Favorable Report ON the OIeomargarins
RtlI,

A favorable report on the Grout oleo-
margarine bill was filed yesterday by the
majority of the House committee on agTi'
culture. The minority filed an adverse re-
port. The majority holds that there is
ample cause for alarm at the growth of the
illegal oleomargarine industry, and says
that the industry will doubtless continue il
the Grout bill is passed, "the only differ
enee being that the counterfeit article,
eolored in imitation of butter, will no
longer be accessible to hotel keepers, res
taurant keepers and boarding house pro-
ducement for them to deceive their guests.

The wallace shows at Schenectady.
From the Schenectady, N. Y, Ga8stte, May 29.l
To the great credit of the Wallace peo-
pie it may be truthfully said that so far as
the performances were concerned the circus
fully came up to the standard of excellence
claimed for it by the advertising agents.
In fact, there were many wonderful features
that were not mentioned at all on the bill
boards, and the crowd was surprised with
any number of new and original varieties
of entertainment. The performances NAV
be warmly commended, too, for the entire
absence of vulgarity in costumes or acting.
1t was bright, but clean, show from be-
ginning to end, and one which delighted
people of all ages and of both sexes.
There were an unusually large number
of trained animals. The trained pigs were
especially novel and amusing. But per-
haps the most popular demonstration of
brute intelligence was given in an exciting
race in which half a dozen or more Of
Shetland ponies scurried pell nell around
the big outer ring, each dashed and spurred
to his utmost speed by a diminutive
monkey rider. The monkeys seemed to
enter with heart and soul-if monkeys
have souls-into the excitement of the
contest, and, as they piled the whips, they
looked furtively over their shoulders to see
how far they had distanced competitors.

POLO OUTLOOK.

According to the reports in the Boston
newspapers Saturday regarding the polo
situation for the coming winter season, it
is evident that the circuit in Massachu-
setts has not been completed as yet.
There is considerable discussion on the
part OF. people-who are willing to go into
polo and this may result In two leagues
being formed in Massachusetts,. This
may be determined within few days.
The South Eastern New England league
met Friday evening and adjourned to
Wednesday night while 1t is stated that a
meeting Of the proposed rival league will
come of in Boston on Monday night. 3
These meetings may have a bearing on
the formation of a Maine league. The
story sent out from Bath a few days ago
regarding the organization of league
in this state doubtless emanates from
Murtaugh and McGilvray, two we'll
known players OF that city. The POSSIBLE
ity of such an organization may be affect
ed by the condition of affairs in Massa-
chusetts. IT two leagues should be
laun ched in that State it would be use
less to undertake Maine league under
any OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES OQ bn5 ObQ6f manu-
with asIeague Of i've or seven clubs in
Massachusetts, without any rival league,
probably a Maine league could be organ
lied. Then a sufficient number OF players
Of note might be available.
On Saturday Elmer Woodbury., whose
name has been mentioned as a hacker of
a team in this city, was seen in regard to
the subject. He said that he knew moth
Ing at all about these stories. Manager
Walter W. Burnhamgwas also seen. He
too stated that he knew nothing about
the talk OF organizing polo league in
this State. 81 have not had any nego-
tiations to that end with anybody " said
Mr.. sBurnham. "Polo might be made a
success in this State If the conditions
were such as to enable the clubs to get the
desirable players at moderate prices. A
great many people would like to see the
game revived judging by the number
that have asked me about the chances.

TROOPS 10 LEAVE.

Shenandoah, Pa, September 29.-The
only incident of any Importance here to-
day was the conference between Gen.
Goblin, Sheriff Toole and representatives
of mine operators, relative to the with
drawal of the troops. The meeting was
held at the solicitation of Gen. Goblin
who said he did not believe the presence
of the troops necessary, since there Is
absolutely no indication of violence on
the strikers part; with the additional
fact that this district is completely tied
up. The general said tonight that he
had decided to send one regiment away
on Monday.
The mine workers in this section re-
ceived their semi-monthly pay today and
it is estimated that the leading company
paid out $50, 600 to the men employed at
its collieries in and about this Dor ugh.
The only change in the situation around
MohanOy City today was the Withdraw
al of the coal and iron police deputies
who had been guarding the coIIieries
since last Monday.

LUCKY ROY WON
The Great Matched Race with Temple
Hal

Lucky Roy carried off the laurels at the
Gorham track Saturday, but the race was
something that viii be talked OF by South
Portland tiresides during the lifetime Of
the present generation, and no doubt the
tale of how Temple Hal was beaten will
be handed down from father to son so
long as the blood of true sportsmen
flows in the veins of the good folks of
PoorduckVille and SO long as love for
the nobIest OF animals abldes 1t was
magnificent contest, one to stir the
blood of the most sluggish to bring forth
cheers from the lips of the most In
different. It was Lucky Boy's race,
but not until the son OF Roy Wilkes
had exertsd all the strength and swift
ness of hisamagniticent frame for five trials
around the race track at Gorham was he
permitted to bear away the crown.
Once Temple Hal proved The victor,
again the pair speeded under the.wire not
a hairs breadth apart, third time Roy
carried oil the honors by not more than
a half; heads length, and only in the
fourth and fifth trials was he able to
shake off his gamey rival at all decisive
ly.
All the Commercial street fish houses
closed their doors at noon and in nearly
every home In South Portland the house
wives were obliged to keep their baked
beans waiting long after the accustomed
hour until the fathers and sons should
return from the pilgrimage to Gorham.
But the interest was not confined to
the Cape and Commercial street. sPOrt-
land. Gorham and Westbrook each sent
big delegations to the race course and
even from far-away Gloucester came a
party to witness this race of all races.
There were fully 100 carriages on the
grounds besides what the train carried
and the crowd numbered all told nearly
900
..It was some time after the train arrived
before the horses were called up. The
people in the meantime permitted them
selves to be amused by couple of
sweat boards and lost their quarters and
halves with great regularity and the true
Indifference of sportsmen. At last the
bell In the judges tower jingled and the
sweat board folks had to take a back
seat. The officials OF the race were:
Judges, Fred D Lane of Portland, starter;
Charles Aver of Portland, Fred Murch
of Westbrook. Edgar L. Jordan of Cape
Elizabeth; timers, AIonzo Libby of Vest
brook, f. A. Bibber, Portland; secretary,
G. II. Leighton, Westbrook.

The two horses were sent off the first

feet ahead. Lucky Roy chung close to

of the back stretch when the Tretethen
