HUO OTHER amusement enterprise
EMl of its cost and character has
uW ever propagated so fast or
spread so rapidly over the coun-
try as the quasi -public function of the
horse show. Ten years ago the coun-
try was in dense ignorance of what
constituted horse show, except in the
confines of New York and vicinity,
where the annual horseS show of the
National Horse Show association had
been taking place for a number of
years at Madison Square garden. Chi
cago had some feeble attempts to
emulate the National horse show, but
with little or no success.
The middle West, the North, the
South had never seen a horse show,
and sonly heard of it vaguely as
splendid entertainment given in New
York city where the principal subject
catalogued in the daily press in con-
nection with it was the extraordinarily
gorgeous gowning of the 400" who
attended. AS to the part the horses
played in the social function few could
state succinctly, but the general idea
prevailed that it was sort of society
circus, wrere fat dapple gray nags gal
Hoped around in the sawdust, jumped
through hoops of fire, and carried bril-
liantly dressed bareback riders through
the evolutions of a musical march.
The first indoor horse show origi-
mated, it can be truthfully said, in
November 1896, in ST. Louis, in the old
temporary convention hall at Twelfth
and Market streets, put up originally
to house the national Democratic con-
vention. But the germ of the Western
horse show came to life the year before
in Kansas City, in October, 1895, where
A. E. Ashbrook, then trotting horse
enthusiast and now the big horse show
exhibitor, gave single handed the first
horse show ever put on in open air III
the West at Paramount park, six miles
from the city proper.
st. Louis took the fever the following
season and got A. E. Ashbrook to give
the show under the management of
we'll known amusement firm. The
weather was atrocious, cold and rainy.
But the show pleased nevertheless; the
merry jingle of the pole chains of the
prancing pairs assuaged the cold, the
tandems were sufficiently novel to
make buds and dowagers forget numb
fingers and toes, and the novelty of
seeing ones brougham up for display
and ribbon was so unusual, don't
you know?" that society stuck to it

agement of the we'll remembered John
Sixty-third street Coliseum.
In the meantime, dating back about
five years from the present writing, a
host of open-air Eastern summer shows
came into existence. Atlantic City,
Long Branch, Bay Shore, Tuxedo,
Westchester, Bar Harbor, White
Plains, Brockton, have since been an

Cats.

During the recent fire at Treadwell it was hardly to be expected that such an insignificant creature as cat would receive special attention and be the ob- ject of special care aud solicitude on the part of any one. But now after the confusion has thoroughly subsided, it develops that pussy played quite a prominent part.
 One lady had muslin bag, all pre- pared with draw string, into which pussy was to go should the flames ap- proach too near.
 Two pretty little tabby cats that made their home in the Y. M. c. A building were probably offered up as a living sacrifice, when that building burned.
 One cat, whose home was bnrned, es- caped, but singed her fur badly while mournfully viewing the smoking ruins.
 Still another lived in house that was deserted by the other occupants. Pussy stayed right there, and when her master and mistress returned, pussy was raging mad. In evidence of her temper, her fur all stood on end.
 A Douglas lady was out in the wind when stray cat took fancy to her and followed her home. She is now making study of how to get rid of that cat.

Another Fire.

It again becomes our duty to chron- icle a fire on Douglas Island. Last Sunday morning at o'clock, the say age clang of the fire alarm and the mournful below of the big Treadwell whistle called the frightened people from their beds to the stern realization that once again life and property were iD danger from fire.
 "Where is it" was the question that sprang to the lips of every man, woman and child, and many breathed sigh of relief when it was found that the flames were only leaping up the hillside above the hospital among the stumps.
 But this feeling of relief gave place to one of anxiety when the realization came that the entire line of buildings from the hospital to the 300 mill were in danger. It was then that not only the men and boys, but women and girls, showed their real grit. With buckets, axes and shovels they turned in and fought like demons.
 The Douglas Hose companies ran their carts down the narrow track, and joined the Treadwell companies.
 AS the fire surged up to the old Bears Nest mill everybody realized that if that caught not only the adjoining buildings but the 300 mill would be burned. Exertions were redoubled and the fire was turned at this point.
 At ' o'clock a second alarm brought reenforcements and after two hours more of hard work the last spark was extinguished and the people returned to their homes.
 NOTES.
 The good people of Douglas Island may now unpack their trunks.
 The Indians took lively hand in the scrimmage last Sunday morning, and did good execution.
 The lumber piles at the saw mill were pretty badly scattered by the wind Saturday night.
 Carl Erickson was laid up for a couple of days as result of exposure during the fire Sunday morning.
 The high winds played havoc with the telephone and electric light wires, especially in the neighborhood of the saw mill.
 During the recent cold snap, and in consequence of the scarcity of water, a great many people have been forced to defer their annual bath.
 Buildings on the Bears Nest prop erty belonging to the Treadweil com pany are being torn down, to prevent a recurrence of the danger of last week.
 Douglas City can be proud of her fire boys, and the orderly and quiet manner in which they carried out the commands of their officers last Sun day morning.
 Water is now selling in Douglas at Sl.0O per barrel, for culinary purposes. The sea pump at the Natatorium is in shape to furnish it at a much lower rate in case of fire.

BOATS CRASH In fOC
Norwich Liner City Of Lowell
Sank Columbia.
GOODNESS AND NERVE SAVED ALL.
Both Steamers Had Slowed Down as
Haze Obscured Everything ON the
River-TwO Men Injured,
Nine Horses Lost.


NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-Nearly cut in
two by the sound steamer City OF
Lowell of the Norwich line, the ferry
boat Columbia was sunk in the East
river during dense fog just before
the usual morning rush of passengers
came on.
About 100 passengers were put In
peril of drowning by the collision, but
the sound liner stood by and took
them off the ferryboat, landing them
near Atlantic avenue, Brooklyn.
William Lester. twenty-nne years
old, and Buck Jones, colored passen-
gers on the Columbia, We're injured.
Lester was in the cabin and was
caught in the wreckage. Two of his
ribs were broken. while Jones received
painful Commissions of the left arm and
back.
On the runways of the ferryboat
were nine horses, which went down
with the craft. struggling frantically
as they drowned.
The Columbia shortly after I o'clock
left her slip at Brooklyn bound for
Wall street. and was near her Manhat-
tan slip when the huge bulk of the
Lowell doomed up alongside, coming
through the fog at half speed. The
steamer was too near to be stopped in
time to prevent a collision Almost
at the instant the larger boat was
seen she struck the ferryboat Il terrific
blow just aft of the starboard paddle
box.
There was panic aboard the CO.
lumbia. fnen and women running about
screaming and crying frantically for
help as the boat began to fill on the
starboard side and list heavily. The
Lowell did not back away, but kept
her nose in tie rent in the smaller
craft, preventin. her sinking.
The crew of tie Lowell were quick
to see the danger. Hawsers We're
thrown to the Columbia, and the pas
sengers of the ferrybOat scrambled to
the upper deck and then over the rail
of the sound steamer
Every one of the passengers were
transferred while the Lowell drifted
with the Columbia to near Atlantic
avenue, where the frightened ferry
passengers were landed.
Just as the last passenger scrambled
aboard the Lowell the hawsers parted,
the ferry boat having become too
heavy for the ropes to stand the strain.
The crew, which had stuck to the
Columbia. clambered aboard the Lowell
as the ropes snapped and were landed
with the passengers.
The Columbia drifted a little closer
toward the shore and sank within fifty
feet Of the end Of the long pier of the
Union Ferry company.
