RACES AT BELMONT DRIVING PARK
Contested Last Friday at a Matinee that Was
SIImly Attended and With But Two of the
Three Rsces-LOOd Baseball Game,

The races at Belmont Driving Park
Friday afternoon did not turn out to
be the success that was anticipated
owing to the inclement weather and
other conditions that prevented many
from being present. The attendance
was very small and but two races were
contested, the 2.2O class and the 2.3O
class. John F. Goldsborough was the
starter and the judges were J. H. Nor
ris, of Clayton, and DR.. W. L. Ryan,
of this town. There were three en-
tries in the 2.30 class, Brownie B."
owned by Frank Boyer;"Dan Wilkes"
by Frank Gootee, and MAY RUSSELL
by E. 3. Carter, of Henderson, Md.
Brownie B" won the two first heats
and ''Dan Wilkes" the third. Only
two horses were entered in the 2.2O
class, Josh Rawley," owned by Fred
Thomas, and "Happy c." owned by
S. A. Fortner. Josh Rawley'' won
both heats. An interesting feature
of the program was a baseball game
between Marydel and Smyrna. The
two teams were evenly matched and
the spectators were given a lively
game. Fox and Ford were the battery
for Marydel and Seyil and Collins for
Smyrna. At the beginning of the
eighth inning the score stood 2 to
in Smyrna's favor when Smyrna took
on batting streak and scored two
more runs, making the final score 4 tc

ANOTHER cOLORED CHURCH FOR SMYRNA
Rev. c. A. Brown Of the Union American NJ. E.
Church Purchases Site on East Street.

Rev. G. A. Brown, colored, repre-
senting the Union American NJ. E.
Church, who wanted to erect tent on
Jefferson's lot East street for the pur
pose of holding meetings, appeared
before Town Council Friday evening
to know if he could be allowed the
privilege. Owing to the recent dis
turbances near Mt. Friendship Camp,
Clayton, in which one man was killed
and several injured while playing a
game of crap, the Council seemed un-
willing to allow a colored camp to go
on within town limits and after discus
sion, Rev. Brown was advised to call
the meeting off. Hence the meeting
advertised for last Sunday did not take
place. Rev. Brown has since given up
the camp meeting idea and has pur'
chased four building lots near the
colored school house on East street.
paying Mr.. j. Henry Jefferson $4OC
for the four lots. He expects to break
ground this week for a chapel which
will be a one-story frame structure
When completed the church will b.
dedicated and will start with mem
bership of twenty-six.

Ied Notice and no Services Held Sunday.
Owing to the recent disturbances at
Mt. Friendship Campmeeting Grove,
near Clayton and fearing that more
trouble might take place last Sunday,
Detective Ratledge and Constable W.
NJ. Boyer went out TO Mt. Friendship,
last Friday and served notice on the
authorities from Attorney General
Richards, that they must close their
camp for the balance of the season.
Pastor Biven and the church leaders
would like to have held services
another Sunday but they complied
with the orders and showed a willing
ness to do anything for the best. The
pastor and members of the church
deeply regret the occurrence and while
order was maintained and successfully
enforced within the camp grounds
throughout the meetings, there was
nevertheless a desire on the part OF
the officials to break up the rowdyisn
on the part of those who fingered or
the outside. The best negro elemen
