 As he landed in the blanket there was crash of falling walls, and a moment later the roof on which he had been perched fell in. Mir.

Went Into Flames For Family.

Not seeing anything of his wife and family and fearing that he had not aroused them, he dashed back into the house. A moment later his neighbors saw him burst through the flames car rying one of the children over one arm and supporting his wife with the other.
 His face and body were burned, and he was too much exhausted to try to rescue the other children, but John Keegan and Arthur McGuinness, his neighbors, wrapping themselves ill wet blankets, dashed through the flames to the second floor, where they found Alexander and Robert, fourteen and sixteen years old, just on the point of leaping from the windows. Covering the boys with the blankets, they car ried them through the flames
 In the excitement little Bernard, who was sleeping in room in the attic, was forgotten until he appeared on the peak of the roof. By that time the entire house was wrapped in flames and seemed on the point of col lapsing. There was no time to lift a ladder to the roof, and in the absence of life net the firemen held a blan- ket. The boys father, supported by firemen, stood long enough to shout a word of encouragement to his son and to give him the command to take the only chance open to him.

Seven year Lad Has to Choose Between Forty Foot Spring or in- oineration - Mans Fight to Rescue Family From Flames.

New York, March 9-Bernard Mans field, seven-year-old son of Jacob Mansfield of Sheepshead Bay, won his life as the reward for his bravery. While hundreds of persons waited in mortified expectation that the blazing house on top of which the boy was perched would collapse, he jumped at word of command from his father and landed safely in blanket held as a life net. Neighbors had rescued two of his older brothers, and his father had saved his wife and the fourth child at the risk of his own life.
 Mir Mansfield was carrying kero- sene lamp when he stumbled and fell. The lamp exploded, and in an instant there was a burst of flame. Mir Mans fields nightclothes caught fire, but be- fore he thought of saving himself he rushed back to the second floor and aroused his wife and the children.
 With a blanket wrapped about him to deaden the flames from his night gown he dashed for the front stairs, but found his way blocked by the fire. Turning to the back stairs, he rushed into a yafd at the rear and then to the front of the house.

FINAL INSTRUCTIONS
FOR BIG AUTO RACE

NEW YORK, October 23.-After receiv-
ing final instruction at the Garden City
Hotel last night, the drivers and mocha
nicians who are to guide and watch over
the seventeen racing automobiles entered
in tomorrow's Vanderbilt cup speed con-
test devoted most of the morning today
to- grooming and overhauling their cars.
Strang, Lyle and Robertson, the trio
upon whom center most of the interest
OF tomorrow's race, each had his car out
for final squirt around the circuit, how
ever, and while all three. as if by a COM
mon accord. avoided speeding for full
laps, the cars were let out for fast miles
at the Westbury turn, which is perhaps
the most difficult of the entire course.
Strang. in particular. seems to have esti-
mated to nicely the maximum speed at
which 1t Is safe to negotiate each cor
ner. The keenest rivalry exists between
strang and Lyle. Lyle drives the Italian
car with which Strang won the Savan-
nah. Briarcliff and Lowell races. and
Strang. now that he drives car of a
different nationality and make, is deter
mined that the car which he thrice pilot
ed to victory shall this time go down to
defeat. Lytle defeated strang two weeks
ago over the same course on which to-
morrow's race Is to be run. While the
fiercest struggle of the day promises to
be between these two-the one represent
factor may be injected into the battle
in the person of Robertson. representing
America.
In addition to a wonderfully fast car.
Robertson possesses the mastery and dar-
ing which have made such drivers as Lam
cha, Duray and Nazzaro famous in both
hemispheres. One of his most recent ex-
PLOTS is the winning of the Quaker Motor
Club 2O0-mile race at Philadelphia, two
weeks ago, and Of the twenty-four-hour
race at Brighton Beach a week earlier,
when he finished seventy miles ahead of
the worlds record.

GEORGETOWN READY
FOR THE TARHEELS

Team average, 1888: tackle to tackle. 169; back
field, III.
Washingtonians will be able to see
their first really big game tomorrow
when Georgetown and North Carolina
come together on the field of the former.
The most intense rivalry exists between
the two institutions, and there Is no
doubt that every inch of ground Will be
fought over most bitterly. In the past
four years each team has scored two VIC
tories on the other, SO that tomorrow
contest will also be a sort of rubber.
The southerners come with one Of the
strongest teams that they have sent out
from Chapel Hill in years. At least that
Is the claim which precedes them. Be
yond getting a scalp. they are also anx-
ious to make more scores over the local
boys than did "a. and M. last week. The
reason for this Is because the relations
between the two Carolina colleges are
strained. and hence IT Is that each 10 en-
deavoring to show its superiority over
the other by scores, inasmuch as mey
will not meet this season.
But the Blue and Gray team claims that
it is in the money strong, and Its follow
ers certainly have faith In 1t, for ooos are
being offered as high as to 3. The past
week has been a strenuous one Tor the
players, and they should be hard enough
for most severe work by now. Coacn
Newman had them bucking against the
scrubs the first four days of the week,
and yesterday he himself tore at the line
for awhile. Percy Givens was up yes
terday and came out In q suit to help
develop the center men. A noticeable I'M
provement has been made In the quick
ness and speed of the eleven, and this
should be of the greatest advantage to
them at the start of.
The lineup will be almost the same as
in the past two games. The only changes
are at quarter and left tackle. Sitter
ding will start the game instead Of Stew
art, as the latter Is on the shelf with a
bad ankle. O'Rourke's injury is worse
than it was first thought to be, and
hence the big westerner will probably be
kept on the side lines, unless there is
urgent need for him to strengthen the
line. Wymard will start In his place,
and Delaney will also be given a show
The first Of these Is big husky who bids
fair to get a regular job before long. He
was slow at the beginning of the season
but late " has gotten up more speed, and
has also shown himself to be a good
drop kicker. AS Georgetown is In es-
pecial want of such q man every help
will be given him to enable him to I'm
his first week out. In the scrimmages
he has shown up like a wiz. so Capt
Miller thinks it worth while to let him
get q taste Of the real play.
The officials have not been fully agreed
on as yet but the managers are endeavor-
ing to secure one from the big colleges
who will be fully capable Of handling all
disputes. If they are successful, as they
probably will be. the game should prove
TO be not only 8 hard one for the play
ers. but also a most interesting one to
watch.

CYCLER BREAKS RECORDS.
Fred Huyck Goes Mile in
1.3 3-5, Standing Start.

DETROIT, Mich. October o.
Fred Huyck of Chicago broke three
amateur worlds motor cycling rec
ords yesterday at the state fair
grounds at a meeting sanctioned by
the Federation of American Motor
Cyclists. He made one mile. stand
ing start, in 1 minute 3 3-5 Sec
onds against the record of 1 min
ute 42-5 seconds; he made the
mile. flying start. in 81 3-5 seconds
against the record of 55 %. and in
one hour of continual riding in
competition to beat the record of
fifty-siX miles. standing start, he
made 81 1-5 miles.
While the state fair track is cir
culiar, this time equals the Ormond
Beach straightaway mile of Glen
H. Curtis last January, which has
stood as the fastest mile ever COW
cred by an individual. Huyck's
time for this mile is not an official
record. however, as he was not
scheduled to try for the mile record
in this event.
