Patapsco Splits Even.

More than 1000 people gathered at
Hill Top Park, Patapsco, Sunday, Au-
gust 8, and witnessed the very clean
and nerve racking games, when the
Patapsco A. G. defeated the strong
Carroll Outing Club of Baltimore, in
the first game to 8, and losing the
second game in Z innings, to 2.
Evans, who was sent to the mound in
the first game for Patapsco, proved
equal to the occasion, pitching a shut
out game with the exception of one
bad inning, when the visitors scored
their three runs.
The fielding of r. Taylor, Dell, and
the catching as well as throwing of G.
Taylor, featured in the first game
r: Taylor took up the job of pitch
ing for P. A. c. in the second game,
and pitched a winning game through
out, but the breaks of the game were
against him and lost the game 8 to 2.
= The strong Carroll o. G. visited Pa
tapsco with the idea of showing the
country lads how the game should be
played and left saying they would not
be surprised to read in the near fu-
ture where some big League manager
visited Patapsco and signed up some
young recruits

5Oth wedding Anniversary.

A very pleasant feature OF social
life to the people around Stone Chapel
and vicinity August 4, was the cele-
bration of the 50th anniversary of the
wedding of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry M.
Koontz. They were married the 4th
day of August, 1870, and five children
were born to them, Minnie, who died
in early childhood, Mrs. Annie Roger,
Mrs. SaIlie Dearborn, Mrs. Carrie King
and Mrs. Elsie Breitweiser. They have
12 grandchildren and great-grand-
children.
The anniversary was looked forward
with pleasure as it is something
which does not often occur. They not
only invited their children and rela
tives, but also entertained the Stone
Chapel Mite Society of which Mrs.
Koontz is member. An excellent pro-
gram was rendered. Singing, doxology,
prayer by Mrs. S. K. Herr, which was
beautiful: scripture reading by Mrs.
Ellen Danner. duet by Mr.. and Mrs.
Clarence DuvalI, ~Silver Threads
Among the Cold" recitation, Miss
Eva Brown, Fifty Years." reading by
Mrs. Paul Robertson, Lilacs;" solo
by Mrs. Harry L. Belts, of Baltimore,
"Put On Your Old Gray Bonnet" with
every one joining in the chorus. Then
Mrs. S. K. Herr took the opportunity
to thank the society for its kindness
to her as a member, for flowers, words
of love and messages sent to her,
when she was sick for nine weeks
fat on her back. What a comfort and
pleasure it was to her. Then the So
ciety got Rev. w. G. Parrish, of New
Windsor circuit, to present to the
bride and groom, $40 in gold, which
he did most happily with an excellent
talk. They then received congratulate
tions Other gifts were $50 in gold,
gold cuff buttons and gold pins. Mrs.
Laura S. Sellman, who is visiting in
the West, sent a book called "The
Brides Book" so every one could reg
lister their names and on one of the
pages Mrs. E. J. Manahan had painted
the lovely little forget me nots. Then
Mrs. John D. Snader went through the
crowd and aimed to get all the names
to register, after which refreshments,
both delicious and bountiful, consist
ing of ice cream, cake, bananas, lem
onade, potato chips and mints, were
served. Never was Maryland's hos
pitality shown better. When the hour
came for separation all felt that Mr..
and Mrs. Koontz and their children
had left nothing undone to make the
day memorable in the history Of the
family life and voiced the hope that
the bride and groom, who both are
aged So years, have just celebrated
their golden wedding might live many
years more of happy married life The
house was decorated with cut flowers.
The guests numbered $50 and were
from far and nsar, one lady being
present from California

The Dutch Picnic.


Once again. the first Saturday in
August was fair day, and in spite
of the fact that the Hampstead earn
wal was in progress, and number
of other picnics scheduled Tor the same
day, the crowd in attendance upon the
Dutch Picnic" was not appreciably
smaller than in former years and
thousands were present as usual. The
only noticeable difference was ii the
fact that the people were slezer In
gathering, and the nsorniHg atteAdance
was not as great as In former years.
This fact somewhat decreased the
quantity of ice cream disposed of, but
from IL to $50 o'clock those who were
dispensing the cream were kept con-
stantly busy dipping from the freezers
160 gallons. The Pleasant Valley
Patriotic Order Sons of America Band
furnished music during the day. The
exercises of the Sunday school with
Miss Viola Frick, who had drilled the
children in their parts, presiding at
the organ, were unusually interest
ing; special features being the lilly
drill by sixteen girls, the vocal solo
Lullaby Land" by little Frances
Little, and the musical dialogue of
Louise Bitzel and Frances Little. Mr..
Seabrook made short address, and
there we're the usual games for the
children.
