first game that Bel Air has ever won
from Srarrows Point and the rooters are
correspondingly elated.
Mr.. John W. D. Clayton, prominent
farmer of near Fork, recently sawed his
way through Wiker's toll-gate, on the
Hartford pike. short distance below his
farm. MIR Clayton's contention is that
the company charged more toll than is
allowed by law, ii having the right to
collect 212 cents mile. Toll gates are
unpopular in these modern times any
how, and more especially so when the
road-beds are allowed to get in bad con-
dition.
This week the Gamers are very busy
getting their hands ready for the active
packing of tomatoes, which will begin IN
| a few days. The outlook for the early
crop is good, while the late planting will
probably make short crop. Many OF
the canning houses will this year run
largely on local help, as tits preferable to
that brought from Baltimore. How
ever, a number still have to import the
'Bohemians, who have been their stand
by for years.

The Maryland and Pennsylvania
railroad has recently received two new
passenger cars that were built for it by
Jackson and Sharp, of Wilmington, Della
ware. They are up-to-date vehicles and
present a pleasing appearance. The in
side finish is oak, and the trimmings are
plush. The springs are of an improved
fashion and very comfortable with either
light or heavy loads. A particular fea-
ture, however, is the way that they are
lighted up. 1t is now possible for night
travellers to read ordinary print with
comfort. Captain Golden's crew has one
of the cars and Captain Myers the other.

An opportunity is to be afforded the
people of this community on Thursday,
August 3Oth, to hear what is probably
the finest musical production ever rem
dered in Bel Air, when the beautiful can
tata, 1.-The Holy City," by Alfred X.
Gaul, will be given by the local choral
club This is the first time anything so
ambitious has ever been attempted by
our local musicians, but the work of the
chorus at the recent rehearsals gives
promise of finished and artistic musical
treat. The choruses will be interspersed
with solos, duets and quartets, all of
which are remarkable for their melndic
beauty. Although the work of directing
the choruses is no small task in itself,
Mr.. Robarts, the director, has also con
sented to sing the baritone solos.
