Among tho Features of Entertain
ment Yesterday.
From a Stall Corrrspon.lcnt.
Harford, Kept. 2fi. Tho first day of
the fair or tho Harford Agricultural
society attracted a goodly crowd of
onlookers. Tho fair grounds, which
are located on tho .summit o a high
hill ahout half a mllo from tho bor
ough of Klngsloy, nro e?:cocdingly at
tractive and pleasant. Tho spacious
buildings, their wolf-kept appearance,
the delightful grove nt one end, nnd
the open lawn In front of tho build
ings, make nn agreeable diversity and
suit each Individual taste.
Tho fair grounds comprise ahout
thirty acres on tho summit of one of
the highest hills in an extremely hilly
country. Tho borough of Harford, In
tho valley below, Is a thrifty looking
little village, seemingly In a saucer
like depression, with high ranges of
hills surrounding- It on every side.
In the east are tho celebrated Kile
mountains, tho highest In this section
of the state, towering proudly In tho
hazy distance, anil on every side of
Harford nothing but steep grades can
be seen.
Tho fair Is as yet only In Its begin
ning. Tho exhibition halls, tho stalls
for horses and cattle, the pens for
sheep and swine and the coops for
poultry, are almost empty, but that
Is always tho way tho first day. Con
trary to tho customs of most country
fairs, tho exhibitors do not come until
the second and last day, bringing their
nrtlcles for competition then, having
them judged during the day and tak
ing them back with them again nt
night. Tho first day Is but tho pre
lude, or more properly speaking, tho
stage Is set for the pastoral scenes
that are to be presented tomorrow.
This has been tho custom here for
forty-threo long years and any depart
ure from It now or making this parti
cular fair more modern in Its many
traditional features would bo resented
by Its regular patrons of tho .past
four decades.
A FASIIIjT PICNIC.
The scenes that will be enacted hero
during tho continuance of tho fair will
lather partake of the nature of a big
family picnic, or family reunion, with
the members of it numbering many
thousands. The friends of nuld lang
syne, who only seo each other once
a year, will partake of a dinner seated
around in a group under the lofty ma
ples In tho grovo and reminiscences
of boyhood nnd girlhood will be ex
changed by many a gray-head .who
has driven twenty or thirty miles to
give a hearty hand-clasp once ngaln
to the ones whom they see only at
this annual visit.
The buildings of tho society nro nu
merous and cover about two acres In
a half square. They are kept in good
condition nnd aro painted In a dull
red color with white trimtmngs. This
is quite an Improvement on many of
the fair buildings In this state, whoso
unpalnted walls nnd gaping, rough
sides, do not add to their attractive
ness. No racing of horses is indulged in,
there Is not even a race track, which
In itself Is a radical departure from
most any other county fair. No games
of any sort aro allowed Inside tho
grounds, tho only possible exception,
If it can bo called one. being a merry-go-round.
Fakirs aro kept outside tho
fence, nnd there aro few of them as
yet. Hut no man can tell what tho
morrow will bring forth.

The premium list Is an extensive nnd
varied one, comprising fifteen classes,
Baby's
Future.
The fond mother dreams great dreams
of baby's future as she holds the sleeping
little one in her arms. But the dreams
will never come true unless she has
given him a strong body and a healthy
mind. Children die in hosts, or live to
6truggle through life feeble of body and
dull of mind because the mother wot
uufit physically and mentally for moth
erhood. Women who use Do Fierce'!
Favorite Prescription endow their chil
dren with strong bodies and bright minds.
I It is every mother's duty to give her
child the advantages of a healthy body
I and mind. A weak or sickly woman
cannot do this. "Favorite Prescription"
makes weak women strong and sick
women well.
Mrs. Orrin Silica, of Downlnc Dunn Pn xvtm .
.writes: "I hae beta intending to write (a you
your ' Favorite Freserlotlon ' has done for rap. t
cannot praise It enough, for I have not been as
well for fire yean is I now am. In July last I had

J'ldgcs. This feature of todays fair
proved to be of great Interest to a largo
crowd of farmers, whose technical
knowledge of the conditions was readily
imparted for the enlightenment of the
ignorant city visitor. Tho premium of
$3 for tho best all-around ploughing
was given to C. H. Chamberlain, Har

A BALTj GAME.
During the afternoon there was a
base ball game on tho lawn Inside the
grounds between the Great Uend nnd
the Soldiers' Orphans' school teams.
Tho latter team Is composed of boys
from the school In Harford that bears
that name and a sturdy set) of ball
tossers they proved, beating their op
ponents from up the state by a score
of 19 to B. Tho teams lined up as fol
lows: Soldiers' Orphans' School Conk
Hn, first base; Matthews and Allgood,
catchers; Howell, loft field; Bambrlek,

right field.
Great Bend Stack, shortstop; Smith,
first base; Kilroy, second baso; Lcary
right field; Duval, pitcher; Koenney,
catcher; Whllden, center field; Esta
brook, third base.
In tho first Inning Manager Hat
thews, of the Orphans' school, who was
catching for that team, had his fore
finger split by a pitched ball, necessi
tating his retirement from tho game.
Allgood took his position and acquitted
himself creditably.
One of tho most attractive features
of this fair Is tho presence of a large
number of boys from this school. They
are attired in regulation t'nlted States
army uniform and wear nil the Insignia
of rank to distinguish their ofllcers.
The day was excessively hot and tho
cool shade of the grove was gratefully
appreciated by the many visitors who
had come to witness the ploughing nnd
baso ball matches. This part of tho
fair ground will no doubt prove the
most popular tomorrow unless there Is
a decided moderation In temperature.

Tomorrow tho interesting events In
clude a pulling match for teams of
horses, a contest for women to seo who

CAMPAIGN OPENED IN
SUSQUEHANNA COUNTY
Enthusiastic Meeting; of Republicans
Is Held in Village Hall in Mont
rose Other Newsy Topics.
Special to tho Scranton Tilbunc.
Montrose, Sept. 26. Tho Republican
campaign In Susquehanna county was
opened by a meeting held In Village
hall last night. The meeting was In
formal, and no special effort had been
made to attract a crowd, but the crowd
was thero for all that. At the hour of
meeting thero was present a good
natured and enthusiastic assemblage
of the Republican voters of Montrose
and Brldgewater. There was no ap
athy, there was no over-confidence. It
was a gathering of men fully aware of
tho importance of the campaign nnd
of the determined contest that must he
made to ensure complete Republican
victory.
The meetlnt: was called to order by
Chairman Ralph B. Little, of the Re
publican county committee, who stated
the object of the meeting to be the or
ganization of n McKlnley and Roose
velt campaign club, and then intro
duced the newly organized Glee club,
which rendered a spirited song, the
burden of which was "There will be no
change In tho white house; they can
not turn McKlnley out." Tho song and
Its sentiment were cheered to the echo.
Chairman Little called for nomina
tions for the office of president of tho
club, nnd Captain R. James McCaus
land was named and "was unanimously
elected to the position.
On assuming the chair, Captain Me
Causland made a brief address. In
which some telling hits were tallied
against the latter-day Democracy, to
tho manifest delight of his hearers.
Tho organization of the club was
completed by the election of George C.
Burns, secretary: T. J. Davles and A.
B. Smith, Jr., of Montrose, nnd B.
Frank Jones and E. H. Plckerlnjr, of
Brldgewater, vice-presidents. An op
portunity was given for those who de
sired to sign the roll and become mem
bers of tho club. Every voter In the
house responded to this Invitation with
alacrity.
Rousing addresses were made by T.
J. Davles, A. B. Smith, Jr., County
Chairman Little and Captain H. F.
Bepvdsley. Each speaker was warmly
greeted, and the gospel of Republican
Ism which they proclaimed aroused tho
people to a high pitch of enthusiasm.
A bevy of ladles In tho gallery graced
tho meeting with their presence, and
the applause which they accorded the
speakers was none less hearty than
that given by the sterner sex.
The organization of this club will be
Immediately followed by the formation
of similar clubs throughout tho county.
The signs are plentiful that tho Re
publicans of Susquehanna county nro
aroused, nnd when this is the case, the
outcome is sure to be an overwhelm
ing Republican victory on election day.

OTHERS GOOD RETURNS
The First Set Is Now Composed of

Closo Race In What Order Will

Yesterday's returns In The Tribune's
Educational Contest wrought consider
able havoo with tho standing. In yes
tcrday's Tribune attention was called
to tho fact that the contestants were
divided Into two distinct sets of six
each. This morning tho first set Is
composed of seven, Miss Mary Yeager,
of Moscow, having passed her first
century nnd Is drawing very close to
sixth place one or two more returns
like yesterday's and she will bo crowd
ing closo to third.
Charles Rodriguez scored his third
century, but David A. Ulrtley Is six
points nearer than he wns yesterday.
Arthur Kemmeror made the second
largest return of the day, passing up
from sixth to fourth position, compell
ing Oliver Callahan and David C.
Spencer to drop to fifth and sixth re
spectively. Fannie E. "Williams, of
Peckvllle, succeeded In scoring enough
points to pass Harry Reese and ap
pears in eighth place. Eugene Holand

sufficient to raise him above tenth
place.
As an Instance of tho closeness of
tho race may be noticed tho fact that
thero aro three contestants within the
scope of 70 points nnd three others
within tho 140 portion. Even a few
points makes material changes each
day and tho standing at the finish It is
Impossible to cstlmato or even conjec

three days great possibilities nro with
in tho grasp of many of these youns

COULD NOT BEAR
THE HUMILIATION.
A Brooklyn Girl Resents a Spanking
by Attempting Suicide.
By Inclusive Wire 'rom Tho Associated Pri.
New York, Sept. 20. "Vou will never
spank mo ngaln," screamed pretty 16-year-old
Agnes Loretta Shea, as she
escaped from her mother's grasp early
this morning nnd fled out of tho house.
An hour later the girl was founl
writhing In agony on tho sldewaN
She had taken parii green. She is
now seriously 111 nt tho Hrooklyn hos
pital, though by the prompt use ot a
stomach pump her llfo was probably
saved.
For a month, Mrs, Shea said, her
daughter has shown a disposition to be
wayward. Sho would stay out at
night, nnd when reproved would loss
her head saucily and make Impudent
answers.
Sho left tho house, 'No. 93 Brld?e
street, Hrooklyn, at 7 o'clock last
night, saying she was going for a walk
around tho block.
"Remember What I told you,"
warned her mother. "Vou must be in
early. If you stay out late again I
will punish you." Tho girl laughed
and left tho house.
Long after midnight the girl re
turned. When slio rnng the bell her
mother for a while refused to let her
In.
Finally, after tho girl had begged and
wept for awhile, Mrs. Shea opened the
door and seizing the child, gave her a
terrlblo beating with a strap. Not sat
isfied with this, for tho mother was
very angry, sho further humiliated
Agnes by taking her across her knees
