Allen Winter Wins Handicap.

Readville, Mass. Aug. 26.--The we'll
earned victory won by M. II. Reardon's
Indianapolis stallion Allen Winter at
the Readville track, thereby capturing
the largest share of the $4,000 Ameri-
can trotting handicap from the field OF
thirty-three starters, is believed by
many of the 10000 followers of harness
racing who saw the contest to estab-
fish new era in the history of the
sport and insure Its regeneration in
this country.
The race was novel in its conditions,
which placed the horses at marks from
one quarter to three-eighths of a mile
behind the usual starting point, on a
handicap based on their previous per-
formances, and at the conclusion 1t
appeared to be the general opinion OF
all who saw the two preliminary heats
and the grand finale that this system
of racing will be popular in the future
1t was the first race in which Allen
Winter had trotted this year. and Lon
Mcdonald, his driver, sized up the
field in the two preliminary heats. In
the first he watched sixteen horses,
placed at marks from 1920 to 1,720
feet behind the usual starting line,
sweep once and quarter around the
track to a grand finish, with Barvaldo
in the lead. In the second heat. with
his own horse 1870 feet from the wire
and $3.50 feet to travel, he pushed AL
len Winter carefully but surely past
three other horses. and kept ahead OK
the others. finishing a good third.
The stakes We're divided as follows:
Alien Winter $50 900
prince G 10000
San francisco . 5000
Ralnh Wick $500
The Hpntsman 1,500
peter Belta ....... 1000

Strength = Wet Weather in North
west Creates Demand for Oats.

Chicago. Aug. 26-Additional rain
in the Canadian northwest and Min
snesota and She Dakotas, which will
further delay harvesting and the
movement of the new crop, was. the
chief reason of the firm tone in wheat
today. An advance Of nearly a cent
at Minneapolis and Winnipeg also
helped strengthen the position of the
bulls. December opened at 94A to
94M, and advanced to 951s. Minneapo-
lis. Duluth and Chicago receipts We're
451 cars.
The market was strong all day. The
resumption of export business here and
ct Kansas City and the seaboard, was
an important factor in the close, which
was firm, and showed advances of Is
OK to 81 over yesterday. December
closed at 951h@s5A.
n Corn.
Corn opened easy, the result of con-
tinued favorable weather for the new
CROP There was little selling pres.
sure and owing to the strength OF
wheat the market soon became flrmer.
December opened at 66 to 663s, and ad-
vanced to 661s. Receipts were 224 cars.
Strength in wheat held corn steady.
AL the close, prices were unchanged to
A@M higher. December closed at
66ss.
Oats.
Wet weather in the northwest helped
to create a firm market for oats There
was general demand by commission
houses. December opened at 49as. Re-
ceipts were 159 cars.
Provisions.
Provisions were firm because of ac-
tive demand for cash lard by export

with ladders we're seen running To-
wards the Christian church. During
the summer, birds had built their
nests in the chimney and had com
pletely stopped it up and the
j%anitor built a fire in the stove for
Sunday school. After starting the
fire the j~anitor went home thinking
the Sunday school would begin in a
little while. A little girl being a
earlier than the rest seeing the door
open went in and sat down. She had
not been there long when she saw a

gave the report and the fire was soon
extinguished. If the fire had went on
fifteen minutes more it would have
been too far ahead of nOur Bucket
