COTTON BURNS IN HOLD.
Smoke Comes from Belo5c Closed
Hatches of Colorado.

A fire that resulted IN damage Of about $4,000
broke out on the Mallory Line steamer Colorado
at o'clock yesterday morning as she lay at Piey
10, East River.
The Colorado arrived here from Brunswick Ga
last Saturday and has cargo Of rosin cotton and
lumber st in her hold. The fire was discovered
by the deck Waterman. who smoke pouring out
Of the portfolios. The crew. asleep between decks.
were promptly aroused by the Waterman and all
escaped. After the last Of the crew came
ashore the watchman called Patrolman Faust OF
the Old Slip station. who was at the end OF the
pier at the time. Faust sent in an alarm that soon
brought the lreboats NEWCOMER. Seth Low, four
engines, two trucks two battalion chiefs and
Deputy Chief Kruger. After a three hour fight the
boats and flremen got the fire under control
The cause Of the fire is not known. II ia thought
that 1t must have started from a spark before the
steamer left Brunswick This belief streng thened
by the fact that the hatchways had not been
opened since the vessel left Brunswick over three
hundred bales of cotton we're stored where the fire
started. The hremen had to cut holes IN the
promenade deck and put the hose through TO get al
the burning cotton. They suffered much from the
overpowering smoke. and worked in relays
superintendent Raymond Of the Mallory Line said
that the fire was confined to that part OF the deck
the vessel was badly damaged. The Colorado was
recently retted, and this fact, ne said prevented
the flames from spreading.
About one hundred half burned bales Of cotton
were taken from the hold. Each bale weighs 500
pounds. and. valued at $50 each makes the loss on
cotton alone 5000 The police and fremen were
unable to estimate any loss, but il is thought TO
be about $4,000
The Colorado is a 2TOo-ton steamer about three
hundred feet In length, and has piled between New
York and Southern ports for many years

Some High Bids Will Be Made
for Hamburg.
Disposal Sale of Whitney's
String Creates Talk.
PEER OF ANY STALLION
Milton Young Knows of No
Horse in England Better.
Thinks the Eight Stations Will
Bring Over 100000.

Lexington. KY, Sept. 14--Milton
Young, who owned the mighty Han
over, the sire of Hamburg, the latter
regarded by horsemen as the sensation
al race horse which has furnished the
turf the last two Futurity winners in
Hamburg Belle and Artful, predicts
Hamburg will top the 100000 line
when knocked down at the coming
dispersal sale of the late w. c. Whit
ney's LaBelle stock. This is the large
sum which Charles Reed electrified the
turf world over a decade ago by bid
ding for the Derby winner imp. st.
Blaise, a figure which still stands as
the record price paid at auction IN
America for horse OF any breed:
Young believes Hamburg the peer OF
any stallion in America and he says
he knows of no horse in England he
prefers to him.
IF had the surplus money controll-
ed by any of the eastern millionaire
turfmen, the grand horse would spend
his future years at McGrathiana, if it
cost $150,000 to bring him there" he
says. Being now only years old.
with two Futurity winners to his cred
it in three crops of foals, 1 think Ham
burg even a good investment at such
an enormous figure. L presume, now
ever, that Harry Payne Whitney VIII
buy the son of Hanover regardless OF
the amount he is sent UP to by any
cOntending bidder.
Young does not believe imp. Meddler,
though the English horse now leads
the winning sires of the year, will
bring anything near the figure Ham
burg will sell for. He regards him as
a great horse.
A good judge of prices on thorough
bred horses here estimates the Whit
ney stations, eight in number, Will
bring around $26S,0O0. He puts Ham
burg a SEE, 900, imp. Meddler at $50, 1000,
Yankee SIS, 900, Nasturtium $4,000, Bal
lyhoo Bay $500, Kilmarnock $4,000,
imp. Sandringham $4,000 and Black
stock 81, 500 This in total is less than
the horses cost the late racing magnate
by some $31, 900, Hamburg's large in
crease in value being offset by the de-
probation in prices of the other horses.
1t is the universal opinion of horse
men, however, that the great dispersal
will be the sale of the century and
what little the Whitney exchequer lose
on the great stations will be made up
in the increase in value of such mares
as Handspun, Mella and Martha IL. AS
good an authority as Milton Young ad-
mits that he would not be surprised II
