BIG LUMBER MILL BURNED.
That of j. Il. Booth ut ottawa, the Largest
on the Continent.


Col L. y. Woodbury. received a telegram
Tuesday noon informing him that j. r.
Booths big lumber mill at Ottawa burned
Tuesday morning. 1t was the, largest
mill of tho kind on the continent,
having a capacity of 60, 900, 900 feet
yearly, Another large mill near it es-
capped the fire, and will now be run
night and day. This loss will make the
years cut 10000, 600 feet short, but not
withstanding this the cut for the year will
be over 100, 900, 900 feet. The local lumber
industry will not be affected by the shrink
age. The loss on the burned mill will
probably reach $3.50, 900; insurance uu-
known.

A SIX HEAT RACE.

The 2:2l class was as pretty a race as was
ever seen at Howard Park. Seven Of the
ten horses entered came out for the word.
1t was a splendid field of horses, as the long
drawn out race showed. Woodbury. Thorn
drew the pole, G. II. X. second position,
Kendall third, Duane fourth, Nellie F. fifth,
John |. sixth and Parthenon seventh,
1t was fight between Kendall, Thorn and
&. II. X. They had little more speed
than the others Kendall belongs to the
stables of John Utton and Thorn to that of
Tom Utton, and Notwithstanding that
the trainers are brothers there is
great rivalry between them. When
horses in their stables meet, there is
no put up job" each wins if he can,
which desire generally results in a good
horse race at least it did Tuesday. Thorn
and e. H. X. fought out every heat and
not one was won by more than neck.
Kendall made unfortunate breaks on the
quarter turns in the fourth and fifth heats,
which made it useless for him to try for
either of them. The class being for both
trotters and PAGERS, the drivers agreed to
waive the distance rule John Moulton, a
popular driver, drove Kendall and Garlic
Rounds, Burlington driver, piloted Wood
bury Thorne.

three months. Residents of this Sec

this great Boston house on exactly the
same terms as if they had a store with

immense saving can be made in price,
besides the advantage of securing the
latest styles and freshest goods. An
other important advantage which must
not be overlooked is the fact that one
is enabled to have furniture entirely
different from that of any other house
