WASHINGTON WILL
MISS SPRING RACES
At MARLBORO, ND.
Denial of Application for
Latter Part of May
Proves Surprise.

Race horse followers Of Washington
today expressed great surprise and dis
appointment at the announcement from
Marlboro that the Southern Maryland
Fair Association must abandon its
spring meeting because Of an order of
the court denying an application for the
last fifteen days in May.
Last fall the Marlboro people held a
ten-day meeting under the direction of
E. n. Elrod. which was highly success
full, and which drew hundreds Of racing
devotees from this city, Baltimore. and
New York. and to all these the in
ability to obtain a sanction for the pro-
posed event in May means real dis
appointment
Judge Fillmore Peall. in rendering his
decision on tie application of the Fair
Association. based his action on the la W
Of 1898, which authorized the court TO
decide about race meetings in conjunc-
ton with the fair of that section of the
State. However, he gave no reason for
his action in the matter, and the opinion
here is, that the racing management
may still have a chance to get a recon
sideration of the question.
The board Of directors of the Fair As
socjation will meet tomorrow to decide
upon a future course, and II is likely
that statement will be Issued at that
time.

Chief Green was in the box for the
Catholics, and he proved stronger than
any of the three men used by Columbia
Although backed up poorly in the field,
Green held the visitors to eight scatter
ed hits, and had he been better sup

from crossing the plate.
The Catholics jumped on Lee in the
first inning, and hits by Marsden, Nc
Donnell, and Hessler, an error, passed
ball, and a double steal netted the home
team four runs.
Columbia made two in the second on

A BANKING CHANGE
Which is the Fruit of a Long Deferred
Hope.
Bangor Daily News. ]

There has long been an insistent demand on
the part of the citizens of Waldo county that
the banks of Belfast should be owned and con
trolled by local men, to assure the public, as
far as possible. that all money left with the
banks for safe keeping should be used to pro-
mote the best interests of the commercial,
manufacturing and agricultural progress of
Belfast and Waldo county.
The great unanswered. question has been,
where is the man whose experience would fit
him to take the load from the shoulders of the
men who have wrought SO well during the his
tory of this bank that they have record to
which they can point with justifable prid e.
That the laws of demand and supply will oper-
ate to settle great questions in the physical
world is as true as in the material realm.
So, in the case. as the demand increases,
tae desire of the business Interests of our ii v
settled on one, who by experience, is in every
way fitted to take the mantle which falls from
the shoulders of the men, who in the past,
have so successfully looked after the interests
of the Waldo Trust Company.
MIR. W. H. Quimby has lived his whole life
among us. AS boy he attended our schools
and fitted himself for the battle of life, as a
m an he has always been ready to work for the
best interests of his home city. His honesty
and integrity have never been questioned by
anyone andthis success as a banking man hz 6
been attested by the record of growth made
by the Belfast Savings Bank during his term
in Belfast is attested by the fact that, alone
and unaided by anyone, he bought and enlarge
the home of Belfast's leading industry and
made it possible for them to do largely in
creased business. This act of disinterested
loyalty in the interest of his home city has
won him the loving respect of the business
interests and large circle of those who are
in the employ of Leonard and Barrows.
The business men of Belfast are more than
satisfied that they have been able to secure
this Belfast man to handle the affairs of the
Waldo Trust Company, and they are confident
that the interests of our city will be consider
ed before any foreign investments are made.
With Mr.. Quimby, Mr.. Field and Mr.. Blod-
gett in constant attendance to serve the public
and the old board of investment working to-
gether in perfect harmony there is every pros
pect that the growth and success of this bank
will be conservative and strong as it has been
in the past.
| new and brighter day seems to have dawn
ed for Belfast. There is spirit of progress
and growth which speaks much for future
days, and with the coming of new business in
terests among us we are fortunate in having
perfect system of banks. They are all three
strong and safe; they are all in the hands of
Belfast men, and they each have special work
Mr.. Quimby is getting the glad hand and
best wishes of his friends just now and the
smile on his face seems to say "there is no
place like home.'
