DEs rRUCTIvE FIRE.
Three Houses Burned In the
Lake shore Block.

About half past nine o'clock this forenoon
\ DIRE broke out in the house of nsu nam|
ed Mccormick, . resident In the Lake
Shore Block, which for time threatened
the safely Of the entire block, bnt fortn-
Bstely was put out by the exertions Of the
citizep al at large who worked with will
and sverted general confsgration.
As near as can be learned the Ere origin
ated from q detective fiSe 10 the hnuee Of
Mccormick. From his house the Ore spread
to the residence OF . colored man named
Btown. aud from thence TO the house of Mr..
Dan. McEuerney, both Of which were de-
stroyed.
The household effects in the three houses
were oil saved through the rxertions Of the
bysianders, aud the loss 10 only confined to
the buildings, which originally cost about
$3 1000. and to the present owners were
probably worth full as muchas when first
built.
During the prevalence of the a'e qnite a
serious sccideDt occurred. Mr.. X. +.
Stokes, an employee of the Central Pstro-
laum Company, while engaged 10 tearing
down building to prevent The spread O
the flames, threw board out Of the window
which unfortunately struck Mr.. McEnerny
10 the head, quite seriously injuring him
about the head aud face. The accident
was purely accidental and no blame can
be attached to Mr. Stokes.
Credit is due our eitizene, one and oil,
who TUNED to and worked with q will II
suppress the flames.
The fire originated from detective 6ue
10 the house occupied by Mccormick.

THE RACING TODAY.

oAhATOGA, August 40, 1910
The Saratoga Racing Association will bring their
Summer meeting of 1873 to close tomorrow.
To say that the meeting has been great success
scarcely does the subject justice. The meeting has
been the best ever given by the Association and
the prospects are that the attendance tomorrow
will be fully as large as on any day during the
meeting. The programme for the day is good one,
there being four races in it, the first being
o free handicap for oil ages mile and an eighth,
for which the following have been entered and
handicapped :-Jo Daniels ITO lbs. Eolus 1O7 lbs
ChcKabiddy. 104 bs.; Boss Tweed, 1O3 lbs. /; CO.
litza 102 lbs. Sue Ryder 90 lbs. Business, 90 lbs
The Moor, 90 lbs. Minnie Nc Qare Minnie Wy,
o1 lbs; Sunrise 81 lbs. CamerOns colt BY
bennington, out Of Rebecca, SO lbs.; Little jim,
81 lbs, and Cora Linn, 80 lbs.
entries being Bessie Lee, with los lbs. Arizona,
with Ill; Hubbard, with 108, and vlley with ia.
The third race is for the Consolation Purse, with
beaten allowances, mile and three-quarters, the
entries being Wanderer, with 107 lbs.; Busi-
ness. with 81 lbs. Boss Tweed and GOlltza,
may be- which, should either OF them win, they
would have to carry 94 lbs while If they beaten
81 lbs. will be the weight The last race is the
extra steeplechase handicap, with Blind Tom in
at 147 lbs. Tradewind, at IA lbs. Wiley, at 141
lbs. and N. p. at 135 lbs
Although me pool room was well attended TO-
night but little betting was done, no pools being
sold on the mile and an eighth handicap, by reason
of the uncertainty as to who would start. For the
feur-milc heats Hubbard sells at $40 to the field
for S25; for the Consolation, Wandcrer has the
CALL selling Tor 500 to Boss Tweed at $50, Golitza
Blind Tom sold or $45 Tradewind at SAL, yiey for
and A. -. for S1Z.
