STURTEVANT jlOUSE ON FIRE.
Eleht Booms on tho Upper Floors
Burned Out Guoats All Unharmed,
The taking Are of the Sturtevant House waa
one of the Btrangeat features of the dlsa.ter.
Very few of the guests at the hotel had gone
to bed when the alarm of fire was sent ont
from the Fifth Avenue Theatre, aud most of
those asleep wero awakened by the tremen
dous racket In the street which followed the
arrival of the flre-englnea.
From 11. 45 until nearly 1 o'clock, the front
windows of Ihe hotel were crowded with
people watehlog the progress of the Are In th
centre or the block serosa the atreet.
Those in the top floor of the hotel, however,
wero soon driven from the wlndowi by the
fierce blare from the burning theatre, which
swept over tne roofs of Ihe bulldlnga on the
other aide of the street, theatrong west wind
driving millions of reiki and firebrands
against the front of the Sturtevant House and
featuring them over the roof.
The firemen were ao busy trying to proteot
tho house adjoining tar Fifth Avenue Theatre
that they did not notice the heaps of burning
cinders that were collecting upon the mansard
roof and along tne eavea of the notel on the
ottjer tide of the street.
Ihosc In the hotel were also forgetful and
uncnnsiloua of the danger, and before long the

The old Vioodcnroot of tho bulldlog, how
ever, furnished such excellent food for the
flames, and the internal heat made it ao dim.
cult for the firemen to get at Ihe ore, that
within a quarter of an hour after the bu'ldmg
was discovered to be ablaze the whole of the
roof at tho corner or Ilroadway and Twenty

When Ihcgoe.ialn the hotel knew that the

Those who had roomi In that part of the
building were warned that their laggageand
belongings would be In dan.er, and lor a lew

gues's and porter, to gel their things out of

At 1 o'clock It looked oa If the danger to the

A GLOUCESTER PRESENTATION 1

When the number ot the winner of tho '."B
fourth raoe at Clifton waa hoisted yesterday a 3sbPJ
hush fell upon the crowd. It waa an omlnoua fisH
alienee. It wsa tbe aame calm, oppreaalve -1H
silliness that alwaya precedes a tempest II X'lH
only luted a abort time, however, and the. "l
people began to amlle at each other In a sort; U
of a shame-faced way, which said, plainly aa "tjfl
words could expreest "Well, It serves ns' VM
right." A complacent smile hovered around B
the lips of a feW who had winning tickets. '.',-'B
Bookmakers' had been scooped, and were 'iB
glum. $H
The Jndges were Indlffsreat, their faces ex- ;;B
pressing Ignorance of anything wrong, If there H
was any. What waa the trouble? Nothing: 'fl
only that W. C Daly's Cynosure, who never, H
could run In the mud, had beaten Tipstaff, one' "mM
of the fastest sprinters In the country, easily' '."j9
by three lengths, and that, too, after being' .H
almost left at the post. 5sB
Tipataff waa beaten simply because he had '-1
bad come over from Guttenbnrg In the morn- viijLPsPJ
lng and bad to walk twelve miles. This is tbe ;.B
explanation given by those who ought to
know. And, by the way, It was foggy at Ullf- jNB
ton yesterday, very foggy. , jjV
ThU wsa not the only funny thing yesterday. TH

Clifton from any more such visits. :9b1
