4 BASE. BALL.

The game of base ball between Bel All
and Ilayre de Grace on Saturday was
one of the prettiest ever seen in the county.
The meeting was two evenly matched
mines, and at the end of the ninth inning,
when it was found that Bel Air had won
by the close score of to i the enthusi-
asm of the crowd knew no bounds. tt e
attendance was very large, the visiting
club being accompanied by large num-
Der of rooters This is the first of a series
OF five games to decide the championship
OF Hartford county. 1t was largely a
pitchers battle, and Miller. for Bel Air,
demonstrated that he was one of the best
amateur pitchers in the state. The
honors of the home team were carried off
by Carroll, James and Harlan. At the
bat, Proctor made two hits that were en-
ceedingly timely. Weber, Miller and
Dorr made one each. Wrightson. for the
visitors. pitched fine game. and but for
an unfortunate bunch of hits in the fourt II
inning, was puzzle for our home team.
J. Shippers made three of his teams four
hits, one of which was a two-bagger
Fanwell and Burns also made a good
showing for the visitors.
Ga Thursday afternoon of last week. Il
home team from Aberdeen pl ,yed a nine
composed of Bel Air men, ON the grounds
at Bel Air. 1t was a good exhibition of
ball playing, and although the Aberdeen
boys were shut out, they need not feel
any particular Encouragement. But for
an unfortunate bunch Of errors in one in
ming, when the three winning runs were
made, the rest of the score showed good
playing. The local battery was Rich
ardson and Rouse. Baker and Herring
occupying the box for the Aberdeen boys.
The Bel Air base ball team learned on
Wednesday how to take as we'll as cause
defeat. After her victory last week of
two to one over Walbrook on our home
grounds, she thought she could easily
duplicate it on their grounds n week
later But it did not turn out that way.
Pitcher Miller, like every other man, has
his limit of endurance, and demonstrated
the folly of trying to pitch game on
each of four successive days. Only one
error was charged to the home team, but
Walbrook was SO successful at he bat
that the game resulted in score of 3 to3.
On next Tuesday afternoon Walbrook
will be given a chance to do the little
deed over again at Oriole Park. Balti-

when Democracy viii Die"

tFrom the Congressional Record)
MIR. Gaines, of Tcnnessee-''Mr. Speak,
err, | know that what shall read the Re
publicans will enjoy, becauseit is entitled
When Democracy Will Die An Old
Hickory Democrat has put into verse The
following conditions under which and
the time when Democracy will die:
When the lion eats grass like an OK,
And the tishworm swallows the whale;
When the terra pin knits wooden socks,
And the hare is outrun by the snail:
When scrpents walk upright like men,
And doodle bugs travel like frogs;
When the Grasshopper feeds on the hen
And feathers are found on hogs:
When Thomas eats swim in the air,
And elephants rooSt upon trees;
When insects in summer are rare,
And snuff never makes people sncezc;
When the fish creep over dry land,
And mules on velocipedcs ride;
When foxes lay eggs in the sand,
And women in dress take no pride;
When Dutchmen no longer drink beer.
And girls get to preaching on time;
When the billy goat butts from the rear
And treason no longer is crime;
When the humming- bird brays like an ass,
And limburger smells like cologne;
When plowshareS are made out of glass,
And hearts of TenneSSeeans are stone,
When sense grows in Republican heads,
And wool on the hydraulic ram;
Then the Democratic party will be dead,
And this country not worth d.

This trip will be invaluable to the mem
bers, as they will have the opportunity
of inspecting nurseries which cover about
900 acres. 1t is not intended to have
any special exhibits at this meeting, but
the managers will be glad to have any
member bring fresh fruit to show what
his locality is doing.
The annual meeting of this association
will be held in the Fifth Regiment Ar
mory, Baltimore, on December 5 and q.
The place of this meeting gives plenty OF
room, where an extensive exhibit can be
shown, and the $500 in prizes ought to
encourage every horticulturalist to be
represented in exhibit that is expected.
The prizes are divided among fruits,
vegetables and flowers, and the premium
list shows sufficient range to cover al
most every know WIN variety Ct each.
The success of the Maryland Horticul-
tural Society means much for the agil-
cultural interests of the State, and we
hope that the interest this year will be
greater than ever before.

FallstOn Farmers Club

The FallstOn@Farme Club met on
June 30 at pheasant Prospect the
home of Mr.. Charles E. Burton. The
place is well named. and is kept i'll a man
ner sufficiently pleasing to attract the
attention of even the casual observer.
The host takes much pleasure and
evinced more than usual pride in main
tanning his magnificent home in attrac-
tive STYLE.
The following members were present.
Messrs. CarviI Amoss, ] O. Watson. X.
S. Preston, Hutchinson w. HAYS, ". G.
Hoskins, the visitors being MIR. and Mrs.
John Wilson, Mr.. and Mrs. George Halle,
Mrs. William Burton and Mrs. Charles
Gorsuch.
The following committee of inspection
was named: Messrs. James o. Watson,
Carvil Amoss and ". G Hoskins. While
the tour of inspection did not ex tend over
the entire farm, which contains about
$50 acres, living i'll the gently sloring
Long Green Valley, along the line of the
Maryland and Pennsylvania railroad,
it was nearly all presented to the view
of the entire club without much effort.
This view from the well kept lawn in
cludes almost the entire property. The
beautiful flowers were tastefully arranged
and gave a charming environment to his
residence.
The committee found stock of 81
COWS, heifers, horses. colts. and a
lot of hogs and pigs, all being in good
condition. The growing crops include
+3 acres of grass, 20 acres of wheat,
acres of oats, 80 acres of corn, all above
the average.
After the report of the committee, the
club and the visitors were escorted to the
dining room. where they were RECALLED
with splendid repast, prepared in the
daintiest manner by the hostess.
The SUBJECT selected for discussion was
"Thc curing of grain and grass" A
lengthy talk on the various methods of
meeting the different conditions was
joined in by all present. 1t was found
by comparison that the same general
principles prevailed with all Of the far
merS.
The club adjourned to meet at the
home of Mr.. J. B. Twining, at Jingle
side farm on Saturday, August 4.

MIR. Roger Whiteford, son of Mr..
Joseph S Whiteford, of Whiteford, who
recently graduated with first honors at
Western Maryland College. has been
elected to the principalship of the new
high school recently organized at Sandy
Springs, Montgomery county, and has
accepted the position. 1t is no small
task to orgapiz. such an institution, but
we believe the new principal will be fully
equal to the task Sandy Springs is
cultivated community which, with its
large sprinkling of Friends, and the gen.
eral lines of its make up, has often been
compared to our Darlington neighbour
hood. Here has been conducted for
number of years the Friends Boarding
School, under the auspices of the Hal
lowels; it has educated some OF Har-
ford's fairest daughters, and has deser-
vedlv high reputation for all that true
education stands for. We look for an
equally successful future for their high
school.
MIR w. w. Crosby, chief engineer of
the Highways Commission has received
but one bid to construct a portion of the
proposed macadam road between Balti-
more and Washington. The amount OF
the bid for Az miles was between $685.
900 and $40, 900, which was the estimat-
ed cost made by Mr.. Crosby. The Legis-
Iature of 1906 appropriated 500, 600 for
this purpose, and it is said that the sum
will not be sufficient to complete the
work The law that made the appropria-
ton contemplated the employment of
prisoners from the House of Correction
for doing part of the work but owing to
more lucrative contracts, and the small
number of offenders now at this institu-
ton, this portion of the law is not practi-
cable. The Highways Commission will
have a difficult problem to solve, and |
may decide that they have the authority |
to go as far as the 100000 appropria-
ton will allow, and rely on the next |
Legislature to furnish money 10 complete |
the work.
About / l o'clock on Tuesday MORN
ing, supposed cloudburst occurred near
Sharon station, on the Maryland and
Pennsylvania railroad. In an hours
time, rain fell in such torrents as to raise |
the waters of Stirrup run to the height
of carrying away the county bridge. 1t
was lodged about half mile down in
the field of Mr.. Stewart Hornberger. In
the meadow was pasturing horse be-
longing to Mr.. John Cain. While the
water was highest, the animal tried
to ford it. The seething whirl swept it
off its feet and it also was carried about
half mile, until near the residence of
Mr.. Cain an eddy landed it upon the
bank. Strange to say, the animal was
alive, although its back was broken, and
it was otherwise bruised up by logs and
other debris which was in the torrent.
Mr.. Hornberger's fields were washed
considerably, but no serious damage
was done Rain also fell in torrents
near Chestnut HILL Deer Greek was
raised five feet. The next heard of this
cloudburst was in the vicinity of Perry
man. The rainfall there was very heavy
and all the streams were raised to con-
siderable height. No particular damage
was reported.

MAY USE "WHlTE COAL"

The city papers contained a recent arti-
Gle which concerns the local interests of
Hartford county. 1t is said that the
PENNSYLVANIA railroad is to control the
two power houses that are to be erected
on the Susquehanna river, one at Nc
Calls Ferry and the other near Como
wingo, and that electricity will be uti-
lied as an operating power for this rail-
road. This corporation is of course not
known i'll the matter at present, as it is
important to keep its identity under
cover until the proper time. This sug-
gestion comes under the headlines OF
using white coal" The term was origi-
nally applied to the silk mills of northern
Italy, which have lately been successfully
operated by water power coming from
the Pyrenees mountains.
The development of this force and the
construction OF the necessary appliances
will mean the expenditure of at least
$50, 100000. 1t is intelligently argued
that the Pennsylvania railroad will rur
all of it's trains south of Philadelphia by
the motive power thus manufactured
Each succeeding year sees approaching
perfection in the transmission of the cur
rent, and it is claimed that the time il
not far distant when it can be carried 1
