knights Tilt in Marlboro.

The members and friends of St.
Mary's Church enjoyed an all-day pic
mic at the grounds of the Southern
Maryland Fair Association here on We'd
nesday, including tournament in
which Is knights took part, followed
by a grand ball in Gibbons hall at
night.
Two baseball games were played.
Bristol defeated Groom in the forenoon.
Ii to 6. with Harrington and Turner in
the points for Bristol and Tucker and
P. Duvall for Groom. In the afternoon
there was a game between picked
team from the whole county and team
of clowns, in picturesque and fantastic
costume, managed by Frank P. Hurd.
This contest afforded the best ''hit' of
the day. The clowns won, 4 to l..
There was some wrangling over the
classification Of the knights into profess
sional and ameteur classes, but the
difficulty was finally solved by allowing
all to tilt together. The first prize went
to the Knight of Montgomery Boy, L.
L. Love, who had a perfect score. The
remaining prizes were as follows; Sec
ond, Knightof Careless Boy, A. b. Suit;
third, Knight of Mitchellville, J. S.
Cole; fourth, Knight of Lost Boy, J. B.
Bean; fifth, Knight of Weeping Willow,
M. L. Hopkins, and sixth, Knight OF
Forest Bridge. B. w. Cole. The charge
of the knights was delivered by Charles
Benedict calvert, and the coronation
address by Clarence M. Roberts.
Mr.. EDITOR despite the fattering
offers made to withdraw my name as a
democratic candidate for the Office of
Treasurer of Prince Georges county,
| have never faltered in my determine
ton to present my name to the demo-
cratic voters at the primaries on August
20. | esteem the support | shall receive
in the primaries as of far more value
than anv position to be obtained as a
consideration for withdrawing.
On February 18th last, l announced
nv candidacy, and stated l would make
an appeal direct to the voters, and that
| was not representing any faction in
the democratic party. This is my po-
sition to-day. In this connection | want
to say that | am not an independent
democratic candidate, but as demo-
cratic candidate running independent
of the factions. Before decided to en-
ter the contest, | obtained the permits
sion of none of the so-called leaders or
did | seek, an endorsement from either
of the two factions. l decided to make
my appeal to the people who, under the
direct primary system, have a right to
select their own candidates irrespective
of factions, bosses or leaders. = This is
the first time in the history of our coun-
ty that such privilege has been ex
tended the voters, and it is my humble
opinion that they do not propose to neg
lect the opportunity.
Should | be defeated in the primaries
| promise my best efforts in behalf of
the election of the successful democrat
ic candidate. E. A. FULLER.
