In the 2.20 Event Two Other
Scranton Horses Wero In These
Events Card for This the Big Day
of the Fair. ;
From a Stuff Correspondent.
Wool Plttston, I'a., Sept. 10. Lnckn
tvannn. county liorfcoa won the two rnccn
licld here this afternoon. Two first
jilitccs mid one second Is the record for
the Hint tlny's riicliiff. Tlmewood, a
black Rcldlns. owned by Ii. A. Patter
son, of Carbondale, won the first race,
for the 2.17 class, after two heats had
been placed to the credit of Gallic K.
C. P. AVentz, of Scranton, saw his
brown, white-faced gelding, Prince D.,
win the Bocond race In three straight
heats, with II. S. Gorman's Post Haste
Bceond. '
The racing was not very xcltlnn,
none of the finishes being of the hair
raising order. There were no accidents
to mar the day. About 2,500 persons
were Inside the gates this afternoon.
In the agricultural portion of the fair
the display of poultry breaks all previ
ous records, both In quantity and qual
ity. The Spring Brook Poultry farm
lias a number of fancy blooded hens,
roosters and chicks. Besides these
there Is a coop of golden pheasants,
formerly the property of Colonel Lou I a
A. "Watres, of Scranton; a coop of Jap
anese pheasants and one each of Eng
lish pheasants and chicks.
In the poultry building the cnckle of
the fowl, the howling and barking of
the dogs and the cooing of the pigeons
draws the attention of every visitor.
In one of the wire-covered kennels a
black spaniel and a, Maltese kitten get
ilong together very amiably. Two Shet
land ponies with ground-sweeping tails
are favorites with the children.
ADDITIONAL EXHIBITS.
A large number of additions were
made to the exhibits this morning in
nil the departments, particularly In
that of household products. Among the
special exhibits In the fancy goods Is a
handsome Paisley shawl, such as our
grandmothers wore, which bears a card
stating it was bought in England in
1745. There Is a ladles' garment em
broidered in gold from Cairo, Egypt,
and a Scotch tea coscy and Scotch
bonnet. Among u lot of hand-painted
china are two antln.ue pieces which
served as wedding presents In ISIS.
Among the mercantile displays is one
by' the Columbus Buggy company, the
American Photo Paper company and
Hendricks & Son, of West Plttston,
nicklc Dlatcrs.
The amusement venders anil. fakirs
are lens numerous this year than usual.
In fact, there arc scarcely enough out
side attractions. Vl'lie usual noise made
by the "barkers" Is missing and those
who have games of skill or chance to
exploit utter their encomiums in sub
dued tones. Perhaps there may bo a
revival of the old-style vociferous yell
ing tomorrow, the. "big day" of the
fair.
Today was distinctly horseman's day,
as the great majority of the onlookers
were solely there to watch tin fast
steppers. Assembled along the rail,
stop-watch in hand, the warming up of
the trotters and pacers seemed to have
a fascination nlmo&t as great as the
races which followed.
The first race, which was scheduled
for 2 o'clock, was not called intil half
an hour later. In order to allow the
track as much time to dry out as was
possible. The officials in the judges'
stand were: Starter, James Kelly;
judges, C. C. Bowman, C. H. Cutler
and C. W. St. John: timers, P. M.
Hughes and S. B. Bennett; clerk of
course, "W. E. Saxe. When the first
race was called there were not more
than 1,000 persons on the grounds and
less than 100 in the grandstand. The
races were disposed of as follows:

I
THE FIRSTBORN.
Why is it that the firstborn child is so
often the healthiest of a family of chil
dren? The reason seems to suggest it
Belf. As child follows child the mother
has less and less vitality; often not
enough for herself and none, therefore,
for her child.
Expectant mothers who use Doctor
ierce's favorite in
scription find that it
keeps them in vigor
ous health. They eat
well, sleep well and
are not nervous.
When baby comes its
advent is practically
painless, and the
mother is made hap-
I)y bv the birth of a
jealthy child. If you
would be a healthy
mother of healthy
children use "Favor
ite Prescription,"
'I will be very glad to
ay a few words for Dr.
Pierce's Pavoritt Prescrip
tion," write Mrs. P. 3.
Douglas, of MansoQville,
Broiu; Co., Quebec. Dur
ing the first four months,
wfieu I looked forward to
becoming a mother, I suf
fered very much from nau
sea and vomiting, aud I
felt to terribly sick I could
scarcely cat or drink any
thing. . I hated all kinds
oi loou. At tins time I
Wrote to Dr. Pierce, anil he tald inr to trrt hl
Favorite Prescription i and a bottle of ' Golden
Medical Discovery,' I got a bottle of each, and
when I had taken them a few days, I felt much
better, and when I had taken hardly three parts
of each bottle I felt well aud could eat as well as
any one, and could do my work without any
trouble (I could not do anything before). I feci
very thankful to Dr. Pierce for his medicine,
and I tell all who tell mc tliey arc sick, to get
these medicines, or write to Dr, Pierce,"

THE MARKETS
Wall BtrMt JUvlew.
Now York, Sept, 10. For tho most part
tho tendency of today's market was ir
regular, though opening with consldctnblo
strength which was well maintained un
til tho last hour. About that time iru
morn of the serious Illness of KubscII Sage
caused a Belling movement In tho Gould
stocks, tho remainder of tho list being
sympathetically affected. Conditions na u
whole favored higher pi Ices. Kniiy nd
vices told of a truce between the Penn
sylvania and Gould Interests. Largely as
a result of these lust rumors and aided
by clever manipulation, Pcnnsylviilllajind
Baltimore and Ohio, whoso Interests are
virtually Identical, advanced over a point
eneh nnd tho Gould stocks also gained.
In tho enmo movo Improvement was
shown by St. Paul, Louisville nnd Nnsh
vllle, Rock Island, Now York Ccntrnl,
Illinois Central and tho Wabashcs, but
tho Industrial list wns neglected sayo
for somcnctlvlty and bettor prices In tho
gus stocks and American Jco preferred
Following a brief halt toward tho end of
the first hour during which tho list
sngged, thero entno an active demnnd for
Union Pacific, Reading, Manhattan, Atcli
Isan and some of tho specialties. At tho
sumo time there was somo selling of Mis
souri Pacific by brokers who had been
netlvo on the other side. St. Paul, on per
sistent rumors of an Increased dividend,
made a further advaneo nnd Rendlng's
strength was well maintained In spite of
obvious prolll-taklng In Pennsylvania,
Baltimore and Ohio and New York Cen
tral. United States Steel shares were
taken up, tho common being very exten
sively traded In nnd simultaneous
strength was shown by Tennessee Coal
and iron and other stocks of that class.
Thero was no news to account for the In
creased Interest In these Issues other than
tho cencrnl prosneiitv of tho steel and
Iron trade. The feature' of the last hour
wns a .1 point decline In Missouri Pacllic
and tho refusions In tho standard rail
way list including Baltimore and Ohio,
Norfolk nnd Western. Reading. St. Paul
and New York Central. The Selling move
ment wiped out the greater part of thn
day's gains nnd In somo Instances caused
net losses. St. Paul and Missouri Pacific
making the most serious declines. New
high records for tho day Included St.
Paul, Missouri Pneltlc. Rock Island, Bal
timore nnd Ohio. Rending first preferred,
Southern Pacific, Missouri, Kansas and
Tcxns preferred. AVahash common nnd
preferred. Wheeling and Lake Erin sec
ond preferred, St. Joseph and Grand
Island first preferred, Keokuk and Dcs
Moines, AVestlligliousc, Republic Iron nnd
Steel and American Car md Foundry
Total sales today, l,22I.Gno shares. Tho
bond market maintained a Htm tone dur
ing the grcntter part of the day despite
the heavy realizing In Wabash debentures
which depressed them two points. Tho
market sold off in sympathy with tho
decline in stocks. Totnl sales, par value,
$1,893,000. United States old 4s declined ',
per cent, and the new 4s registered ad
vanced and the do. coupon per cent,
on the last call.

The Incoming Goods Show
The FirstFlushof Fall Styles
a
, The richest of foreign dress stuffs have just
reached us. American fabrics, too, that (testify to the
march of progress in American textiles. The really
swell things are those we get first, styles that come
early, meant for early buyers who appreciate the new
est things. You will approve of them ; they are like
the first blush of sunshine to an early riser.
New Suitings
New Skirtings
New Waistings
We bought freely and to good advantage. We1
halve the advantage with you in the values at the,
prices. For instance
Handsome "Printed Fleece."
These goods are fleeced on one side, the patterns
and colorings are most desirable; you'll find goods
just like them at ten cents and twelve and a half cents
the yard elsewhere. By dividing the advantage we'
make the price eight cents the yard to you ; can you
resist it?
The Advance Guard.
i
We presume there are a good many anxious for a
first peep at the new dress goods styles; some want
to buy, but all want to see them.
They're here, and you are, welcome-to look or
buy, or both. ,
Rich plain goods, natty fancies, choice novelties,
in fact, a variety of handsome stuffs worth looking at.
Needless to tell you to look in our windows; you
always do tnat.
