wind, ended yesterdays race of the Bing-
hamton Driving Park Association in a
sensational manner, after one heat of the
80 trottiDg race, for purse of $500, was
finished
Barely was the heat over when terrific
hail storm stopped further proceedings. A
lull of 30 minutes occurred. but before the
track could be put i'll shape for racing the
storm was renewed with redoubled energy.
Tents and fences were broken down and
trees were uprooted or broken off like
pipe-stems. For time it seemed as if the
large grand stand, which rocked violently,
would surely go down, and the spectators
became panic-stricken. A score of horses
hitched near the track broke away from
their fastenings and stampeded. A num-
Der of vehicles were wrecked and their
occupants were injured, as the result of
the runaways.
ENTIRE ORCHARDS WERE UPRooTEp.

BALTIMORE, June IA destructive fire
visited the water front of Baltimore this
afternoon, beginning on the Bay Line
wharf, at the foot of Union dock A work
man saw flash among the thousands OF
bales of cotton stored there and gave the
alarm.
Almost before the great crowd of work
men on the spot knew it the entire water
edge of the Bay Line, or, properly speak
ing the Baltimore Steam Packet Company,
| was a roaring furnace. Three hours later
the ruin was conplete, and damage
moderately computed az $4,000 had been
| done.
The immense wooden freight sheds
lining Union dock 800 feet, the basin
front, 400 feet, and the srnall dock at the
west $50 feet, were burned. Thousands of
dollars worth of baled cotton, hogsheads
of tobacco, bags of -four, barrels of whisky
and rosin, and miscellaneous freight were
destroyed, and the large brick freight and
general offices, cotton storage shed.

Captain Darius ]. Hill, superintendent
OF the packet company, was on the second
floor of the office building He found
himself surrounded by flames, and ordered
that the four laundry women be taken out.
The next thought was for the Norfolk
steamer Carolina. Captain Hill collected
the freight rlishers at the steamer and
ordered her lines to be cast off, and she
was thus saved. Captain Hill was badly
burned about the face and hands. He lost
a great deal of valuable personal property.
The flames by this time had attacked the
barrels of rosin and spirits on the wharf
and spread to the four-lnasted schooner
Augustus Well, loaded with ice, at the
Cochran-Oler dock. Everything above the
waters edge was quickly destroyed and
