1.-THE first annual dog show at Timonium
during the coming fair promises to be big
success and the committee in charge will leave
nothing undone that will tend to make 1t a
credit to the society. Entries for it close on
Saturday, August 18th. DR.. Stuart Cassard, OF
Towson, is chairman of the committee.
- Baltimore and the surrounding country
was hotter than any other place in the United
States last Monday-which is not much OF
a compliment to Maryland. The weather
bureaus thermometer registered SO degrees,
while the record at Towson was 95. It was the
hottest day of the summer up to that date.
- Would it not be rather more fair for
Baltimore city to erect a plant to filter the
water of Towson run before it reaches Lake
Roland than to demand that large number
of citizens of Towson be required to put in
private filters on their own premises? TOwson
was here long before Lake Roland was con-
structed.
- The Summer School and Farmers Tnsti-
tute Conference will begin at the Maryland
Agricultural College, August 21st, and con-
tinue four days, from A. M. to P. NJ, with

represented.

THE general announcement of the COM
ing Timonium Fair appears in the advertising
columns of THE UNION today. 1t will be seen
that the number Of races is larger than ever
before, and there will also be other attractions
to please those who do not care for the usual
''pig and pumpkin show" that the smart re-
porters like to talk about.
1.-The tournament at Bauer 8 6 Mile House,
on the Hartford road, will take place next We'd
nesday afternoon, to be followed by dance.
The affair will possess some novel features and
will no doubt attract large crowd. The adj
dresses will be made by State Senator John 8.
Bddison and Mr.. Carville D. Benson, Speaker
of the House of Delegates.
Again, word with some of The UNIONS
local correspondents: Last week three oftheir
letters arrived too late to receive attention-one
of them on Friday afternoon and two on Satur-
day. As the paper goes to press about o'clock
EVERY Friday afternoon it is obvious that mat
ter for publication should come in earlier.
Friends can't you remember this?
- The regular camp-meeting season at
Emory Grove commenced on Wednesday even
ling. Rev. John A. Davis, young evangelist
| from Binghampton, N. Y, is on the grounds
and will conduct all the evening services.
Bell of Brooklyn, N. Y, will deliver lecture
lon Five Years Among the Mormons."
during such weather as we have expert
enced the past week people should be very
careful with their horses because they suffer
as much from the heat as humanity does. The
humane man will not load so heavily and he
will give rests occasionally and water as often
as practicable. These are simple things to do
and will afford great relief to the faithful
beasts.
-Mr. Robert NJ. Taylor, of Baltimore
county, with Ripple, won the steeplechase at
the Norfolk races last Saturday and furnished
an exhibition that was greatly appreciated by
a large crowd. The other two horses in the
race were Mr.. Hugh P. Prices Lawful and
Mr.. Caleb V. Cherbonnier's DeGarnet, so it
will be seen this county furnished all the tim
bertoppers.
"a family living in house in Towson
that has many vines about the porch has been
greatly annoyed this summer by mosquitoes.
This week an effort was made to mitigate the
dasS R bs pan Co e
work very well. The fumes of the oil either
killed the pests or drove them away and thus
afforded much relief.
-Times change and men change with
them. A year or two ago 1t was thought the
telephone was luxury that many professional
and business men could just as well do with
out. Now this little instrument has become a
necessity and hundreds who are using them
today wonder how they ever managed to get
along without them. The man who invented
the telephone deserves monument as high as
Washington's.
Tile August number of magazine called
The Strawberry, published at Three Rivers,
Michigan. and devoted entirely to the cultiva-
ton of the strawberry, contains an excellent
picture of the new berry originated by Mr..
Charles E. Fendall, of Towson, and called the
"Fendall," together with description of the
same as already published in THE UNION. This
new berry is likely to prove valuable find
to Mr.. Fendall.
Mrs. Marion J. JONES' widow of William
Jones, formerly of Towson, died at her home

spent the remainder of his days.

race track at Timonium and the sporting fra

run over at least part Of the same ground that
was used for a track century ago. This meet
ling will be under the auspices of the Baltimore
County Agricultural Society.
Hurst Brothers, Farmers.-"It is the
farmers Hurst these summer days." said a
friend of Messrs. John E. and Henry S. Hurst,
of the firm of John E. Hurst Co., few
days ago.
The Messrs. Hurst are spending the summer
at the Hurst country place, on Charles Street
avenue, and are incidentally demonstrating in
the most practical way possible that up-to-date
business rules are as applicable to agricultural
pursuits as to the affairs of big commercial en-
ternrisee The Hurst DrODertV consists of
