The Baltimore county fair will be
held on September 4, 5, 6, 7 and s. AS
Hartford now has no fair, the people of
the county will. as a matter of course,
help our neighborng county, both by
making exhibits and attending the exhi-
btion. The fairs of Timonium have
been successful OF late years, and it is
said that the present exhibition will far
outclass any previous efforts.

sentcd by delegation.
-Workmen are busily engaged in dis |
mantling the old Pennsylvania railroad |
bridge at Havre de Grace. The first |
work was taking out the draw, after
which the piers, which row stand direct
IL in the channel of the river, will be re-
| moved 1t is said that it will take a |
| year and half before the old structure
is entirely thing of the past Trains

over the new bridge, the schedule time
being two minutes for nearly that many
miles.
1t is said that the potato blight is
extending to the upper portion of Balti-
more and Hartford counties, and that i'll
some localities there is scarcely patch
that has not been affected by the blight.
This is a disease which flourishcs in
warm, wet weather, and it is under such
conditions when the spors multiply rap
idly and extend their terminating tubes,
which are exceedingly small and can only
be seen through microscope These
germs penetrate the leaves and affect the
entire plant.

"A pleasing entertainment was heldin
the Masonic Temple, Bel Air, on Friday
evening, for the benefit of the Bel Air
base ball club. 1t was under the drec-
ton of Miss Bessye Cover. The talent
was local, with the exception OF Mr..
Charles Andrew Mccain, of Baltimore.
Those taking part were Misses Worth
ington and Webb, Mr.. Charles II. McCo-
mas and the McComas Brothers Quar-
tette The programme was admirably
rendered and deserved better audience,
especially when it's worthy object is con-
sidered.
"A tournam was held at ny Ladys'
Manor on Wednesday,, it being the second
of the season. In the professional class
Mr. Charles E. Howard was the winner,
giving one of the finest exhibitions OF rid
ingever seen in that locality. In each of
three tits and two ties, he took straight
rings missing not single one. MIR. w.
T. Richardson won the privilege of
GROWING the queen of love and beauty |
and bestowed this honor upon Miss |
Ethel Tolley, daughter of Judge E. Carvil |
Tolley. The tournament was |
thoroughly enjoyable affair and conduct
ed il manner rejecting great credit to
the chivalry of upper Hartford.
The Hartford Turnpike Company has
filed bond pending jury trial of its
case, which was passed upon by sher
ifs jury last week. 1t will be remem-
bered that the company's road-bed was
found in such condition that Judge Dun
can passed an order prohibiting the col
lection of tolls unit! the proper repairs
had been made. The filing Of this bond
is in penalty for refunding all tolls col
lected on and after August 4 until the
final determination of the case, which
shall be tried in September. A similar
proceeding against the turnpikes in this
county would probably make the owners
put the same in better condition.
On Tuesday, Charles Stansbury, col
ored, was before Justice Norris on the
charge of cruelty to animals. The war
rant was sworn out by Mrs ii. E. Old
field, who claimed that the defendant had
been numerically beating his horse. The
case was dismissed. 1t appeared from
the evidence that the negro man was
trying to get to Bel Air by 10 O'Clock
with witness who had been summoned
before the Orphans Court. and that his
animal was balky. AS soon as Mrs. Old
field told him to stop whipping it, he did
so and it was afterwards suggested that
he turn the horse out in the field, which
the negro promptly did. He displayed
great willingness to accept suggestions
and gave no impudence in return.
