Their Race Meet at Driving Park Proved a

COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIP DECIDED
R. A. Gregory Wins the Medal Good
Work of Youne; Coleman-Half-Mile
Track Record Established The
Two-Mile Handicap Was an Exciting
Race Big Entries and Many Start
ers in Every Event.
Every man entered for the races of
the Green Ridge wheelmen at the
Driving park yestrday was on the
grounds aud with one or two excep
tions nil who were entered started.
The day was a perfeet one for racing,
the attendance was Inige. the contests
exciting and enthusiasm ran high.
Consequently it was a red letter day
for Scranton bicyclists and one whicii
llio Uretin hidge wheelman can point
back to os a prond day In their history.
ine xeatnre ot tne day was the One
showing made by the Scranton boys.
Charles Coleman, the 15-year-old won
der, opened the eyes ot the racers by
winning bands down the one-mile
novice and the half-mile boys' race,
securing a mark of 2 30 for the mile-
lie is a speedy youngster and gives
promise of making a good showing in
the f utur.
R. A. Gregory is now the champion
of Lackawanna county, winning that
distinction in a fine race from seven of
tlie aekuowledged speeders ot the
county. He made an excellent record
and greatly ploased his many friends
and admirers.
Corser. of Pottsville. and Scott, of
Plainfield, X. J., were nndoubtedly the
speediest men at the meet. Corner
won every race he entered, with
the exception of the handicap,
und would have made a strong pull
for that hud not Scott etolen a march
by spurting just as the last half was
entered npon and getting a winniug
lead before the others dreamt of be
ginning to spurt. This spurt ot Saott's
was about the prettiest feature of the
day. The way he passed by those
eighteen men made them appear to be
standing still and him to be going at
express train speed. Ills ovation was
second only to that given Gregory.
J. tie time between raoas was filled in
with delightful music by the Lawrence
band.

ONE MILE OPEN. '
There being twenty-one entries In
the one mile open it necessitated two
beats. The local men who bad entered
did not start as thev wished to reserve
their energies for the Lackawanna
county championship race race wbioh
followed. This left six starters In the
first beat. They were: W. J.' Fred

iu. w. oouiey, WilKeB-barre; U W.
Krick, Sinking Springs; F. E. Doup,
Brooklyn, N. Y.; Ray Dawson, Boon

' The time made, 2.50. tells the story
of the heat. The men simply drifted
around till the three-quarters was
reiished, when the snurtlmr beean.
Krick bad the best of it and led over
the tape. Smith was second and Daw
son third.
There were eisht starters ont of

cries of "foneral." "crease your
axles," "that's pretty near a walk" and
tne nice were the creatines from tne
grand stand. The racers redeemed
themselves, however, at the stretch,
finishing in a bunch. The first wheel
wasn t off the tape before the rourth
wss on it. Scott won; Corser was
seoond and Kemer third. A track re
oordifor loafing of 3:10 flat was made.

for the final heat and expectations of a

repetition of the lotting in tne prelimi
naries a time limit of 2.40 was set.

ond and Kriek third, bnt as they failed
to eet inside the time limit the referee
compelled tbem to run it over. Four

Corser and Dawson. At the final turn
Scott, Corser and Dawson pulled up
on the leudor and passed him. Corser
won again, Scott second, Dawson third.
Time, 2 30.

twenty-three entries and nineteen
starters. The men went the first mile
in two bunches, Scott, Corsen, Krick,
Dawson and Doup, scratch and short
handicap men. forming the second
gronp. Jnst as the two crowds were
beginning to amalgamate at the last
half Scott, one of the scratch men,
pulled out of his bunch and passed the
first bunch at a lightning pace, and
when the three-quarter pole was
reached he was so far ahead of his
competitors that he could have fear
lessly gotten off his wheel and re
mounted. Ho, however, did not lag
any, bnt kept up his wonderful sprint
and crossed the tup in 4 43, which is
remarkable tlruo for two lulled. Miner

Something About the Progress of Tbat Enter-
. prise.
FINE SHOWING IT HAS MADE
Through the Medium of the Bonta
Machine People Will Yet Be Enabled
to Live in Glass Houses Twenty
Thousand Dollars Is All That Is
Needed to Complete the Work.
Election of Board of Directors.
One of the local stockholders In the
Bonta Glass company, whloh is build-
lnu;a plant near Moostc.ia talking with
a Tribune representative yesterday
about the company s plans and pros
pects, said; "I have lived in Scranton
long enough to sea jsalousies grow up
between it and adjacent cities, and all
for the simple reason that the people
of Scranton have depended almost en
tirely upon their own indnitry and
capital to give growth and strength to
almost all enterprises started in our
midst. We are Just emerging from
the greatest business depression ever
witnessed here; and, through it all, I
nm proud to say, no city in the whole
country has withstood the effect of this
business cyclone with less suffering
than have we.
"The greatest struggle is over and
today we flud our population with the
Dalauce sheet showing on the right
side. We have accustomed ourselves
in the past year by talking and acting
to meet the worst tbat might come and
to such an extent has it grown npon us
that it is difficult to realize that dark
ness has gone, that the sun of prosper
ity has risen and that the time has
come to wake up from this lethargy.
ON Jl SOLID BASIS.
"I am a stockholder in one of our
new enterprises wnicn nas moved
quietly through this depression, mak
ing slight advance from day to day, go
iuir no faster than our treasury sales
would permit, keeping the company
praelieally out of debt, so that every
stockholder owned his own stoek, free
rrom bond or mortgage iot. uur
property today is worth 4100,000, to say
nothing of our patents; und we do not
owe $300 and we have about $500,000 of
treasury stock with which to complete
our work. 1 assert, tnat no new enter
prise in this country can make a better
showing. I have held my interest
from the start, and have kept a close-
watch of the development, and I think
as a business man I can show to our
stockholders uud the moneyed men of
Scranton that the stock of our com
pany must in the near future be one of
the best paying investments in our
oi ty.
"I bave been on intimate terms with
the directors and the manager of this
company and feel confident that all
the information I have obtained, and
shall hereafter relate, can be relied
upon thoroughly.
LIVINO IN GLASS HOUSES,
"The originnl plan of this company
was to manufacture plnte glass, but the
inventor discovered before the machine
was complete, that a new industry was
possible with this machine, and one
which might be turned to produce fab
ulous profits to the stockholders, aud
at the same time enable' all, the rich
and the poor, to decorate their homes
in a much more artistic style than
could be done with lumber, and at a
much reduced cost. 'Living in glass
houses may ynt be just what we nil
desire to attain.
"Now my proposition is: Oar ma
chine and the necessary equipments
which we have, together witn the ma
terial on baud, and twelve acres of
valuable land situated between and
connecting with tbree railroads, with
sand delivered in the yard at seventy
five cents per gross ton, with hundreds
of thousands of tons ot coal culm on or
adjacent to our land, and every re
quirement for cheap manufacture,
every facility for reaching market with
cheap rates, out of dob?, aud a product
which within two years will be the
first sort finishing material for our
homes and public buildings. Shall we
let ton manager of our company go to
New York and sell our treasury stock
to complete our building and furnaces,
and by so doing necessarily part with
a portion of onr directorship? The
profits from this work will be enor
mous, and why not Keep them in
Scranton'f
"I should suy to any man with
money to invest, go to the oniee of the
company and get posted. Twenty
thousand dollars will complete the
work, I will take $1,000 more of the
stock If the balance can be raised in
Scranton. and I know it can. On Sept,
19 comt-8 the election ot directors, Let
ns bold all here."

THE TRAMP ROUND-UP
Police Make a General Raid and Se
cure Many Recruits for the
Chain Gang.
The police made a general round-up
of tramps yesterday morning just at
daybreak and succeeded in corralling
twenty-five of the rampant vagrants.
When Alderman Fitzaimtnons got bis
branding iron ready for business be
had a herd of thirty-eight of the Wan
dering Willie breed to face. Of this
number twenty-nve were stamped as
thoroughbreds and thirteen were al
lowed to go.
The raid was well planned and well
executed. Fonr squads of officers,
eaeh in charge of a lieutenant moved
at dawn upon the various stamping
grounds of the tramp. Lieutenant
Davis with the oentral city sqaxd
scoured the woods and rocks ot Nay
Aug park. Lieutenant Spellman with
the Providence eqnad swoopid down
upon the box cars in the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western switches ai d
the mines abont the North End.
Lieutenant Williams with the
Hyde Park men went through
the Diamond field and along
tbe Bloom tracks. The South Sic'e
contingent under Lieutenant Zing
took in the mills and furnaces of the
Lackawanna Iron and Steel company.
While they succeeded in capturing
twenty-five of the tramp army they
came far from getting all that are in
the citv. However, it is sate to pre
diet that if another raid were made to
day not a half dozen tramps eould be
found. Whon it is evident tbat our
police department mean business the
tramps will not liugor long in this
vicinity.
Among those caught in the raid were
wera several who gave good accounts
of themselves aud were released. Two
were sent to tbe old station house in
Center street in the charge of Pat Gilo
ride to prepare it for tbe reception of
the vagrants. The rest were consigned
to the chain gang and marched down
to the flats, where they were put to
work assisting the stone crusher iu
breaking cobbles.
During tbe day one of the gang
picked tbe lock of his manaceles and
slipped away. In thn evening the gang
was marched to the Center street sta
tion house and locked up for tbe night.
ien days is the time each of tbem will
have to serve.
The new addition to tbe gang gave
their names as follows: Fred Kuntz,
Petersburg; Hugh Taylor, Jermyn;
