There Were Two Events and One of These Was Won by Graydon, Owned by Parker and Carpenter, of Ablngton, and the Other by Wilkes Medium, Owned by Levi A. Patter son, of Carbondale Track Was Not in Good Condition and Past Time Was Impossible. from a Staff. Correspondent. West Plttston, Pa., Sept. 12. About G.OOCi persons saw two very tame horso races this afternoon at the track of the Luzerne County Pair association, today being the concluding one of the meeting. In the two races, there were but six horses and six heats. All of the racers In today's events are owned in Lackawanna county and the crowd that saw them perform were largely from tlio same section. The first race was won by Graydon, owned by Parker & Carpenter, of Ablngton, with Lillian Hoy, owned by John Slattery, of Scranton, second. Host time, 2.27. The second race went to Wilkes Me dium, owned by Levi A. Patterson, of Carbondale, with Callle K owned by George Mulley, of Scranton, second. Hest time, 2.21. The crowd that came down from Fcranton and the rest as well, were disappointed at the field of starters In each event and the manner In which they went off. Yesterday's races were so good that It was the expectation that today's programme would furnish some line sport. Each of the races was de void of exciting features or Incidents of r.ote, except when one of the drivers .was taken from his sulky and another substituted. The trainers and stable hands got busy as soon as the races were over making preparations to get their horses away for the Jlaltland fair, which opt-ns in Wnllsvllle next Tuesday. Nearly all the same performers will race, there. SCHOOLS CLOSED. The public schools of Plttston and West Plttston followed the usual cus tom today and closed at noon, so that the pupils could attend the fair In the afternoon. In consequence, youthful 1'ftces abounded, all lighted with beam ing expectancy. The big display of poultry and dogs Interested the young sters, needless to state, although var ious games of chance Imparted lessons of doubtful utility to them. The new little racing sulky, owned by Levi Patterson, of Carbondale, the only one of such a pattern seen hereabouts was the cause of much comment among horsemen and spectators. Sitting In It, the driver Is quite far below the horse's hindquarters, and Is shielded from the wind. The sulky la much narrower than the usual type and affords a gi eater chance to "sneak" through a tight place. The Metropolitan band, of Wyoming, was again In attendance, and from their corner In the grand stand! made things lively between the heats of the races. The officials In the judges' stand to day were: Starter, James Kelly, of 3'iinmore; Judges, C. C. Cowman, C. II. Cutler and C. W. St. John; timers, II. M. Hughes and S. B. Bennett; clerk, y E. Saxe. Tne track was dusty and "cuppy." On the lower turn, there was a soft stretch, making a bad footing for the pacers, particularly. A rather stiff wind blew across the track, catching the horses as they made the turn for lio-ne. The first race was scheduled to be called at 2 o'clock. At that time, there was a big throng of visitors pouring through the gates, and the grand stand was filling up rapidly. There were more ladles proportionately In today's crowds than on any of the previous days of the fair, and their bright colors made the grand stand a pretty pic ture. The races were gotten under way at 2.30 o'clock. They resulted as fol lows: FIRST KACK. 2,10 class, trot and pace; purse, $2.50. l'Mrst heat There wcro but three start ers out of eight entries, among thoso withdrawn bolus three Scranton horses, George Dunn's Kgghorn, W. Belles' Pop K and C. P. AVentz's Prlnco D. Hilly B. drew tho polo, Lillian Hoy was second and' Graydon third. The Hitter horso won In a gruelling race yesterday, win ning two of llvo liciits. At the second tilal In the scoring the horses wore np ' parently lined up good, but tho recall pounded. Tho next time up they wero ncut away. Lillian Itoy took tho lead ut the first turn and acted as pacemaker to tho quarter, where sho was two lengths In front of Graydon, with Hilly tlireo lengths behind. At tho half Gray don mndo an effort and came up to Lil lian's flank and then went by after pass ing tho stand. Tho brown gelding showed tho way all tho rest of tho journey, al though Lillian Hoy was only beaten by a head and shoulder with Billy Xi, also close up. There was not a break or skip on tho part of npy of the thrco perform ers. Time of heat, 2.31',. Second heat This whs devoid of Inter cbt until the finish. Tho word was given at tho third score, when Graydon was a, couplo of lengths ahead of tho other two. It was n. procession all the way around 1o tho three-quarter pole, with Graydon In tho lead and Lillian Boy second. In tho drlvo for homo Lillian was pushed hard for second placo by Billy II., and this caused tho handsomo little bay maro to lengthen her steps nnd Graydon moved along a llttlo faster1, too. This made a rousing finish to a tamo heat. Graydon passing under tho wire only by a lieud In front of Lillian Boy, with Billy U. half u length behind. Time of heat, '.'.SOU. Third heat The judges took tho driver of Lillian Itoy, John Slattery, out of tho Sulky nnd put up Lovl Patterson, owing to a claim that Slattery did not try to win tho second heat. Tho word was given at once to a fair start and Graydon wont right to work to win her boat and race. Tho other two wero not formid able at any time, Lillian never disputing tho load, whllo Billy B. was away back, having broken badly on the first half. Time of heat, 3.27. Summary! J, Graydon, br. g.

Tho crowd was disappointed becauso Exploit, u local favorate, was scratched. Tho trainer of Exploit, M. L. Perrln, of Plttston, took umbrago at one of tho decisions of tho judges yesterday and refused to start, thereby causing unl- fc'crwl comment.. Calllo K. got tho pole. Wilkes Medium wns second and TlnKor o ntlio outside. After three trips down tho strctoh tho word was given. Calllo K. went In the air and Wilkes Medium took tho polo at tho turn, At tho quarter Wilkes was two lengths In front of Tink er, whllo Calllo K. was half a furlong back. Tinker and Wilkes wcro the only contestants as far as tho slx-furlons mark, when Calllo K. camo with a rush nnd passed Tinker In the turn for home. Coming down tho stretch Wilkes slowed up and Gallic mndo up somo lost ground, but not enough, lor Wilkes had tho heat bv two good lengths. Time, 2.23. Second' hent-The start was a pretty one, tho three heads being on an equal lino. Tinker flashed out ahead at tho beginning of tho backstrclch and at tho quarter was a length ahead of Wllkrs. Calllo all by herself up tho stretch doing a lively dance. At tho half Wilkes caught Tinker and went by, whllo Calllo was a hundred yards behind. Wilkes had no troublo In keeping tho ban all the rest of tho Journey, finishing four lengths ahead of Tinker, Calllo escaping tho flag bo cause tho driver of Wilkes Medium slowed up. Time, 2.32V4. Third heat Tho three started at onco In a Bplcndld llnc-up.

Wilkes Medium caught and passed Tinker at tho three-quarter mark and Callle followed suit nt seven furlongs. Tho finish was a lively one, though Wilkes Medium won by two lengths.

The Long Looked-for Sport That Opens in September, From Country Life In America. To the true sportsman who seeks these rugged mountain sides In quest of his just allotment of venison, Sep tember Is the month to be looked for ward to all the year through. In what glory are the mountains robed, for al ready nro the frost's brushes at work In these higher altitudes? Despite tho fulling of the leaves, the foliage is still a trifle thick, perhaps, and yet for this very cause, Is tho sport tho keener. What 11 tonic is the clear frosty air of the day-dawn'. In the stillness of the grent forest sere and yellow leaves flutter earthward, and tho noise of their rustling uccentuates the silence. From tho black shadow of the opposite shore tho maniacal laughter of a loon suddenly rings across tho lake and (lads a distant echo, The splash of a muskrat Jars harshly on tenso nerves. Gradually tho light fills tho forest aisles. With cautious step and ready rifle, you seek the slash where yester day you found tho sign. Verily now does a heartbeat seem audible. De spite your utmost care, now nnd again a stick snaps or a clutching brush, suddenly released, springs back nois ily. But what is that beyond tho tan gle of fallen tree tops? A clear eye and a steady hand now or "missed!" Well, and Is not tho chagrin tempered with an unacknowledged satisfaction that yonder beautiful nntlered buck, bounding lightly over fallen trees, Is, after all, not to lose one Impulse of his splendid vigor because of lust of yours? Verily It Is not all of hunting to kill. But, striding campwurd In tho gathering shadows, empty of hnnd save for the rifle, tho benlson of tho great wood falls upon him who Is a fellow pf true sportsmanship, and In his heart h the song of a mountuln brook and In his soul a new delight, because of something in tho mystery of life which in the solitude of the forest has entered therein, and because of a deeper realization of the marvel which men call Instinct, agulnst which his wit and reason has been of no avail. So, though ho bring naught of spoil, ho will answer the hall from tho red circle of the camp-fire, and it will be "Peace."

Now York, Sept. 12,-Call money ad vanced to 20 per cent, shortly before tho closo of today's market, and tho list which had been heavy throughout closed wtlh marked declines. Opening prices wcro lower, though mostly fractional, but tho unsettled tono which characterized tho day's comparatively modcrato trans actions was apparent from tho outset. Missouri Pacific was the chief sufferer in tho early trading, selling oft about 2 points nnd making no recovery. The de cline In tho Grangers and Pacifies was In part duo to reports of frost In tho corn belt. Tho selling of Bnltlmorn and Ohio was accompanied by reports that Insiders had discounted tho extra stock issue. St. Paul received better support soon after the opening, but In tho main stocks which then J)eld their own wero of the so-called pool class. There was no groat pressure against nny particular stock, but tho eurly high rato for call money, 10 per cent. coupleHl with reports that some of the banks wero showing discrimination in tho matter of collateral, added to tho Increasing uneasiness. Louisville nnd Nashville and Rock Island were among the few stocks that reflected firmness nt this juncture, tho latter selling ex-dtvl-dend. Trading received nnother check In the second hour when call money ad vanced some more, but no great amount of long stock seemed to be offered. There was a rally In the Granger group on re ports that the frost had dono lltttlo dam age and nt tho same timo Manhattan, also selling ex-dlvldend, was being ab sorbed In small lots on rumors of closer relations with New York Central. The United States Steel shares were heavy with little or no evidence of support, but the strength of Union Pacific and St. Paul was suggestive of pool support, while tho weakness of Chesapeake and Ohio was attributed to insldo selling. A further reactionary movement set in dur ing tho second hour of the afternoon when money advanced to 15 per cent. Do cllnes at that time embraced practically all the active issues and brought prices to t lehowest level of the day. Maximum declines of 2 per cent, were reglsleJfcd by St. Paul, Missouri Pacific, NorfoB and Western nnd Northwestern with a point decline in Louisville and Nash ville and even greater losses In the spe cialties. Announcement of the 20 per cent, rato in call money was the signal for Qiiother selling movement but partial recoveries was made by St. Paul and Louisville and Nashville. The final deal ings brought some moro liquidation and the closing was heavy and unsettled. Net gains wero the exception and mostly fractional. London traded in about 13,000 shares, mostly on ,the buying side during the decline. Total sales today, 710,800 shares. Tho bond market was less activo today and reactionary in sympathy with the depression in stocks. Total sales, par value, $3,505,000. t'nlted States bonds were all unchanged on the last call.
