HERo1sM OF A WOMAN.
A Chariot Race Finally Results In
SmnSh-Up.

A Chariot Race Finally Results in
smaSh-Up.
Boston Herald: A terrible scene came
near happening at the performance OF
the Forepaugh & Sells Bros, circus In
Lynn last evening. For time the TO-.
900 people who occupied seats beneath
the immense canvas were in an awful
state Of suspension. The scene took
place about the time of the chariot races
which brought the show to close. Two
charlots, one driven by man, Sig. Far
ina, and the other by woman, whose
name could not be learned, were drawn
by four horses when the race started
Sig. Farina had the pole, with his fellow
rider closely following him.
At the first turn on the track the horses
were going at terrific speed, when sud-
denly from among the clouds of dust
which the flying steeds created the form
of a man was seen to so into the air, the
chariot overturn and one of the horses
fall upon Its side. In an instant thera
was an uproar in the vast arena.
The great audience, fearful of the mad
dened horses, which by this time had
started arond the temporary track with
out a driver, arose In their seats and
started for places of safety. The ring
masters and other employees of the show
yelled at the tops of their voices to the
almost panlc-stricken crowd to keep
their seats. Others made frantic but
vain efforts to catch the horses, and I:
seemed as though every moment they
would plunge into the crowd.
The woman driver had by this time
realized the danger of the situation. She
saw at n glance that another quick turn
In the track meant death TO hundreds Of
people, while to stop her own vehicle
meant possible death to her. She chose
the latter, however, and by a quick
movement drove her horses directly in
front OF the runaways and prevented
their going further.
SO quickly was the deed done that the
large crowd was hardly aware of It. and
when they did realize 1t they broke forth
In great cheer which was re-echoed
time and again as the plucky woman
rider drove around the course In the
race which followed.
Sig. Farlna was thorwn quite a dis.
lance, landing In the audience but was
slightly Injured. After medical treatment
he finished and won the race

a wholesale dealer in such articles to

There are many other parts of western
Maine, also, where the industry is i'm

in that part OF the state which are kept
busy all the year round saving white
birch logs into strips four feet long and
from one to two inches wide and of the
same thickness, These strips are sent
to the spool factories, where they are
quickly worked into spools by the most
ingenious laber-saHing machinery.
THE strips of white birch are fed into
one machine, and they are not touched,
in fact, are hardly seen again, until the
spools. all finished for market, except
polishing, drop out by the bushel from
another machine several rods away
from where the strips started In. The
