THE COURT OF APPEALS.
Decisions In Important Cases are
Delivered Today.

The Court of Appeals met this
morning and delivered opinions i'm
number of cases which we're argued
during the January term. Among
them were:
BY Judge Penrce-The Ncel Con
struction Company of Baltimore CITY
against The Atlas Portland Cement
Company, appealed from the Superior
Court of Baltimore City This suit
was broughtiby the appellant IT, cover
an alleged breach of contract 90 Ge.
liver %, 600 barrels of cement Which
were TO be used in the construction og
the midshipmen quarters at the Ma
val Academy.
The contract for the pCrchase OF the
cement was originally made by Edgar
Nj. Noel and David w Thomas, then
partners, and il was assigned 90 the
Noel Construction Company ON its
formation. A lengthy correspondence
took place between the CONSTRUCTION
Company and the Cement Company
during the summer and fall of 1902.
and during that time the price of ce-
ment was steadily. rising. Finally,
the appellee informed the appellant
that they would not carry out the con
tract. The appellant then procured
the cement from other places, hut no
tlfed the appellee that taey would
hold them responsible for the differ
enoe in the contract price.
At the trial of the case in the lower
court the prayer of the defendant that
there was no evidence legally sufficient
to entitle the plaintiff to recover was
allowed and this ruling forms tho
basis of the appeal The Court Of
Appeals reversed the decision aud
awarded a new trial on the ground
that a letter written by the appellee
informing the appellant that il would
execute a contract with them If DC
was sent and the fact that such con
tract was sent by the appellant 20 q o
appellee was sufficient to form bind
ing contract between the parties.

cause of its purpose and nature, has
seldom been entirely self. supporting.

Track And Field Meet.

The midshipmen have sent a ohal-
lenge to the Johns Hopkins track and
field team to dual meet. The mid
dies desire the meet to take place at
the Naval Academy and suggest either
May 10 or May 26 as the da se. The
challenge will probably be accepted.
Last year Hopkins challenged the
midshipmen to dual meet, but the
challenge was declined No overtures
were made by Hopkins this year, and
the communication from the Acad.
emy was unexpected. The Hopkins
team is unusually strong this year,
and contest with the crack navy ath-
letes would be sure to produce fine
sport. No steps have yet been taken
toward definitely closing arrange
ments for the meet, but there is every
probability that the deal will be
settled in few days.
