MANCHESTER, N. H., July 30.-The sec
ond days programme of the July trotting
meeting of the Merrimack Valley Associa-
tion was carried out this afternoon. The
weather and track were fine but the attend
ance was light.
In the 2.37 class, one heat of which was
trotted yesterday, Rex was set back in the
third for running, and the heat was given to
NJ. j. b., but Rex easily took the next heat
and race.
The 2.29 class did not fill, but special race
was made, with Rowdy Boy, Little Dick and
Jack Spratt for starters. The time made
was the best ever shown over the Manches-
ter track, the best time prior to this being
2.294. Spratt took, the fourth heat and the
next two, although the crowd gathered in
front of the judges stand and refused to al
low the last heat to be trotted unless all
pools were declared off. This the judges re-
fused, as they believed Spratt was the fast
est horse, and the crowd refusing to leave
the track the drivers charged upon them at
the full speed of their horses, and compelled
them to leave the track. Spratt was struck
by a club as he got the word. Best time 2.2S

WILMINGTON, Del, July 3o-A new brick build

the Diamond State Iron Company, fell the ground
yesterday afternoon, burying many workmen. A
severe storm was raging and the building rocked
to its foundation. One of the workmem observed
the walls parting, and giving the alarm, dashed to
the door and escaped just as the walls came crash
ing down. The bodies of George Eliza, carpenter,
