*    First Fidelity directly owns 198,300 outstanding shares of Company Common
     Stock.  In addition, as previously reported, First Fidelity was granted an
     option pursuant to the Option Agreement described in Item 4 of the
     Original Schedule 13D (as defined below) to acquire 3,300,000 shares of
     authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock which option has not yet
     become exercisable.  First Fidelity expressly disclaims beneficial
     ownership of such option shares.  See Item 5 of the Original Schedule 13D.

**   Based upon the 16,683,931 shares reported by Baltimore Bancorp to be
     outstanding as of March 21, 1994 plus the 3,300,000 shares obtainable by
     First Fidelity upon the exercise of the stock option described in Item 4
     of the Original Schedule 13D were such stock option presently exercisable.

          First Fidelity Bancorporation ("First Fidelity"), a New Jersey
corporation registered as a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company
Act of 1956, as amended, hereby amends and supplements its Schedule 13D,
originally filed on April 1, 1994 (the "Original Schedule 13D"), with respect
to its deemed beneficial ownership of 3,300,000 shares of Common Stock, par
value $5.00 per share (the "Common Stock"), of Baltimore Bancorp, a Maryland
corporation (the "Company").  Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise
defined shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Original Schedule
13D.

ITEM 3.   SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

          The response set forth in Item 3 of the Original Schedule 13D is
hereby amended and supplemented by the following:

          Between May 6, 1994 and May 19, 1994, First Fidelity used funds
derived from working capital to purchase 198,300 shares of Company Common
Stock, subject to settlement, in open market transactions at a total cost of
$3,883,375, as more fully described in Item 5 hereof.

ITEM 5.   INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

          The responses set forth in Items 5(a)-(c) of the Original Schedule
13D are hereby amended and supplemented by the following:

          Common Stock.  Between May 6, 1994 and May 19, 1994, First Fidelity
acquired, subject to settlement, an aggregate of 198,300 outstanding shares of
Company Common Stock, which shares represent 1.19% of the currently outstanding
Common Stock and, when combined with the shares that may be purchasable upon
the exercise of the Option, 17.50% of the shares of Common Stock, giving effect
to such exercise of the Option.  First Fidelity has sole power to vote and
dispose of such shares.

          Set forth below is a summary of the transactions effected by First
Fidelity in shares of Common Stock during the period May 6, 1994 through May
19, 1994.  Each of such transactions was a brokerage transaction effected in
the open market.  There were no open market purchases of Company Common Stock
during the period March 22, 1994 through May 5, 1994.
