all of which was to go to the leading
horse. Scott's Best won out, with
Meredith Jones' Mabel B. second, and
William Driscolls Silver Bay, third.
SCOTS horse won three heats out Of

CROWDED EXCURSIONS.

Thirteen carloads of eXcursionists
went to Binghamton, over the Lacka-
wanna, with the Young Mems Institute
of West Scranton. They left at $50 a.
m, and returned at 10 o'clock p. III.
About one hundred Scrantonians joined
the Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern excursion to Buffalo, which passed
through here at noon. An excursion
from Buffalo was billed to come over
the Lackawanna to this city to give
opportunity to Lackawanna Steel COM
pany employees who formerly lived here,
to revisit their old home. Very few,
however came. The heat of the day
made Lake Erie more inviting, prob
ably, than 260 mile railroad ride.
The Delaware and Hudson company
carried big crowds from along its line
TO Lake Lodore. Between 500 and 600
persons went from this city alone on
the three trains which left at 9.15 a. M,
1913 a. m. and LIZ p. IN.
All told there We're 1000 persons at
Lake Lodore' and very pleasant day
was spent without an unpleasant incl
dent. The $50 in gold CHANGED off by

AT NAY AUG PARK.

According to the estimates of the
Scranton Railway company and Nay
Aug park officials fully 1900 We're at
the park at one time or another yes
terday. In the morning the crowd was
comparatively small, but at noon time
the cars began to fill to overfowing,
and from that time until late in the af-
ternoon each car to the park was load
ed to the steps.
Superintendent Patterson, of the
trolley company, who was on duty all
day at the entrance to the park figured
that 5000 persons had come On the cars
and that fully half as many more
walked. Park Superintendent Phillips
agreed with these estimates.
Many family parties We're among the
throng and they formed interesting
groups as they gathered about the tab
les enjoying lunches brought from home
and ice cream and other dellcacies Sc
cured from the booths. The day passed
off without the slightest accident or
unpleasant occurrence Of any kind.

NOT EXCITED
Over Reports to Invoke Aid of the
State Committee.

Knoxville, August11.- The Nash
vile dispatch that was printed in a
Memphis paper, stating that the
State Democratic Campaign Com
mittee would take concerted action
with the National Committee to
try and defeat Congressman Henry
Il. Gibson of the Second Congress
s1onal District, has caused no wor-
| ry i'll the mind of the Second Dis
trict Congressman. He was shown
the dispatch wherein it is stated
that State Chairman Frank M.
Thompson will go to Washington
about August II or y, and ask Ma
tional Chairman Griggs to assist in
the overthrow of Gibson, and this
is what he said about the report:
This is the same old story that
is often told on Republican Con-
gressmen. Judge L. C. Houk had
it to contend with, and, as he once
said to me about such a report,
will say of this one: When a Re
publican majority of 10000 can be
turned down in the mountains of
East Tennessee by the work of the
National Democratic Committee,
the Republican party will be out of
business.
1t is conceded that the overthrow
of Gibson will be hard work for any
man. Hon. Harvey H. Hannah is
already candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination without opposi-
ton and will be given the race. He
is strong with the people and will
meet Gibson on the stump. Mean
while Judge Gibson has opened
headquarters in this city and begun
the work of his campaign, which
has caused the impression that he
does not intend to retire at the end
of his next term.

A New Eenterprise.

Mr.. K. l.. Garner, of Paris, was
in the city the first of the week and
completed the organization OF the
Ventilated Dough Board and Barrel
Cover Co., of which Mr.. II. r.
Stubs of this city, was chosen
president. Mr.. Garner was elected
secretary and treasurer. Tempo
rary arrangements have been per-
fected with the Reaves planning Mill
Co. for the manufacture of the
boards and it is proposed to put in
a plant here in the near future.
The article was invented and
patented by Mr.. Garner in 1895;
is a ventilated biscuit board and
barrel cover combined is pro-
nounced by all who have used or
examined it to be a household me-
cessity.
So sure OF the success of his in
vent1on was Mr.. Garner that he re-
signed his position of chief train
dispatcher of the Memphis line of
the L. & N. r. R.--a place he had
held for ten years-a few days ago
to superintend the sale and
manufacture of the goods.
He will in a few days remove his
excellent family to this city and re-
side here in the future. He is a
hne business man, a perfect gentle
man, and will make a splendid cit1-
zen. The Commercial gladly well
comes these good people and hopes
the business venture of the firm
will be entirely successful.
