BANANAS IN A BLIZZARD.

Combination Which Excited the RIsibIIi-
ties of Some Street hallway Men.
Two Italians were trudging down the
street-car tracks under the South side
elevated road in Chicago during the
blizzard the other day. Great clouds of
snow were swept by them by the wind,
SO that half the time they were invisible
or only dimly outlined two blocks
away. The tracks were covered faster
than the sweepers could clear them
. and the cars had time of it in getting
along. Each Italian had huge basket
of bananas on his head, protected from
the unfriendly elements by q piece of
oilcloth, apd trudged along in the teeth
of the blast as serenely as if he were un-
der the skies of Italy, and the bowling
northwester was summer zephyr from
summer seas.
An employe of the street car compa-
ny, strapping big fellow with seven
league boots on, faced about for mo-
ment to let his back stand the brunt of
the storm for awhile, and in doing SO
caught sight of the two banana mer-
chants. Immediately his half-frozen
features relaxed into broad grin, and,
turning to the other men who were
at work with him, he shouted:
'Say, boys! look at them Eyetalians
with their banans. 1 guess we amt
got no kick comm"
All the men joined in the laugh, and
after few moments returned to their
I work much relieved by this little di-

SNOW MADNESS.
Awful Eject OF the Beautiful Upon Peo-
pie Way Down South.

PIE way Down South.
Any person who has lived in countries
where snow is an ordinary circumstance
and condition of the winter season
must, If he had witnessed the extraordi-
nary behavior of the people of New Or
leans in the snowstorm, have been
thoroughly astonished, says the New
Orleans Picayune.
The falling of the feathery flakes
seemed to have operated on the people
like wine, and from the highest to the
lowest, young and old, grave and gay,
the dignified and the comical, reveled
in the unwonted conditions and fell to
pelting each other with snowballs as if
they had been a gang of schoolboys.
The result of this midwinter mad
ness was. that every person who passed
along the streets was numerically
pelted, and in many cases no considera-
tion was shown to age, sex or condition.
There were men who were posted at
street corners with magazines of snow
balls ready to fall upon the unwary
passenger, whether on foot or in vehi-
cles.
Many Of these balls had been dipped
in water and compressed until they
were solid Jumps of ice, and when they
struck a victim about tine head and face
inflicted severe injury. One gentleman
who was passing on Gravier street,
near the Citizens bank, got blow in
the eye which may cost his sight, and
many others were knocked down and
otherwise injured. Glasses in windows
of houses, of street cars and of private
carriages were broken by the volleys of
ho1 fn oSt
The people afflicted with this snow
madness, although many were respect
able citizens, did not seem to realize
tht-t they were violating private rights
or disturbing the peace, or, if they did,
they were too intent on making the
most of an opportunity which occurs
only at long intervals to pelt all COM
ers without fear of punishment, to
care.
In countries where snow is common
every winter there are ethics of snow
balling, just as well as of any other
sport or business. There the fun is
only indulged in between friends and
acquaintances who consent to liberties
taken, while to strike stranger or an
unwilling person with a SNOWFALL is as
much an assault as would be striking
with stone. Of course some allow
ance must be made here for the ex-
traordinary excitement caused by so
rare an occurrence as a snowfall, but
even the maddest of the revelers ought
to understand that ball of ice or one
mixed with mud, Jumps of coal and
oyster shells is capable Of inflicting q
serious wound upon the head and face,
and the deliberate use of such missiles
is more like an act of malice than sport.

fsPECIAL TO THE PREss.1
Saco. August 21.-This afternoon at the
county fair was crowded full of horse
races, the sport beginning promptly at
and the colts coming out for their final
half mile just as the sun was going out
of sight.
The races were all interesting, and one
of them was decidedly sensational,a a horse
that had taken two heats very handily,
and was regarded as a likely winner.
being shut out behind the distance flag
in the final heat.
The unfortunate author of that peform-
ance was Nat How,.a bay gelding owned
and driven, ,by7Byron 6. Kimball of Brad
ford, Mass. He is a flve-year-old by Ben
Franklin, and he ended last season s
sport with record of seven winnings out
of 10 races entered Today's was his Sec
ond race this year; took second money
at North Berwick a week..ago.
He had things about his own way in
the first two miles, except that Mahlon
Jordan'ss Ned Allen was continually at
his. sulky wheels. The next time this
Cornish gelding pulled off heat in
2. 80 1-2. In the fourth heat he might
have finished the race if be had not got
shut into pocket. In pulling out he
lost ground and had to trail the whole
field under the wire.
The fifth heat was big surprise. Jor-
dan sent his gelding twice around the
at the very start, when the other heat
winner struggled minute for the lead.
On the back stretch Nat How out him
self in the forward leg and fell to the
rear. His driver tried hard to keep up
with the procession, but was forced to
experience the ignoming Of having the
scarlet flag Haunted in mis- face.
The 2. 40 PAGERS made better time than
the trotters were able to In the face OF
the stiff northwest breezes. Ho lister,
a gelding from Ashuelot, N. H., got hi 8
first pacing mark of 2. .29 IA in winning
this race. He took it in straight heats,
fought out his claim with the best of his
competitors and in every finish had speed
to spare. Hollister d year ago was
blooming trotter with record Of 2. 81 IA,
made at Providence. Today's was his
a little mare owned by John RouIllard
of Biddeford, ,paced. .tnree pretty miles and
was clearly. entitled to the second larg
est slice of the purse.
Two Portland three-year- -olds fought
out the colt race and spit it up into a
four heat affair j. F. Barrett drove his
Emma Westland winning mile, but was
unable to keep up the clip that +. O..
Conant's Sunset X. cut out for him in
the next three half mile heats. Emma
Wilkes's sulky went to smash in the final
heat giving the driver a tumble, but he
escaped serious injury.
Tomorrow events will include sprint
race, and two horse races, one open to
2 19 trotters and q 90 PAGES; the other for

No One Was Killed.
Chicago, % August 21.-The Coliseum
building, great open structure whlch
is being erected on block bounded
by Hope and Stony Island avenues and
63d street and 62d streets, was wrecked
tonight at 4. 80 by the collapse OF the iron
roof. If the disaster had occurred
little earlier there would have been
great loss of life as so men had just quit
work. Barnum's 8 circus was to open the
building September 2 So far as known
no one was killed. When the great iron
arches began to break from the fasten-
ings the strain was too much for their
low walls Of pressed brick and with
deafening sound the mass of iron carried
with it the four walls in heap and
the work of destruction was complete.
The loss will..be nearly $780, 200. Last
week three workmen were killed in the
building by the falling of an iron beam.
