Boralina and Lord Derby Are Fit for the Race Saturday.
 Hartford July 31.--Charter Oak park, th's
 morning is in condition to work over for
 speed. It Is the first time in many days, as the alternating storms, with momentary
 glimpses of the sun, kept It's surprise Tn such condition that to speed work outs
 meant possibly the running of valuable horses.
 It Is an unusual thing to get two horses
 to the wire in perfect racing form. Such is the condition of Lord Derby and Boralina to-day, however. Their workouts of We'd
 nesday afternoon were easy miles for these horses, but the track was slow owing to the severe storm of the previous day BOrama worked his mile in 2:12 with q last quarter in 3t seconds. Lord Derby, driven by George Spears, stepped the mile in 2:12h, and his last quarter In 31A seconds. Many. of the noted turfmen of the country will be present: Among the num- Der who have already telegraphcd for boxes
 are ex-Secretaries of the Navy R. r. Tracy and W. C. Whitney. The former is well
 known in light harness circles as breeder of trotters and the Hon. w. c. Whitney
 is an owner, breeder and racer of thorough, breds.
 The special train which leaves New YorI;
 at 10:55 Saturday morning will bring many
 admirers of the thoroughbreds to see tue great harness horses compete.

FIRE IN BRIDGEPORT.

Damage to the Amount of $S0.000 Done
 in an Automobile Station.
 Bridgeport, July 31.-Three alarms of fire were sent in at 130 o'clock this af- ternoon, calling out the entire depart ment to extinguish a blaze which start ed in the automobile station on Cannon street and spread to an adjoining build- ing.
 The automobile station is two-story building used for storing the machines and supplies of the Bridgeport Automo- bile club, and contained large supply of gasoline shortly before 80 slight explosion was heard, and soon flames were seen breaking out from the build ing.
 The fire department responded promptly, but on account of the intense heat was able to save but a few of the automobiles. A few light vehicles were taken out, but 1t is believed that fifteen very heavy machines, ranging in value from S2,500 to $4,000 each, were entirely destroyed by the flames. A conserva- tive estimate places the loss at $30,O00, including the machines.
 Frank Noonan, a fireman connected with No. engine company, was knock ed from a ladder by falling piece of timber. which struck him on the head. His scalp was cut open and he was re- moved to hospital
 The fire was under control at 2:30 this aft ernoon.

Big Statue on Capital Dome to be Ex-
 amined-May be Illuminated.
 The Genius of Connecticut, sur be growing uneasy on her high perch so far from terra firma and evinces disposition to use her bronzed wings to some advantage It is stated that she is given to moving about instead of remaining quietly in her place as her designers and the builders of the states architectural pride intended. Tn other
 words the big bronze statue is said to
 be a little insecure upon its founda-
 tions. It is thought that possibly the bolts holding 1t in place on it's pedestal may be slightly worn or rusted.
 An examination regarding the mat ter is to be made by direction of Comp troller Chamberlain, shortly, with a view to remedying the trouble. In connecticut with this examination President Dunham of the Hartford
 Electric Light Company, has offered to furnish Genius with a rousseau of electric lamps of different cOlors, so that she may show up to equal advan- tage with the dome when illuminated. This would put the finishing touch to the beautiful sight which so many thousand are now privileged to gaze
 upon each week day night, but which,
 because of the lack of it, is considered by many to be incomplete. President Durham states that the work would be done at the company's expense.
