tus and Water Works

A decrease in the insurance rates
now in effect in Oakland, has been
promised by James Tremble, a mem
Der of the Insurance Underwriters
Association of America, with head
quartrs in Philadelphia, Pa, who

erything connected with the water
and fire departments, including the
fire fighting apparatus, trucks, hose
and equipment generally.
Upon completion of his inspection

Mr.. Tremble stated that in his in
spection of cities throughout the east
ern section of the United States that
most of the cities three times the size
of Oakland could not compare with

TO BEGIN WORK ON RACE
TRACK AT FAIR GROUNDS
Engineer To Be Engaged to Sur.
vey Site-Will Be Illuminated
For Night Racing
PREMIUM LIST COMPLETE

Following the assurance received
from the Maryland Racing Commits
sion that it would be permissible to
hold horseracing at the fifteenth an
nual agricultural fair, to be held at
Oakland September Is, 16, II, and 10,
arrangements are being made to lay
out the track, according to Henry M.
Speicher, secretary and general
manager.
A civil engineer is being engaged
to survey the grounds and decide on
the best place to build the track, and
as soon as his decision is accepted by
the Fair association, construction will
start Immediately. The State Roads
commission has offered the use of its
machinery for scraping, grading, and
rolling, and with this available, the
work is not expected to be difficult.
1t is planned to make the track one
half mile in length, with the curves
banked to the proper angle. An engi-
neer for the West Penn Electric COM
pany will also come here free of
charge to estimate the cost of light
ing the track, and the number of flood
lights needed.
This track, when completed, will
make the sixth one in the State of
Maryland, and will be the first one to
be illuminated for night racing.
Night racing is expected to be one of
the features of the annual fair, Mr..
Speicher stated.
The premium list for the exhibits
has been given to the printer, and will
be ready for publication within the
next few days. Many changes have
been made in the list, according to
Mr.. Speicher, the premium list having
been increased in number of cases,
while prizes for uninteresting exhibits
have been lessened.
with the cooperation of the farm
ers of the county, and the expected
influx of people from other counties
to witness the horseracing, this year
should be the best in the history Of
the Garrett County Agricultural Fair
Association" Mr.. Speicher concluded.

UPHOLSTERER IS FOUND
In PENNSYLVANIA JAIL
Truck and Most of Furniture,
Taken from Oaklanders, Is
Recovered by Authorities
is FOUND IN EBENSBURG

Return of most of the furniture
obtained from Oakland residents by
Earl Klingensmith, who posed as an
upholsterer, was effected by Walter H.
Haenftling, sheriff, and Cecil Ramsey,
constable, last Thursday afternoon,
when they discovered the stolen goods
near New Kensington, Pa, about $50
miles north of Oakland.
,Klingensmith, wanted by Pennsyl-
vania authorities for skipping bond in
the sum of $4,000 for an Indictment
there, was in the Ebensburg Jail,
where he will remain until his case is
disposed of, after which he will be
turned over to Garrett county authori-
ties.
A truck which had been purchased
from Sharps Motor company, was re-
covered in Strawstown, Pa, north of
Ebensburg. The furniture which had
been obtained from several citizens
of Oakland under the pretense of re-
pairing it, was slightly damaged, and
some of the individual pieces were
missing. A new living room suite,
purchased from Cuppett's furniture
store of Terra Alta, W. Va, was also
brought back in a slightly damaged
condition.
Klingensmith had received a num-
Der of repair jobs and taking the
furniture to McHenry, he reloaded it
and made his getaway Saturday
night.
When turned over to the Garrett
county authorities he will be held on
charges of obtaining money under
false pretenses and larceny of goods.

GIRL WILL SWIM SUNDAY

E. J. Curry, 81 years of age, of
Bayard, West Va, made an endurance
swim in Deep Creek Lake Sunday,
swimming the distance between brid-
ges twice, and continuing for 80 yards
more to break the record set last year
by Miss Regina Howsare, of Zihlman.
Mr.. Curry entered the water at
Glendale Bridge at 2:30 p. M, and it
is estimated that he swan for dis
lance of seven and three-forth miles
in 5 hours and IS minutes. The exact
map distance between bridges is two
and fourteenth miles, according to F.
R. Corliss of the Youghiogheny Hy-
dro-Electric company, but in follow
ing the shore line and the inability of
the swimmer to travel in a straight
line, Walter w. Wittig, one of those
attending the swimmers, stated that
Mr.. Curry had gone at least seven and
three-forth miles.
Ross Shaw, of Oldtown, Nd, also
made an attempt to swim the lake but
he became exhausted after swimming
three and seven-eighth miles in hrs.
and 10 minutes, according to Mr.. Wit
tig. Carl Bowman of Deep Creek
Joined the party and swan two and
one-half miles.

tween bridges twice on Sunday, Au-
gust II, 1880, in 4 hours and Is min
utes, in cold and choppy waters, will
make an attempt this Sunday to break
her own record and that made by Mr..
Curry. Miss Howsare's time is one
hour less than that of Mr.. Curry, but
she is expecting to swim the distance
in even less time. She will enter the
water at 1890 a. m. Sunday.
Motor Boats Hinder
The task of swimming was made
much more difficult last Sunday owing
to the many motor boats which came
close to the swimmers, Mr.. Wittig
stated, and he hoped that next Sunday
they would keep a distance that would
not interfere.
Those in attendance last Sunday
with Messrs. Curry and Shaw were
Clerk Railey, Bernard Glotfelty, Gil
bert Alexander, Walter W. Wittig,
Ralph Rosenberg, and Walter W.
