Never before perhaps in the history of legislation has a larger or more influential delegation invaded the halls of the Slate House a that which appeared to-day in support of the anti-pool bill. The deep public; interest manifested in measure was evidenced by the composition of this delegation. It was made up of all classes of society, and.

while mainly composed of residents of Baltimore city and enmity, was fairly representative of the sent i throughout the en tiro State. Ministers, professional men, merchants and mechanics worked for the common cause and urged tho evils of the pool-selling system. The good results of this invasion are not to be underestimated. When members saw the sentiment of the State, as developed by the presence persons who usually refrain from interfering in legislation on any sub ject, they became convinced of overwhelming wish that this bill should become law, and nearly all the opposition a hud heretofore existed was swept away under i influence. When the bill came up for passage it was carried by the decisive vote of to o--only seven members of the ninety-one Delegates in tho House being absent and not voting.

The result was greeted with applause from all over the hall, indicating tho great satisfaction with the result.

Delegate Scolt, a popular nieiii- from Washington county, made presentation speech, to which the Speaker responded happily.

Iu the Senate President John Walter Smith was presented i a landsomu gold watch and chain "as a token of appreciation by his fellow Senators of his integrity and ability as a Senator and i a i a i as a presiding officer."

Senator ISogers, of Howard county, and Senator Smith, of Caroline county, made felicitous and highly complimentary speeches on the occasion. Senator i of Caroline, in his remarks on the floor, spoke warmly of Senator Smith and his uniform fairness and kindness to himself and fellow members.

he referred to the gift of gold, although but a slight token of the esteem iu which President is hold, as emblematic of the purity of the President's otlicial acts. Continuing the figure the it was the very embodiment, id' time, and its chain strength. "May it not," he said "hen.suitable reminder of that other golden a i (or (iohl- liulc), by the aid of which we are enabled to develop strength character, nnd so time our conduct through remainder of our lives as to be able, always, to do others a wo would have I hem do unto us. t'liurl.
