' T "" I OS f THE SORANTON TRIBUNE-SATURDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1900. :tf NORTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA THE LAST DAY OF THE DALLAS FAIR OVER SIX THOUSAND WERE IN ATTENDANCE. It Was Distinctly a Farmers' Day, the Agriculturists Being1 in tho Majority The Pacing and Trot ting Races Were, as Usual, the Greatest Attractions The Balloon Ascension Burglars Entered the Treasurer's Offlco but Couldn't Get Into Safe Containing 91,600. From n Spcclil Cori(punlcnt. Datlas, Oct. B. The last day of tho fair hero brought out a groat attend ance, over 0,000, tho largest of the meeting. The morning was cloudy and threatening, and there were several slight showers, but about noon tho clouds parted, tho sun camo out warm and full and tho crowds began to eomu in In large bunches, most of them via wagons and rigs and direct from tho rural regions. Yesterday was tho town-dwellers' day. Today It Is just as distinctly farmers' day, and tho sun-burned, rugged faces of tho rustle, citizen bur nished and glistening with vigorous apllcntlons of yellow soap and soft water are In tho majority. Why It is that the average farmer dons a black suit of clothes and his spnuo a blnck dress preparatory to driving many miles through yellow dust Is an open Question. But most of them aie thus attired, and tho wrinkles in their dress arc filled with layers of the floating loam and sand that their hotses scat ter in clouds as they toil along the parched roads. Tho fakirs are using a vast amount of lung power In proportion to the ef fect their utterances have upon the crowds. One manager, of a vaudeville aggregation on tho Midway almost rc lanses into tears as lie tells of tho enormous expense he is under to please the fair patrons, but the ones he Is pleading with listen unmoved in most cases. Some of tho catch-penny gentry have resorted to sandwich men to ad vertise their shows. There arc mote fakirs at this fair than at any other that has been held in this section this season. All Kinds of Vehicles. The lawns arc well filled with every description of vehicle propelled by horse power, man power and motive power. At the time the races wore called the grand-stand was packed and the brilliant colors worn by tho women folks lent an added animation to the already vivacious scene. At 2 o'clock it -was estimated that there -were over 6,000 persons inside tho high board fence enclosing the grounds, making this tho banner day of this year's fair. The trolley car line from Wilkes-I3arrc to. Dallas gave better service today than it did yesterday, but still the sup ply of cars was unequal to the demand and much inconvenience resulted. The horses were notified to get ready for the first race at 1.30 o'clock. It was forty minutes after when thev were ready to got going. The equine beauties commanded admiration as they paraded up and down the home stretch getting "warmed up." A race horse is a born actor, it is quite evi dent. Starting from the foot of tho stretch on a gentle trot, as ho nears the grand-stand ho arches his neck, distends his nostrils, pounds the ground with his hoofs In a thunder nf hoof beats, shakes tho flakes of foam fiom his jaws, sending it Jlyingito his flanks and with dilated eye cranes his head around to tho applauding spectators as he goes past tho stand in a fierce whirl. "When ho gets a little ways be yond he subsides Into a lamb-like docility, and walks back quietly to the starting point, where once more he becomes an animal filled with fire and mettle. These tactics are repeated until the race is started. Grand Stand Play. Then ho goes steadily along all tho way around tho circle until ho nonrs the wire, when he becomes onco again Imbued with tho idea of "plnylng to tho grand-stand" and as he comes In ahead he glances proudly at tho ex cited crowd. Then up comes the groom, at blanket Is slipped over him, and as the first impact of it is felt down goes The Bridal Feast Is not infrequently followed by a long, lenten period of enforced fasting and fleshly mortification. The cheek grows hollow, the eyes are dull and deep ringed, and the step is slow and languid. There is an "all dragged-out feeling," wuicu makes lite an utter burden. The great func tional changes which follow marriage are not usually antici pated, or the wife ly suffering might be avoided.

Yes, a race horse Is a high-class artist when It comes to showing off. The Citizens' band, of Plymouth, pleased the large crowds by its con cert previous to tho heat and by Its rendition of good music between heats allnycd tho tedium of waiting. Tho exhibits brought to the grounds for premiums have been all Judged and at 3.30 tho dismantling of tho prettily decorated departments commenced. Only tho bare walls remained an hour afterward. There weie more exhibits on view this year thnn over before In tho history of tho association. Owing to their great variety the Judges had a hard task before them, but they seem to have given satisfaction. The otllclals of the speed events were tho same as on tho previous two davs of racing, with Starter William B. Moore, of Wllkes-Darre, presiding. The first race was for tho three-minute class horses. Tho full description of this and the 2.17 class trot follow: First Race. 3.00 class, trottcn and pacers; mile heats, best three in five; purse, $100. rirst heat Thero were hut three starters out of the list of i,k named candidates, one each from .Scranton, West I'ittston and Wilkes-Barre, respectively, Prince Klfiln, Nora Mack and .1.

Bradley stepped out ahe.id, chased in good style by Callio K these two going in lively style, the chestnut mare leading by a nose in the record time for tho track of 33 seconds, a 2.12 gait. All the way around tho two leaders fought, but Callio K. forged in front a little more .it the half mile in LOST,, leading Bradley by a head, with Ea A. next, a length behind. There was no change in position when three-fourths of their journey was done in 1.41, but on the way homo M?jie I.aning shot past Ura A. and gained on Bradley, but the distance was too short and the horses were only heads apait, fin ishing with Callio first, Bradley second, Lizzie was first, lliadlcy second and Mable W. third, in lengths behind the bunch. Callie K. tho winner of tho heat is a daughter of l'ocohontas and Sim and tills is her first season in fast company, she being but four years old and her best record last year being only 2.40. Her record of 3i seconds for the quarter is wonderful, considering tho dusty, heavy track, and it can safely be pre dicted that next season she will bo away up in front in tho big circuit, Second heat This heat was delayed a while for the balloon ascension, but the horses were called as soon as the acroniut landed. The bell was tolled lo call them back seven times before tho word was glcn. At the quarter Callie K. was first, Bradley second and Mable W. third ,in clo,e order.
