Reference was made in last weeks
issue of the Journal to the death of
Mrs. Martha J. Abbott on May 4th.

great that death came as a great re-
lief.
Had obsequies been conducted near
home, no church in this vicinity
would have accommodated the at
tendance.
The display of flowers would have
delighted Martha.
Mrs. Abbott had wonderful person
atty and her great mission in life
was to aid the sick and afflicted.
She was member of the Presby-
terrain Church, superior nurse and
housewife.
We shall not look upon her like
again. She married H. B. Abbott

Greatest Circus Is Com
ing To Baltimore

Dazzling Introductory Spectacle.
One of Host of New World Ac-
claimed Features of Ring
ling Bros. and Barnum
& Bailey Organization
The worlds mightiest amusement
enterprise on tour-the Ringing
Bros. and Barnum & Bailey combined
circus-with its 1897 seven-ring-and-
stage program, star studded and lib
orally interspersed with new thrillers
from Europe and Asia, featuring
among it's array of new wonders the
most gorgeous Introductory spectac-
lie in it's brilliant history, India, is
definitely scheduled to exhibit in
Baltimore, May 1921.
India is not just another circus
spectacle. 1t is not merely glitter
ing parade to open the Big Show per-
formances. 1t is the result of a
years planning, a really staggering
expenditure and much research on
the part of Sam w. Gumpertz, gen.
eral manager of The Greatest Show
on Earth. Costly fabrics were pur-
chased in car load lots. Color
schemes blend in lovely perspectives.
Every one of the two thousand peo-
pie and animals taking part wears a
small fortune ON his or it's back. All
have towering headdresses of ex-
quisite beauty. One group of 10
horses, with girl riders, is like moth
ing ever before offered, for the hors-
es, wearing medieval bejeweled blan-
kets of velvet, carry gorgeous cano-
pies over the girls heads. India is
torrent of color and flashing jew
els, flowing over the hippodrome
track and the seven rings and stages.
1t is the last word in pageantry.
In aerial and equestrian displays
The Greatest Show on Earth has out
done itself this year, while the
ground acrobatic numbers are the
largest and finest ever presented in
any land or age.
The Ringing Bros. and Barnum &
Bailey combined circus will arrive on
four long trains of 100 double-length
steel railroad cars, carrying 1900
people, 1909 menagerie animals, Z
herds of elephants and 700 horses.

NOTTINGHAM TRIPS NEWARK
2 TO

Newark High School met defeat at
the hands of the West Nottingham
Academy nine in tight, fast ball
game at West Nottingham, Wednes-
day afternoon, May s.
Hill, the visiting twirler, pitched
nice game setting the Maryland slug
gers down with one hit, but he was
trifle wild and that was his down
fall, Emrey was hit by pitched
ball in the first inning, and walked
in the third. On both occasions the
fieet-footed Nottingham first base
man made a clean steal of second.
And both times, Bill Reynolds sent
him tearing home with precious runs,
the first time when Crater dropped
his sizzling line drive to left, and
again on a clean single over second,
the only maroon hit of the play.
For Nottingham, Thompson flashed
his regular form for the first time
this season, limiting Newark to
singles, all nicely scattered; and is
suing only one pass.
In the sixth inning with the tying
run on second, Respess, Maroon third
baseman, dove clean back of the bag
to make dazzling one-handed stop
of what looked like sure two-bag-
ger and threw his man out at first.
It was the prettiest play of the game.
Smitley's fine relay to the plate at
ter catching fly in deep left pre-
vented a Newark score in the fifth.
