wALTHoUR SAILS FOR EUROPE
Speedy Cyclist Will Try Again at the
Foreigners.

Bobby Walthour has sailed for Eu-
rope to again try his speed against
the foreign cracks whom he disposed
of so easily during his trip abroad
last spring The star member of the
Columbia racing team, who is the ac-
knowledged middle distance and long
distance champion of the world, will
race on the French and German tracks
and viii return in November to COM
pete in the New York six day race
which he won last year.
Accompanying Walthour, on the
Deutschland when she sailed We're Eli
Winsett. his manager, Franz Hoffman,
his pacemaker, Bob Shultz, another
motor man, and Basil De Guichard,
the stocky built French lad who has
been racing in this country for the
past three years.
During the past season, Walthour
competed In thirty races, losing but
one, and then only because his tire
punctured when he was a few miles
in the lead He holds the worlds rec
ord of LOS 1-5 for mile behind pace
and has travelled SO miles in the hour
Incidental to the agita ton over the
rates of hire for public automobiles
1t is interesting to note that there has
been recently a big turnover in the
New York policy with regard to cleo
trio cabs and other vehicles operated
in that city for a number of years.
Owing to the high rate of fare the
electric vehicle has, up to the present
comparatively wealthy. The fact that
the business was a new one, and the
company was spending time and mon
ey perfecting its system and the char
acter of its vehicles, has prevented a
reduction to the popular level.

Secretary Horace Wilson stated to-
day that work upon the reconstruction
of the barns and stables would begin
at once, although they would be re-
built with a view to minimizing any
further risk of fire. 1t is the intention
of the association to provide the
grounds with more perfect fire fight
ing apparatus of its own hereafter.
This is the third time that latter
sails has been destroyed by fire. Thir-
teen years ago the building was Quilted
and on the Night of August 10, 1901,
it was again the victim of flames. One
peculiar coincidence with each of the
fires, including that of last night, is
that each time it occurred after dark
on a Saturday night and just in adj
vance of a big fair.

NINETEEN HORSES LOST
BY the Destruction of TattersaITs
Barn by Fire.


Lexington, Ky, Aug. 17.-With the
dawn of day the thousands of people
who had hung about the scene of the
confiagration at the local trotting
track discovered that the havoc
wrought by the ravaees of the fire
dend were greater than at first sup
posed, although the money loss, it is
estimated, will slightly exceed the sum
of 100000, with less than SO per
cent of insurance carried on the de-
vastated property.
The fire is now known to have had
its origin from the spontaneous COM
bustion of a quantity of new hay
which had been packed in the loft
joining the big Tatterstalls barn. 1t
was first discovered by Robert More
land, who devoted his =. attention to
cutting loose the 200 horses -Quartered
in the stables, so that the flames had
gained a rapid Roadway before the
fire alarm was sent in. Thousands of
people have visited the scene today.
The property destroyed covered ten
acres of ground at the front entrance
to the trotting track. upon which were
stabbed upward of 400 valuable horses,
and fully $50 men are thrown out of
employment. Through the partial de-
struction of the Curry hotel, famous
hosiery which has sheltered thous-
ands of we'll known horsemen, four
teen families have been rendered
homeless and their furniture, with
Upon making an investigation this
morning the carcasses of nineteen
horses, all crisped and charred, were
found in the ruins. Eight of these
were in the stable of Matt Cohen,
eight belonged to Ward Lutes and
three to t. o. Hargis. They were all
of the roadster and carriage variety, of
a high quality, while the trotters and
PAGERS in the stables of Bowerman,
Curry, Beachey, Evans and Hussey
were saved.
Many of the frightened animals that
were driven out of the barn last night
galloped for miles into the country
and gangs of men are now picking
them up, although a number are still
missing. Several of the horses that
have been recovered were found to be
more or less injured through being
kicked, scorched and caught in the
stampede
The estimates of the respective loss
es are as follows: S. T. HARRISON &

Jeffries Does Not Care to Train Near
Big City

San Francisco, Aug. 17.-Everybody
was looking for Kid Mccoy today, but
up until a late hour he had not put
in his appearance at the training camp
on the beach. The Kid is expected
every hour. and he will make his
headquarters at Munroe'S camp until
the day of the fight. On the night of
the contest he will sit in the miners
corner and tell him how to go about
the job of whipping Jim Jeffries. Mum
roe did a long days work today and
is reported to be ready for action at
any time.
Manager Jimmy Coffroth has sent
word to Jim Jeffries to get ready to
come to town, but it is not thought
that the big boiler maker will obey
the command of the club official. To
a friend who recently visited him at
his training place jeff said that he was
in no hurry to leave and would re-
main at Hardin as long as possible

away from the eyes of the curious,
and it's a long journey from Middle

dislikes the idea of every Tom. Dick

dows or standing around with open
mouths, watching every move he
makes. For that reason he will stay

Oldest pitcher in minor league service
