were present today. The event of the day
was the first special race, in which the king
os the turf, Kingston, cleverly ridden by
Murphy, passed under the wire length in
front Of Raceland Banker August Bel

slow in the first quarter, and in passing the
stand, after having traversed a quarter of a
mile, Raceland was ahead by four lengths.
At the three-quarter Raceland was two
lengths in the van, Kingston and Los
Angeles being Tapped, with Tenny three
quarters of a length behind. Making the
turn for home, Los Angeles was beaten, and
Burnes began to apply his whip. Hamilton
and Mclaughlin also went 10 whip, but
Murphy merely shook Kingston up.
The great racer gamely responded and
coming with a rush, was soon in the vun
Raceland then was second. Tenny third

THE central part of Johnstown, Pa, IS
as completely obliterated by the late food
as If il had never had foundation. The
river has made its bed upon the sites of
the dwellings, and a vast area OF sand,
mud. gravel and furrowed ground marks
the old channel. 1t is doubtful if it IS

tion facilities can be furnished. The
towns named all lie between Johnstown
and the South Fork dam, whose bursting
caused the disaster. At Woodvale the
dead bodies of hundreds are lying in the
debris, relatively as numerously as they
are in JohnstOwn. At Conemaugh, the
same condition of things prevails. The
scarcity Of the living at both places
makes the recovery Of bodies very slow
work.

The Horror Increased.

JoHNsTowN, Pa. June 2.-The magpi-
tude Of the horror increases with the
hours. 1t is believed that not less than
two thousand of the drowned found lodg
ment beneath the mass of debris in the
triangle OF ground that the Conemaugh
cut out Of the bank between the river
proper and the Pennsylvania railroad
bridge. There was the greatest funeral
pyre III history. The victims were not on
it, but were parts of its horrible cOnstruc
ton. Whole houses were washed into
the apex Of the triangle. Hen-coops, pig
stys, stables, the refuse of the gutter, the
contents Of sewers, whole lumber
yards, boom upon boom of logs, com
posed the mass, when the upsetting of
a cook-stove ignited the mass, and
the work of cremation began. 1t
was costly sacrifice to the demon Of
the food, being a literal breast Of fire.
The smoke rose in a huge, funnel shaped
cloud, and at times changed to the form
of an hour glass. At night the flames
would light up this misty remnant Of
mortality. The effect upon the living, ig>
norant and intelligent, was the same.
That volume of smoke, with its dual
form, produced a feeling of awe in many
that was superior in most cases to that
in the awful moment of the storms
wrath on Friday afternoon. Hundreds
stood for hours regarding the smoke and
wondering if it forboded another
visitation direr than its predecessor. 1t
was with a feeling of absolute loathing
that all people hereabouts this morning
awoke to find that nothing but a mass of
ashes, calcined human bones, stoves, old
iron and other approximately indestruct-
ible matter, from which only light blue
vapor was arising. General Hastings
took precautions to prevent the extension
Of the fire to another huge pile short
distance away, and this will be searched
to- day for bodies of food victims.

After being washed they were placed in
caskets and arranged in long rows on the
depot platform for Identification. Only
few Of the number were recognized
some were so terribly disfgured as to be
wholly unrecognizable. The waiting
rooms in which the embalming was done
presented a sickening sight. Human
forms frightfully burned or cut q
bruised, were laid upon rough board
table, washed and coffned. If they were
not recognized in very short time, they
we're placed on wagons and taken to the

1t would seem that every man is his own
coffin maker, and many man. can bo
seen here and there claiming what re-
mains Of his house in which perhaps he
has found the remains of a loved one, and
is busily patching it together with nails
and hoops or any available thing to hold
the body Of some dear member Of his

in the upper portion Of the town. The
coffins are conveyed to the cemetery in
wagons, each one carrying two, three or
more. Few mourners follow. There is
