          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 further 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 4.   Purpose of the Transaction.

          The response set forth in item 4 of the original Schedule 13D
is hereby amended and supplemented by the following:

          On November 29, 1994, upon satisfaction or waiver of all
conditions specified in the Merger Agreement, as amended by an
Amendment, dated October 17, 1994, providing for an alternative to the
Thrift Merger, the Merger was consummated in accordance with the terms
of the Merger Agreement, as amended.  In connection with the Merger, the
Option Agreement was terminated in accordance with its terms.  First
Fidelity did not exercise any rights to purchase Common Stock pursuant
to the Option Agreement.
     
Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

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

          In connection with consummation of the Merger on November 29,
1994, the Option was cancelled without having been exercised and the
Option Agreement was terminated.  In addition, upon consummation of the
Merger, in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, as
amended, all of the Company Common Stock (except shares held directly or
indirectly by First Fidelity other than shares held by First Fidelity in
a fiduciary capacity or in satisfaction of a debt previously
contracted) was converted into the right to receive the merger
Consideration and the Company is no longer an independent, publicly-
traded company.  Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, as amended,
all Company Common Stock held directly or indirectly by First Fidelity,
other than shares held in a fiduciary capacity or in satisfaction of a
debt previously contracted, was cancelled and retired and ceased to
exist upon consummation of the Merger and no exchange or payment was
made with respect thereto.

                                  SIGNATURE

          After due inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief,
I hereby certify that the information set forth in this statement is
true, complete and correct.
