There will doubtless be a large crowd at
the fair grounds this afternoon to witness
the "saw-off" game between the Laramie
ball team and the Cheyenne Red Stock
ings. The Laramie nine will arrive from
the west at 10 o'clock this morning. Their
manager telephoned over yesterday after
noon that the club will be accompanied by
at least 200 friends and hackers. Their
nine has been greatly ~strengthed, and the
players will go in to win. The Reds will
send out a good team and, after defeating
the crack Denver club, should experience
but little difficulty in bringing Laramie
into camp. However, the home team is
noted for having very bad luck at times,
and it is barely possible that they may
have an off day. Rapp and Cannon will
be the battery for the reds.

A Dancing School,

Cheyenne is once again about to enjoy
the luxury of a first class dancing school,
and those who are anxious to learn the
terpslchorean movement will now be
given a longed for opportunity. The
school will be opened for the first time on
Wednesday evening, Oct. 3, and will be
opened on two nights a week thereafter.
Keefe hall has been secured and Mr..
Keefe has undertaken to see himself that
the school is condected on the highest
possible plane. The floor will be under
charge of Prof. Mooney, the well known
dancing master, who will introduce all
the very latest figures. Music will be
furnished BY lnman's orchestra, and
everybody interested may ex pect to be
furnished q good time whenever they at
tend.

FIRE IN THE CELLAR.
The Phoenix Block ALI But De-
stroyed by Flames.

AT 2:40 o'clock there were 500 pretty
thoroughly frightened and carelessly
clothed people at the junction of Sixteenth
street and Capitol avenue.
An immense cloud of smoke was hang
ing over the magnificent Phoenix block,
and it issued from every opening in the
building.
Within three minutes after the alarm
of fire was sounded the Pioneer Hooks
were on the spot, and the Alerts had hose
laid for action. The Durants arrived a
minute later and John Chase turned on a
stream from the Inter Ocean. All did
excellent service.
The flames were located in the cellar
under Heath's market and were extin-
guished in half an hour. A kerosene
tank containing sixty gallons of oil was
heated by the fire. That it did not ex-
plode is little short of a miracle. 1t did
leak, and spread the flames not a little.
A few hundred dollars will cover the
damage. The origin of the fire is a mys-
terry. A man slept in the building and
the cellar was inspected four hours before
the alarm was turned in. A thorough
in Iestigation will be made.
The Cheyenne fire department saved
the Phoenix market and doubtless adioin-
ing buildings from complete destruction
this morning.

THE POOLS.
Nearly $1,000 Placed on the Great
club cup Race.

The pool sellers and sports are jubiIant
over race prospects.
When the Inter Ocean pool room closed
last evening there was nearly 81, 900 in
the Paris and mutual boxes. This is
unprecedented in the west. In Denver,
where pools are sold only the night before
the races, the bets seldom aggregate $500.
On this OCCASION the sales we're made
three nights before the race, and the Lar
ME plungers, who will cut quite a fig
ure on the quarter stretch, and in front of
the %auctloneer at the rooms, were absent.
Many side bets were also made. Pool
selling will be resumed Monday night.
Last evening betting was exclusively on
the club cup race, and it would require
the services of an expert mathmatician to
ascertain which of the entries was the
f~avorite. With the exception of Trouble,
every nomination was named tor first
choice on many different cards.
In the Paris mutual pools Endebar,
Deronda and the DAVIS stable are rated in
the order named with Spider, Frederick,
Trouble and Nellie Bly, in the field.
The club cup race, to be run the first
day OF the fair, is a mile and an eighth
dash for the magnificent cup now held by
N. X. Davis. There are eight entries, to
be ridden in colors by gentlemen jockeys.
All nominations are territorial bred, and
the race will be for blood.
