BREEDERS MEETING AT AN END.
Capt Macy Wins the Only Race Decided at
Fleetwood Park Yesterday.

Fleetwood Fark Yesterday.
The breeders trottlng meeting at Fleetwood
Park ended In o rather dismal manner yester-
day. The rain had soaked the track until It was
muddy and very slow. and this weather ~continu-
ing cloudy with occasional showers there was
only a mere handful OF spectators on hand to
witness the wind-up. Coincident was the only
one OF the three-year ODDS that was ready to
compete for the Matron Stakes, and first money
WAS awarded to her without the usual formality
of q walkover.
The owners interested In the 2:I5 class race
were remiss about paying their entrance fees
within the time prescribed By the rules. and the
Breeders Association TOOK advantage OF this
omission and declared the race on. much to the
chagrin OF some horsemen who believed they
had the winners. While the action of the asso-
citation Was, perhaps. somewhat technical, and
under ordinary circumstances would have pro-
voked criticism. II was generally accepted with
good grace by the hOrsenen, inasmuCh as the
gate receipts were extremely light aud the club
was known to have lost money on the meeting.
The 2:29 trOt alone was brought OF. Ave start
ers coming To the post out Of a field of seven en-
tries. Capt. Macy. a speedy, strong-going four
was made favOrite over the field. lie had forced
wilkesmont out In 2:2OL two days before, and
it Was I To +? against his chance yesterday. With
the mud flying thick about him at every stride,
the big. burly colt led the way from wire Ia wire
three times In succession. landing the money
with ease. and shutting out &. q. ID, and Belle ID.
It was reported yesterday that an effort was
on fOOt "a lease the Eastwood track for a fifteen
days running meeting. II Is said that 3 1000 a
by the projectors OF the proposed meeting. but
there Is small likelihood Mat the negotiations
will turn out successfully. Summaries:

Explosion of a Mountain.

Previous to July Is, 1888, Mount
Bandai, a tine-cleft peak, 1900 feet
in height, was the most conspicuous
from 100 to $50 miles north of Toxic,
the chief city of Japan. On the day
in question 1t was literally "rent in
twain" and ..blozfn of the face of the
earth" by the expansive power OF
steam which had generated within it.
From the earliest times of which there
is any record streams of cold water
had been plunging under the peak on
one side and escaping in the shape of
steam and boiling hot water on the
other. That the escape valve" was
not sufficient to let off all the steam
generated in the passage of the water
through the red-hot interior of the
peak is evident because of the fact that
when the pressure became too great
the sides of the mountain yielded,
Just as boiler would have done under
like circumstances, and an immense
explosion was the result.
The explosion is said to have been
heard distance of over n thousand
miles and to have caused absolute
darkness in the vicinity of the explod.
ed peak upwards of three hours, dur
ing which time perfect torrents of
hot water and mud were poured down
from the immense heights to which
they had been hurled by the force of
the "pent.up furies" which caused
the disaster. The debris which fell
after the explosion covered an area of
1000 acres, to Il depth varying
from ten to 100 feet on an average,
and in one place, where beautiful
valley had existed but few hours be-
fore, rocks and mud were piled up to
the height of 900 feet. Three villages
were engulfed in the ruins and at
least 500 inhabitants killed by falling
debris or drowned and cooked in the
torrents of boiling mud, which flowed
down valley to a distance of nine
miles.
These facts were CLEANED from a re-
port made by visiting committee APP
pointed by the University of Toxic. -
st. Louis Republic.
