of a mile in length, had no vacant spaces. One knew that there were chairs in the stand but no view of them was obtainable, so dense was the rest The field accommodations were far too small and, as at Gravesend, the crowd overflowed into the infield, where thousands stood massed along tho rail during the running of the race. GREAT CROWD IN THE STANDS. Viewed from the field the sight of that wonderful crowd massed on the Jawns ani stands was something to awaken the sensations, The bright gpots ofcolor in the great stand furnished by ‘he brilliant costumes of the ‘omen produced the effect of a living mosalc. From the great crowd on the lawn came puffs of smoke here and there, producing a realistic impres- a of a faraway battle ground. Facing away from the stand the contrast qwea stunning. A level stretch of light green lawn studded with yellow Jewels of dandelions. A forest of scrub-oak and beyond the great Atlantic, ceaselessly sending its billows to a sandy shore to be dissipated in snowy ourt. », Bt for the roar of the thousands In the inclosure one could have en- Joyed the peaceful beauties of the landscape. But the racing microbe willed otherwise. ‘The landscape beauties were blotted from the brain. None saw them. ‘All eyes were for the horses. The senses impelled one to crowd into the gtuffy betting ring. It was horse and bet from one end of the afternoon to the other, ORUSH IN BETTING RING. The betting ring before the crowd ‘arrived showed over one hundred Dookmakers, calmly seated, like the spider, far in the recesses of his web, got busy. They had more victims than they could attend to. flung its weight on that fringe of bookies like angry Waves leaping at breakwater. Again and again the onsluught was made, but the ring of bookies stood firm. A young man plunged into a crowd and, fighting with all his strength, feached a bookmaker. He had a roll of bills clutched in his fist. “A hundred on the favorite,” he cried. The bookmaker called the bet. The sheet-writer put it down, Then he looked up for the bettor. He eaw a waste of strained, eager faces about him. “Hey! What's your name?” he cried. No one answered. The young man who made the bet had only time to hand his money to the bookie.| Then he was whisked off his feet by the rush, and though fighting tena- @iously and with all his strength, was borne away half a hundred feet. Later he battled his way back to the bookie and gave his name. This was only a sample instance. It happened a thousand times. Biome men knew where they bet. Others were never able to get to a pookie. Only those whose brute strength gave thém an advantage were fable to get at the layers. A football eleven with its (famous flying wedge could have made no impression on that crowd. A great seething, bubbling mass of humans, they swirled round and q gound the ring as if some invisible giant hand was constantly stirring them into confusion, And out on the lawn it was almost as bad. In making a trip from the betting ring the trail of a man, if it could have been accu- rately traced on paper, would have looked Iike a record of a wind gauge or the markingsmade by the instrument which records the vagaries in the | beat of the pulse. It was right, left, sidestep here, duck there, back up fm another place. It was impossible to traverse a straght line. ; ‘OFF TO THE STARTING POST. As the horses stepped out on the brown track the deep, drowning roar S from the grand-stand ceased. Attention was concentrated on the horses. There was applause in generous quantities for the favorite horses and the favorite jockeys. Like mincing misses on parade at a college commence- ment these high-strung, dancing thoroughbreds paraded by the stand, From the crowds there came a babel of sound. Every one was chatter- fng and laughing. Opinions were being exchanged on the looks of the) horses. The horses lined up and took their positions. The starter paraded in front of them. He warned the jockeys against bad behavior and threatened heavy penalties if any disobeyed, Then he clambered into his starting box, { and 30,000 pairs of eyes focussed on the small space that held the starter , and the horses. . This was the most trying moment ‘of the race. The suspense while those horses were censelessly shifting and turning! One's heart almost stopped beating when the field would line up all save one horse, and that ‘ horse the one on which the individual's hope and fears were centred. Faces paled under the intense strain. The beating of the heart that pumped the fevered bleod of t great crowd was painful to feel. THEY'RE OFF! THEY'RE OFF! Suddenly some one cried: “They're off!’ It was a falee alarm, but the crowd laughed hysterically. The shout cased the strain.

He asked for change of a $5 bill. Tansey took out the roll of bills and made the change. The stranger had gone only a little entered and ordered a drink, laying down five cents, After taking his drink he went to the rear of the saloon and returning in a moment told Tansey that his place was being flooded. ‘The saloon-keeper ran to the rear of the place, followed by the man. ‘The two tried to stop a heavy stream of water gushing {rom one of the pipes. ‘The stranger then suggested that Tansey aoe a which he did by telephgx plumber arrived the sirfnger gone.

The escape of Kemensky was the picturesque feature of the accident, When firemen under Deputy Chief Martin and Acting Chief Madden | were at work in the rear of the building pulling away timbers and working like longshovemen to reach the bottom of the cellar they heard a voice colling. It was several feet beneath them, but was clear and distinct. The men shouted that they were digging, and asked if the person was in a position | to stand the strain any longer, “Oh, I can stand it a long while,” was the reply. Jim Dumps sends out ac “ Then each will sound in makes all doctors agree. “Are there any more persons near you?" asked the firemen. Through the three or four feet of material came the muffled reply that if there were tney could not talk, because the prisoner below had been try- ing to find somebedy to talk to. After an hour of work, during which time the man below the tons of debris kept up a conversation with the firemen, a hand was reached. Care- fully, that the whole masse might not be disturbed, little by little, more and more of the debris was removed and the arm and head brought to view, Asked if he was hurt, the man sald he did not know, as he could move no parc of his body, A rope was passed about him and he was pulled from the poeiticg he had deen in.
