AvALANCHEs OF SNOW,
Dangers During Mountain Climbing That
May Result Fatally.

Dangers During Mountain Climbing That
May Result Fatally.
II the traveller should be unfortunate
enough, owing to an error of judgment, to
be caught in a snow avalanche, there is lit
tie else that he can do, says Mr.. Dent in
the Pail Mall Budget beyond striving to the
utmost, as he is carried down in the midst
of the seething mass of loose snow, to keep
on his face and keep his head up the slope
There is usually but little chance of using
the ak in any way as an anchor. It has
happened more than once that party has
been able by running to escape out of the
line of descending avalanche. IF there is
no chance of doing this, each man should
anchor himself to the best of his
power, stretching himself to his full
length with head up the slope. On
fairly soft snow with ak driven well in, he
may be able to Withstand q small avalanche
that has not come from far above him. If
on ice he has next to no chance, and must
trust to being carried to safe place. This
winter snow contains so much air that q
party, even overwhelmed by enormous
masses, are able to breathe in perfect CON-
fort, and can usually e1tricate themselves
unless carried into a crevasse.
A more formidable avalanche that the
mountaineer meets has already been men,
toned, that is the form of snow avalanche
which consists of stratum of snow loosely
adherent to hard neve or clear ice inclined
at q steep angle. Here the avalanche is
started by the party themselves, and no
weight of falling snow has to be withstood.
The precarious foothold, and the impossi-
bility of anchoring, constitute the difficulty.
Little or nothing can be done to arrest the
progress; the whole mass of snow moves
with the traveller.

people went wild with enthusiasm. W
Wood, the Steinway gelding, pushed him
closely until the stretch WAS reached.
The 81, 200 purse for the 2:H class trotters
was won in three straight heats by the A. W.
Richmond gelding, Richmond, Jr., who is
well known on eastern tracks. The time

Dexter Prince mare, Jessie, easily captured
the 81 600 hung out Tor the 2:30 class trotters,
her best time being 2:22A. The meeting will

CHICAGO Aug. H.-Another phase of the
complicated litigation growing out Of the
attempt of the city to close up the Garfield
race track was decided in the Circuit Court
by Judge Mcconnell this afternoon. John
Murray, bookmaker, and E. W. Webber, a
ticket seller, we're before him on writs of
habeas corpus, having been arrested at the
Garfield track. The Court released Murray,
holding that the city or dinance under which
he was arrested was void, because of nom
publication. Webber, however, was refused
q release on the ground that Garfield track
was place of amusement and was being
op Grated contrary to the law requiring such
places to have licenses.
