Moro tlmn 6,000 poisons worn In ntteii'lanrr nt tho third ela.vs' meeting of tho Wyoming ARrlrtlltili.it soe Ic-tv tndav nt this place. Tlu warm, sunny, fall niorn Inpr In ought out all who 1ml given a passing thought to coming ptevlously. A look at the vehicles Inside the high board fence would lend one to believe that ovciy curia Re, vvngon nnd carry -all In Wyoming county was tlieie. Visitors from the furthest sections of the county lines got up before dav light, and diove many miles In older to put In an cnily ap peal ance The quaint old covered bridge oer the Susquehanna re-echoed to tho sounds of falllnR hoofs, tho rumble of wheels and tho jollity of meiiv lnURhter fioni early In the mornliiR until late In the evening. All Tunkhannock seemed to bo on the street corners, watching their more rural neighbors dilve In fioin the fcu burbs. The Riounds presented an nnlnintcd pleture. eer shifting1, cor changing; n bilRht m ray of colois, feminine grace nnd masculine .stiongth. Tho gills from this section typify the nov elist's descriptions of the rural maiden, rosy-cheeked, dimpled and plump. At noon cloths woio spread in many places, out In tho opnn nir, nnd nu merous Rroups of laughing plcnlckeil enjoyed their mid-day meal unham pered and unrestrained by tables, chairs, or even dishes In many in stances. ACTED AS LUNCH COUNTERS. Again, tho carrlnges nnd surrey served us lunch counteis, nnd In many a bugRy was enacted n pretty tableau of Maiy Jano and her best young man having a tete-a-ttto dinner out of the same lunch basket. The fakirs aie present in largo number- today, nnd "there nre all kinds of games, somo Instructs e, more less so. One man has two littlo tents pitched, witli a variety of games that soon exhausted the pockets of tho young men, who lind little chance against it. It cost a quarter to try your luck, w ith the promise of a reward of a box of clgais, if jou were lucky enough to get Into the right pocket. But the little mbher ball was In league with Its owner, apparently. Later in tho day tho gamesters wcio driven fiom tho giounds. At 10 a. in the flist lace of the day was called. It was tho continuation of tho 2 27 class tiot, which was called on ac count of daikness yesterday. Tho de scription of the race will bo found further down in this aitlclo. t half-past 12 theio was a tilum phal piocession of nil tho hoises nnd cattle that hnd been entered for pre miums. The cnvnleade passed twice mound tho race track and was nn imposing array of blooded stock.

Tho parade wrs headed by the Lovelton Cornet band, tooting Inspiriting music. MANY SORANTONIANS. A good many Scrantonlans were present nt tho fair today. Lack of space forbids enuino'ation of them, but doubtless the fact that a good many weio Intel estod in the horse races nnd that a goodly number of Electiic City tiottris were enteied in them, accounts in a large measure for their piesence. The dei lslons of the judges of tho vnilous dpaitments as to the merits of the goods enteied for their Inspec tion seemed to gie geneinl satisfac tion. Tho list is too long to lcpro ducc. It Ik enough to say that tho exhibits dlspla.ed in tho halls and stalls for piemlunis vvtio neer ex celled in any pievlous fair hold on these biouikIh. Thoy nio a ciedlt nllko to their owneis and to tho ofllceis of the fair. Right here a word rhould bo said In commendation of thes ofllceis. Presi dent Staik, Societal y lteynolds and the other olllceis, ably assisted by Superintendent AVhcelock, who bad en tire hiipct vision of tho giounds,, did oil that could possibly bo done to mako their pitions feel at ease nnd enjoy thciubelves. Their geniality, at tention to details, and couiteous treatment of exhibitors and specta tors alike, made the success of tho silver nnnlversaiy of this association assmed A ery good exhibit of car riages was made by a local film of deatcts, also a department of fann ing Implements atti acted much atten tion. Other featuics of interest out side the goods entered for premiums were sewing machines, pianos, photo graphs, horse goods, blankets and nov elties of all kinds. TRIALS OF SPEED.

Sombrero That Cost Six Thousand Dollars Knocked Down by a Wild Cat Personal Points nnd News Whlttllngs Sot EortU In Concise Fashion. bpeclil to the Srraiiton Tribune Susquehanna, Sept. 20. Sam Woos tcr, a fanner llv lug nenr Windsor, owes his life to his dog. On Monday, Woostcr went out upon a hill to fell trees. The dog followed him. Wooster cut down a tall oak. It fell and lodged against another tree. Wooster stiuck the butt of tho fallen trco a few sharp blows with tho ax, and It slip ped off tho stump nnd pinned him to the ground. Theio was a depression In the earth under Wooster's body, cl.so ho would have been killed in stantly. Ho shouted. The dog appeared, nnd seeing the predicament of his mas ter, began to bark, supplementing It with attempts to pull his master'from under the tree. Finding that useless, the dog ran towards the home. Ar riving there ho sat down In the door way and howled. Tho men In tho house paid no attention. The dog dashed back to his m ister. In a few moments the howling of the dog was again henid at tho door of tho farmhouse. When tho door was open ed, the dog wns seen with his mas ter's hat in Ills mouth. Tho men at once saw that something was wiong, and followed the dog, which still car ried tho hat When tho tree was reached, Wooster wns nearly exhaust ed. He was soon icscued. His dog is not for sale. QUEI.R BOUNDARY POINTS. In an old Susquehanna county deed a certain boundary lino was dcscilbed as terminating at "a stump where Daniel Hnnlngton licked William Jones." In the early days of Harmony township, a road was laid out, which was desciibed as "running fiom Com foit's meadow to the stream where old Mr. Doollttle's horse died." TOWN AND COUNTRY. The case of a little visitor to this vicinity, who rather missed the con veniences of tho city, Is cited as show ing that thobc.ihon's outing is not nlwnys considered an unmixed bless ing bj those enjoying tho same. This little one had taken hla Irst walk on a country road with his mother, nnd on his return to the fnmhouso, on being nsked how she liked tho place, said verj, decidedly. "Don't like it, 'cause thete's no stict cars. I llko ridin" better'n walking'" A COSTLY SOMBRERO. An old resident of Susquehanna county has a sombrero which cost him $C,000. The only ornamentation about it is a cord of gold braid wrapped about tho crown. Yars ago tho old gentleman bought a copper mine In Mexico, for which he paid $CO0O in cas.li. Ho left his home and went to tho land of the GreasaM to show them how to mako monoy out of a copper mine. He bought tho tombreto and a big pair of boots to wti while boss ing the woikmen digging out the ore. The mine had been pi'etty well "fcaltcd," or bonWhlng cKo was the matter with it, for it gelded no money, and the disgusted piospector, after somo tlmo losing money on it, was glad enough to icturn to the hills of old Susquehanna county. Tho boots weio thrown away, and nil tho old man has to show for his $C,000 is the old Mexican sombiero. IN SUSQUEHANNA COUNTY. Monti ose Is raising money and sup plies for the Galveston Mifferers.

But one Susquehanna county couple have recently applied for a dlvoice, but some others ought to. TREED A WILDCAT. Tom Osgood nnd his two dogs treed a wildcat near Hallstead on Monday night. The cat hid In tho branches ot an oak tree, and while Osgood was circling around in the biush and fall en timber, to catch sight ot the beast, It spiang with a scioam upon tho huntei's back. Tho cat stiuck Osgood with such foico that it knocked him down. Immediately the two dogs flew at tho animal to protect their mas ter, and a lively fight followed. Tho dot's made It so hot for the cat that It ran up another tree, when Osgood shot It dead. JUST SAID ASIDE. It is not tho biggest things that mako tho most commotion. Take a mouse In piayer meeting, for instance. The best waj to encouiago a tramp is to show hhn a pilo of coid wood and other little axo of kindness. A Caibondale man has seen a whito Minliovv. Ho ought to drink some oth c bund. Tho real "boy wonder" Is tho jouth who would rather saw a stick of wood than ride a wheel fivo miles. "Tlmo brings change," but tho cash ier of a ladles' fair doesn't If she knows herself. Long sermons are spoken of ns cler ical errors. A NEW PERIL OP THE ROAD.

T HE AMERICAN LEAGUE season was closed Tuesday, September 18, nnd finds Comlskey's Chicago Whites Stockings nt the top, with Indianapolis well established in second place.

Tho season was marked by an exceedingly largo number ot ex tra Inning games and wonderful pitch ing feats. Among these latter, the feat1 of Rube Waddcll, of Milwaukee, on August 19, was the star performance. Rube defeated Chicago in a sevenlecn inning gamo by the score of 3-2. At the end of tho seventeen innings Reu ben was still apparently as fresh as a daisy nnd went In and shut tho White Stockings out in a five Inning contest. On three occasions American league pltchois succeeded in shutting out op posing teams without' a hit. Amole of Buffalo blanked Detroit, nnd Kellum of Indianapolis also blanked the Tigers Dowllng of Milwaukee, who formerly wore a Louisville uniform, let down the Cloveland nine without a hit on July 23. In the National league Brooklyn stays In tho lead with Plttsbuig mak ing desperate efforts to oveihaul the Superbas. St. Louis, Cincinnati nnd New York trail dismally nlong In tho rear. George Davis and his Gothnmltes are working llko Trojans to got out of their slough of despond, nnd may suc ceed In doing so before tho close of the season, October 14. Right off the Bat. W ANLON HAS shown clearly that ho places confidence In but one of his twirlcrs, and that Is McGInnl ty, who is now working every other day and between times. Poor McGIn nlty! It is not hard to see his finish. He may succeed In saving the flag, but nt what a cost! If ho does not ruin his pitching gear this year, a good many close students of tho game will be agreeably surprised. Hanlon's action In working McGInnlty to death recalls the glorious days when Billy Hoffer was doing tho almost daily twirling for Toxy Ned. Hoffer was a good fellow and faithful to the core. He was the onlv man who could win the pennant for Baltimore, and Hanlon Jollied him It.to working overtime. Tho next ear Billy Hotter was a dead one nnd Han lon cast him adrift. Release nnd a roast were his rewaidfor having pitched Baltimore into the champion ship. Let us hope that that sterling exponent of tho art of twirling, now defying all laws of natuie In his efforts to save tho team will not lecelve tho treatment accorded Billy Hoffei. That Hanlon Is icsortlng to every known trick to save tho Brooklyn team from falling out of the nice soft bunk they have been occupying Is certain. Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. Now that Bill Donovan has been recalled from Hartford, Iron Man Mc GInnlty may be given a partial rest, and only used in his regular turn. Donovan made his debut Mondav nnd won from St. Louis. He pitched lino ball, but Muggsy McGraw, the wily little base ball Ulysses, managed to keep the big ex-Richmond twirler guessing. In his five appearances at the plato the St. Louis captain drew four bases on balls and once managed to get his toughened anatomy In tho way of one of Donovan's softer shoots. Christy Matthewson, the Tactory vllle boy, now pitching with New York, last week received one fair trial when he held Chicago down to six hits, errors by the Giants losing him the game. The correspondent of tho Chi cago Dally News mado tho following remarks regaidlng tho big blonde: Matthewson for New York also do serves credit for pitching a good game after a bad start. AH Chicago's exe cution was done in the first and fourth. Matthewson, formerly a Vir ginia leaguer, has a good bunch of speed and an effective cross-fiie. In tho eighth, aided by tho dusk, ho struck nut Dexter and Bradley and had Mc Cormlck trimmed to the satisfaction of the crowd, but not of tho umpire, before Mao singled. He then got two strikes on Kllng, but again missed on landing the third, falling to make the record the crowd was pulling for. In Tuesday's gamo at Toronto, the Canucks touched up Klobendanz of Worcester for sixteen hits, nnd yet only scored two mns. In the sixth Inning they made live hits, ono of which was a triple contributed by Lynch, nnd yet only one run was tallied. Pitcher Duggleby, of Toronto, had ten assists to his credit, nnd tho whole team had tho very large num ber of twenty-two. Undertaker Joseph Qulnn is doomed to release by Cincinnati. Tho veteran's stick work was fair, but tho slowness of his fielding was actually painful to behold. Another release, made bv the' Reds, Is that of Arllo Latham. The clown of the diamond was onlv engaged for hla coaching powers, and Manager Allen has now decided that tho team can stagger along without Lath's sei vices. What is perhaps the r.tar batting feat of tho year was performed by Noblltt, of the Chester team, in a gamo last week with another semi professional team. Two home runs, two doubles, and a single were tho components of the Juicy bunch ot drives he gathered. Last Saturday Montreal, In a double header with Springfield, played nine teen consecutive innings without an eiror. The first game was a fourteen Innings one, and tho second only five, tho Ponies winning both Bransflcld, of Worcester, seems Buck Freeman's successor, as the Eastern League homo tun artist. Seventeen home runs have been mado by him this season. And talking about Free man, where oh where fs Bucky any way? With tho exception of being onco in awhile sent in to bat for a pitcher, poor Buck seems to have al most vanished from the firmament of which ho was buch a brilliant star last season. Tfi cjrt ttin siniinn nil iVi At H'Virt uuduii, till; j X'B 'VitW "iiw pitched for Elmlra this season, is now Base Ball Foot Ball Boxing.... twirling for Leonard's Syracuse EasU crn League team. How littlo one can nugur from tho opening of a ball gamo was beautifully demonstrated Monday at Philadelphia. Biddy Barrett smashed the second ball Orth pitched, over the fence into Broad street .and tho Reds began turning hand springs in anticipation of a general fattening ot averages. Bis; L Albert however, smiled gently, and in tho remainder of the gune tho merry Allenltcs managed to gather ono run. Jnmes D. Burns, president Detroit American Leaguo baseball club, vald Monday that tho Detroit American League club was $10,001 to the good on tho season. In other words, Burns lias cleaned up all ho paid for tho fran chlso nnd lins tho club's franchise and two parks clear to 3tart in on next season. Burns says Detroit will bo In the Anioiican league next year under a now flve-vcar ngieemcnt, and that Norman (Kid) Elberfcld will not wear a Detiolt unlfonn next year because of his ditty b ill-pl ijlng. Dick Barley has now caught on with Cincinnati, and Is plalng a splendid game In tho outfield. Tho ex-Georgetown boy Is also wielding his baton with m-irkcd effect. Klttredge, ot Woicestcr, has caught about 125 games this season, in mag nificent style. Kit. has also batted heavll Thn unofficial nviiages published of the Detroit b.ise ball team shows that Frank Dillon, last e.u the popular Hist baseman of tho Scianton team, leads the Mlehlganders with 3(11 for 1J0 games Ho Just beat out Dick Harloy who batted 300.

In addition to this he established unto himself a little lecord as a slugger by leading In extra base unites Twcnt two-baggers, seven tilples and four homo tuns weio his portion.

F( OOTBALL PRACTICE has now been started with a vim, and nil over the country the long-haired athletes nio getting in tilm for tho coming season. At Harvard Captain Quarter-Buck Daly is preparing his cohorts for tho fray, and while he has nn abundance of talent) behind the line and lias moro good halves and full backs than ho knows Just what to do with, Is shy ot strong lino men. Princeton also suffers In this line and Is sorely in need of some heavy weight playeis to add to the strength of the eleven. Ynlej will be strong this year, espec ially In tho back field, where it is likely that Hale, last year's star center and tackle, will probably be utilized. Out West things are kept lively, and Stags of the University of Chicago is gathering a splendid eleven. Ono of tho most notablo members of his squad is McDonnelly, an ex-member of tho Chicago police force. Tho foimer guar dian of law nnd order stands 6 feet 3 Inches, weighs 2S0 pounds, nnd can sprint a little, ns he is able to do a hundred yards In only a little over ton seconds. Local football enthusiasts are eager ly awaiting the opening of tho season. The St. Thomns, High School and Lackawanna teams will all be made up of young, aggiesslve plnjers, and while the college bos will perhaps have the heaviest eleven on the Seian ton gridiron, still the dlffeience In weight will not be so mniked as to glvo them nny very great advantage over their opponents, and some very close, tightly contested matches can be antic ipated.

THE AMERICAN rlflo record on point shooting was smasfied on tho opening day of tho fall festival of the California Schuetzen club nt San Francisco by A. F. Pape. At 200 yardi Papes made a score of 33S, hitting tho bull's eo 198 times out of 200 attempts. The former record, 372, was held by William Hayes, of New York city.
