All this morning strings of horses
have been entering the annual exposi-

horses, little horses, high steppers.
Jumpers and heavy draft horses, blue
blooded and plebian all entering to-
gether, have been assigned their places
and everyone anxiously awaits the
opening Of what promises to be the
most successful show ever given in
Wilmington.
The entry lists fairly bristle with
prize-winning steeds, ami visitors who
own the horses are arriving on every
train, and are going to the park to see
that the grooms and stablemen are busy
putting the finishing touches on the
animals.
Some of the famous horses known to
Wilmington followers that will be
shown are Allie Nun, the prize winner
of +. T. Stotesberry's stable. Allie Nun
is a particular favorite here because

Number Of Dead Matter Of Guess.
Leading men have made a careful
examination of the flood and all its
conditions, and as a result of their in
vestigation they give $50 as the prob
able number of lives lost. A more
conservative estimate places the num-
Der of dead at 175. The higher number
is as apt to be correct as the lower.
The number of dead is merely a matter
OF guess. Twenty members Of rescuing
parties tell of how they saw people
drop from houses to be swept away by
the fiood. and others tell Of men who,
terrified at the approach of the fire,
dropped into the water, where they
sank and did not reappear,
InE estimated number Of dead does
not include the large number classed
as missing, who cannot otherwise be
accounted for. Neither does it include
the number who are supposed to have
lost their lives in the fire. In the lat
ter class there IS absolutely no means
Of arriving at even an approximate
number of victims. Less than so bodies
OF the victims have been found. Where
the rest are nobody can tell. When
the waters shall have receded the bod
les doubtless will be found at different
places miles down the stream.
The water is so high and the cur
rent so strong that all that can be
done now is to rescue those in the
buildings surrounded by water Two
little steam launches are now putting
up and down the river, picking up sur
vivors. A wire cable has been stretch
ed across the Kansas avenue bridge.
To this will be attached sand dip,
and refugees will be brought across
in this. If the food shall continue to
recede there need not necessarily be a
much larger loss of life.
