which time a large crowd had ga'.hcred,
with n three-legged race, which fairly
convulsed the spectators. Bass and
Howe tied for first honors ami divided
among themselves the fifty cigars of?
fered to the winner. John Cornett,
who tips the Fairbanks at a trifle over
250. won the fat men's race afler a
grandstand finish, and annexed a box
of cigars. French took both the run?

and received a suit of overalls and a
box of cigars for his prowess.
The ball game between the Sidney
Stars and Powhatans for the champion?
ship resulted in a victory for the name?
sakes of the Indian chief by the score
of 6 to 3. It went a full nine Innings
and was punctuated by a number of
long drives and a sextet of spectacular
errors. A prize of $15 was awarded toj
the winning team.
"Pic Smith" put away his bun in the
shortest tine In the bun-eating contest
and won a baseball glove It was one
of the most laughable features of the
program. The hands of all contestants
were tied behind their backs and the
buns suspended from strings immedi?
ately In front of their faces. With
only the limited radius of movement af?
forded by the neck, and only the nie-th
to use In the process, the consumption
of a regulation slr.e bun was as elusive
a proposition as it was a difficult one.
A tug of war between the iron mold

noon hour, resulted in a hard-won vic?

the 100 cigars offered to the victors.

Panic.
Dashing wildly about Broad Street
near Meadow yesterday afternoon
about 5:30 o'clock. af'.*r it had broken
away from Its owner, T. S. Turner, a
farmer of Dicker.?. Ooochland county,
a young bull created a panic, and end?

cared for by a colored nurse, was se?
riously \nrt It was taken home and
attention was rendered by the family
physician.
As the bull went to the ground a
;rowd of men and boys fell upon It
and succeeded lr. holding !t until Its
feet were tied. It was later placed In
a wagon and taken to the ITr.lon Stock
Yards.
The owner waj bringing the animal
to town for sale, and the halter by
which it was belngJed slipped in some
manner and It was let free. It at once
began a run down the thoroughfare,
frightening many persons. It was not
until the beast fell in stumbling over
the baby carriage that It was finally

farther damage.

COUNTIES SPLIT
ON EASTERN SHORE
Accomac and Northampton Agree
to Seek a Political
Divorce.
Although due announcement was
made recently that a reconciliation
had been effected between the coun?
ties of Accomac and Northampton, and
that the suit for divorce of tho legis?
lative district would be withdrawn
and all forgiven, It now appcurs that
negotiations have been broken off and
that a tlnal decree will be asked of
the voters on Thursday.
Further. It would seem that tho
Judgment will ne in favor of Accomac,
for that county has a lUJjijOrlty of tho
jury on Its stde. Thin Is. 11 has tho
most voters. The only o.uestlon Is us
to what extent the appeal made by
their own county man will affect thorn
whan they go to th" polls.
nivliled vtembera.
For many yours there had been an
unwritten law on the Kastern Shore
covering division of representation
Accomac hns one member of the House
Another Is elected as a lloater from
Accomac nnd Northampton. This of?
fice hns always been clven by mutual
agreement to Northampton. By virtue
of the preponderance of population In
Accomac, thnt county has by consent
been given the State Senator, which
the Eastern. Shor<- shares with Princess
Anne. What the latter thought about
it did not matter, for the rest could
control, and Princess Anne has a mem?
ber of the House anyway.
Nobody seems t" know just how
this year's row started William
Pullltt Fltrb'.iirh. the incumbent floater,
wanted to come back, and he an- ,
r.ouneed his candidacy A candidate
for the floteria! position arose In Ac?
comac In the person of Barton K.
L'.lllston. Also there aro two candl
dates for the Senate from Accomac. 1

Division Is Result.
Mr Flt7.hf.eh submitted his claims
t-> the people of his own county nnd
defeated a local opponent. Be it re?
membered that Accomac can so far
outvote Northampton that the former
can elect anybody It wishes. The com?
mittee got Into a wrangle, and the
threat was made that If Accomac did
not withdraw, the Northampton peo?
ple would support the Princess Ann"
man for Senator, which might elect j
him In view of the fact that Accomac I
has two candidates. The dally qtiar- I
r Is reached the stas-e of open rupture,
and while Mr. FItzhugh's nte will !
b* on the Accomac ticket in the prl- t
mary, that of Mr. Eilliston will appear \
there also. And some of the North- |
t:nipton people want their county to
vote for the Princess Anne candidate
for Senator in retaliation The re?
sult will be known by Friday morn?
ing. At least a limited divorce seems
probable.
In the meantime there are four can?
didates for direct representative from

Recognized friends of candidates for
the United States Sonate may desig?
nate voters to represent their princi?
pals at the polls in Thursday's pri?
mary, according to a ruling made yes?
terday by State Chairman J. Taylor
i:iyyson. The chairman construes the
primary law to the effect that 1. will
not bo necessary to have the candi?
dates themselves designate the watch?
ers at all precincts in the State. The
correspondence on the subject was had
between C. B. Gnrnett. general man?
ager of the Virginia Democratic
League, and Mr. Ellyson, and Is given
out by Mr. Qarnett with Mr. EUyaon's
approval. It Is as follows:
September 4. 1911.
Hon. 3. Taylor Ellyson.
Chairman State. Democratic
Committee. Richmond. Va.:
Dear Sir,?-information has come to
me that It will be claimed by some
judges of election that no one can be
recognized as a watcher In the polls
under the primary plan, unless such
person be designated and selected by
either Mr. Jones or Mr. Glass. You
will readily see how unfair such a
ruling would be. You must recog?
nize that such designation Is practi?
cally impossible. All that can be \e
Quired is that each watcher shall tie
a responsible man. selected by those
who are recognized as friends of Mr.
Glass or Mr. Jones. There can be no
practical difficulty about such a cour?e.
es there will be no trouble at each
poll In knowing who are their friends
In that neighborhood.
1 ask that you \yill kindly write
me your decision as to this matter.
Yon will recognize that 1 am jtistltled
in asking that you write me as an
immediate answer as possible, since
there are only a few days before the
primary. I therefore hope that vou
will send me an answer at once. I am.

Richmond, Va.:
Dear Sir.?In reply to your ?nqulry 1
of tnif date I beg to say that under'
the primary plan the recognized
friends of either Mr. Jones or Mr.]
Glass would have the right In each
precinct to designate some Demo?
cratic voter to represent them In the
prr-Mnct. tinder that provision of the ?
primary plan that declares that "Can
dldates voted for shall have the privi?
lege of having one friend each within
the room where the election Is being
conducted, to remain until after the j
completion of the count of the vote
and certification of the result. l|
therefore rule that the Judges of elec- !
tlon should respect this right, and |
wherever any candidate desires to ex?
ercise the above privilege he or his
friends must be permitted to do so.

The Maryland Athletic Club, of Bal?
timore, won the first game of the
double-header, taking advantage of the,
flukes of the locals and landing hits at
Opportune moments, by odds of 6 to 5.1
Probably the largest crowd ever
gathered to witness purely amateur
exhibitions was out to see the games,
and right well was the audience re- '
paid for the journey to the American '
League Park. All three teams engage.i
ir. the afternoon's contests showod re?
markable form, and but for the* fact
that the games had been advertised
as battles of amateurs the spectators
could never have been convinced th;it

pitched head Off, Forgetting Lho
first and fourth frames, Richmond was
u, winner.
Six errors are enough to lose any
ball game, but Joe Boehllng was up
against another proposition. Only
three l?lnglcB were four.,) In "Shag"
Rawling's assortment, ar.d this large!)
tolls the tale of the defeat of the boys
from Dixie. Joe himself landed for one,
of the safeties, while Joe whit field ami
l??)wers each got one of the duet left.
Aside, from tho errors, !t was a pitch?
ers' battle pure at:*; simple, with Shag
having nothing on Boehllng. Frank
Ooehlliig. the pitcher s brother, seemed
unable to hold tho heaves from the
centre, and this. too. helped the homo
lads. After Blount wsh br ught from
third behind the bat a different Rtory
was told, and few of the Bankert
reached first
The championship Is by no means de?
cided, and many are of the opinion
that the Cleavers, of Richmond, at
they have been named, will tlgurt
when the final count-up cunes. A num?
