A R1pERLEss HORSE WON.
Wells Streets Sensational Run in the
Fourth Race at New Orleans.

Fourth Race at New Orleans.
New Orleans. Dec. 1s.-In the fourth
race a handicap for all ages, Wells
Street finished first by two lengths, with
Sam Lazarus second. This is, perhaps
the last time Wells Street will ever
finish in front of such field. He only
did so today because he lost his rider
shortly after the start.
After trailing the others to the stretch,
he saved ground in the turn and, passing
the leaders. won easily. The books,
however. paid off on Sam Lazarus, who
was the lukewarm favorite. Wells Street
ran three miles further before he was
stopped. Beyond this incident there was
very little about the program that was
interesting.
Jockey Coombs, who shot at Bob Isom,
the locker-tender, last week, was fined
500 by the stewards for exhibiting a
deadly weapon. The courts decided that
Coombs was justified in his deed and that
is why more severe measures were not
taken by the stewards. Summary
First race-SellingS mile and twenty
wards. Pinkey Potter, to l, won; Trav-
eler second; Can-I-See-' En-, third. Time,
1:53 1-2.

The lady in the railway car would have

genuine good time would fit him. The am
bition to drill him into unfagging self con-
seriousness had met with obvious and pa
thetic success. He sat with his neck
stretched out to keep from wrinkling his
lace collar. The novel which his mother
read was one of the most recent and pom
derous. The title, in large gilt letters, was
turned toward the aisle as she held it be
fore her, turning the pages with suspicious
pane. so that the boy could not look out of

As she paused to consider her threat the

''I'll open that window and toss you out

His eyes grew big with dread, and in

studied with much interest by the ma
val officers here. Great surprise was
expressed at the extent of the wreck
and the vast mass of steel and iron
heaped in the forward part of the ship
was particular object of attention.
The experts who had first ventured
the theory of a bursting boiler as the
cause OF the destruction claim to find
strong reinforcements in the pictures
for that belief. The great mass of
metal appears to be thrown up over
the boiler space and not over the for
ward magazine, while the forcing
apart of the forward body of the hull,
they say, might have been accom-
plished by the enormous expansive
power of the huge pressure steam car
ried in these boilers with their shells
more than an inch thick As to what
caused a boiler to explode; whether a
disguised bomb in the coal, low water
or faulty construction, they do not now
undertake to say.

secretary referred with satisfaction to
the dispatch stating that the court of

day. The plan had been for the court
to meet first at Key West and, after
doing such work as was possible there,
to proceed to Havana. But Mr. Long
