mobiles last Sunday and the atmosphere was
laden with the odor of gasoline. It is often
remarked now that the drivers of these ma
chimes appear to have entirely forgotten that
there is q law regulating their speed, for most
o. them travel like the wind.
THE dahlia show of the Messrs. Vincent
of White Marsh attracted many hundreds of
people this week and nothing but words of
praise were heard for the splendid display
Many prominent persons were among those
who enioyed this unique show-the only one
of the kind in the United States.
speaking of the frequency of automo-
bile accidents, a professional chauffeur this
week made this rather remarkable statement: :
81 have been driving motorcars for nine years
all types from a Is TO $50 horsepOwer-and
never had an accident" Meaning, no doubt,
that he had never injured anybody.

Schaffer mansion, at Hamilton, Hartford road,
ing loss of about S., 600. The house had been
occupied but week or so by Mr.. Frank

and while it was unoccupied.
- statement from DR.. NJ. L. Price, secre-
tary of the State Board of Health, that ap-
peared in the Baltimore Sun of Monday, is
calculated to create wrong impression regard
ing the prevalence of typhoid fever at Towson.
There has been no epidemic" of the disease
herein fact, only four cases of the fever have
been reported in this community this year
and at least two of these were contracted else
where.
- Some of the Baltimore daily papers make
many amusing blunders when they deal with
the names of Baltimore county people. One
of them this week had prominent Democratic
candidate speaking at Republican mass
meeting, while another published the death of
well known man who is in the enjoyment of
excellent health. This kind of funny busi-
ness" must be anything but funny to those
most nearly concerned
- Mr. Charles NJ. Chilcoat of Butler says
his corn will husk from to 10 barrels to the
acre. which is regarded as a good yield this
season. Orphans Court Judge Melchor Ho-
shall, who brought 40-ounce tomato to Tow
son this week, says he believes his corn will
husk Is barrels 1t was on good piece of sod
ground and was literally fertiized. 1t will
probably be found that corn will turn out bet
ter by the barrel than the bushel this year, as
the ears are not well filled at the points.
Govans' Celebration.-Could good, old
Richard Govane have stepped back into bis
native village again on last Wednesday he
would have witnessed a demonstration that
would have caused him to feel pride which
he probably never dreamed of in life. Many
of the present-day residents probably pinched
themselves to see if they were awake.
Ever since the new fire apparatus and plugs
were assigned the town this quiet little suburb
has felt desire to show off its new improve
ments. To the Volunteer Company fell the
their gratitude. A committee of five, headed
by DR.. George Il. Hooking was selected to
perform the work. How well they succeeded
was evidenced by the great parade-a mile in
length-the lavish decorations of the houses
and avenues, and in the evening the great dis
play of electric lights, japanese lanterns and
fireworks.
The parade was the chief feature of the days
celebration. Forming at Three-Mile Hill, on
the York road, under the direction of DR.. e.
NJ. Duncan, chief marshal, it proceeded north
ward at 3 P. NJ. through the village. The
route was lined with hundreds of onlookers,
not only from Govans but from adjacent
suburban villages, as we'll as a large number
from the city. The line was made up of three
divisions, including three bands of music and
many county and city notables. The two
schools were represented in this section by
about 500 children packed in trucks, delivery
wagons and carriages. The parade ended at
York road and Bellona avenue, where grand
stand had been erected. Mr.. Charles Herzog
acted as chairman. Speeches were made by
Mayor Mahool of Baltimore and Judge Frank
l. Duncan. After the speechmaking the visi-
tors and subscribers were escorted to Funk's
Hotel, where collation. was served to 240 per-
sons. A band concert occupied the remainder
of the afternoon.
The chief event of the evening was an eabo-
rate fireworks programme at Williamson's
field, Radnor avenue and York road. All of
n
that no less than 10000 persons witnessed the
beautiful farewell number.
The engine house was central figure at
night, several hundred incandescent bulbs
being used to picture its outlines, making
striking scene.
Competitive decoration of scores and resi-
dences gave birth to many novel and pretty
designs, among which were those of ]. T.
Norris & Son, Parr Bros, |. II. Moss. a. 7.
Weber, the Postofice, Trust and Building
Company and Edgar H. Cans.
Good order and good nature generally pre-
vailed. After the fireworks carnival spirit
seized the younger set and showers of confetti
were frequently encountered.
