Show A Maryland Tourney. Fifteen stalwart knights participated in the tournament yesterday afternoen on My Lady's Manor, Baltimore county. The tourney was held on the farm of Mr. Jacob M. Pearce, about 2t miles east of Monkton, on the Northern Central railway. The contest was one of expert horsemanship, and in this particular the tourneys of today are useful. It is only when they are likened to the chivalrous engagements of old or when they are merely for the value of the prizes offered that they become ridiculous. In yesterday's tourney prizes were given to the first four successful knights, and the next four had the honor of crowning the queen aud maids-of-honor, which were really the most coveted prizes. The coronation took place at Manor hall, near the tournament tourna-ment grounds. The royal party and others then enjoyed a dance. Baltimore Sun. |
