PROSE TAKES THE 2.17 EVENT Hut Ilnd a Competitor In Ilcrt Slid don-OIcMlchnolt or llcrwlck, aud Dunn, or Scriinton, tho Jllcyclo Wlnnorii--Iny Wns 1,'crfoct, Ctowil Iitirgc, llnccn Good, and KvcrythlnR Conspired to iMnliO tlio Opening Day n 1'orfcct One. Everything conspired yesterday to give a good seni-off to the opening of the four-day horse and bicycle race meet nt the Scranton Drlvlnjr park. Tho ciowd was large, the weather fine, the speculation lively, and there were runaways and accidents galore, enough of everything1 to furnish an Ideal after noon's sport. The 2.17 trot or pnee event, purse $400, wan won by Prose, nnd tho 2.29 trot, purse $250, by Clay Fullerton. The bicycle winners were Will McMlchacl, of Berwick, In the hnlf-mlle open, and William Dunn, of this city, In the two mile handicap. Maryland Boy, a handsome black gelding, owned by E. D. Pendleton nnd driven by "Sam" Earing, one of tho best drivers at the track, upset a good many calculations In the llrst heat of the 2.29 trot by a collision with the fence at the beginning of the last turn for home. The horse was In fourth place at the time. Earing was thrown to the track and escaped Injury both from the fall and from being trampled by the other horses. Maryland Boy ran through the field and caught tho lenders In the stretch. He was first under the wire, but kept the pole and slowed up with the other horses on the first turn, where he was caught, MORE ACCIDENTS. There were two accidents In the first heat of the 2.17 event that were more fceilous. Pomp, a sorrel gelding, owned by D, F. Mulr and driven by C. A. Hnr ner, ran Into the fence on the upper turn, but the rear wheel was torn off and the dragging of the axle kept the runaway sufficiently In tho rear to al low tho other horses to finish undis turbed. Tho animal made the circuit of tho track with the remains of the sulky pounding his heels at evety leap. On his second trip up the backstretch he swerved off the track to tho bank and skirted the outside fence until he reached the head of the homestretch, when he again sought the track and toie past the grandstand at a mad clip, the ruined sulky bounding, against his legs with such force as to make it prob able that he will be In no condition to race for months. He slowed up on the first" turn In answer to the bell and was caught. In the same heat Mabel V a prom ising bay mare, owned by George M. Hallstead, partly threw a shoe which cut a foreleg tendon nearly In two. She was being driven by Hob Westlake. It was with difficulty that she hobbled off the track. A veterinary stated that the maro would be useless until next year. About 1.200 persons were on the grounds. The majority were horsemen, though hundreds were ladles or other spectators who always make a holiday out of a horse race meeting. While the track was In good condition ns far as footing Is concerned It was too dusty to bo fast and In consequence the time was disappointing In all the events, but with the runaways, a bicy cle "spill," sharp competition, brisk speculating by the talent and sharp competition on the track the afternoon was all that could be asked from a sporting standpoint. There was add ed pleasure In the music furnished by the Lawrence band. At 1.30 o'clock the bicycle events were started and less than an hour latter the track was ready for the hotses. 2.29 TROTTING EVENT. In the 2.20 trot, purse $250, there were 14 withdrawals out of 23 entries which left a field of nine to go to the post. Although a big Held they were well sent away in the first heat on the fourth trial with three trailing. Little Rose and Josephine, the two horses most fancied, showed the way after the first turn and kept It until the second trip through the back stretch, where Fay and Clay Fullerton, who were with Maryland Boy In the second bunch, showed In front. On the last turn the accident happened to Maryland Boy and had a great deal to do with the positions nt the finish, as nearly the wholo field was under a pull coming to the wire. Time, 37, 1.13, 1.50, 2.29H. The second heat was made In much faster time but, as far as positions ore concerned, was very nearly a re petition of the opening heat. The heat from the start was between Clay Ful lerton and Lentolus. At the head of the homestretch the latter broke and Prince M seemed a likely candidate for second but Lentolus was well driven and got the place by a length, tho same distance In the wake of Clay Fullerton. Time, 35,&, 1.11, 1.48, 2.25',4. Clay Fullerton sold against the field to win the last heat and race and the confidence of the talent was not mis placed. The heat was a contest be tween Fullerton nnd Lentolus, the pair having several lengths of daylight be tween them and the field as soon as tho first turn was reached, At no point In the mile did more than a length nnd a half separate the two pacemakers. Fullerton showed first Into the reach for home and won hand ily by a half length, without urging, from Lentolus, the rest finishing in the ruck. Time, 33, 1.10, 1.46, 2.25. Topsy R was by consent of the Judges withdrawn from the final heat on ac count of lameness. Summary: 2 29 trot: purse, $250 Clay Fullerton, s. g., Henry Vell....l 1 1 Lentolus, b. g., J. W.

It was a coincidence In the 2.17 trot or pace, that Bert Sheldon, the old campaigner who won tho excltlnu free-for-all and drew tho pole at tho last meeting, c-hould again draw that posi tion for the first heat yfsterday. The scratches were Yolo II, Bessie A, Bel fry, Burron "Wood, Teresa B, Red Hov er, Ethel Ray, Dolly Spencer, Coral word, Pansy L and Red Ball. A good field of six went to the post. Like the first heat of the 2.29 event there were two accidents and one run away but neither affected tho finish. Eva took the- pole from Bert Sheldon on the flist turn and wlth'Proso set tha pace for the whoU distance. Tlmoi M, 1.09, 1,43, MU gi-iU- f,'m co-itsr mid driver, O. O. Smith, claimed that he had been fouled by Eva on tho llrst turn hut the judges would not allow the claim. r.ert Sheldon and Mary .West went to the post equal favorites tor the sec ond heat. They were sent away In a. lino and kept In a bunch during tho first half. Mary "West and Eva were making the pace hut on tho first turn Mary West broke and the order was Eva, Prose and Bert Sheldon up the back stretch. On the lant turn Eva. quit and Prose had a lead of two lengths at the head of the Journey home. Bert Sheldon made an effort to win but was second by a half length. Time: 33, 1.09, 1.44, 2.18. In the third heat Mary West and Eva ware never dangerous. Prose kept the pole and never was he headed, al though Bert Sheldon was at his flank or quarters at all stages of the game, tho last run up the "back-stretch ex cepted. It was a pretty finish at the wire, Prosn drlvlnc out by but a half length from the game old black, a half-dozen lengths, showing between the pair and Mary West nnd Eva ho finished as named In a drive, Eva third by only a head. The time was slow: 35, 1.10. 1.45, 2.20. SHELDON'S. OPPORTUNITY. Bert Sheldon's splendid work In the two preceding heats courted such favor that he was almost as much fancied as Prose to win the fourth. The black had to w In It from Prose In order to bag third money. The older was: Prose, Hert Sheldon, Eva tor the first half, the first two passing tho grandstand nenrly neck and neck. In making tho fit st turn on the third quarter Prose missed a step or two and gave Sheldon an accepted chance for the lead In the bnck stretch. He showed first Into the Hn.il stretch two lengths before Piose who covered the distance home In fast time and was onlv a half length be hind Sheldon nt the wire, Mary West and Eva hopelessly out of It. Time: 33, 1.09, 1.44. 2.21. Prose wns a prime favorite and was selected asalnst the field to win the fifth hent and th( race. They wero sent away on the second trial to the prettiest stait of the dav, the nose of each horse making a perfect Una un der the wire. It was apparent from tho start that the winner would bo found In one of the two trotters, Prose or Sheldon, and after the first half Prose was picked to get first money out of the big purse. Prose was first Into the last stretch for home by a good three-quarters of a length and going easy. Sheldon was given the whip but ho had shot his bolt and could not do better at tu'e'wlre than cut down half of the length that hail separated him from Prose a furlong from home. Tho two pacers Eva and Mary West wero a bad third and fourth. Time: 36, 1.10, 1.47, 2.2'.'. Summary: 2.17 trot or pace: purse, $100 Prose, bh Lehighton View Farm 3 112 1 Bert Sheldon, bl. g., G. O.

The half mllo open, the first of the two bicycle events was called nt 1.30 sharp. Twelve men lined up with Os wald on tho pole, and McMlchael, White, Gregory, Palmer, 4 Keller, Strong, Marsh, Dunn, Ernst, Hall and Lee In tho order named. A time limit of 1.15 was placed on the event as no pacemaker was put in. The start was n perfect one, the line moving out as one man. They rode well bunched to the quar ter, when White and McMlchael worked to the lead, commencing a full quarter sprint. The entire crowd tacked on getting well up In a driving finish, McMlchael winning from AVhlte by Inches with Oswald third. Time 1.10 2-5. An Intermission of about ten minutes was allowed s6 as to give the men time to be rubed down before the next event, the two-mile handicap. The handicap brought out thirteen start ers, as follows: White on the scratch, with Keller at 20 yards, McMlchael 35 yards, Gregory 50 yards, Dunn 90 yards, Oswald 100 yards, Palmer 110 yards, Lee 120 yards, Marsh 130 yards, Strong 140 yards, McGowan 150 yards, Ernst 160 yards, Hall 175 yards. The long mark men went hard at It, doing their best to hold the lead given them by the handlcapper. They were unable to do so however, as the short mark men, White, Keller, McMlchael and Gregory caught them with ease on the first half of the second mile. Marsh and White worked up a pretty sprint around the bunch on the lost turn of the second mile. Both were going well and looked like winners, when one of them slipped In the sand bringing hoth to earth, and there fore putting them out of the event. Dunn then broke ftom the field, fol lowed by McMlchael and Strong, fin ishing In the order named after a hard struggle, while pedaling for the tape. Time 4.44 1-5.

A circular containing tho following has Just been Issued by Rev. A. P. Doyle, of New York, .the national secretary: A. Tho topic of burning Interest justjrow Is tho national convention which wllfas. semblo in Scranton, Pa., the 18th of August, and as the time approaches tor its convening our Intel est In It Increases Tho local committee Is making every effort to give the delegates from the ve rlous parts of the country on enthusiastic reception. It has made atrangements with nil the railroads centering In Scranton, as well as with contributing roads, to carry dele, gates to the convention for a fare and one-third en the certlfU-nte plan1 that Is, delegates going to the convention must pay full fare gotr.g, secure a certificate from the selling agent, and with this ceitlftcate duly countersigned by an atent employed for that purpose, as well as A.

MEARS & Thoro are so many places of Interest In nnd about Bcranton, nd there 1 so much that Is new to visitors In tho city, that It wilt not bo difficult to give all who como such a roynl time that they will go away pleased as well as Instruct ed by their visit to tho coal regions. The mining of coal, the delving Into tne bowels of the earth, the peculiar life that is generated by working ways be neath the surface of tho ground; tho history of the development of the Indus try, as well ns the history of associated Industries dependent upon the coal depos its; all of these and many others will make the visit of the delegates to Bcran ton a memorable affair. But while these are suggested as In ducing reasons for delegates to attend, thcro are othcrr of far more Importance to us as temperance workers. The convention Is a time when tho best workers como together and rclnto tho Btory of their endeavors nnd successes during tho year; tell of tho methods pur sued, and of the results secured, and drink deep of the enthusiasm that Is born of the gathering of theso crowds, and carry back to their societies what they have learned for the purpose of re animating tho local work and bringing to their fellow. workers a new life and vigor. It therefore Is absolutely necessary tlvtt societies send delegates who will not con tent themselves with nmuscment during the convention, but will contribute t'ne'r voice and Interest to tho common cause, and will bring back on their return homo some enthusiasm to reward tho society for having paid their expenses to tho convention. Representatives from St. Leo's bo clety attended a meeting of members of St. Paul's society In Co-operative hall. West Side, last evening to nr range for the entertainment of dele rankgates to tho convention.
