THE INDIANAPOLIS THUGD AY, SEPTEMBER 0 DANDY Jlil GOES UP rJAKCS A NEW MARK FOR HIMSELF AMI GETS IX THE 2xOO CLASS. Incfs at Hie Fair Interfered vrltlt ly the Maslc Frojrrnmmc Tito of Them Not FlnUhed. race3 at the fair were fully as. exciting as the day before. The musical programme interfered -with the regular progress of the heats, but starter How-land 'was able daring the afternoon to get off six The free-for-all trot was completed and portions of the other two races on the programme.

The free-for-all trot proved be a. record breaker and resulted la the addition of a new 2:10 performer for Young Jim, making the second for him. Jim, th "grey ghost," Is no longer eligible to 'the 2:11 class. He trotted the first heat In the ufternooa In but the next heat he reduced that record a. half a second and showed his ability to go faster if necessary.

The surprise of this heat was the showing that -Altao made In the last half, and itis his driver as much, as that of David that made Dandy Jim take a new record! In the first heat of the day (the fourth the race) Dandy Jim and David B. raced from wire to wire and the chestnut son of Young Jim was beaten. by only a-head at the wire, Altao finishing close up third. In went away together and trotted as a pair until the half was reached. There Lawrence bgan to drive Altao.

and the California horse was soon in second position and at Dandy Jim's throat-latch. They raced around the last turn as a pair and headed into the stretch on even terms. They were neck and neck until the distance stand was reached, where David li. came up a half length behind and made a heroic attempt to tave the race. Altao broke thirty yards from the -wire, and Dandy Jim-beat David B.

by half a length and reduced his record. Jim trotted the llrst half or the r.iile in 1:04 and the first quarter in :312. The race was the beat that the pray gelding has ever trotted, and Billy Slim, his driver, said he believed he could easily have trotted three times better than 2:10.

Lady Vivian was a member of this field and a hopeless choice in the bookmaker a odds to win. She is an erratic animal and even bets could be given that she would win or be distanced.

After she had spoiled several pretty starts by coming up behind the Held her driver was notified to take care of his position. He responded by coming up in his position well on his gait, and for the first half mile it looked as though she wouli win with ease. But she didn't. When the bunch that led beaded Into the stretch the was half a length in the lead. When the lart horse was called at the finish It was Lady Vivian.

She had paced all her speed in the first three-quarters of the mile and as the battle in the home stretch begun she faded away and saved her distance. She was drawn after this heat. She has been raced, unsuccessfully though, for several years. The race was a furious one. Watch Eye being the.

ATTENDANCE NOT AS LARGE AS SAME DAY IX 1801. An Incident That SomeTvlint Jarred Sensitive Ears Hand Hookmnk- er-Awnrd of Premiums. Music day at the State fair was not the event that it was last year.

The attendance was not nearly as great, being only about ten thousand during the whole day. The programme was much the same as it was last year, but the difference was not any improvement. The events of the day inside the grounds, though, were varied enough to interest the most fastidious fickle. 4 The music day programme was sandwiched with harness heats, and the breathing spaces between gave a crowd of bookmakers from Tron's pool room an opportunity to make handbooks on the heats, which proved disastrous to the bookmakers. The music programme was begun at 10 o'clock and continued until after 5 o'clock with but one change.

The racing began at 3 and six heats were trotted or paced. The scene in front the" grand stand at one time, was, to say the -least, straCge if not unprecedented. In the grand stand a sweet-voiced choir from the Third Christian Church sang "Nearer, my God, to Thee" while a dozen speedy pacers were scoring for the word in the quarter stretch and the crowd' of hand-bookmakers were yelling for 'bets in front of the grand stand. Later, while the same pacers were scoring again, a zouave company which had represented the French military in the pageant, declined to yield possession of the stretch in which some fancy maneuvres were being done and it looked for a minute as if there would be some conflict. The company left just as Superintendent Clay-pool, of the speed department, was asking the police to remove it from the track.

The musical programme was begun by the Indianapolis Military Band. Three numbers were rendered, the overture tD the "Bohemian Girl," a Scottish selection, and the mazurka "La Zyrine." The selections were well rendered and 'well received. The Rogers' Military Band, of Gcshen, followed and played creditably. It played the "William Tell" overture and selections from "Lohengrin" and both were performed in a sympathetic manner, but there was an incompleteness on account of the absence of Instruments that give strength and volume to both. The- Shelbyville- Band performed three numbers, the best of which was the last, a descriptive fantasie of Bucalosi's called "A Hunting Scene." The Shelbyvllle Band was followed by the Second Regiment Band, of Chicago, under the leadership of Ellis Brooks.

This. band was composed of forty pieces and the xnembers reached the ground3 on a special train about 1:30 o'clock. The rendition of the Tannhauser overture was equal to the ability ofCthis great band, but it was not played better than the succeeding selection. "Ma Mi, Rosette," by Lacoma. The band made a popular hit by the original manner in which it reproduced the so-called exotic music of the Midway Plaisance, which was one of the loifg-to-be-remembered features of the world's fair.

Its programme concluded with a medley of popular airs, all late, which were appreciated. The bands then massed themselves on the platform and during the programme of the Chicago band, Lera Wiley, who directed the music day programme, played "Say Au Revoir butt not on the cornet and won an. encore by the artistic manner in which he rendered The bands then masnd under the direction of Prof. Wiley and played the N. O.

March." "American Overture." a highly patriotic ensemble of national airs and a paraphrase on "Nearer, my God, to Thee," in which the choir of the Third Christian Church assisted. The massed programme concluded with Sousa's rousing "Directorate," which gave the trombone and the grand stand whistlers full opportunity to display themselves. The military march of v.atlons succeeded this, Germany, Fngland, France and America being represented by local military companies in the different national military dress uniforms, and each led by a band. They formed a hollow square in front of the grand stand and united in ahd then va pageant followed, in which Sousa's new march, "King Coiton," played the part. This closed the military programme.

Another $35,000 Up In Smoki No One Abont the Dulldlnff and the Orlcia rnkiton. For the second time In twenty-four the fire department responded to a general alarm of It broke oqt at 1 o'clock In the grain elevator HIggins doing business on South Alabama street and the Union railway tracks.

The structure was a', large frame building filled with baled hay, oats, shelled corn and some wheat. The blaze suddenly-enveloped the building and when the quick, sharp taps of Box 93 sounded at the touch of the tower vatchman in' the courthouse, it was evident the watchman had suddenly discovered urgent need of the department. Maryland street hose wagpn and hooks were the first to the scene but then the building was doomed. It all resolved itself into a question of saving the Mullen-Blackledge catsup the freight depots and freight cars on the Yracks near byv' The department" played upon the fire with all the available streams brought out by the first alarm, but as soon as Chief Webster arrived he ordered, the second and third alarms turned Ini This brought out the enure department and hen water "Was poured on lji torrents, but so. hot was the blaze that the water" "was turned Into steam.

Great volumes of and burning cinders were carried to the northwest and care was taken to watch that.no more; fires were started. About the only things saved about the building were several large wagons. Within ten minutes after the alarm was sent in' from-the tower a shower of sparks was settling on the surrounding buildings. The firemen turned two stiff streams upon the cement and lime establishment of Townsend Brothers, adjoining the warehouse on Virginia avenue, and were able to save the structure, which is of frame. Two horses belonging to Townsend Brothers were in the warehouse stables.

They were taken out with much difficulty with the live stock of the 'HIggins company. About lr.S0 o'clock the blown by a brisk breeze from the south, settled so thickly oa-Uje roof of the Mummenhoff commission house on Maryland street that it was feared that this building was in great danger. 'Adjoining" Mummenhoff is the Blumberg commission establishment, both being largely stocked with fruits at the present time. By 2 o'clock, however, all danger was over, so far as these buildings were concerned. At about 1:45 o'clock the east wall of the elevator toppled and fell.

The nines engine company was intejit upon forcing line of hose through; one of the -windows When the crash came. Four or fire pipemen were immediately under the burning wall and made a dash for the street as It, fell. For tunately -the wall was of frame and there was no serious -aamage. as it was, pipe-man John Allen of the nines, was caught under the debris and, for an instant, it was thought he was badly hurt. He scampered to his feet however and got out of the way of danger.

He was taken to police headquarters and an examination made of his injur'es. It was found that one eye was injured, but it was not thought he 'would lose it. LOSS AXD OWNERSHIP. Total Dnmage 3Iny. Rench $33,000 Changed Hands Lnst "Week.

The total loss on the fire will be in the neighborhood of $35,000. It was learned at a late hour this morning that Mr. Hisglns has retired frm the firm, his interest having been bought by H. Kinney about a week The firm is now known as J. F.

Smith Mr. Smith" having formed the company irt i the. former firm of W. L. Higgins Co.

The members of the firm did not arrive at the scene of the conflagra tion until a late hour this morning, but one of then then stated -that there were about twenty-live thousand bushels of grain of various kinds in the elevator, of which twenty-five were corn. There was also about seventy-five, tons of hay. The value of the contents is placed at There was thirteen thousand dollars' worth of machinery in the building, and it was Impossible this morning to ascertain what the los3 to this will be. Some of it was on the second floor, and was precipitated to the ground floor, where It was covered with debris. The buildings are owned by the Union Railway "Company, and are not worth very much.

The stock and buildings are insured, but for what amount Is not known. Very little of the grain which was in the building belonged to the firm, and that loss will fall upon the owners of it. In the viaduct side of the building was a printing establishment, belonging to Junius Braun.tand known as the Pembrook Print lng Company. A large amount of new furniture and equipments had been moved into the room last week. The loss on It will be total.

Anxiety for the Accounts. There was a great deal of anxiety among the acquaintances of the grain firm last night on account of he manner In which the books and papers are kept in the office. Mr. HIggins had for a long time had the following placard attached to the door of his safe: "This safe is not locked. Don't blow it," It was feared that the door might have been left open at the close of business yesterday and valuable accounts The proprietors were not able, to Investigate the condition of their- books and papers last night.

Their act Is of the rough-and-tumble nature that has sofrie difficult feats in it.

The triple-bar performance is something entirely new at Lincoln Park, and won warm applause. TThe acrobatic performance is fetter now than earlier In the en-(gagemeat, and the feats are difficult and quickly performed. A rhno, the equilibrist, gave a display of strength that is entirely new.

His clothes have been carried away and he is compelled to remain among the rushes on the bank, where he holds a conversation with his sweetheart at long range. This dialogue is bright and amusing, and pleases the audiences immensely. It leads up to an avowat of love and an engagement. It is nightly greeted with roars of laughter. Visitors to the 'fair.

'this week are enjoying "The Fatal Card" greatly. "There will be another popular matinee Great interest is being taken by fair visitors In the frontier drama at. the Park.
