S bats with the Bel Air team on the form.
2 er's grounds last Saturday The former
put up good snappy game up to the
? eighth inning, and the score stood 2 to
pitcher, who had been doing splendid
) work, seemed to weaken, and a number
of errors by the rest of the team ran the
score up to to . in the 9th inning. The
same clubs will play in Bel Air tomorrow,
Saturday afternoon, and as it is entirely
local contest, the attendance promises
to be very large.
The Maryland Agricultural College
will entertain the farmers of Maryland
at the college grounds in August. The
sessions will take the form of a summer
institute work, although on a larger
scale Director Amoss, who has the en-
terprise in charge, expects upwards of a
thousand representatives to attend this
institute. which will be the first of its
kind in MARYLAND. A number of special
lists have been engaged to take up certain
lines of work. and the result cannot fail
to be of benefit to 4 he rural interests of the
state.
President Roosevelt on Tuesday
nominated MIR. Clarence c. Pusey, of
Havre de Grace, to be Assistant United
States Treasurer in Baltimore. This
recognition of MIR. Pussy was we'll merit
ed, and he will fill the place i'll 4 highly
satisfactory manner. He is senior mem-
Der of the firm of c. c. Pussy and Com
pany, who conduct large business in
Havre de Grace. He is also president of
a shipyard company at that place. Mr..
Pusey's appointment was recommended
| by Messrs. Stevenson A. Williams, John
B. Hanna, Richard Dallam, Senator Will
liam b. Baker, as we'll as a number of
other prominent Hartford Republicans.
The Maryland country shoot, which
was held at Prospect Park last week,
was won by team Number 1 of Hartford
county. Following are its members and
their score: Bowman, 40; Hopkins, ~;
Silver, 3S. There were II teams in COM
petition. The highest amateur shooter
was Mr.. STREET. Bowman, of Poole. for
merly of Bel Air. He broke 81 targets
out of a possible $50 Mr.. Hopkins, of
near Darlington, was second with 800.
Harfords record i'll this contest is one of
which every citizen of Hartford should
feel proud. Mr.. Bowman, who has the
championship of the State, is young
man about % years of age. The Balti-
more Sun on Monday published his pic
ture, together with short sketch.
The ]. c. Hollingsworth Wheel Com
pany has given notice that it is seeking
new site to locate its business. This
factory has been alandmark for Hartford
county for the past generation. Original
ly established by Joel c. Hollingsworth,
it has from a very small beginning grown
to plant employing As men, with a
large manufactured output. 1t is now
claimed however, that in order to meet
its growing business needs, larger
capital is necessary and better railroad
facilities are demanded. Hartford is
making a great mistake in letting this
enterprise go from its midst, and we
think that local capitalists could well
afford to take the necessary interest in
it's welfare by inducing it to remain here.
We are indebted to the board of visi-
tors and superintendent of the Maryland
Training School for the Feeble Minded
for an invitation to attend the entertain
ment to be given by the children of the
school on Thursday afternoon, June %.
| The progress of the school for the Feeble
Minded the last few years has been
| phenomenal, and the good work that it
has accomplished will show its effects in
the next generation, as it has reclaimed
many children who would have become
charges on the public but instead thereof,
are being given course of instruction
l
that will enable them to make fair re-
turn for what society has done to
to help their infrmites. General Her
man Stump is chairman of the executive
committee.
The water fountain in front of the
Court House in Bel Air ought to be put
in shape so that it could be useful to the
public. We understand that a few
dollars worth ofrepairing is all that is
necessary to accommodate the hundreds of
animals that come into this town during
the hot summer days. 1t seems almost
cruel to think that horses are suffering
for water when their thirst could he so
easily assuaged and especially is it more

due to a slight Misunderstanding respect
ing the care of the property. The drink
ing fountain primarily benefits the people
of Hartford county and with its ST 5. 00O,-
900 basis we do not think that public
opinion will justify the county commits
sioners in refusing to put and keep tie
same in repair.
The town commissioners of Bel Air
have recently laid an excellent piece of
sidewalk and curbing, commencing in
front of the residence OF Mr. Charles {.
Brown and running up to the property
of MIR. Andrew Mehl The work is of a
substantial nature, and will stand for
many years to come. 1t is great pity
that the commissioners do not adjust
their differences, and get the litigation
about the town fire bell settled A fear
ful loss of property might be averted
, sometime by having the apparatus in
first class order. Especially at night it
, might be important to call the company
together promptly, and all differences re-
specting the unfortunate conditions con.
corning the payment of the same would
sink into insignifcance as compared with
the dire results that might follow.
