At the afternoon session the report of the oleomargarine Investigating committee was presented by Mr. Scho fleld, of Centre. .The committee finds that the chairman, George M. Hosack, of Allegheny, was entirely Justlflecl by tho current rumors in bringing tho charges; that there Is no evidence that the dairy and food commissioner, Ma jor Levi Wells, of Towanda, of his agent. Frank N. Moore, of Pittsburg, or any of the agents of the dairy and food commissioner ever received or de manded from any person any sum as a consideration for exemption from prosecution for violating the acts pro hibiting the sale of oleo; that Mr. Moore was negligent in the perfor mance of his duty as agent of the dairy and food commissioner and failed to prosecute the violators of the law, prohibiting the sale of oleomar garine with, due diligence! that the dairy and food commissioner was In the fault in not exercising proper and systematic supervision over the work of Mr. Moore and other agents, and assigning Mr. Moore too largo a dis trict twenty-three counties that it was Impossible for him to get over it. The report is signed by the full com mittee, except "Jlr, Hosack, who filed a 'minority rport in which he gives much of the evidence adduced at the hearings and recommends Mr. Moore's dismissal. The final conclusion of Mr. Hosack's report follows: "From the evidence produced It appears that the office of dairy and food commissioner Is not conducted In a business-like manner and that Moore has not dis charged the duties Imposed upon him iin a proper manner and should, there fore, be removed." The majority report makes no rec ommendation further than there should be at least two active men in the dis trict assigned to Mr. Moore. The re ports weie received, read and laid upon the table. This is piobably the last that will ever be heard of the oleo scandal. APPROPRIATION BILLS.

FAIRBANK COMPANY, Chicago, (, Loulj, Hew Yoik, OJojIsp, . ruiadtipbU, GOOD HORSE RACES AT DRIVING PARK Three-Day Meet Degtas Under Most Fav orable Auspices. FAST TRACK AND FINE WEATHER Pleasing 1'cuturo Wns tho Work of Fred Smith, Stnrtor--riolds Wcro Largo nml of Cood (unllty-2.no Trot, 2.20 Pace, 2.35 I'ncc nnd Ilnir-Mtlo Running Kvcnt Wero Dc-cIdcd--Attrnctlvo Cnrd for Todny. For the first time In many years Scranton horsemen are able to seo first-class trotting and pacing races In their own city. Under the manage ment ot Wilbur N. lllce nnd with a professional, disinterested and compet ent starter four events were decided yesterday, events that brought to the po&t the best horseflesh and tho cream of drivers nnd owners of this region. The attendance, while not lnrge, was very satisfactory for a first day and was larger than has been experienced on the circuit tracks down the state. Horsemen and spectators had tho sat isfaction, too, of seeing the awards paid from the Judges' stand as fast as each race was decided. The weather, barring a light wind early In tho afternoon, was ideal for racing. The track was spongy nnd In good condition and was made fast by tho light rain of Tuesday night. About 700 persons, which Included a largo number of women, saw tho races. There was music by tho Lawrence band during Hie afternoon. Fred Smith, of Buffalo, the starter, Is a professional official of no little repute and Is In great demand to pre side nt races throughout tho East. His work yesterday h'ad a snap and honesty about It that courted great favor with the crowd and it made wmc of the starting of past years suffer greatly by tho comparison. He s nil old newspaper man. Until a 'few years ngo ho was sporting editor of tho Buf falo Commercial and Is now turf writ er for tho Buffalo Courier and Record. The judges were John Lannlng, jr., of Wllkes-Barre, and J. W. Houser, M. D., of Taylor. Considering that the track Is 31 feet over the half, or, 68 feet over tho full mile, the time made was unusually good. The time might be computed at ubout two Seconds faster than a 2.20 gait. The winners were Topsle R, owned by .T. L. Wagner, of Hazleton, In the 2.50 trot; Teresa B, owned by G. O. Smith, of Orange, N. J., in the 2.20 pace; Emma G, owned by J. L. Wag ner, in the 2.35 pace, and Radnor own ed 1y George Greene, of Valley Forgo, In the running race. 2.50 TROT. There were three scratches In the 2.50 trot, Daisy, br. m., (F. E. Wade), Julia R., br. m. (F. W. Cook), and Alice Winton br. m. (John Cook), being with drawn. This left five starters, however, and there was a pretty race in the first heat, in which Saracinesca, Little Rose and Cal gave a good exhibition, Jo sephine was among the first four throughout, but she did much running and though she finished third was placed fourth. Topsle R was a length ahead of Little Rose at the wire in the first half. Saracinesca, who was first In the first heat, began bleeding at the nose, coming third Into the stretch In the second heat and was pulled up. The Judges allowed her to be drawn Instead of distanced. TTJpsie R walked away with the third heat in 2.30. The four made the distance in the order in which they finished, Topsle R, Little Rose, Jo sephine and Cal. The first quarter showed 36?i. the half 1.14, the third quarter 1.51,&. The last heat was a repetition of tho third. The order at the finish was the same, about a length and a half separating each horse. The summary: 2.50 trot, purso $200. Topsle It., br. m 3 111 J. L. Wagner, Hazleton.

Horsemen said It was as good a bunch of eight as ever left the post In Scranton. They were sent away on the third score. Maud L and Trlxee Lee broke badly on the first quarter, and both were hopelessly out of It. Teresa B, Dolly Spencer and Wllsura kept a steady gait from the flag. The former was never worse than first or second and made the first half In 1.09. They finished as named. Trixee Lee, next to last on the first quarter of the second half, was whipped, and though she finished last was distanced for running. The first quarter was made in 33A. Some very fast time was made In the second heat in which the 1-2-3 order was the same as in the first heat. Te resa B was never headed. The first quarter was made In 34, the half In 1.08, the third quarter In 1.43 and the distance In 2.19'i, It looked as though Dolly C had quit at the three-quarters pole and she did give way to Wllsura, who held second by a length to tho head of the stretch where Dolly C came strong and paced for the wlro almost neck and neck after Teresa, a length away, Dolly C and Wllsura were whip ping, tho former getting the place by scarcely more than a neck. Tho third heat decided the race, Ter esa B and Dolly Spencer getting first and second money and Jo Jo third. Wllsura might have been placed third ii j ii wir in ; i i" i "- T? in tho raco but lost It by breaking badly In the first quarter and being distanced, Tho first quarter was mada In 34, tho half In 1.59, tho third quarter In 1.44 and tho distance In tho same tlmo as tho second heat, 2.19V4. Tho first two were separated by a length while two lengths away Jo Jo nnd Maud L whipped out tho finish for third, tho former landing under tho wlro with only a halt length to spare.

Westlakc), and St. Joe (C. E. Bellman) being scratched. Heads only separated Em ma a, Annie J and Spain at tho wlro In tho first heat. They finished as named and the most credit was duo tho first horso which, by her driver's consent, was sent away last. Sho was the polo horse, but a bad one and spoiled what ought to have been sev eral good starts. They were sent away on tho fifth score. Spain was placed fourth for not keeping his position In the stretch and Silver Prince was giv en third. The quiyter was covered In 37, tho half in 1.15V4, the three-quarters In 1.53 and the distance In 2.27. The second heat was tho closest fin ish of the day, Emma G, Annie J nnd Spain passed the wire almost noso anl nose and In tho order named. Emma G was set back to third by the Judges for running and Annie J given first nnd Spain second. Even with her disqualification Emma G paced a splen did race. She was third by nearly threo lengths at tho head of the stretch and was fast making ground but broke near the wire and was pulled into her stride in time to got first by a nose. Tho quarter was made In 3S, the half In 1.14, the three-quarters in 1.53 and the full mile In 2.29. Annie Jand Spain In breaking spoiled flhelr chances in the third heat, al though the latter's recovery was good. Emma G broke on the first quarter and fell back to next at last. On the third quarter Annie J broke and Em ma G caught Spain at the three-quarter pole. The finish was a driving one, limma winning oy a half length. The quarter was made in 37, the half in 1.14 and tho three-quarters In 1.51. Emma G won the third heat with Spain and Annie J half lengths away as named. Goldseeker and. Sliver Prince were never in tho hunt. The quarter was made in 38, the half in 1.13, and the three-quarters In 1.53. The summary: 2.35 trace, mnsn S"00 Emma G., b. m 13 11 J. L. Wacmer. Hazlotnn.

Holgate) were scratched in the half mile running race. There was a field of six starters After several bad starts the- starter's assistant dropped the flag by mistake and all but Red Rose took the signal and the half mile was covered In 55 seconds, Young Trou bador finishing first. Red Rose was left at the post and it was decided "no heat." After a half hour of fiddling at the post they were sent away to a good start for all except Rambert who wns as good as left. Red Rose with a lightweight Jockey up made the run ning and at the first quarter had a gap of six or seven lengths between herself and the field. She won hands down. Young Troubadour was second by a head and Radnor third. There was more trouble in trying to start the second heat. After several false starts Red Rose and Loan Oak ran away. nly half the field got off the next time but they made the dis tance, Troubador, Red Rose and Loan Oak finishing as named. They wero made to start again and Loan Oak wa-3 left at the post. Radnor and Young Troubador made the running nnd fin ished as named with Red Rose third. The owner of Red Rose objected to running off the heat with Radnor, but the judges insisted. Radnor got away first and had nearly four lengths the lead at the first furlong, but Red Rose was at his saddle girths at the quarter. They whipped nearly all the last quar ter. Radnor running by n half length. It was plain that Red Rose was the better horso at the distance, but what ever chances sho had were ruined by the felso starts and her runaway.
