Sudden Storm Causes a Great Panic at
the Latonia Races.
CINCINNATI, June AT noon yester-
day the weather was warm and clear
and over 8, 900 people went to Latonia
to view the racing. At 2 o'clock dark
storm clouds gathered on the north
western horizon and driven by hurri-
cane they rushed swiftly on, displaying
the ominous olive green color with
fieecy fringes in front so peculiar to

Latonia in which were 5000 people,
one-third of them women. Then came
the rain, first in streams and afterward
in sheets.
Horse sheds outside of the race course
were picked up and strewn clear across
the track 300 yards away. The iron
anatomy of the grand stand creaked
A rush to the center of the grand
stand did not help matters. The wind
toppied the upper seats over and rolled
them toward the front. Amid screams
of women a wild rush was made for the
broad central stairway that leads to the
plaza in front of the stand, but cool
men rushed into the crazy crowds and
averted a calamity and a crowd went
down safely to shelter under the stand.
Many women tainted.
One woman cleared the fence next
the track at a single bound and ran
across the track in the storm. Another
woman is reported to have thrown her
baby over the railing into the grass and
afterward picked it up uninjured.
