ROSEM0UNT
QUIET INTERRUPTED ONLY
BY VISIT OF
AN AMATEUR REFORMER
Judge Parker Made a
Record Swim,

Rosemount, Esopus, Aug. 26.-Thc
only visitor at Rosemount today was
John Brooks Leavitt, New York law
yer and amateur political reforme;.
There was nothing epoch-making In
kir. Leavitt's call and he did not stay
long. The rest of the day Judge Parl:-
er spent in his study at work upon a
never ending correspondence, as we'll as
a slight amendment of his letter Of a
ceptance which will be made public
about a week after President Roosd
velts appears.
William F. Sheehan, who was expect
ed to come up from New York tonight
to tell the nominee of the New England
situation as he found 1t during hrs
weeks stay at Bar Harbor, failed to
materialize and the conference will not
take place until tomorrow or Sunday.
Accompanied by his confidential stem
ographer, Mr.. Brolley, Judge Parker
made a record swim this morning,
covering more than a mile at a stretch
up stream with the tide. The return
to the dock was begun after hardly a
moments rest and when the nominee
emerged from the water and hurried UP
the slope to breakfast ne had been
swimming almost continuously for fifty
minutes and had travelled in water a
distance Of nearly two miles. He ar
peared not at all fatigued ny the effort
and an hour later was galloping ovcI
the Esopus sand dunes with Mrs
Parker, fresh as lark and in splendid
spirits.

SHEEPSHEAD
RACE TRACK TODAY'S CEN.
TER OF ATTRACTION
BIGGEST CROWD EVER
To Witness Struggle For
$4,000 Purse.

Sheepshead Bay Race Track, N. Y,
Aug. 26.-With track which promises
tonight to be lightning fast, and ever
the six furlong straight away course
the brown carpet of which has rever.
brated with the thud of flying hoofs of
the great Proctor Knott, Salvador, His
Highness, Martimas, Charcornac and
other great thoroughbreads, the annual
running of the ruturity stakes, for two
year old colts and FLIES will take place
here tomorrow in the presence Of what
promises to be the largest crowd that
has ever seen a horse race in America.
Fourteen horss are tonight carded to
struggle for the $55,000 purse and they
are the cream of the younger division.
They are all ready to run for their
lives and unless the "sharps" are
wrong, when the time is flashed at the
end of the contest, it will show new
record for the stake.
From present indications, the owner
of the winner will be a rich man. In
fact the days of poor men scoring sue
cess in the Futurity have passed and
the entries for tomorrow's race will
sport the silk millionaires. The expert
checkers who have noted the trials Of
the entries declare tonight that James
r. Keene's Sysonby, worthy son OF the
great English Sire Melton and H. b.
Duryea's Meddler fllly Tarya, will bp
found fighting it out at the fnish, with
the rest of the field in a battle royal
for third money. Neither Sysonby nor
Tanya has been beaten this year and
although they have never came togeth-
er in a race, their performances have
been very similar, winning all OF the
starts in common canter after racing
the other contenders of their feet in
the early stages of the contest.
The official entry list as furnished
by the secretary tonight, with the
weights and probable jockeys and over
night betting follows:
Tradition, 1877, Lyme, and Woodsaw,
121, Kelly, coupled as the Paget entry
to /; Sysonby, 1877, Redfern or Odom,
Wild Mint 1T, Fuller, coupled as the
Keene entry, even money; Tanya, 124,
Hildebrand, Artful, ia, Cochran, Rose
of Dawn, ia, Shaw, coupled as the
Duryea entry to 2; Chrysitis, 1913,
Is to 1; Hot Shot, 122, Hicks, Water
side, 119, Hennessy, coupled as the
Madden entry, Is to /; Belle Strome,
11S, O'Neill so to ! ; Glorifer 1873, Gan
non 20 to /; Oiseau, 1872, Munroe 20 to
| 1; Agile 122, Burns, 80 to /
There has been a strong play
throughout the day on both the Keene
and Duryea entries, and tonight flood
of western money made its appearance
to back the chances Of Oiseau who
comes east with reputation as high
class performer John Madden is par
ticularly sweet on the chances Of his
Hot Shot colt who by the way is half
brother to the good mare, Gunfre. Sid
ney Paget claims that Tradition cannot
be beaten but the rank and file of the
talent" will have nothing but Tanya
or Sysonby and If one Of this pair
does not finish in front tomorrow the
bookmakers will win a fortune.

DYNAMITING OF BUILDINGS
Said to Be Dangerous and Uncertain
Means Of Fighting Fire.

Said to Be Dangerous and Uncertain
Means Of Fighting Fire.
The experience in dynamiting build
ings, both at Baltimore and at Tor
onto, indicates that it is not only a
useless procedure but positively dan
gerous one. In both cities the effect
of the explosions on the ruined build
ings was simply to product heap OF
wreckage which could not be mounIeo
by the firemen and which was scarce
ly less combustible than the original
building, while the gap placed in the
path of the flames was so narrow that
it was easily leaped by the fire.
The effect on the surrounding build
ings, which 1t was the purpose of the
explosion to protect, as to smash in
the windows and thus destroy the only
barrier that existed in the immediate
penetration Of the flames to the inter
ior combustible finish and contents.
In the case Of some of the fireproof
buildings at Baltimore there seems
reason to believe that a considerable
part of the damages to the walls and
to the structural fireproofing was
caused by the violent shocks produced
in dynamiting adjacent structures.
However this may be, 1t is certain
that in many cases the dynamiting
was delayed until the mined" build.
ing was ablaze, with the very natural
result that burning brands and debris
were actually hurled through the
broken window openings into neigh
boring buildings.
Such happenings as this are. OF
course, chargeable solely to unwise
direction Of the work, but they are
certain to occur in the excitement
and panic of losing battle against
a conHagration. At best dynamiting is
dangerous and uncertain means Of
fighting fire unless it has been much
maEgned by the experience at Balti
more and Toronto and heads Of firi
departments will act wisely if they
strike it off their list of fire-fghtint
methods.-Ensineerm News.

Takinu No Chances,

A Kentucky Colonel, who in every
other way showed his enjoyment of
his Bourbon, always shut his eyes as
he lifted his glass to his lips, AS this
is the way children are, usually ad-
vised to take unsayory medicine, his
frinds wondered that the Colonel
should show such an aversion to look
ing at the beverage that all the rest Of
Kentucky likes to gaze on only less
than to taste. Some one asked him at
last why he always shut his eyes. He
replied, "Ah'm afraid If All looked at
1t nah mouth would wattah and dilute
nah liquah. New York Tribune.
