Pilot Wilkes Wins First Race In
Four Heats.
There were but few starters in the
two races run off yesterday at the
Stark county fair, it being the closing
day The first race had but four
starters, one of which was distanced
in the second heat, while five horses
scored in the second event. Nearly
5000 people attended the fair and at
least two thousand saw the days
racing.
Pilot Wilkes, owned and driven by
j. Henderson or Pittsburg, took three
straight heats in the 2:25 pace after
Margery F, owned and driven by Ed.
Failor of Sparta, O., had captured the
initial heat. 1t was by some unfore-
seen accident that the Sparta horse
succeeded in nosing out Pilot Wilkes,
these horses being practically the only
live ones in the race Her showing
after the first heat was rather poor,
although having finished first in one
heat, she took down second money.
The second and third heats of the
first event were easy for Pilot Wilkes,
but in the final one he had to step
lively to beat out Patone, who showed
good form by coming up and almost
beating out the favorite. Midnight,
owned by B. D .Ingrahm of Canton,
was distanced in the second heat,
which gave third money to Patone.
Florence Nightingale was an easy
winner in the 2:15 pace, although she
had such horses as Tillie H and Shar-
on Boy to beat. Sharon Boy has
shown great form this year, winning
a number of races. He took down
several purses at the two Canton
meetings with Allie Walters as driv-
er. The reliable Allie was absent
yesterday, however, and Sharon Boy
seemed to feel it keenly for he was
never able to finish better than
fourth, twice bringing up the rear.
Tillie H, driven by Garry Walters,
Allies brother, pressed Florence
close several times DUR
ing the 2:15 pace, but was unable to
overhaul her, finishing second in ev-
cry heat. Ruth G. a Cleveland horse, |
took third money and Sir o, an Ak
ron horse won fourth money, Sharon
Boy being the only one that was left
in the cold.
The judges at yesterdays meet |
were George E. Mcdonald of Minerva,
John Graham of Pittsburg and AL Bo-
der of Akron, while James Ackelson
Of Alliance was starter. The timers
were ]. S. Goldy of Salem and o. Ev-
ans of Canton.

streets's tomorrow will say: Spring
trade in dry goods, clothing. shoes and
millinery continues to show expansion
despite the presence Of winter condi-
tons. Interruption from this source
in fact has been less than anticipated
and shipments Of goods on old orders

tail trade has beer appreciably helpeo

The effect Of this carry over on next
fall and winter demands remains to
be seen. Other developments have

THE CAsTELLANE DIVORCE SUIT.
There is no Longer Any Doubt That
Anna Gould is to be Separated From
Count Boni

Paris, February 16.-An urgent
writ was served upon Count Boni de
Castellane, making him defendant in
the separation proceedings Of his wife,
formerly Anna Gould. This decisive
step was taken after renewed efforts
to effect a reconciliation had proved
fruitless. The Count accepted service
of the writ, even calling UP the Coun-
ess's lawyers to facilitate fixing up a
place whore the writ could be deliver
ed. The bill Of complaint was filed at
the same time 1t follows closely the
Countess's prima facie showing when
she first asked the courts permission
to take action against her husband. 1T
mentions no names, but particularizes
certain incidents in which the Count IS
alleged to have participated, and it
asks for decree for what the French
law terms separation Of body and
property" meaning complete martial
separation without a dissolution Of the
bonds of matrimony. The Court holds
the bill complaint in the strictest Sc
crecy, but the FOREGOING are the es-
sential features Of its contents. It
can be stated with absolute positiveness
now that the Countess has formal
ly inaugurated her action that it is
her intention to secure a decree at the
earliest date possible. The Count will
not contest the decree.

IS PLEASED
WITH THE WORK DONE
Roosevelt Gives Expression to
His Views on Accomplish
ments of Congress.

WASHINGTON, June 30.-President
Roosevelt tonight on the adjournment
of Congress, dictated a statement con-
corning the work accomplished during
the session. He says that the present
Congress has done more along the lines
of the constructive slatesmanship than
has been accomplished at any session
with which he is familiar. He saws
that men of genuine patriotism have n
right to feel "a profound satisfaction
In the entire course Of this Congress"
The text of the Presidents statement
follows:
Much Work for Good.
In the session that has Just closed
the Congress has done more substantial
work for good than any Congress at
any session since he became familiar
with public affairs. The legislation has
been along the line OF real constructive
craftsmanship of the most practical
and efficient type, and bills have been
enacted which have been of an import
ancc SO great that IL is fair TO say tnat
the enactment OF any one of them
would have made the session memor-
able, such, for instance, as the railroad
rate bill, the meat inspection measure
the pure food bill, the bill for free al
bill. Panama canal legislation. the Joint
statehood bill and the naturalization
bill.
Recognizes the Evil
II certainly have no disposition to
blink at what there is OF evil In our
social, industrial or political life of to-
day but II seems TO me that the men
OF genuine patriotism who genuinely
wish well to their country have the
right 10 feel profound satisfaction In
the entire course of this Congress,
would not be afraid TO compare its rec
ord with that Of any previous Congress
In our history, not alone for the wis
dom. but for the dislnterested high
mindedness which has controlled its
action.
1T is noteworthy that not single
measure which the closest scrutiny
would warrant us in calling of doubtful
propriety has been enacted. and on the
other hand no influence OF any kind
has availed 10 prevent the enactment
Of the laws most vitality necessary to
the nation at this time"
