Wallsville. Pa, Sept. 19.-Two good
races were witnessed by an audience OF
about 5000 persons here today, the
fourth and last day of the Maitland
fair.
The first race was won by Thomas
W., owned by NJ. NJ. Sherwood, Of
Scranton, in three straight heats, with
Maxey, owned by f. 7. Lott, of Mont
rose, second. The fastest mile was
2.23h.
The second race went to Miss Jennie
the property of William Meters, of
Wilkes Barre. also in three straight
heats. with l.. A. Patterson's Wilkes
Medium, of Carbondale, second. Fast
est mile, 2.19ls.
The management and falrgoers were
disappointed at the non-arrival Of the
aeronaut. she having been delayed en-
route. This was the only feature ad-
vertised that did not take place.
The judges who had to select the best
specimens of the many articles entered
for premiums got through their tasks
this morning. 1t required considerable
more time this. year than usual to get
through with this feature of the fair,
the entries being so much greater in
number. There were SO many exhibit
ors that space will not permit the
printing Of the names of the prize win
ners.
George r. Stevenson, of Waverly, has
a large booth fitted up with bearskins.
deerskins, hides and pelts Of many
kinds, stag and elk horns, Indian and
Mexican relics and other interesting
souvenirs Of his visits to the far West
and Southwest. One of the articles
that attracts attention is pair of
heads of black-tail deer, with antlers
locked together. These were found in
the Sacramento mountains in New
Mexico. These two deers had been en-
gagged in combat, their horns had be-
come locked and they had died in that
position.
WARREN's SWORD.
Another interesting relic in the fair
is the sword carried by General War
rem in the Revolutionary war and an
oil painting Of the eighteenth century,
each of which is an heirloom handed
down In the Warren family of this Sec
tion.

ness In a canvas speakeasy about a
