Only one thing was missing. and that
was, as member of the chorus said

has been an enthusiastic demand by
the people at the garrison to see the
production.

Messrs. J. J. Minister, Taylor w.
Mckinney, Herman LETTERS and Albert
j. Denver, the committee appointed by
the Singerly Fire Company. of Elkton,
went to Philadelphia Tuesday and ac-
cepted the auto-chemcal truck built

Master j. ]. Minister, Jr., rode home
on the new truck, leaving the city at

and powerful addition to the Com

prove very efficient in controlling fires
in Elkton. The cost of the truck was
$4,000, and it has been paid for in full.
But in order to do this the Company
was compelled to borrow $1,000, and
this amount should be made up by
subscriptions from our citizens, many
of whom have already contributed.

A BIG TIME AT
PORT DEPOSIT

(Communicated)
The third annual celebration of the
Fourth of July took place at Port
Deposit last Saturday, when the fin
est parade that has ever been wit
messed in the town took place about
10 a. m. This parade was led by
Marshals DR.. G. H. Richards and DR..
E. S. Boyle on horseback. Quite a
large number of floats, decorated au-
tomobiles, three bands of music, sew
eral patriotic lodges, etc, constitut-
ed the parade.
w. Lawrence Paxton captured first
prize, a representation of Eleven
Hills home and family. William
Winchester was given second prize.
His auto float was a reproduction OF
one of the cup defenders in the COM
ing yacht race. We imagine it was
very hard for the judges to come to
a decision, since all the floats were
fine and the owners deserve lots Of
credit. At 100 quite a number of
athletic sports were enjoyed on the
Port Deposit beat Elkton in quite
an interesting ball game.
At p. m. very interesting and
able patriotic address was given by
Rev. F. H. Huffman, of West Not
tingham. Singing of patriotic songs
by chorus of abut so trained voices
was enjoyed.
At $50 quite a fine water carnival
was sheld, the Arlington Club float
taking first prize. Later in the ev-
ening the Port Deposit band played
a number of very pretty and appro
pirate selections down by the Court
of Honor. The Court of Honor was
placed in the square, starting at K.
Smithson's meat market and ending
at DR.. S. G.. Fishers residence. This
Court of Honor consisted of 16 large
and massive columns decorated very
artistically in red, white and blue
bunting and strung with electric
lights. The illumination was quite
fine
Almost every residence was very
elaborately decorated in bunting,
flags, lanterns, etc. Every citizen
deserves lots of credit for the inter
est he or she displayed.
Mrs. E. T. Dorcus received first
prize for the best decorated house
and Mrs. E. J. Abrahams received
second prize.
The Patriotic Association has de-
cided that the town is very much
awake with patriotism and they hope
that next years celebration will be
even better. We are also very glad
to report that about 5000 people Wis
tied Port Deposit on the Fourth.
