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
cattle especially, were greatly admired
by the men who know the nluo of
good Jeiseys, Ilolstolns nnd Arshlres.
for theio weie moio thnn eighty of
them, divided Into four divisions. 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.

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.

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

slipping an eccentric, and tho engineer

As they wero working they
heard a terrific yell, and then a wild
cat sprung on tho engineer, knocking
him down. The fireman struck tho
animal in the head with a wrench,
and it quit tho engineer and attacked
tho fireman. This gavo tho engineer
tlmo to draw his revolver, and he out
a bullet through tho brute's head, kill
ing it outright. It was three feet long
and weighed forty pounds. Both men
wero badly scratched by tho cat.

This league's first season proved a
glorious success, nearly nil of the
teams coming out of tho laco with
waving colors. 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.

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

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
