STORIES OF THE DISASTER.

Boston, July ia hundred or more
survivors of the fatal train wreck at
Bridgeport arrived at the South sta
ton shortly after noon today and were
quickly clasped in the arms of waiting
relatives and friends.
There were many heroes among
them. but Bresnahan, NORM and Gey-
err of the ST Louis baseball club were
the names on almost every lip.
Those ball players were the big
heroes of the wreck" said Eugene
MeCuekin, Philadelphia newspaper
writer on his way north for a vaca-
ton. THE st. Louis boys worked like
mad. I'll wager that they rescued
a score or more people from the
wreck. Fortunately they were in the
last car of the train. although their
car had been scheduled to be placed
next to the engine. Just as soon as
they had tumbled out of their car and
realized what had happened they went
to work. They pulled away timbers,
releasing injured women. Tenderly
they took these women away from the
scene. Time and time again they re-
turned to their labor Not once did I
see them stop"
Il was in the next to the last car"
said Roger Bresnahan. the teams
manager. Il was smoking at the time
the spill came and I grabbed hold OF
something and held on. | got out all
right Not one of our men was hurt.

good. We were on our way to Boston

spreading rapidly along the southeast

Donald's bay mare Nanah. in three
close heats and won the 220 trotting
stake for $500. the feature of the
opening card of the Grand Circuit rae
ing season The track was a little
slow from yesterdays rain. but the
feature race was made in good time.
There was large crowd out for the
opening day. Betting was brisk on
the favorites. but in one case the ia
vorite did not win. The Limit in the
2.07 pace was backed heavily to win.
but the best he could do was fourth,
Ginger. driven by Brown, won the
race, after losing one heat to Ruth d.
With the exception of the 2.07 pace. all
the races were won in straight heats.
Fanny Stanton driven by Dodge won
the first race. the Els pace, but in all
three heats she was pushed hard by
Longworth b.. and Nellie G., which
took second and third respectively.
In the feature race, Nanah was neck
and neck with Geers' horse in all three
meats, but the veteran driver managed
to push his horse ahead in the stretch.
Both horses had about an equal fol-
lowing and the interest of the big race
centered in their work, the field seem
ingly being forgotten.
