HE RAcEs-CRowDs IN ATTENDANCE
The attendance at the rnoes, yesterday,
was unusually large. The grand and side
stands were thronged, while great num-
bers were on the track, gesticulating,
talking and giving advice. There we're
fully 100 ladies on the stand, Who mani.
tested great interest in the exciting pro-
ceedings. Tho restaurants in the build
ing drove brisk trade-many persons
being unable to get supplied. At 1
O'Clock, the trumpet sounded, and it
was announced that the trotters in the
undecided contest of the day previous
would be called Chambers chesnut
gelding and Langford's "Spotted Tail"
The horses got off we'll together, but
"Spotted Tail" soon got the lead. The
sorrel made several bad breaks and ran
portion OF the way, and tho judges
awarded the heat and the race to 'Spot.
ted Tail"
Upon the rendering Of the decision,
there was the usual noisy discussion. A

among the crowd, and an unusual
amount OF sympathy was expressed for

FmE.-About one o'clock Saturday
morning the family Of A. Remke, who
keeps grocery on S3d street, Eighth
Ward, were aroused by feeling Of sufto-
cation, which was found to BIZ caused by
the rooms rapidly filling with smoke.
The alarm was given, and few neigh.
bors, with the inmates Of the house, dis
covered that the smoke was coming from
the store room, and upon examination
found a fire had been kindled behind the
counter. A few buckets Of water put II
out, but in short time, when things had
somewhat quoted down, another volume
Of smoke was found to be issuing. from
the garnet, where another fire had
been started, which was soon extin-
guished without giving general alarm.
The damage will probably amount to
500. The fire was certainly the work
Of an incendiary, but Mr.. Remke is at q
loss to imagine who could wish to burn
his house.. ,.Ffgs. -t.,..

SOME BEAUTIFUL VIEws.-Thosa who
will, may see from the creek bridge, q
very fine procession Of panoramic WE'VE.
The material for this moving picture is
furnished by the refneries up the creek,
and as the oil spreads in patches over the
surface Of the water, it.assumes every va.
riety Of shape and hue, No artist hand
ever mingled colors Of more delicate
shade or varied tint. There are noun.
tain, cloud and landscape views beautl-
full as any portrayed by the old masters,
and If seen in show windows or from q
stereoscopic stand point would fairly
rivet the attention oil admiring crowds.
Natures most beauteous handiwork Is
Oft unheeded by tho passing throng.

entertained that he may have been
Wropgtully or ioully dealt with.
