CRESCENT PARK CYCLING.
BOWDEN DEFEATED SCOTT AND
M'DUFFEE BY WHIRL WIND SPRINT
McDufiee Established q Worlds Record For a
Four Lap One Mile Track.

A card of professional and amateur races
was given at Crescent park track yester-
day. About 5000 persons witnessed the
sport.
The striking feature of the day devel-
,oped In the professional races. In the mile
open Joe Bowden, the little flyer OF Provi-
dence, sprung one OF his whirlwind
sprints and left McDuffee and Scott stand
ing still, winning out bya good 10 lengths.
The best performance was witnessed
when Eddie McDuffee rode the mile handi-
cap In 2m. 8 Abs. from scratch, winning by
a good length and making worlds rec
ord for a mile handicap on four-lap
track.
The pursuit race between Monte Scott
and Becker, the Californian wonder, was a
splendid feature of the days sport
Scott had the pole in front OF the grand
stand, and Becker was placed on the eighth
opposite.
At the pistol shot the men started cir
cling the track In the same direction.
They rode the first two laps very even.
AS the men circled round about half q
Jap apart, 1t might be noticed that while
Becker was working he was not showing
his exertion 30 much as Scott.
At the mile Scott had made big gain
on Becker and at the two miles he was In
the straights with him. Then, although
Becker seemed to still struggle Scott had
him practically caught.
At the end of the second mile he made
rush, and In the first quarter OF the third
mile he ran up and overhauled Becker,
winning amid great excitement.

Many Alarms Were Rung
in, But Little Damage
Was Done.
Former Building of the White
Rose Washing Powder
Company Burned.
FiREMEN KEPT ON THE JUMP.
Nine Alarms Were Responded to, Bat The
Blaze In Every Instance Was Of
An lncipient Nature.

The burning OF the old paper mill In the
rear OF No. u East avenue, used az store
house by +. Eugene Barker and Company,
furnished the first illumination on the
night before the 4th. A little before 8
o'clock an alarm from box called the
firemen to what under less prompt action
might have been a serious confiagratiop,
for In moment the building was I'm q
mass OF flames and smoke poured from the
upper windows In volumes.
Four streams OF water from East avenue
and two from Main street were turned on,
and in about an hour the blaze WAS ex-
tinguished. The result Is almost q total
loss. the contents of the ware rehouse, VAL
ued at about $500, were fully insured in
the companies represented by Starkweather
& Shepley and Henry T.. Watjen.
The origin of the fire is not known, but
it is thought that fireworks ignited paper
in refuse box, and as the building Is old
and is soaked with grease, having been
formerly used by the White Rose Washing
Powder Co. for the manufacture Of soap,
1t was more than commonly infammable.
