beautiful weather and splendid pro-
vram marked the last days races at the
state fair yesterday afternoon. Yester-
day's events were more in the nature of
"extras" and the field of starters was
NOT so large as It would have been other
wise. But Manager Bransford was equal
10 the occasion and furnished program
that took wen with the crowd. The at
tendance was good, but not quite so large
as on one or two previous meets.
The feature of the program was the
victory of Alfonso son OF Altoka, In the
special trt and pace. There were iiyo
starters In this event Alfonso and jim
mic picked as the fayorites. But the
admirers Of the latter were greatly dis
appointed, owing to the contrary actions

animal started off with IA rush and looked
Ike an easy winner Alfonso was I'm the
rear while George NJ and Belva A were
fighting for second, Then 1t was that
the big horse began to move rapidly to
the front. Hal Brown, who was driving

animal out for all he was worth. With
wonderful strides and going with a regu-
lar swinging motion, the horse was soon
even with the others and when he rushed

the lead IL was pretty finish and set
the crowd to cheering loudly. In the Sec

There was a moment OF intense stin

out and walked slowly down toward
the group OF men who were at the end
of the street, opposite the block that
had been the last to burn. As they
drew nearer one Of the men left the
group and. came down toward them.
II was John Gordon, and even at that
distance II was very evident that he
was unusually reused about something.
He was so absorbed In the matter
that was exciting him that when he

accused of manslaughter. was resumed
James Kay was the first witness. I'm
der cross examination he testified that
he had for about a minute before the
accident a good view of the motorman
of the i'll fated trolley ear. The witness
said he was standing just south of the
steam railroad tracks, and when he
first saw the mOtorman the latter ap-
peared to be struggling hard at both
brakes in an effort to stop the car. Wit
ness thought the car was going at a
medium rate Of speed. The car appear
ed to be under control-that is, consid
ering the rate at which it was going.
The next thing the witness saw wa
the trolley car crashing through the
railroad gates; then it came into COLI
sion with the train. He said he could
not be sure whether or not the trolley
car had come to a stop before the COLI
sion occurred.
William r. BOwerman. a high school
pupil who was on the wrecked car, tes-
tilted that the car did not stop before it
broke through the gate. although he
felt the brakes applied. Joseph Shapiro,
another pupil. testified that he was on
the crowded front platform when the
brakes were applied and that he was
pushed or jumped off. Other school
children testified to the same effect.

A PRETTY WEDDING
Miss Ruth De Graw and Mr.. Clarence r.
Suits United in Marriage.

Miss Ruth F. DeGraw, the daughter
of ex-freeholder Frank DeGraw, of
Main street, was united in marriage
to Mr.. Clarence R. Stults, also AZ this
borough, by Rev. H. M. P. Peaee at
Christ church 3 o'clock yesterday
afternoon.
Tie bride was handsomely gowned
in white silk, entraine and trimmed
heavily with exquisite lace. She wore
a veil and carried a shower bouquet
of daisies and smilax. The maid OF
honor, the BRIDES sister, also carried
a shower bouquet of daisies.
The bride entered the church on her
fathers arm and he gave her to the
groom. The church was crowded.
There was a reception at the BRIDES
house for the immediate relatives of
the happy pair, after which they left
town on the 5.O3 train for a wedding
trip.
AS the carriage rolled along Broad
way to the Central depot, quite a dis
play of streamers of white rags and a
mans tan colored old slipper was seen
on the back of it. The couple waited
a while for the train, but alighted
from the carriage a little too soon
after all, for the groom was compelled
to shield the bride from a shower OF
rice nv raising an umbrella over her
head. 1t was quite useless for the
merry crowd of friends rushed around
in front of them and fairly deluged
them with the snowy grain.
