Attractions.

The oath annual Hanover Fair, TO
be held Sept 18th OF 18th inclusive,
promises to be bigger and better than
ever. $4,000 have been expended in
improvements-all new buildings hav-
ing been erected. These are hand
some and tasteful structures, and are
much larger than the old buildings

There is every indication from the
demands for space, that the number
and variety of the exhibits in all lines
will be increased. That the races
will be a leading feature of the fair,
is guaranteed by the increase in speed
purses, which this year amount to
$3100.
The free attractions have also been

BASE BALL.
Westminster Boys Start Well by De-
feating LittIestOWn.

Our newly-organized baseball team
had bad day for Initiating their
new uniforms. While the players
themselves were not affected by the
rain, it kept the crowd away. Prob
ably 200 braved the showers, when,
if the afternoon had been clear, at
least a thousand would have been
present. Many favorable comments
were made on the good judgement
displayed by the boys in the selection
of field for their games. When the
grand stand has been erected and
other improvements made they will
have one of the prettiest ball grounds
in the state outside of Baltimore.
| The game started at 2.45, and was
we'll played up to the fifth inning, the
score at that time being 2 to 1 in
i favor of Westminster. The continu-
GUS drizzle, however, was getting in
| it's work The ball became wet and
the grounds slippery, to which may
be attributed some of the errors. The
home team showed up we'll at the
bat. Smith leading with three hits.
Danner played a, good game at short,
making no errors, while Bloche, who
played the same position for Littles-
town is credited with errors.
Spencer also covered second in fine
style, and Bankert took good care of
first base.
Jenkins was steady as a rock put
ting IA men to sleep and passing but
4. Stoner caught good game. The
feIders had little to do.
/ For Littlestown, McSherry, in left
field, and Mehring, at second, carried
off the honors.
Tomorrow our boys will play the
Mechanicsville team. Dixon, of the
Baltimore NJ. A. c., will pitch for Me-
chanicsville, and a good game may be
expected. Jenkins will be in the box
for Westminster.

illustration could be given for the necessity for such fund
OF course the Blade has dropped such from
its lists but the burden keeps increasing until it is
almost too much for to bear alone
