The aegis & intelligencer. [volume] (Bel Air, Md.) 1864-1923, 1905-07-14

The heavy rain on Thursday evening
of last week prevented the Bel Al
minstrels from giving the promised pei
formance at Aberdeen. Since that tim
they have provided themselves with we
weather equipments and will make tn
trip regardless of the atmospheric con
ditions this, Friday, evening. Thei
entertainment in Bel Air is a suthclen
guarantee for pleasant evening ant
every one in that vicinity should go t.
make up the big audience that the boy
have been promised.

+. They were painting the building ant

nistcr's head and arm were both cut

The Daughters of the Confederacy
under the direction of Mrs E. II. d. Pue
and Miss Mary Norris will give minstrel
entertainment in the Assembly Rooms Of
the Masonic Temple Bel Air, on the even.
ing of August 1G. Talent will be fur
niShed by the Chapter. We presage, and
without fear of contradiction. that this
will outrival any previous effort of the
kind that has ever been attempted in Bel
Air. The idea is an original one and
while we are not yet allowed to tell Just
how attractive the programme will be
it can be guaranteed to draw the biggest
house that the town ever saw.
The building of the additions to the
Court House have shown many modern
ideas that have been adopted by me
chanics today. After the brick wall went
beyond the first floor. all the material
was loaded in wheelbarrows and hoisted
by donkey engine to the second story,
where it could readily be taken to the diff
ferent required portions of the building.
A windlasS has been used in hosting the
heavy timbers, which are run over rollers
with very little labor. So far, there has
not been a single hitch about the building
and a more creditablc piece of work cam
not he seen anywhere.
The cncampmcnt of the soldier boys
is now less than month off and Bel Air
is expecting gay week. Many visitors
are engaging Accommodations for the en-
tire stay and big crowd is expected. 1t
is more than probable that the number
of daily visitors from Baltimore will be
much larger than two years ago, as that
encampment did not seem to be sufficient
" advertised. Several mimic battles will
be fought, and the signal corps will soon
make a war map of the vicinity of Bel
Air and several miles out. 1t is certain
that the uniform good order of two years
ago will prevail during the encampment,
and that the members will leave Bel Air
with the continuous good will of its resi-
dents.
The crack team composed of the
Bankers of Bel Air, easily defeated the
Merchants in a one sided game on We'd
neSday afternoon by 4 score of II to +.
Coale, the mainstay of the Merchants
started in to do the twirling but could not
locate the plate, and five runs crossed
the plate in the first inning when he re-
tired in favor of White. The Bankers
PLAYED brilliant fielding game as also
at the bat, White was landed for hits.
For the Bankers, Keen pitched great ball
having the Merchants at his mercy at
all stages of the game. only hits being
made off his delivery, and striking out 9
men. The batting of Bode, Barton,
Keen and Earring was also worthy of
mention. The Merchants are hot aitcra
return game, when with some changes in
their line up. they expect to give the
Bankers a hard rub.
