event and arrangements are just pass
ing out of their primary shape The
presentation of a night pageant in q
way satisfactory to the public. demands
the expenditure of a small fortune, and
the presentation of such at Saratoga,
where the people are hypercritical,
means even greater expense.
If Saratoga during the summer sea-
son is great, it will be Saratoga the
Great from September 1st to 4th. The
village will truely be transformed into
a place of beauty and grandeur.
No set of floats ever cost more than
those which will be in this parade at
Saratoga. They were purchased from
the managers of the last New Orleans
Mardi Gras. and comprise the most
magnificent display ever seen in that
city of gorgeous shows. The Yelled
Prophets parade Of st. Louis, which
has become famous, does not come
anywhere near being as pretty or as
attractive as the PrOteus aggregation
of floats. Those who saw them at New
Orleans this spring. pronounced them
to be the finest ever displayed in this
country. They will be shown at Sara
toga on the night of September 4, with
hundreds of blazing lights, just as they
were shown at New Orleans, when they
won the praise Of press, public and
critics. ~

"BILLY" CRAIa's LITTLE JOKE.
Fred G. Hand Was the Victim
of It.
'Billy" craig is at 1t again.

BILLY" Craig is at it again.
The city has some few practical
jokers, but none more confirmed or re-
sourceful than the aforesaid William.
He conceves and executes a joke at the
proverbial drop of a hat" and in the
choice of victims is as indiscriminate
as a tax collector.
Fred c. Hand is his latest victim.
Fred is summering at Elmhurst.
BILLY" with friend, who is also
somewhat of a joker, were driving out
Elmhurst way the other day and
chanced to pass the Hand cottage.
Lets put up rig on Fred" sug-
gested Craig.
"All right; what'll 1t be?" said his
companion.
Billy scratched his gilt-crowned head
a moment, and then with I've got it;
come on" headed for the Hand home,
followed by his friend.
Entering they found Mr.. Hand at
home and delighted to see them. After
the usual formalities, Craig proceeded
to tell, as only the innocent-looking
Craig can tell, that he and his friend
were committee from a coterie of ad-
miring friends, who had met informally
the day before and decided to attest,
with some little substantial token, their
appreciation of Mr.. Hands efforts in
giving the people of Scranton a series
of high-cass musical attractions, which,
but for these efforts, the city would
never get.
Concluding his predatory remarks,
Craig drew from his pocket his own
new gold watch and handed it to the
surprised and delighted' Hand.
The circumstances scarcely warranted
formalities, but Mr.. Hand could not re-
frain from what he felt was an ap-
propriate response in words, and then
suting actions to these words, made
Craig and his fellow w-conspirator par
take of something of everything that
the house afforded in the way of hospi-
tality. The cigars he offered met with
so much commendation from Craig that
Hand made him take a box of them
along with him.
Towards the close of the hour which
the committee" enjoyed on the Hand
veranda, Craig. with a sudden self-ac-
cusing slap on his knee, began to apollo
gize for not having had the watch suit
ably engraved. Ought to be something
telling about the occasion of the pres
entation and who gave it and that sort
of thing" averred Craig, and so angry
was he with himself for not having
attended to it, that he insisted on
taking the watch and having the en-
craving done that very night, even if
he had to wake some jeweler out Of
bed to do it.
Craig took the watch, with all man
ner OF apologies for his thoughtless-
ness, and drove away, slashing the
horse as If his anger with himself was
something positively uncomfortable.
1t is needless to say that Mr.. Hand
is still waiting for the watch.

There was only one change among
the thirtythree leaders in The Tri-
bune's Educational Contest yesterday.
Walter Hallstead, of Scranton, scored
four points and succeeded in winning
back his old position, twenty-second
place, which he held at the beginning
of the month. Four other contestants
made returns as follows: Frank B. Nc
Creary, of Hallstead, points; Miss
Beatrice Harpur, of Thompson, 3;
Charles w. Dorsey, of Scranton, 2, and
a. l.. Clark, of Green Grove, 2. Miss
Harpur is now tied with Homer Kresge
for fifteenth place, making four ties
among the leaders. Mr.. Clark is a new
beginner with not yet sufficient points
to appear in the table, but the two he
scored yesterday raised him four places.
Among the ten leaders for the special
August prizes there was only one
change, Mr.. McCreary passing Charles
Burns and taking seventh place. Lower

about, the most notable advance being

IMPORTANT ARREST.
Police Take Into Custody James
slattery, Wanted at Wilkes-Barre
and Green Island.

James Slattery, late of Wilkes Barre
near Troy. was arrested by Superin-
tendent of Police Iona b. Day and De-
tective Robert Deter yesterday after
noon, on the charge of attempting to
defraud his boarding mistress in
Wilkes Barre.
From letters found in his pockets,
Superintendent Day has come to the
conclusion that the capture is an i'm
portant one, as there are various indi-
cations that Slattery is wanted at
Green Island for more serious offenses
than attempting to take French leave
from his boarding house.
Superintendent Day stated last night
that Slatterys appearance was very
suspicious, and that he would be held
here until reply was received from
the Green Isleand police officials, who
have been notified of the arrest.
Slattery has been working in Wilkes
Barre as a bridge builder, and on re-
ceiving his pay yesterday afternoon,
promptly bought a ticket to Albany. N.
Y, boarded a Delaware and Hudson
train and shook Wilkes-Barre dust
from his brogans. He owed board
bill of $40, and all that the woman of
the house had to show for it We're some
rather threadbare clothes which Slat-
terry left behind him.
The police We're notified, and Chief
Jones 'phoned Superintendent Day. The
latter and Detective Deter arrived at
the station in time to meet the train,
recognize Slattery from the Wilkes
Barre description, arrest and lodge him
in the central station. He was still in
his working clothes when arrested. A
ticket to Albany, S21.67 and number of
letters were found upon him.

She Was Embarrassed.

A few days ago a society not many
miles from Scranton ran an excursion
tosone of our pretty lakes, There We're
a great many mileage books presented
for fare They We're, of course, turned
down and regular excursion ticket
demanded. Nearly all who were caught
in this predcament were able to pur-
chase their excursion tickets. In one
case, however. that of lady with three
children, the circumstances were eX-
ceedingly embarrassing. She had lg-
ured on getting to the lake and back on
her mileage and was not prepared to
put the cash into four tickets. Friends
nearby came to her assistance, but the
situation, to say the least, was very
annoying. Moral: Do not try to go to
Lake Ariel with the Jr. o. U. A. NJ. on
Saturday. August 16, with mileage
book. as they will not be accepted on
the S45 a. m. or 1885 p. m. trains. ~
