Old Orchard, July 17.-The greatest days
racing ever seen in the State of Maine was
that of tho opening day of the Eastern
Circuit meeting on the Old Orchard Kite
track today. Every heat of the day was a
contest from start to wire with one excep-
tion, and phenomenal time was made, nota-
bly, the fifth. heat.of the 2.l9 pace which Jack
made In 2.12 1-2. the track record. and
a second better than his time in the fourth
heat. Another great heat was that of
Almontine in the first of the 2.40 trot, 2.19
La with Val, horse making his first start
in race, second by half a length, after
throwing a toe-weight at the head of the
stretch and just before reaching the
wire.
Everything was favorable for great work,
especially toward the last of the afternoon,
when slight fog that was present thefirst
of the day drifted off. and whatever wind
was stirring died away. The track was in
the finest condition possible the best that it
has ever been. A crowd numbering nearly
1000 people witnessed the events, Ladies'
Day. proving such success that the man
agement announced that the ladies would
have the same privilege extended to them
throughout the meeting.
First on the card came the 2.19 pace, with
nine starters, Jack, superbly handled by
Jerry O'Neil, finally placing the three
necessary heats to his credit after a deter
mined fight.wtth Ben d. Jack won the first
heat in 2l4 1-2, Ben D. the next two, both
in 2.16. The O'Neil let out link of Jack''s
speed and put the track record at 2.13 1-2, a
record that stood about an hour, when Jack
took the last heat in 2.12 1.-2
In the first heat of this race the sulkies of
Corneta and George K, came into collision
before reaching the quarter pole. and that
of George K. had a wheel knocked off
Happily no one was injured, and as no
blame was attached to either of the drivers,
George K. was allowed to start again.
A field of seven horses faced Starter
Pompilly for the first heat of the 224 trot,
and glib field it was. In this race, as in
the first. it took five heats to do the trick,
Happy Minnie, with George Scattergood
behind her, proving the successful oandi-
date for first honors. Sidney McGregor,
Gregor, landed first at the wire in the first
and third heats, and was right at Happy
Minnie's neck in the fifth.
1t was already six o'clock when the first
heat of the 2.40 trot was called with seven
answering the bell. The time made in the
two heats Of this call was the surprise of the
day, and is undoubtedly the best on record
in New England for horses starting in the
2.40 class. Almontine had quite jop laid
out for her, but managed to win the two
heats trotted, the first in 2.19 IA, the second
in 2.20 Ia, when the race was lad over until
tomorrow at one O'Clock, sharp.
The following are the summarizes:

Three Negroes Burned.

CHARLOTTE, N. c., Nov. 3O.-Three
negroes were burned to death in the
guardhouse at Polkton, N. c., shortly
after midnight yesterday morning.
Henry Butler and Oscar Thompson
stole q cow and took it to Monroe.
They were arrested on suspicion and
brought to Polkton for examination.
The two were placed in the guard
house there to be sent on to Wades-
boro later. Another negro, Hamp May
accused of stealing shoes, was also in
the guardhouse. About o'clock,
many citizens were aroused from their
slumbers by heart-rending and eXcit-
ing screams and knockings from the
guard-house. Men fastened to the
place. Smoke and flame burst from
the interior. The groanings and
screams hushed. Nothing could be
done, though axes were used as long
as the flames permitted. The building
was small, but very strong, and burnt
very rapidly. After the house burned
down, the charred, burned and black
ened remains were taken from the
embers. Evidently the negroes tried
to burn their way out, and losing con-
troll of the fire, brought upon them
selves their own destruction, and moth
ing was left but the ghastly remains
to tell the tragedy.

The Bicycle Girls Costume.

The sensational World newspaper
is publishing many columns of letters
daily for and against the use of bicy-
cles by women. "Is bicycling immod-
est2" Is the question debated. Some
of the critics declare that they could
not possibly fall in love with girl on
a wheel-she looks too masculine by
far. Others says that young men
teach young girls to ride and hug
them, under the pretense that they are
merely keeping them from falling off
which is Just awful, of course. 9th
ers are shocked at the sight of ''bloom-
ers" flirting up and down the avenues,
although they see nothing improper
in the bathing suits worn at the sea-
shore. Now there is no denying that
the "bloomer, costume in the eyes of
O Christian is the very ugliest girl
can wear. The prettiest girl in the
world with d cap on her head, her
trousers stuffed in her boots, as it were
and working away on the pedals of a
bicycle for dear life looks like a fool.
But that costume is otimmodest and,
besides, very few women here wear it.
Most of them wear long skirts, sit up
straight on their wheels and move
along the roads with grace and dig
nifty which puts to shame the frog-llke
gyrations of the male riders.

Thirteen Persons Poisoned.

ATLANTA, Ga., Nov. 90 Thirteen
persons on Bud Turner's plantation
near Calhoun, Ga, were poisoned to-
day. All of the Turner family are
desperately i'll and several of the SER
wants are very sick. The symptoms
indicate arsenicaf poisoning. At first
it was thought that fresh hog meat
had caused the illness of the family
and an investigation is being made to
discover trichinae, but thus far no
trace of it has been found. The last
report from Calhoun is that arsenic
has been thrown in the we'll, but by
whom has not yet been learned.
