A BIG "FRosToUAkE"
Brighten the People Of Attleboro and
Cracks the Earth.

Attieboro. Mass. Jan. 2e.--The residents
Of the southern portion of Attleboro were
thrown into a state of excitement. early
today. by an internal disturbance accom-
panied by a single report which sounded
like the booming of heavy artillery. The
dwellin gs in the locality of the disturbance
were shaken violently and their sleeping
OCCUPANTS aroused. There was much con-
sternation and many ran into the streets
in the belief that burglars had invaded
the town.
The earth's crust from a point in the
rear of Caleb Parmenter's house on Pine
street to the south and east across Or
ange street and through the wood and
to South Main street was broken by the
convulsion. In some places the crack in
the ground was an inch IN width and i'm
others 1t was much wider.
Shortly after the first rumblngs the
crack was seen to close This was follow
ed by a shower which filled the creyice
SO that 1T was not noticeable in the high
ways.

At The COLOSSEUM

What could be more alluring than the
fine races scheduled for tonight at the
Providence Colosseum, when three or the
nluckiest riders that ever visited the
citv clash I'm a twenty-mile go. They are
Nalson. Lawson and Leander, all of
whom are exceedingly popular here.
Further than this, they will be paced by
three OF the most celebrated motor op-
orators the country contains, and thus
the interest of the event will be
double character and its attractveness
all the more pronounced.
The amateur races will include fve-
mile open and a two-mile handicap, In
both of which the best men TO be secur-
ed will appear.
Bobby Walthour. a favorite here, and
Harry Caldwell. also immensely popular
will come together Wednesday night at
the Colosseum by virtue OF special ar
raneement reached after some difficulty.
Col Wendelschaefer desired this week
10 give his multitude OF patrons one OF
the most attractive cards he could de-
wise. and happily he hit on the idea OF
getting these two famous pedalers for
the motor-paced contest.
AS result, people who go 10 the Col
osacum Wednesday night will witness
one Of the prettiest fights behind pace
that has been enjoyed this year. The
boys are full OF gimp and ginger this
sea son. and there Is just enough genuine
rivalry between them, aside from the al
ways present desire Of winning every
race possible. to give their encounter q
tinxe OF excitement. And there is nc
doubt that IL will be a race crowded with
exciting developments. for the pace will
be sharp and killing from the start
Caldwell. flushed with success after his
defeat of Champion after no other racer
could accomplish the feat. will endeavor
10 take waithour into camp as conclu'
sively. and, devoid OF interruptions. the
struggle will be worth going miles TO see
In a two-mile handicap and five-milt
open race the amateurs will have two
contests OF especial excellence.

SAD SONGS
YESTERDAY
DrsaTy Day at Shore Resorts
Though Regulars PatronIzsd
Indoor Attractions Extensively

The stormy Sunday which was ushered
in yesterday. coming as II did so near
the seasons end. was a rather dreary
day down the river and the transportation
lines and the proprietors OF the various
outdoor attractions did not have 10 put
in any over time counting receipts or
hustle round to get extra help.
There was. Of course. the usual num-
ber whom rain would not daunt but IL
was not these that the proprietors had
counted, so a good round sum had TO go
down on the loss column. The indoor re-
sorts at Crescent Park were quite busy.
where at least one excursion party made
merry and the clam dinner was as good
as ever and the Arts and Crafts exhibit
tion had its usual patronage, for rain
would not interfere with the nejoyment of
the many things TO be seen there.
Jim Key was as usual prime favorite
and the Rivers OF Venice, Wonder World
and other indoor attractions claimed
their share.
That the public is learning that a wet
Sunday at the Point is by no means a
disappointing day, was plainly evident
from the unexpectedly large crowds that
enjoyed the attractions there yesterday.
There Is a very large ana sensipie per-
centage OF people who consider day $
pleasure and entertainment worth maxi
ing a little effort for. especially those
wishing TO escape the monotony OF pass
ing an August Sunday housed up indoors.
Quite naturally IL was deemed wise 10
postpone the ball game, but there was
much to Offset this unavoidable disap-
pointment: there was the ever delightful
shore dinner. the Casino and dozen
other pastimes and enJoyments. The
Casino show alone doubly repaid every
body who saw II. Tuesdays papers will
contain full review OF the splendid per-
formance. 1t is the very best OF the sea
son, everybody was saying
II is expected that every day from
now till Labor day will be unusually In
teresting and vast crowds are booked on
the excursion lists.
For good dinners, either rain or shine,
Fields Point keeps up its reputation and
Colonel Atwell disappointed no one even
IL the crowd was not as large rs some
other Sunday.
At Boyden Heights the o'clock bake
as we'll as the regular afternoon bakes
had their share OF the patronage, despite
the cold easterly storm, but the enthu-
siasm of the sunshine was lacking.

A SEA6OIN6 STEAMER.

The steamer New Shoreham has again
demonstrated her great seagoing quail
ties by going from Providence 10 Block
sessed too much force for any other ves-
sci to undertake the trip. She brought
away some 800 storm-b bound guests at the
hotels, and made record time, arriving at
her dock at the foot OF Transit street
shortly after o'clock Sunday evening.
The vessel pfoughed her way through
the heaviest billows that any OF the pa
irons of the line have ever witnessed. and
many OF them have been going to the
island for number OF years. Capt.
Dodge may we'll feel proud OF his boat.
for there is probably no vessel on the
coast that is more staunch and swift in
heavy seas. The passengers we're very
appreciative OF the opportunity to leave
the island. as many were booked TO meet
business engagements that were impor-
tant. Their loud praise of the captain
and his crew was interesting 10 listen TO.
The special excursion 10 Montauk Point
will take place next Sunday.
