The timely discovery of fire at
Bunting's Fish Factory about 3
O'Clock T lesday morning prevented
the destruction of several thousand
dollars worth of property. The
wharf had caught fire from an engine
on same and Il schooner alongside of
wharf would soon have been in
flames, when q gentlemen on schoon-
err aroused by the falling of the en-
CINE on wharf into water, succeeded
in putting out the fire. In a few
moments more the fire would have
been beyond control and some eight
or ten thousand dollars would have
gone up in smoke. The damage to
the property was about twenty-five
dollars.

Mr.. ]. Edward Birmingham, of "My
Maryland is wiser if not hap
pier man. He arrived here on Tues
day morning with one of his trotting
nags prepared to do up in short or
der everything in the equine species
on Chincoteague. Itwas as he stat
ed not one of his best, and everybody
agreed in few moments after his
arrival that he had brought the
wrong horse with him. Matthews,
with his swifter, was first on the turf
and the distance between his horse
and that of"My Marylandn was soon
so great, that lamp-post was as
likely to be winner as the latter.
Then the veteran turfman of the Is
land. DIR. Smith, tackled" him with
"Gold Dust hitched to heavy day
ton-and in this trial of speed that
Marylander and his steed were rarely
in sight and then at the start. His
lesson in racing on Chincoteague,
was a bitter one, perhaps, but it will
do him good.
