THE RACES.
Very Interesting speed Contests on the
First Day OF the Big Fair.

Very Interesting speed Contesr y" 'o
First Day of the Big Fair
There was the average first day
crowd in the grand stand and along the
quarter stretch throughout the after
noon. There was not so much activity
in the betting ring as there will be To-
day and tomorrow, but the DOCK
makers were kept fairly busy. The
track was in excellent shape, but
little shower, followed by warm sun
shine, would improve it considerably.
The racing was fair. There was one
disappointment on the card for the al
ternoon. Several horses were drawn
in the 2:4O trot, the second race, and
as there was not a sufficient number
remaining, the race was cancelled.
Star Onward, after taking two
heats in the 2:2S pace, and working
gamely on the other, was compelled to
accept SECOND place. Christobal won
the 2:2S pace without much difficulty.
The fair management made wise
choice in the selection of the hippo
drome race feature, judging by the in
terest created on the first day. The
first performance was the Roman
standing race, in which the competi
tors were man and a woman rider
once around, the woman winning.
The greyhound race, boy jockeys, was
lively and interesting. The Roman
chariot race, four horses, male and fe-
male drivers, was very exciting, and
had the audience worked up to a high
pitch OF interest.
There was no complaint about the
race officials, published yesterday, and
they appeared to give the greatest sat
isfaction.
The starter early gave evidence that
he will not tolerate useless jockeying,
and patrons may rest assured that the
races will take place promptly through
out the week.
THE 2:2S PACE.
very interesting. Star Onward was the
favorite after the first heat, and after
winning two successive heats was I'M
able TO do better than second place,
Chritabol winning the last three heats
with comparative ease. Considerable
money changed hands at the book
makers stalls.
The first heat was won by S. H. R.,
but the pace was not fast, and Star
Onward won the second heat without
much effort. Christabol going nicely,
and showing a nice burst of speed at
led for the first half, and then walked
away from the field, which was strung
out in procession. Black Queen be-
haved badly. but by a magnificent
squirt wrested second place from 9Th.
r. within j few feet of the wire.
The fourth heat was race between
Christabol and Onward, with the 9TH
er horses fighting for second place.
Christabol took the heat by steady go
ing, and was never in danger. Black
Queen led the field at the lower turn
in the fifth heat, but Christabol's driv-
er took him right past the leaaar
without using the whip, and led to the
finish. although Queen contested every
foot Of the ground. Christabol had no

THE 2:1S PACE.
The hest time in this race was not
as fast as was. anticipated. Birdie
Nickerson took three successive heats,
without being pushed hard in any.
They were stretched out in procession
going up the back stretch in the first
heat. and at the last turn Gladys led
Birdie by three lengths, which was
slightly decreased at the wire. Birdie
took the second heat, but was compelled
to go faster than in the first. 1t was
the fastest heat Of the race.
In the third heat Birdie was never
headed. G. W. d. pushed her on the
first quarter and then dropped back,
while the field was strung out for
hundred yards. On the third quarter
Nichol spurted nicely, and went ahead
Of G. w. D., finishing second, four
lengths behind Birdie. The final heat
was also walkover for Birdie.

THE STATE ISSUES.
A Good Man to Administer the Office of
State Treasurer.

A Good Man to Administer the Office of
State Treasurer.
Republicans are not afraid to take
up the state issues or to discuss the
necessity for Governor Stones action
in cutting down the most liberal item
in the budget so as to make expendi-
lures in income balance each other" 3"
says the Wilkesbarre Times. I'VE have
already been too liberal at the expense
of the state treasury, and if the action
of the governor will draw attention to
this subject he will have performed
a public service. Money gotten by in
direct taxation is apt to be lavishly
spent, and we know something of this
lavish expenditure by many of the
school boards and townships in our
own county.
"Nor are we afraid to discuss the
management of the treasurer's office.
Under the new laws there Is no pos
sibility of wrong doing, and the method
of depository, together with the pay
ment of interest to be turned into the
treasury, makes everything so plain
that only a reputable business man
is required for the position of GUS
todian. We have such a man in Lieu
tenant Colonel Barnett, the Republican
candidate, who besides possessing all
qualifications named is all right on the
protective system an advocate of
sound money and a supporter of the
Mckinley administration. This is the
man for the times, and the people of
Pennsylvania will undoubtedly say so
on the 7th of November"

NO PROMISE OF INDEPENDENCE
In Our Ofncials' Correspondence with
the FiIininn Iendera.

In Our OfIiciRls' Correspondence with
the Filipino Leaders.
Manila, Oct. 19-The consuls in
Manila have received from Tarlac,
where it is believed Aguinaldo re-
mains, a book containing the corre-
spondence between him and the Ameri-
can commanders and consuls, in
which, as he contended in his recent
appeal for recognition, the Filipinos
find the basis for their assertion that
the American government recognized
their sovereignty and promised them
independence.
The book is addressed to the mem
bers of the United States congress and
contains a long argument by Senior
Buencamino, of the so-called cabinet
of Aguinaldo, and alleged letters writ
ten by Rousevello Wildman, United
States consul at Hong Kong, to
Aguinaldo, in June and July of last
year. 1t has made a sensation among
the Spaniards here. The whole corre-
spOndence, however, contains no prom
ises Of independence.
Senior Buencamino lays stress upon
letters from Admiral Dewey and Gen
eral Anderson requesting passes for
American officers and others to visit
Filipino territory, and upon letter
from General Anderson asking you
and your people to cooperate with us
in military operations against the
Spaniards."
A body of 25 Filiplnos attacked a
railroad patrol of eight men, members
of the Seventeenth regiment, at Gui-
guinto, north of Bulacan, wounding
two. The Americans reinforced the
patrol and drove off the enemy, cap
turing a quantity of ammunition.
