Well Attended.

Over the Very Interesting Out
of Doors Sport.

There were over two thousand peu-
pie on the Granite city Trotting Park
yesterday and this time they were not
disappointed by the weather for moth
ing was wanting in this line to make
the day successful. The park is a
scene Of amusement whichever way
one turns and although the races form
the center of attraction they are but
small part in the Barre fair.
Many people visited the exhibits of
the Hood farm yesterday and express
sions of appreciation were heard con-
tinually from all sides. Mr.. Hood
was himself present and was busy all
the afternoon conversing With other
lovers Of fine stock as he came in con-
tact with them going through the
tents.
one very noticeable feature Of the
days events was that the people who
are won't to view the races from the
surrounding hills were either at work,
sick or inside the fence. In any one
Of which conditions the park manage

The races were close and exciting
and for the classes that were on the

ROBBERS SMALL BOOTY.
Baltimore and Ohio Company's Safe

ELLICOTT CITY, Nd, Nov 1O--The iron
safe OF the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
station in E!licott City was blown open
Thursday night and robbed of about s25

tanned. No tickets or other vaIuables were
taken, so far as discovered. Baggage Mas
ter James Helm, when he opened the sta
ton at O'Clock yesterday morning, found
the safe scattered in ruins about the floor.
a tremendous explosive must have been
used to cause such havoc. Entrance to
the room was made through the front win
dow of the ticket office, where a hole just
big enough for mans hand was broken
so that the window catch could be reached
The neat manner IL which the robbery
was carried out suggests the work of pro-
fessionals in the business. They applied
dynamite or some other powerful explo-
sive. il is supposed. through the knob hole
OF the safe, as no other opening could be
found IN the plate 1t is also supposed
that the explosion was timed so that the
noise might he drowned By passing

Probably out of their disappointment of
not getting more money from the safe, the
robbers afterward attacked an automatic
weighing machine in which pennies are
dropped by its patrons. The iron plate Of
the apparatus was smashed and the cash
pocket reached in that way There was
not much Of haul for the thieves il This
enterprise, and they next visited and broke

Murray the fiancee of young McFetridge.
She is one of the beauties of Philadelphia.
Her delicately cut features. clear, olive
complexion and violet eyes have often been
admired On the Chestnut Street promenade.
McFetridge is one Of the most familiar fig
ureS about town. handsome blonde, a
faultless dresser. and the pet of rich faith

man and the woman were taken 10 the
Hal1nemann Hospital where II was found

BOXING IN GREATER NEW YORK
Boss Plat said to Have Agreed to n
New Law.

New Law.
NEW YORK. Nov. 10.-There is pos
sibility that boxing will be resumed in
Greater New York shortly after the next
Legislature convenes. but not under the
control Of the clique that virtually mo-
nopolized the game during the existence
Of the Horton law. Several attempts were
made in those happy days by parties with
Republican backing to establish clubs in
this city. After leasing buildings and go
ing to much expense the promoters were
unable TO procure licenses and we're froz-
en- out.
The scheme now is to pass a bill in the
next Legislature that Will keep the box
ing game out of the hands of the SulIi-
an-0'Rourke contingent and give A
chance to a few gentlemen who are
politicians have expressed themselves
openly since election day to the effect
that big percentage of the New York
public want boxing and should be allow

Yes, there is such a plan under con-
sideration, and the prospects are that we
will succeed il our venture. There is no
reason why We shouldn't be allowed to
pull of boxing shows, just like certain
Democratic politicians were permitted to
do. We are confident of being able to get
a bill passed that win give us the power
to pull of fights, beginning in March CT
April
In the meantime the Democratic polit{-

Carnegie's Experiment in the Ship
ment of Steel BiIIets.
AsHTABULA, Ohio, Nov. 10.-The
steamer Monk Haven has just left Con-
neaut, Carnegie's lake port, with a cargo
of steel biiIets for Avonmouth, England
by way of the Lakes and the Welland Ca
nal. This is the first vessel to carry steel
from the Great Lakes to England
The innovation is exciting considerable
comment, as ii means the development of
a new industry not even thought Of a few
years ago in connection with the Lakes.
During two years past large machines
have been erected on the Carnegie docks
to be used exclusively in the handling of
steel rails. Thus far some Of the traffic
has been foreign, but only to Canadian
ports. Even shipments to Canada have
increased materially, and Connesut prom
ises to be as great steel shipping point
as it is an iron ore receiving sharbor.
