From Mill Valley and Corte Madera | Canyon came other reinforcements, men who had become veteran fire fighters in a night and a day, and they, too, plunged into the seething vortex, and still the flames rushed on. And then as if by softened to a breeze, the wind veered and the rain began. It seemed to drop so gingerly In spots for a time that those | who had been Inwardly praying for it as the only salvation were fearful to shout lest 'they should be disappointed; ~but more than one gave silent evidence of the faith that was in him by starting, furni- ture-laden, for his recently deserted home. The promise contained th the first gentle magic the gale patter was confirmed a few minutes later by a steady dropping and by the incoming of a stormcloud from the west that pre- ged more. In less than fifteen minutes he shower was heavy. At 10:3) o'clock it was still coming down and all danger had passed, and the most fearsome, toilsome | day Marin County had passed with it. The passage of the fire that started Monday on the Rosenquist property near | | the water tanks, spreading south, was easily traceable morning. Down Corte Madera east and Can ner canyons, and easterly over the Ca cade ride toward Larkspur, its path wasg marked by blazing tree stumps and un- | derbrush reduced fo ashes. It swept into the beautiful Japanese garden of George Marsh, and besides destroying the “Owls' Nest” 'and the roundhouse consumed large area of vaulable plant growth, n- cluding an acre of the finest Woodwardia ferns ever grown in the State. Southerly in Corte Madera Canyon, almost to the grounds of the Hotel Eastland, on both sides of the railroad track, the under- growth was nothing but hof ashes and smoldering _embers. In Warner's (or Boyle’s) Canyon its black and gray trail ' in the history of the southern part of vesterday n, south and east into Blithedala and War- a| was still hot when the men who had fought the danger through the night saw the first rays of vesterday's sun. Monday night had been one of Intense excitement in valley and canyon. The sky was red with reflected flames that leaped up from the open places; the wind blew hot in fitful gusts; in the deep re- cesses of the redwoods the underbrush Jporting Svents From Al QOver the dorld. flected in the heavens. Men on horse- back, in buggies and wagons and all sorts of rigs fairly flew to the rescue of their threatened redwoods and all through the night worked like demons to avert and crackled, and shadows danced ?na“:l?lg swaying treetops. The voices of men calling to men sounded like warn- Ings to doom. or lack of water every other available 3 il was used. Where | disaster. n;ed:%vc:lfncflreoflrg;‘llg'x:i was too strong to When the morning broke the fires b d in check by ordinary means and seemed to be under control. The fire- e e Mbortunity and the wind oftered v started. Men and women, DAk Shom had hastened over from this city in alarm at the first reports, volunteered for the work. The manage- ments of the North Pacific Coast and fighters, black from smoke, hollow eyed from the lack of sleep and from the giare of the flames, presented a sorry-looking sight In the light of dawn. They were most of them ready to drop in thelir tracks from the night’s exertions had it not been that they were still stimulated with excitement and fearful that the ris- ing winds might still fan the smoldering embers Into other columns of flame. They told off watches in all the canyons and deeply wooded hillsides and, In squads souzht breakfast and a few hours sleep before noon. It was well they did. Their fears of the wind were well founded. At 1 o'clock it had assumed the proportions of a good, stiff breeze, and by 2 o'clock it was whistling through the eanyons, carrying clouds of dust and smoke in its embrace. Again the underbrush began to crackle and snap, smoke rose in threatening spirals into the atmosphere, still hazy from the smoke of the night before. Deer, frightened from their coverts, ran aimlessly through the redwoods and up and down the country roads, birds twit- tered in_affright, rabbits and wood rats and quail skurried in one heedless, panic- stricken throng anywhere and every- e from the fire demon. es smoldering in the ashes under the redwoods were tanned into flame, charred stumps blazed anew and a thin trail of torked both ways in the porthern part -te Madera Canyon and in Warners yon. Mounted men hastened to the threatened forests. D. H. Bibb, the lum- ber man, who has a large residence under the eastern brow of Tamalpais, put a large force of men to work to head oft the advance of the new-blown fire over the rid into Baltimore Canyon. His own residence was in no danger. His men worked heroically setting backfires, but the wind was against them and the flames mounted the ridge to threaten Larkspur and Corte Madera, leaving the lower Corte Madera Canyon and Mill Valley in temporary sa Over in Warners Canyon and near Blythedale the gale had fanned the flames on' their second errand of destruction, and it was not long before riders raced’ into Mill Valley with the news that the resi- dences of Dr. Alexander Warner and Hugh Boyle had been consumed. These rumors were found later to be untrue. The flames, attaining great volume, had swept into the canyon as on the night before and before they were checked had com- pletely destroyed the growth of trees and vines on Warner's place. By the time the rain fell there the danger point ap- peared to have been passed, but the down- pour was none the less welcome. And now that the greatest forest fire in the history of Marin County has passed into history, the residents of the valleys and canyons are thanking their stars and | the rain that it was not worse. Although many_ lives were endangered none were Jost,” Lorenzo Ferrari, who was supposed to have perished in the flames, having ap- peared in the flesh bright and early yes- terday to fight the flames. Much personal property was damaged, how much is not known, but its value will run up close to $100,000, but this is hardly regretted as much as the destruction of trees on the ridge and in Warners Canyon. That loss can only be repaired by time. | Bcenic Railwi vs pressed their employes | into the s e and furnished trains to | carry fire fighters and supplies from all | the statlons on the line as far south as Bausalito.

It looked as if five straight favorites might tramp down the line at Oakland track yesterday, but it would seem that nothing is a certainty in racing. In the second paragraph of the afternoon’s sport Bit of Fashion, a cholce morsel of horse- flesh picked up by Burns & Waterhouse in St. Louis, and considered one of the select of the stable, started for the first time, On looks alone she should have been installed favorite, and the daughter of Forest had the call over Midity at post time. Sunello and The Buffoon were the only other contenders. Midity, piloted by Ruiz, broke aw in the lead dnd was never headed, winning cleverly in slow time for the Futurity course. Bit of Fash- ion seemed not ready for a bruising race, finishing last. Sunello, at odds of 25 to 1, after being interfered with by The Buf- foon, displayed a sharp turn of speed, taking the place in impressive fashion. In the concluding race of the day Mon- tallade, a %0 to 1 shot, also broke the slate, first choices capturing the other three purses. Montallade had Johnson in the saddle, and nobody gave the sprinter a thought, his odds drifting from 12 to 40 and 5. Young Johnson trailed Chihua- hua and Mike Rice Into the stretch, and then getting through an o})enmg won gal- loping by three lengths from the 6 to 5 choice Chihuahua. = Lavator led Rice, second cholce in the betting, out for the show. Midlove was held at prohibitive odds in the books to win the opening event at six furiongs. After cutting out the pace from the jump she beat Faversham a couple of lengths. Anchored ran third. Once more Pat Morrissey ran circles aroung his field in the six and a half fur- long riin. Backed to 1 to 3 he was always in front, and Yule, finishing second, was unable- to make him gallop. Loving Cup, the second choice, under poor guldance was fourth. The only real close finish of the day oc- curred at the termination of the mile and a sixteenth selling afair. Opponent ruled favorite in the betting and was fortunate, for Reolia was plainly the best. Kept back until the sun had set, Mounce on the latter came with a terriflc rush, falling short by a scant head. Another jimp an the decision would have been reversed. Marplot, heavily played at remunerative o0dds, ran a good third. To-Day’s Entries.

Russell will enter the ring weighing about 210 pounds, while Van Buskirk will : were second and third respectively. Eight scale over 200. This will be Russell's first | fiorsas ran; distance six furlongs. The appearance on this coast, and he should be thoroughly tried out by Van Buskirk. The latter is a seasoned boxer, having met among others Stelzner, Kennedy and Jeftries. 1t was only to the superior abil- ity of the present champion that he struck his colors. Russell placed himself in the hands of the veteran, Alex Greggains, some weeks ago and has proved an apt pupil. They have boxed together every afternoon, and Russell has shown marked aptitude for the game, and his mentor expects him to make a good showing. He is strong, fast and willing, and if he wins to-morrow mfim he wiil have a promising future as a boxer. Van Buskirk has not been idle and is ronounced fit for any kind of a bout. {e did a lot of preparatory work at his home in Marysville, and then put_ the finishing touches on at the Seal Rock House on the ocean beach. From all in- dications the bout should be a merry one while it lasts. It is not expected to go the limit when two such willing boxers face one another. What the big fellows will lack in agility and quickness should be supplied b; “Rufe” Turner and “Jimmy'’ Reilly. This will be Turner's first appearance here, while Reilly is an old favorite. Both are clever lightweights. “‘Billy” Jordan, the veteran master of ceremonles, will referee both bouts. These' will be the first important ones he has passed upon in some time, but he has kept well in ‘practice deciding minor matches. The seating at Woodward's Pa- vilion has been rearranged with the idea of giving a better view of the ring.
