This Country.

Stansbury Is Waiting a Chance to Visit
This Country.
Plans are being drawn for a new boat
house at SausalitO to cost about $1,000. The
building will be for the Pacific Yacht Club.
'Smiler" will visit the Pioneer Boating
Club this afternoon and the members will
have a feast Of information as regards
'sculing" in Australia.
The tine weather Of the past few weeks
has thawed out the dormant Oarsmen, and
it is expected that to-day lively scenes Will
be witnessed in the vicinity of the boat
houses. Dan Leahy is in hopes Of a match
with McLane Of New Westminster.
''Smiler" Of the Sydney Referee, who ar
rived on the steamer from Australia, is very
anxious to arrange match Tor Stansbury
with some Of the American championship
Oarsmen. If Teemer could be in good con-
diton he should give the Australian speedy
race. As OCOnnOr and Hanlan have SUI
teTed defeat in Australia, there would not
be much interest il a race between either
and Stansbury in this country.
" Pegasus" of the New York WGrld says:
Ii the promoters of the Tyne handicap
have Unearthed in I. Campbell, the winner
OF the Christmas sculung handicap on the
Tyne, the louE-l0oked-fOT north country
representative for championship hOnOTs, |
heartily congratulate the TynesiderS. who
should lose no time in matching Campbell
Searle memorial challenge cup (Putney to
Barnes, or for the Sportsman challenge cup
(Which he also holds on the champiOnSh
course, for which the stakes must be 5000
side"
According to Boston paper, Billy O'COn-
nor is preparing for a sculling war 1t says
that the Oarsman has designed a new shell,
which he Will use during the coming season.
The new design reduces the beam half an
inch and the depth the same amount The
length will be the same. O'COnnor claims
a fast shell should be 81 feet inches long,
base 1912 inches, depth 6I2 inches and weight
y pounds. His new boat will be rugged
with French steel tubing. O'Conuor said
TO a reporter who interviewed him on the
l4th inst that he is making big plans for
some big races. StansbuTy, the Australian
Oaremau, who h0lds the championship Of
the world, has written him that he will
leave Australia about March 1st and that
he viii give him another chance 10 secure
the championship UConn0r saws he VIII
be ready to race in June, either at Chautau-
qua, Saratoga or Pullman, for $500 a side.
He Is also ready 10 make a match with
Hosmer and Teemer against himself and
Hanian in d dOubie-sCuIl race for $1,000 a
side. He will also give TeemeT a race in
single souls for $1,000 a side, and says that
Haulan will make a match with Hosmer tor
a Ike amount.

pace to within a score Of yards from home.
Here Collins, who wins his races by strong
finishing, tried desperate sDnrt. but a t.
no purpose as Burrows stalled him off and
won by yard in 0:12.
As a matter Of fact Collins ran two and
half wards better than the winner. and he
failed solely on account of the big start
given Burrows. The latter won Sheffield
handicap few years ago, aud is a first-cass
runner. 1t is estimated that the Collins
party lost over $4,000 on the race. Collins
will come home now, and will hereafter
the Atlantic. AS he has shown his form,
handicappers will give him a worse mark in
future races, SO it will be practically impos-
sible for him to win them.

A MINER AND HIS MASCOT"

Up in the Nevada Mountains
Intent!y working a mine,
Whose products of gold and silver
Excited Ia Bourse, rue Pine;
There t0iled steady miner,
Ambitious. sober. a3tute.
Who studied fo- a profession
But chose another pursuit.
He was young and fairly handsome,
From the austere East afar,
Had woOed and desired to marry
pretty Miss Sally R.;
But one perpleXlng obstruction.
Not easily overcome,
Delayed the intended union
Until he had gained sum.
SO he left home and beloved ones,
Ana came to the Golden West,
In hopes of attaining riches;
Then haste to the one loved best;
But the weeks aud months had vanished;
Much prodtless work was done;
No paying ore was developed
In any drift he had run.
Fe'd prospected near a twelvemOntb,
Yet there was no ore in sight,
And though confronting bOrasco,"
lie deemed that his course WAS right;
He lost some degrees OF ardor
When his funds were getting low,
Though he saw the ground was fertile,
And there was brighter show.
Stll he drove ahead with vgOr.
Til there was a fruitful blast
Which amply paid for his labors;
lie had struck II rich at last.
Then 10 the " States he soon weuded,
Full Of cheer, for wealth now won;
The sanctioned nuptials once over,
His marital bliss begun.
The bride was a charming maiden
OF constant ana owing heart,
With whom her devoted parents
We're most reluctant 70 part.
She was raised la " Oid Dominion"
The famous old mother state,
In aiilueuce and refinement,
And merits her happy fate.
They are here in Californy,"
With their Indigenous boys,
Where friendly and hearty welcome
Waits seekers Of wholesome joys;
And the piethoric old miner,
Now Ia the autumn OF life,
Declares his success and fortune
Are due 10 his mascot" wife.

for several years The Americans who
were entered for the race were: c. +.
Huutley. w. C.. Bryan, j. Collins, ". Don
ovdn, o. I. HaTd aud r. Brown. With the
exception Of Collins all failed to accept their
marks, or were beaten in the preliminary
heats. Collins, however, won his first and
second trial heats ana was well backed for
the final. Weeks before the race his back
ers put up large amounts on hin at big odds
and they stood to win about 5000
Collins left New York on the City Of Rome
in October, ard trained IN a small village in
the NORTH Of England. Few knew of his
presence in England until the bOok-makers
began their work. They were startled at
the readiness Of the Americans to back
Collins. The latter had a poor mark"
and he opened at 20 to /. Big betting, how
ever, reduced the odds, and he went to the
post at to 1. Even at these figures he was
supported in the betting.
In the opening heat Collins won easily.
defeating Nultrr, Boyle and Howarth. Nut
ter and HOwarth each had five yards start
OF him, and Boyle six. In the second trial
Collins met Hunter and gave him over four
yards. The Eagllshman WAS q 3 to / on
iaYoTl G, but Collins won by half-yard.
In the final Collins met Burrows, Cunliffe
and Cross. 1t was a 3O-yard race. Collins
was virtually at scratch, starting from the
10R-yard mark, while CunlGe had 1914,
Burrows 1874 and Cross 15h yards. The
betting was to 2 on Burrows, ia l against
Collins and % TO l against the others.
In the draw for choice Of positions Bur
rows won and picked out the bsst path. The
track was sloppy, and a cOu lie Of pools of
water made the finish awkward. The men
went away quickly to a good start. For
forty yards they were well up to their posi-
tons, but Cross was unable to stand the
pace, and Burrows soon put daylight be-
tween them, and going on he made his best

MADISON SOUTH DAKOTA THURSDAY SEPTEMBER

the most disastrous TIE that ever
visited this seaside resort was finally
mastered at about 2 p. M after several
hours of hard fighting. For while it
seemed as though the fire was beyond
al human control and and the general
belief was that it would burn while
there was material to feed it. The local
fire department was badly halnpered in
its efforts by the lack Of water. The
area burned over is about 1eO
acres and where formerly there was .
long line of hotels. bathing houses and
carousels, ETC., is now mass OF smouid-
ering ruins with here and there a vigor-
ous sheet OF flames still shooting up. IL
was not until reinforcements from the
fire departments of Long Island City,
Ozone Park. Wolhaven and Morris
Park had arrived that any headway was
made. The only loss of life SO far as
can now be ascertained is Mrs. Phillips,
the wife of the proprietor of Seaside
museum, and her 6-year-old daughter.
This was the building I'M which the fire
originated and SO suddenly did the
flames spread that before the woman
could escape all exits were cut off. Sew
eral of the firemen were injured more or
less seriously. Loss is estimated all the
way from $500, 900 to 81 100000 but
conservatives place the sum at the first
named amount. The insurance Is small.
Among the principal buildings burned
were Collins hotel, Murray 81 Datz's
Grand Ocean hotel. New York hotel.
Peterson & Barry's hotel, pavilion and
pier, Colui!lous hotel, F. Roach's hotel.
annex of Wainwright & Smiths hotel,
.,ainwright 81 Smiths pavilion, Bur-
cnsil's grocery store, r. Simpsons hotel,
kruse's hotel, DIR. Pulls drug store,
Peterson's pool room and Globe hotel,
the fire tower, the electric light station
and Garrison's hotel, and ON the beach
the Hotel Stuttgart, Ocean House. Co
lumbia, Schubert's hotel, Morrison's
hotel, Grand Republic hotel, Hotel Al
bemarle anc the ST. James-on-the- Boul-
evard. Besides these buildings, which
was all of large size, host of smaller
buildings occupied by drug stores, cigar
stores, ice cream and candy stores,
shooting galleries and stores of such
class were destroyed, over 100 in all.
