Several farmers in Cecil County are
making a protest against the opening
of the Cecil County Agricultural Far
on the Glasgow road, near Elkton' Mo.
While the managers are offering cash
premiums for every department that
goes with such affairs, there are sew
eral local farmers who are protesting
on the ground that the promoters are
Delawareans and have only one object
in view and that is to have running
and trotting races with betting priv
ieges attached. This, promoters claim,
is not the case. "a
The old fashioned agricultural trot
between farm speedsters for the sake
of winning a race has gone u OF

ing One for Many Visitors
Especial to the Hernfd)

HARLINGEN. Texas, July 5.-The
Fourth of July celebration at Harlin-
gen was carried off on almost sched-
ule and the city was thronged with
crowd estimated ut between 5000 and
1900
The day dawncd bright and clear and
gave every indication OF glorious Val
ley weather. About o'clock cars be-
gan arriving from every direction and
by the time the first event OF the day
was under way, a baseball game be-
between Harlingen and La Feria, tht
city was filling fast Harlingen took
the game by good margin. but
the game was well played throughout
and every one attending was given their
moneys worth.
After the ball game the throngs ga
thered on the main street and an ad-
dress was made by Judge A. w. Cum
ningham. ana after Judge Cunning
hams address a representative of the
Farm Bureau gave very interesting
talk. During intermissions the 18th
Cavalry band from Fort Brown fur
nished splendid music Sharply nc
IL o'clock it was announced that the
barbecue dinner was ready 70 serve
and everybody moved 10 the barbecue
grounds. The serving Of dinner was
carried through without turmoil, and
plenty Of meat. bread. pickles and cof-
fee werS on hand for everybody. Large
numbers of people. after obtaining
bounteous helpings Of the feast got In
their cars and hunted quiet spots and
shady places to partnke or their din
ner.
Promptly ut 2:3o the two fire depart
ments were lined up for the speed con-
test. The san Benito department made
the run first, which was q straight
distance of two blocks, then a turn en-
to Main street and block to the by
drant. and made the time In 1:l5:4l-
This time was considered from the
time the fire alarm was given until
the water was turned on. This was con-
sidcred exceedingly good time for the
run but the Harlingen department
made the same run in 1:1f:10 or four
and one half seconds less than the San
Benito department. The work of Mel
son and Fairbair, nozzle men for
the Harlingen department was es-
especially commendable in their jump
from the speeding truck ut the turn.
where the water was TO be turned on.
AT $3.50 the Harlingen and San Be-
nito baseball teams were to mix and
the park was crowded with fans. This
game was not considered rs a game OF
the Valley League series. During the
first part of the game the Saints had
their own way, but in the latter in
nings Harlingen came forward and In
the ninth the score stood 10 o. Har-
lingen had last bat and with two men
on bases. Baker. pitcher for Harlingen
slammed the ball into the cars at the
far co rner Of the field. making the
score IL to 9 in favor of Harlingen.
The program for the day was con-
cluded with dance given at the Wit
tenbach building 1t was unusually
well attended and pronounced fitting
end for an enjoyable day.
