into history since last we met and with
most of US 1t has been a period of more
than passing interest, pregnant with
thoughts and deeds pertaining to our
noble order. Nor are we here by acci-
dent, but have assembled for a great
and good purpose; then let each one of
be very careful to attend to that spe-
cifc duty for which our respective lodges
sent us, so that when we return to our
homes we can render true and faith
full account of our stewardship.
While the growth of our noble order
from its inception in the grand jurisdic-
ton to the present time has been steady
and unremitting, yet at no time in its
history have we had such accesSions az
In the year Just closing. And yet, by one
united and persistent effort this can be-
made but the dawning of a new era in the
history of this great order. Letters of
inquiry are being received weekly as to
the establishment OF new lodges, and men
in every section of our great state are

Tech Beat Maryland Farmers.

COLLEGE PARK. April 28.-The Mary
land Agricultural College base ball team
met its second defeat of the season yester-
day afternoon at the hands of theFTechnicl
High School Club Of Washington, the Wis
ftors capturing the game by the score Of O
to T. In the beginning Of the game Capt
Bassett's finger was split by pitched ball.
and his place behind the bat was taken by
Evans. Terrell. MaryIand's southpaw box
artist, apparently did not have confidence in
Evans ability to handle his benders and be-
came erratic. After he had given several
bases on balls Dixon took his place, but he,
too. was wild. and besides giving several
bases on balls struck several men. The fact
that the visitors made but two hits and six
runs shows that strong hitting did not win
them the game. Sturzer, for Technical
High School was complete mystery to the
agriculturists. they making but a single
clean drive during the game. He was also
very wild, and practically all OF the runs
made by the farmers were due to his IN
ability to locate the plate. The first Of the
games in the intercollegiate championship
series begins Saturday. Maryland Agricui-
tural College playing st. Johns in Annap-
oils.

Roseben and Captain w. s. Williams
western champion Rams Horn met in the
Sterling stakes at Aqueduct yesterday.
Roseben, the popular favorite. played by
the sentimental betting public, but not by
the wise men of the turf, turned out the
easiest sort of winner. 'ss
With great fash OF speed the big
sprinter went away at the fall of the flag
on his mile journey and before the half
mile post was reached he had Rams Horn
and the iatter's stable companion, Phil
Finch, and an added starter all straight
ened out to their limit Time after time the
game Rams Horn tried to catch the flying
leader. but in vain for he passed under the
wire two lengths behind the favorite. In
addition to the first meeting of the year
between crack horses OF the east and west
yesterdays race was to serve as a try-out
for Roseben for the Metropolitan handicap,
to be run at Belmont Park on May 10. over
the mile course. The easy way in which
Roseben galioped the distance. hard held
by Jockey Lyme, in 1.40 1-5, won him new
admirers for the big stake.

GEORGE WASHINGTON
SURPRISED GEORGIA LADS

George Washington did something in the
surprise hne yesterday afternoon. when
the strong aggregation OF the University
OF Georgia went down before the Hatchet-
ties upon University Field by score of
IL to IL. But though the victory went
against Tommy Stout's Georgia boys, still
they went after victory In a way that
caused Capt. Bradleys men TO bat their
hardest. 1t was batting streak on the
part of both sides, and during the contest
neither side seemed to care the least which
pitcher was In the box. and as a result
both Georgia and George Washington used
up two pitchers.
For the local men Hutchinson was on
the slab during the first part of the game
and Thomas later. For the visitors Nc

one of the best college batfers that ever
made his appearance In this city was on

ed in the first inning, and Hutchinson tor
