the early Erie train from these places
can make connections with the 81
special leaving Honesdale for the

j. HI. SMITH PURCHASES BETZ

A deal was consummated on
Tuesday, July 1st, when ]. H. Smith,
the down town shoe dealer, purchas-
ed the large three-story brick build

25x65 feet, three stories high and

move his family from Ridge street to
the second floor of the building. He
will rent the third floor and next
spring will remove his large and eX-
tensive shoe stock from the Dittrich
building, his present location, to his
newly purchased store.
Owing to the rapid increase of his
business, Mr.. Smith was compelled to
seek larger quarters, which resulted
in acquiring the Betz building. Mr..
Smith has been a shoe dealer in
Honesdale for Is years. By straight
dealing he won the confidence of the
public and now enjoys a large pa
tronage. In 1898 Mr.. Smith embark
ed in the shoe business in the Clark
building at the corner of Main and
Fifth streets. He remained there
for one year and then removed his
stock to the Coyne Hotel, where he
stayed for ten years. At the expira-
ton of that time he again changed
his location, moving for the second
time into the Dittrich store, where
he has remained four years.
Mr.. Betz, by special arrangement
with Mr. Smith will remain in the
store until March Is. Agreement
has been made with the new pur-
chaser whereby he will take the en-
tire stock of trunks, bags, dress suit
cases and other leather articles eX-
cept the harness department. Mr..
Betz has been in business in Homes
dale for "a years in the same build
ing, which is something very few
other merchants can say. He is un-
decided as to what he will do after
closing out his business next spring.

come the fifth estate The daily at

Final details were--completed last
night by the Portola athletic commit
tee for the big relay race from sac
ramento to San Francisco, which is
to open the athletic features of the

of the Portola executive committee
the time of the finish of the race has
been altered to allow the first runner
to reach Union square about 8 o'clock
p. m. instead of 10 in the morning. as
originally planned.
In order to do this the time of the
start of the race has been altered
from until IL on the night of Octo-
Der 81. The race will use up teams
of about ESQ men from the high
schools and a similar number from
the Y. NJ. C. "A. organizations and will
take about 16 hours to run off.
Special pilot cars will go ahead of
the runners with strong searchlights
and give the men every opportunity to
get over the ground at their best
speed during the darkness. A Red
Cross car with doctors and nurses
will follow the runners from the min
ute the start is made until the last
man gets to Union square.
The race is something Of a Sensa-
tional novelty and has never before
been attempted in any part OF the
been held for longer distances pass
ing a message along. but the Portola
race is genuine competition, and
besides running provision has to be
made for swimmers to carry the gov
ernor's message across the bay. The
land and water feature is something
that is a novelty and is being closely
followed by enthusiasts. AL Couey
of the Olympic club is the originator
of the Idea and has brought all de-
tails to a successful issue.

points, but they will be decided at
the regular scheduled game at Rec
reation park Saturday, the proceeds
of which will be given to the finance
committee of the Portola festival.
Enthusiasm is at its height Fans
from both sides of the bay are keenly
interested over the athletic features

last evening. Russell displayed plenty
of speed and dash. and had the class
at all times. Brown proved game and
rushed at the local lad, but he was
unable to make any of his wild
swings count.
Russell boxed cleverly and punched
hard. In the sixth round, Brown took
the count from a shower Of blows and
1t looked as though Russell would
surely register a knockout Brown
however, recovered and stalled the
fight out. but he was completely out
classed and the fans were of the opin-
ion that he was mighty lucky to
stick the limit
Russell has been matched to meet
Joe Rivers here on the evening of
October 28, and the whole town Is
smoke ed up over the bout There is
little doubt but that the local boy will
rule the favorite, because OF his great
following throughout the south. Riy-

will make a determined effort to de-
feat Russell and then challenge Willie
Richie for return match for the
