Frank Reno of Birch creek,
one of the sguarest men of the
county, has been spending the
past two or three days in Market
Lake. He reports that they had
great sport last week at Howe,
on Lost river, while threshing at
JOS. Morgan's. JAS. Haney of
Big Lost river cleaned up from
the Little Lost river boys all
their spare change, horses and
grain on a series of horse races.
In consequence the Big Lost
river boys are jubilant, while
their less fortunate neighbors
are going around with that tired
look upon their countenancas.- =

The dog poisoner is abroad in
our town. Last Thursday four
CANNES turned up their toes to
the daisys." We could spare
493 more.
Messrs. Challis & Sturkey re-
turned from their Stanley Basin
placer mines last week, and will
spend the winter in this vicinity.
The "boys" made a good clean
up during the past season, and
if they have sufficient water next
spring there is no reason why
they should not make still bet
ter run, as the ground is opened
up in better shape than ever. Il
is thought that the source from
which the gold comes from in
Stanley Basin has been discov-
cred at last, it is a large por-
phyry dyke. 1t is thought thai
there will be quite a rush into
the Basin next summer.

TITUS nEGAISs LOST LAURELs.
Wins Two-Miie Handicap From a
Field of Cracks.

New York Sept. 6. Fully 5000 persons
saw Fred Titus, of this city, score an
easy victory in the $4,000 two-mie handi-
cap race at Mania ttan Beach today at the
second days races Of the Quill Club Wheel
men The event was won from some of
the fastest professional riders in this
country and entities the New Yorker to
again class with the first rank men. The
conditions foi racing Were most favora-
bic
TIE interest of the day was centered
in the So 900 race. Bald, at scratch, was
picked to win. His most dangerous COM
petitor was suppos ed to be Howard MoslIer,
on the 160 yard mark, All calculations
were upset, however, although Bald's ad-
mirers were confident up TO the last 100
yards that he would win.
Coming into the home stretch Bald
closed VI considerably, but Titus, holding
his stride in great shape, drew to the
front, rushing down the stretch, with Cole
man Mcfarland Aker and Bald all striv-
ing 10 get the leading position. Titus
crossed the line first, with McF Farland a
close second. Coleman just beat Bald for
third place Titus victory, while unlocked
for, was a popular one. 1t was felt that
Bald waited too long 10 reach the leaders,
otherwise he would have stood an ex-
cellent chance OF taking first money. Gardi
ner did not figure in the finish at all.
When the last rush came he was passed
by rider after rider. He seemed to be
completely fatieued as the result OF
his pacing early IN the race. A ker, the
PhilsdeiplIian, who really pulled Titus up
to his commanding position, was also lost
in the final struggle.
The prize money for the Gay was placed
in chamois bags suspended across the
track during the contest. Titus received
81 900, Mcfarland, $3.50; Coleman, 500
and Bald, $50.

END OF AN OCEAN PROJECT.
Scheme to Rival Cupard Mail Steani-
erS Falls Through.

Montreal, Quebec, Sept. 6.-The Canad-
ian Fast Atlantic line project, whereby
Petersen, TAFT & Co. agreed TO carry
the Canadian mails across the ocean for
a subsidy Of S750,0O0 yearly in ships 10
rival the Cunarders Lucania and Campania,
is dead.
This info rmation is brought from London
by John Torrance, agent of the Dominion
Steamship Line, who states that the
Petersens have utterly failed TO finance
the scheme. The British government S sub
sidy was $25o,00O, the Canadian authori
ties offering S5OO,OO0. The conditions,
however, were too onerous to induce
capitalists to take bold. 1T is reported
that the Canadian government will insti-
tute the service as a government line
rather than abandon the undertaking.
