TReno Gazette March 4th j

A Gazette reporter has been spendin

from the ruins, and in gathering notes as
to their condition. The result of the in
vestigation proves beyond all doubt that
the Hall safe, manufactured in Cincinna-
ii, Ohio, is the most reliable safe repre-
sented. There were safes from half doz-
en- different manufactures in the fire, and
their contents were in all stages between
a scorch and utter ruin. Some had TO be
blown open, others cut to pieces with
chisels; some were mass of broken pIas-
ter and warped plates. Others ed
sound on the outside, while within there
was nothing saved. Some lost knobs,
others had the com binati0n com mpletely
upset. In every case the Halls safe OPEN
ed without hammer or chisel, and the
contents were wholly untouched. The
County Treasurer's safe (Hall's) lay in a
m ASS of fcombustibles upon VIII ich a stream

hours, ard as soon as it cooled off Mr..
Boyd opened 1t without the least hesita-

The recent brilliant victories Of Mr..

known Kentucky gentleman that will as

racing. While Paroles performances
were being discussed the other evening
At the Union Club, New York, Mr.. Lor-
illard and Colonel Clark, of Kentucky,
an enthusiastic admirer of the sport, en-
gagged in friendly conversation relative
to the formers fine specimens of speedy
animals, the outgrowth Of which CONVEX
sation was the closing between the two
of q bet of $4,000, by the terms of
which Colonel Clark 10 to select three
Kentucky horses that will beat any three
horses bred on the Lorillard farm.
Five races In all are to be run, one beng
decided next year, with $10,0 staked
on the result of each. The first contest
will take place next year either at Louis
vile, KY, or at Monmouth Park, N. j.
Two races are to be run on the latter
course and two on the former, the makers
of the bet to toss for the place OF the fifth
event. Colonel Clark, when questioned
at the Union Club last night, said the
bet had been made, but arrangements as
to the racing had not yet been completed.
The cause of the making of the bet was
merely friendly rivalry between him
self and Mr.. Lorillard, which resulted in
the pitting of "Kentucky against Loril-
lard's farm" lie added, with smile,
after a moments pause, that Mr.. Loril :
lard had another reason in betting, and
that was to ''have revenge tor Paroles
defeats and heavy losses thereon" Mr..
Pierre Lorillaid and Colonel Clark met
later on, and had consultation in re-
ferancs to the affair, but at midnight moth
ing definite had been decided upon, and
Colonel Clark said that no decision
would probably be reached until to-
day.
