A general alarm of fire was sounded
Tuesday morning at 10. 25 from Ridge
dale avenue, where the house of
Josiah Muir was on fire. The family

partment. How the fire originated is

posed that some leaves that were
burning in the yard set fire to the
rear of the building. The flames
burned the kitchen considerably and
crept to bed room, from thence to
the attic. The firemen finally sue
ceeded in putting the ire out. The
damage, So, 600 to the house and $500

AT THE DRIVING PARK.
Well Bred Steeds with Fast Records
Attract Much Attention.


The announcement that Barney Fl.
Demarest had become the lessee of
the Morristown Driving Park was
received as a piece of good news by
the prominent horsemen of the county.
Already they see for the park bright
future, i'll the fact that the proprietor
being a man of business integrity and
of wide prominence, has opened the
grounds not only for affording public
amusement, but as a business venture.
In view of this the local horsemen are
becoming interested and without a
ouht Morristown, the coming year,
will be the center of big horse meets
that will attract people from miles
around.
Plans have been laid out for running
and trotting races on Decoration Day
and July Fourth. There will also be
grand four days meeting ON October
2, 3, and 8. There will be four
stakes, viz 2. 80 pace, 80 trot, 2.20
trot and q 16 trot, for purses of $500
each. Following this on October 9,
10. II and IL there will be held a
grand horse show, at which costly
premiums will be given the winners
At this early day the grounds st the
park have been so neatly renovated as
to alter the appearance of the place
entirely, and although the season here
for racing has not yet arrived Man
ager Walter Snyder has the track in
such excellent condition. that the local
horsemen go down daily to "jog"
around the course.
Among the noted horses that are
now quartered at the Driving Park is
Kitty Hudson 1871, who last year
| 10 4 h
week entered in the 2.20 stake races
of the Grand Circuit, at Providence,
Hartford and Goshen. Hobart is the
name of pretty 4-year-old who has
no trouble in turning the course in
2.2115 and can do better. In the stall
next is quartered "Linsign, " trot-
ter, who easily goes mile i'll 2. 15M
and will endeavor to pull stake in
the Charter Oak $40. 600 stake race at
Hartford this season. A new addition
to the list of races is Daniel, plump
5-year-old with a record of g. 1715 over
half mile track, is also entered at
Providence and Goshen. Sweet Mash
is another promising steed who holds
record of 2. 1871 and who last year
worked a mile in 2.09. Besides there
is the world famed racing stallion,
Carbon, g. 1914, who is inspected
daily by lovers of horses.
During his experience as a driver
and trainer. Mr.. Demarest during the
past twenty years has driven the
following horses to their records
Puck, 2. TO- Robins, 2.1214; Strontia,
2.134; Charlie G, 21314; Nellie Nc

half mile horse Prince Alert with a
record of Q 05s4 was driven mile at
Buffalo last August by Mr.. Demarest
in 2. 02s4. At Hartford he went a
quarter in 27s4 and an eight in l3
seconds, which was the fastest public
pace ever accomplished.

ABOUT THE BOWLERS.
Capt. voorhees, Team Defeats the Ascot
alton Team Three Straight.

A fine example of discipline was
displayed in the second team Of the
Tapkaow Club in a game against the
second team of the Young Men S
Catholic Association, on the latter S
alleys Tuesday evening, the result Of
of which was that the Y. NJ @. A.
boys were defeated three straight
games. In the first game Doremus, of
the Tapkaow, rolled the ball for 1870
points, thus winning the game. After
performing this feat he complained Of
a lame leg The humane Capt. Voor-
hees, realizing Doremus' value (at
bowling) told him not to bowl hard
the second game; but to let Postmas-
ter Fennell carry him through This
order was explicitly obeyed Doremus
neatly dropping the ball and running
a score of 50, while Fennell did the
elegant by winning the game. For
the postmaster, however, it proved to
be too hard task to be repeated so
Capt. Voorhees, called upon Doremus
again to win the third game, which
he did by making a score of 1876, while
several spectators looked on with
amazement at the wonderful rolling
ability of the coming star. To say
Capt. Voorhees, was pleased at the ex-
hibition would be using a mild ex-
preston, even though the strikes and
spares had all the appearances of hav-
ing been made accidently. The scores
follow.

The New Orleans Picayune of the
3rd inst. commented at length upon
Mr.. Richards who was taken i'll at
the st. Charles Hotel in that city,
from which we quote:
Although not in good health, he
was active, and spent an enjoyable
journey from Hot Springs. However,
the fatigue of the travel came upon
him almost at the instant of entering
the hotel, and, upon being assigned
to as pleasant suite of rooms as
were to be had in the hotel, this
grand old man of Jersey, Immediately
took to his bed. He has never since
been up.
Dr. William e. Parker was sum
moned. Later DR.. Matas was called
in for consultation, and these two
skilled physicians did everything
known to science to stay the rapid
ravage of trouble that had already
fastened itself uDon his system. He
had only recently recovered from an
attack of pneumonia, and when the
physicians found that he was suffer
ing from diabetis in an advanced
stage, which was aggravated by other
complaints, little hope was entertain
! ed for his recovery.

The Rev. DR.. Holloway, Pastor of
the Presbyterian Church, Dover,
N. j.
Dear Brother Unable to be present
at the obsequies of Mr.. Richards, |
desire to bring to your notice a phase
of his many sided character, which
have had the opportunity to observe
in association with him ON the Board
of Managers of the Hospital at Nor
ris Plains.
In an experience ON various boards
have never seen a president so regu-
lar in attendance or more painstaking
and systematic in the transaction of
business. Familiar with his reputa-
ton as a man of multitudinous affairs,
unbounded energy and free expression,
/ expected to find him all that he was
in business and fidelity. That which
most impressed me was to see that he
was as much interested in keeping up
the tone of the institution as he was
in the care of its grounds and build
ings and the regulation of its finances.
Also, / soon found he was as atten-
tive to plans reported to the board for
regular religious services in the chap
ell, arrangements for the decent burial
of patients who died without friends
and to the necessity of guaranteeing
equal privileges to all religious COM
munions represented by any consider
able number of the inmates, as he
was to problems related to the general
management of the vast property and
numerous population of the institu-
ton. AT the dinner provided by the
Warden at the monthly meetings as
President of the Board, with a de-
meanor suited to the act, he indicated
to me to give thanks to God, and
would delay if ] arrived at the table
a moment late. This course he pursued
without an exception for the nearly
seven years in which we were as
ISOLATED in this capacity.
Respectfully and fraternally yours,
J. M. BUCKLEY.
One year ago we gathered here, ON
an occasion similar to this, and babe
farewell to our Lady Bountiful, Mrs.
Richards. Today we lay the cypress
wreath upon all that is mortal of our
Sir Great Heart.
