednesday
Mr.. Sears had refused an offer of $3.50
for the hores. which is light sorrel
with two white feet and blazed fore
head Late that night the horse was
safe in the stable, but yesterday morn
ing it was found that the animal had
been stolen. The animal had been
taken out the rear of the barn, across
the old race track located on the farm
and then put out upon the county
road by>way of the old Taylorsville
road. The thief must have had sew
eral hours start and although every
effort was made to come upon him, it
was impossible to locate the horse.
While strong suspicious are enter
tanned as TO who took the horse, it is
expected that some time will be lost
before the theft can be definitely set
tied on this person. As the penalty
for horse stealing is very severe in
this state, it is thought that the
guilty person will exercise extraordi-
nary precautions to prevent arrest.

top OF the pole, melted it, and it fell
down on the grass, burning the grass
in large spot. The lightning went
into the house of the operators, melted

badly behind the induction coils and
leaped across the room to the switch
coil, ran down into the power house
and burned out the instrument there.
