From the Boston Herald,
i never see a duck hawk but that
my thoughts go back to the times when
this was the most valued bird in the
wOrld-the favorite of kings-a gift for
an emperor And well it deserved the
high place which it held, for of the
many birds used in the ancient sport
of falconry, the duck hawk or peregrine
falcon was the swiftest, the most saw
age and the most courageous of them
all The sport is now practically OBJ
solete, but for thousands of years 1t
was one of the principal amusements
of the better classes throughout Eu-
rope and Asia.
Nowhere did 1t take deeper root than
In England, where for centuries it was
conducted on grand scale and at
enormous expense. Some of the no.
bility kept falcons as race horses are
kept today, regardless of cost. pay
ing fabulous prices for celebrated birds,
and maintaining large staffs of skilled
falconers. Men carried falcons upon
their gloyed wrists in those days as

At a straw-ride, convention and dance
of the First legislative district Demo-
Gratis, last night, Timothy d. Hayes. of
North Scranton was again placed in the
field for representative. Mr.. Hayes was
unopposed.
The convention was held in Null
herin's hall, on Keyser avenue, in the
isolated locality, commonly known as
the High Works. Being two miles,
more or less, from the nearest street
car line, the delegates from the Hyde
Park and Bellevue end of the district
went thither on a straw ride, arranged
by the district chairman, John NJ
Casey. The wagon left Fleming &
Costcllo's cafe at 1.30 and had aboard
besides the delegates, District Secretary
John Il. Gaffney, Senatorial Candidate
F. r. Calpin, j. r. Hammes, and the
newspaper delegation.
Arrived at the hall, the straw ride
delegation was greeted with enthusiasts
tic cheers from the N, Scranton
delegates and nearly all the residents
of the community-men, women and
children-who were bent on Jointly and
with all that was in them. making
memorable the occasion of the first
political convention the locality had
ever known.
From S.45 until 1880 the men folks
occupied the hall with the convention
doings. AS soon as the convention was
ended the ladies came in with a piano
player, and, until an early morning
hour. the younger folks of the con-
vention and the community, gave over
thoughts Of poor old Quay and the like

delights of a devOtee of terpsichore.
