List of the Premiw Awarded—Ree- ord of Racing Events—Politict on the Ground. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. UPPER MARLBORO’, Md., September 8, 1895. ‘The third day of the Southern Maryland Fair Association opened with a large crowd present, probably the largest for several years, there being 10,00) people on the grounds. The bright, pleasant weather add- ed so materially to the effect that crowds | from the lower counties came in by ali trains, as well as Baltimore and Washing- ton. The -svecial attraction was Governor's day, when Governor Lowndes was expected to attend, but owing to the extreme rush of executive business was unable to be pres- ent. The reception committee went over to the depot to meet the down train from Baltimore, and, despite the regretted ap- sence of Governor Lowndes, were busily en- §aged in receiving the many distinguished visitors coming, which included many mem- bers of the corn and flour exchange, as well as some of the members of advisory boards of different fairs throughout the state, i cluding Easton, Hagerstown, Frederick, Rockville and Baltimore county. Mr. Jno. 8. Cummins of Baltimore county brought down a large de‘egation and push- ed his plea for the congressional nomina- tion before the southern Maryland people in spite of the efforts of Mr. George W. Heanault, who is the prospective candidate from that section. Mr. Heanault says he can carry Prince George's, Charles and An- ne Arundle, with a probable chance of Cal- vert, and that in the event of a combina- tion with J. Benj. Camielier of St. Mar: he can get them in line. He spoke freely of the split between Cummins and Keefer and stated that, upon good authority, the twenty-third and twenty-fourth wards of Baltimore city, whose delegates were also in attendance at the fair, would support him in preference to either. Politics seemed to be the principal topie of the morning until the races began, when the masculine portion of the crowd adjourn- ed to paddock, track and books to particl- pate in the sport.

Englishmen Still Drawing Lessous From Our Victory at Santiago. Correspondence in Len Jon Chronicle Much has been said of the man behind the gun, and it has been pointed out that the Saxon being superior to the Latin, it Was only natnrai that Spain should be de- feated on the sea. V. true; and yet it secms to me one factor in the equation has been overlooked. Morality counts in fight- ing like everything else. Your honest man is a better man—in all things—than a rogue. According to the testimony of one of the officers of the Spanish fleet the crew of the Cristobal Colon were mainly convicts, taken out of the gacis and forcibly put aboard the ship just before she sailed from Spain. Is it Lo ve supposed for one minute that men of this stamp could stand up be- fore American sailors—sailors because they love their work and glory in their country? Another Spanish officer is authority tor the statement that liquor was plentifuliy ser ed to all the crews before tne ship left Ban- uago harbor, and that a great many of the men were drunk. Drunken convicts pitted aguinst sober, cool-headed American free- men! Is it surprising that in sixty min- utes Cervera’s fleet was a mass of twisted steel and iron, while the American squad- ron had passed through its ordeal un- ecathed? We have been finding explanations for the marvelous “hitting qualitics” of the American gunners, as demonstrated both at Manila and Santiago. One, to me the simplest, has been overiooked. There are very few Amencan naval commanders who Lave had much experience in fleet work. American squadrons have rarely consisted, since the close of the civil war and until the commencement of present hostilities, of more than three or four vessels, and these have generally been scattered over the sta- tion. There has been practically ne oppor- tunity for fleet evolutions, for the intricate maneuvers which distinguish Huropean navies. In their place American command- ers have devoted their time to gun drill, to sub-caliber and target practice, with the cne end in view of bringing their men to the highest state of proficiency as gunners, Probably, in fleet tactical evolutions the Amencan admiral might be at a disadvan- lage, but in gunnery he has shown the world what he can do. Another thing we have been taught is the uselessness of the conning tower. It can- not be ascertained that a single command- ing officer avatied himseif of the protec- tion of his armored citadel. The space ig too narrow to permit a captain to see everything happening around him, and in acticn the commander's vision must not be narrowed. Perhaps even a strong+r objec- tion to the use of the conning tower ts the the i] las Pandit
