SMALL BLAZE

4 small blaze in cottage on l.iliha
street above Vineyard called out the
fire department at about o'clock this
afternoon. The fire was started by
the overheating of a stove pipe, which
caused the roof to catch fire. The
blaze was quickly extingulshed, and
beyond hole in the roof and some
damage done by water no great harm
was done. The owner of the house is
Fred Johnson. and The occupant Peter
Hollerson.

Big Carriage Horses.

As foreign conditions have their e.
feet on the horse industry in this coun-
try, the views Of writer In London
paper are Of some interest here. This
correspondent claims that the wealthy
jobmasters of London are unable to
let or hire anything but big carriage
horses, and In the absence Of home
breds they by them In America or on
the continent OF Europe. The number
they now require could be expressed
in thousands AID the checks they send
would amount to something more like
millions. He thinks breeders need have
no doubt about future markets for any
stylish, full sized carriage horses they
may be enabled to put upon the Lon
don market. In advocating the produe-
ton Of such full sized carriage horses
as now appear in the parks and fash
lonable streets OF London he does not
disparage the fashionable hackney
which adorns the elegant victoria, but
wants the larger type to be bred In
edual numbers

THE CHICAGO BALLOON RACE.
Great Crowd Sees Nine Airships SAIL
OF Into Space.


Nine balloons sailed away with sew
enteen men and one boy from the
grounds of the Aeronautique Club OF
Chicago Saturday in the second race
for the balloon championship of the
World. Dispatches said there were
heavy winds and much thunder and
lightning along the route in which the
balloons were travelling and anxiety
was expressed at the Aeronautique Club
over the storm reports. Lightning is,
of course, the chief dread of the aero
naut- To him it is what rocks and reefs
are TO the mariner
The start from the clubs grounds at
Sixty-seventh street and South Park
avenue was witnessed by 100000 per-
sons. In point of spectators and the
number and character of entries it was
the greatest aeronautic event that ever
has taken place in America, and places
Chicago on a par with Paris as CEN
ter for aerial sport.
The accounts of the race" seem to
show that luck was the most important
factor in determining place. The bal
looms went in the direction of the wind.
They sailed high or low, not as their
occupants desired, but as the air cur
rents carried them. Those that were
favored by luck reached the ground
with no accidents to their occupants.
Those that were unlucky hit the sur
face of the lake or landed their passen-
gers in dangerous places. In all ac-
counts of the contest the element OF
control is conspicuously absent.
The balloon race made a good show.
1t afforded a topic of interest to many
thousand people who watched the start
from Chicago. 1t is a matter of salts
faction that none of the contestants lost
his life, despite the exciting experiences
through which some OF them passed.
1t requires stretching of the word
race" to describe haphazard air jour-
ney in which one balloon managed to
get Go miles, another less than 800, and
the winner $50 miles farther than the
nearest competitor.
