Baseball Games on Jefferson Field.

Those who did not attend the Bel

FIURTH-OF-JULY QUIETLY
CELEBRATED IN SMYRNA
INTEREST FOUND IN THE RACES AT BEL
MONT DRIVING PARK NEAR TOWN.
Two Games of Baseball Were Played In the
Afternoon, One Camden VS.. Smyrna, the
Other Townsend VS.. Smyrna.

Fourth of July in Smyrna passed off
quietly with little or no celebration
outside of two baseball games and the
races at Belmont Driving Park. The
torrid hot spell had dampened the
ardor of the enthusiasts and many
who take advantage of the Fourth for
pleasure-going, found more comfort in
the quiet retreats of their homes. Some
however, took in the demonstration at
Dover, and found the exercises pleas
ant. Throughout the day the small
boy with his fire crackers was more or
less in evidence. The display of fire.
works in the evening was but little In
dulged in, and of these the most elab-
crate was that in front of the residence
of Mr.. A. E. Jardine on Mt. Vernon
street.

Races at Belmont Driving Park.

The amusements of the day were
divided between the races at the Bel
mont Driving Park and the baseball
games on Jefferson's Field, East street,
both coming off at the same time in the
afternoon. The former was of interest
to large number of our turfmen, not
only in this town but Dover, Middle
town, Sudlersville, Townsend, Blanco,
Kennedyville, Mlllington, Kenton and
Marydel. The races were under the
management of F. S. johnson and were
enjoyed by two or three hundred spec
tators, the grandstand being filled to
say nothing of the number of private
teams that occupied space along the
track. Manager Johnson conducted
affairs well, and it can be said to his
credit that every race he was in, his
horse came out a winner. John F.
Goldsborough was starter, and the fol-
lowing is the summary of the races:

MORE TROUBLE AT PITTsToN.
Mayor Corcoran Again Places the
Gag Upon Rev. Dillonis.

Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Plttston, Jan. 13-Vincent r. Dill
lonis. the Lithuanian ex-priest, who
already has several suits against
Mayor Corcoran for refusing to allow
him to speak in Pittston, made an
other attempt to address an audience
in this city tonight. and was prevented
by the police.
Dillonis hired Armory hall and on
Friday visited Mayor Corcoran and re,
quested information as to whether he
would again be interfered with, should
he attempt to lecture in Pittston. Mr..
Corcoran would give no answer at the
time,stating that he must first con-
suit his attorney. Dillonis then ad-
vertised the meeting, designating Z
o'clock p. m. as the hour when the
lecture would begin.
At the appointed time this evening,
quite a crowd gathered at the Armory,
but Chief LOTUS and his gallant blues
were on hand in advance of the au-
dience and refused to let anyone enter
the hall
Tickets is no good at dis show"
said one of the "cops" as the crowd
surged up to the entrance. DE nago
can't speak here tonight. We has our
orders. Get back, youse fellows!"
By these gentle methods of persua- :
sion. the crowd was escorted "A block
away from the Armorv. so there was
no crush when Rev. Dillonis finally ap-
peared. He walked up to the hall
door and was also informed that his
rent receipt was no good. unless he
would agree to conduct Quaker meet
ing. Dillonis retreated good-humored-
ly, and the crowd on the streets grad
ually dispers q, when it became evil
dent that there would be no further
excitement.
About two months ago, nillonis at

that the talk might arouse the Llth-
uanlans to deeds of violence. Legal
