After the stadium show is
over tonight Tacoma will let
loose down town. This will be
Ad club night. One of the big
skyscrapers on Pacific avenue
will be lit up with red fire until
it looks like conflagration and
the auto fire apparatus will be
sent down the street to quench
the blaze.
On Tacoma avenue the big
motorcycle races will be held.
Over 40 machines have entered,
and it promises to be some. race.
Fifteen thousand people went
to the stadium Friday afternoon
and 10000 more in the evening to
see the Stampede show of the
Mon tamara Festo. The afternoon
crowd spent a good part of time
with umbrellas up while the driz-
zling rain descended and the sun
shone in streaks.
In the evening, in addition to
the regular stampede show by the
cowboys and Indians, the crowd
was treated to fireworks display.
The fireworks were good-what
there was of them-but the long
delays between the cowboy stunts
made it very late and the crowd
was tired before they started.
To make up for the rainy per-
formance Friday afternoon and
give those a chance who could not
get seats at the stadium at popu-
lar prices, 25 cents being the ad-
mission price.

To BURN UP
A HOTEL

SANDIEGO, Cal, July "a
daring arson plot was discovered
when Miss Della Blanchard, aged
%, found flames creeping up an
electric light wire outside her
window in the Leland hotel block,
this morning. The plot, as shown
by fuses which were laid, was
thoroughly planned. The fuses
were saturated with turpentine
and connected with excelsior soak
ed in coal oil. A bottle of coal
oil and a five-gallon can of oil
were found about the first floor of
the building. The flames were
extinguished after a hard fight.
The police are investigating.
