The racing this meer is not showing anything specially remark- able, the wins being in the main a foregone conclusion, and lying mainly, between two or three ponies spotted at the outset, while a large mediocre mob representing the balance of the entries keep pretty close together.

ESTIMATED DÁMAGE $250,000,
One of the most disastrous fires with which the Brigade have yet had to contend broke out in Des Voeux Road early on Sunday morning, and before the flames could be mastered a huge double godown with most of its contents was destroyed, involving. damage which is roughly estimated at between two and three hundred thousand dollars. The call was received at the Central Fire Station at half past five and with creditable promptitude the men had the engines out and steam up before they were little more than half way to the fire, which could be seen raging at the Kennedy Town end of the Des Voeux Road.. Dense clouds of thick black smoke was sufficient to enable the Brigade to form a good opinion of the seriousness of the outbreak, and to judge of the inflammable contents of the burning building. Fortunately the godown-Nos. 540 and 542 Des Vœux Road-was in close proximity to the water, so that a Government floating fire engine was. enabled to lend great assistance in coping with the flames. By the time that the Brigade board were already dashed up those on

At length the heavy roof fell in with a crash sending clouds of sparks, smoke and and dust high into the air. Most of the flooring was carried away by the fall, and only the bare walls remained, surrounding a heap of
