THK WINNERS.
Fitzhngh Let',
Cricket,
Auction Boy.
J The races yesterday afternoon at
I Melrose Driving Park ware hy fur the
most interesting and exciting of the
season and the crowd in attendance
was twice as large as ever before.
Dead head Hill, just over the fence,
was crowiled with people, but this
did not prevent tlie management of
the association from taking in a great
deal of money at the gate. The fit
tendance of ladies was more than
usually large, and the bill
overlooking the track was
tangle of vehicles. The grounds
W?re crowded with fakirs from
everywhere, drawn here by the
races. They did a good business with
the crowd who were intent on enjoy?
ing 1 beir holiday.
The Urst event was a running race
one-half mile heats, best 2 in 3,
weight for age; purse $125. One bun
Ired dollars went to first and $23 to
second. The horses to start were
Cricket, Fit/. Lee,Lula T. and Tripple
Cross.
It took all three heats to decide the
contest. In the first Cricket was an
easy winner, taking the lead at the
start and keeping it until the finish,
crossing the wire two lengths ahead
of Fitz Lee. with Tripple Cross third,
and Lula T. away in the rear. The
latter was distanced and consequently
barred out of the race. Time 52.
The st.nd heat was also very in?
teresting. The start was a
good one, and Cricket again
took the lead, but Lee pressed him
hard and at the quarter gave him the
go-by. From this point the race was
a beautiful one. and the horses came
down the stretch part of the way neck
and neck. Lee won. Time, OCK.
In the third race Lee took the lead
and won with ease by half a length.
Cricket second. Cheney, who rode
Lee, didn't touch him with the whip
and he sprang around the track iu
great shape. Time, 524.
SECOND RACK.
Thesecond race was trotting, mile
heats, best 8 in 5 to harness. A purse
of $150 was offered. *110 to go to the
first and $40 to second.
The entries were Hugh Dver's
"Frederick," Doctor White's "LittU
Jim," YV. C. Williams1 "Auction Boy"
and Mr Barl >oe s "Bil 1 v But ton."' The
latter horse was a good favorite and
was driven by Harrington, who had
had him in training for some time.
Billy jumped ahead at the wire and
led until the finish, the others string?
ing out behind with Little Jim a good
second, Auction Boy third anil Fred?
erick last. In the second heat Billy
again won easily, and they began to
think Barbce's horse would have a
walk-over, but it soon transpired that
he didn't. Mr. Bradshaw had up to
this time b??n driving Auction Boy.
The Lyi.cfl ?urg m;.n weighs over
20U pouncls,e.ud of course the horse was
handicapped. Ed. Fagin, of Bich
niond, now took the ribbons, and he
picked Auction right off bis feet, and
after a struggle lifted him easily over
the wire with Billy n little behind.
Harrington protested and appealed to
the judges to have the jockeys
weighed, but Mr. Williams said that
it had been agreed that this shouldn't
be done.
Thejudges sustained Williams. The
fourth heat was almost a repetition of
tin; other, and this time little Billy
gave signs of weakening, and Little
Jim took second place with Billy
third. The fifth heat also resulted
in a victory for Auction, and he was
declared the winner. Billy Button
taking the place.
The third and last race was a three
quarters dash. There were three en?
tries: Mary T., Repudiator and Josh
Billings. Mary took the lead and
kept it, Josh and Repudiator lighting
hard for second, two lengths behind.
Josh got it after an exciting struggle
in the stretch.
MORNING GAME.
The second game of ball between
the Roanokes and Bristols yesterday
morning was a very good one in ?
great many respects, and was won by
the home team by a score of 6 to 2.
The Roanokes got in most of their
work in the early part of the contest,
and was based on the wild throws of
the pitcher. It may have been on ac?
count of the unusual feature of ball
playing in the morning, or it may
have been on account of its one-sided
ness, but anyhow the audience did
not look on with the enthusiasm they
generally do, notwithstanding that at
least (?00 spectators were present.
Quarles and Reefer, pitcher and
catcher, respectively, for the Roanoko
club, clothed themselves all over with
glory, and never failed at a critical
moment. The other battery also set?
tled down to hard work towards the
latter part of the gam*, and had they
done as well in the first innings the
result would have been very different.
On one, and probably two occasions
towards the last innings the Roanokes
were retired when all the bases were
filled, with only one man out. The
following is the score:

One of the most beautiful displays
and what turned out to be one of the
most thrilling displays of Are works
ever witnessed in this city was that
which occurred from the summit of
the engine hous? last night. While
thousands were admiring the grand?
eur of the scene, those in the tower in
charge of the fire works were expei
iencing one of the most horrible or?
deals of their live?, and they narrowly
escaped death. Messrs. Joe Engleby,
Thomas Engleby, Frank Moore an 1
John Me.Dermitt were the firemen on
the tower. The circumstances are
these: They had taken fireworks
there for the occasion and place!
them iu a large box. After these gen?
tlemen had entered the. tower, they
had for convenience placed the box
with ita contents, weighing over 200
pounds over the trap door, thereb
shutting out all means of exit. A s
fate would have it, a skyrocket set, of
from some locality near by, alighted
in the box and ignited its entire con
tents. Such terrific explosions as fol
lowed, and such a dense smoke of
powder cannot be recalled by the old
eat soldier. Such terrific grandeu
brought forth the greatest applans
from below.and the cry of "fire" fron
these ill-fated firemen was taken up
in jest by the throng below until th
whole locality resounded with tha
terrible word. The distance from tin
tower to the roof was ove
thirty feet, and a jump which would
natrally be postponed to the lost mo
ment. In the meantime, the firemen
in the tower continued to shou.
"fire," and beg that the hose b?
turned on. and were rapidly being
overcome by suffocation and heat.
Finally it dawned upon the firemen
beneath what had occurred, am!
turning a stream of water into the
tower, soon extinguished the fire. In
the noise and turmoil, the appeals of
the endangered men had not been
heard, and had they neglected to
have thrown the water two minutes*
longer, there is no telling what the
consequences would have beeen. As
it was these firemen escaped with
only a few burnt garments, but they
do not hesitate to say that it was
the most precarious position they
were ever in before, and consider tha1
they very narrowly escaped BUffoca

The ball at the Vigilant Firemen'.'

and was one of the most enjoyable

their generosity was highly appreci?

The colored man and the colored
women put on their Sunday duds, and
turned out in such numbers as t>
threaten a watermelon famine. Th ?
lemonade venders and the stree.
fakirs were on every street corner,
and did a profitable business.
* ?
In addition to the demonstration of
fireworks by the Viglants last night,
it seemed that everybody who could
raise money enough to buy a squib,
bought one and promptly set it oil.
Sky-rockets and Roman candles liter
allv filled and illuminated the atmos?
phere.
* ?
The only light yesterday of an}'
importance was that between a very
imputcnt negro and one of the fire?
men, in which the negro came ou';
considerably the worse off. It oc?
curred on Railroad avenue, and o'
course created a great deal of excite?
ment for the time being.

A most enjoyable picnic was held in
the woods near Vinton yesterday
which was attended and highly en?
joyed by a number of young people
from this city. They took baskets of
delicacies and substantial* with them,
which were spread upon the ground
and devoured by the happy reveler;
with greedy appetites. Otherwise th ;
day was spent in various way^,
such as roaming through the woods,
plucking wild flowers, etc., etc.
* *
A horse on Railroad avenue, de?
corated all over with little United
States flags, took up a horrible idea
of the fire crackers, and when one
exploded near him he made one long,
sonorous snort, two lunges and in
an instant was catering down Rail?
road avenue at a rate of speed which
suggested death and destruction. The
driver held on manfully, however, to
the reins, and succeeded in stopping

The glorious Fourth has come and
SCone. The small boy has extracted a
great deal of sport out of it; the pa?
rade was a grand success;the fireworks
last night were beautiful and nothing
was wanting to make the day one long
to be remembered.
The parade was the great feature of
yesterday's celebration. Promptly at
!) o'clock it btarted from the engine
house and wound its way alone the
principal streets of the city. Ti e
sidewalks wer? thronged with people
and many of the houses along the
route af the prccewion wer? han?
somely decorated with flags ana
bunting.
Pretty girls thronged the porches
and waved their handkerchiefs ;*s
some favorite organization, to which
brother, father or sweetheart be?
longed, passed by. TbeRoanoke Ma?
chine Works Band,twenty strong,had
the right of the line and made as
good music ub usual. This is as high
a compliment as could be paid them.
Next came a carriage occupied by
Chaplain Bushnd', and after this
another in which was seated Mayor
Evans and Senator Trout. They
were cheered a number of times along
the line. There were several other
carriages occupied by officers of the
various organizations participating
Next came the Junior Urder of
American Mechanics, numbering
aJbout sixty men, and as handsome
and healthy looking sixty men as
could be found anywhere. They had
as their guests the lodge from Milnes
about thirty-live men.
The Independent Order of Odd Fel?
lows made a fineBhowing and were as
well drilled as any soldiers In the coun?
try. Their evolutions were execute!
with a quickness and precision that
merits more than a parsing notice.
There were about forty men in the
parade and their appearance was
something to be proud of.
The Red Men in their scarlet re?
galias made an attractive appearance.
1'hey too were very well drilled and
commanded, and the several mys?
tic emblems which they carried, took
the fancy of the small boy as well as
Iiis brother of a larger growth.
After the Red Men came the various
hose companies and the members
turned out in full force. Looking at
their stalwart forms tbe owner of a
bouse felt a certain eeuhc of security
weep over him. Roanoke has un?
doubtedly some of the best lire com?
panies in the State and the member*
take and interest and have an enthus
iasm about their work that can b )
found in very few place?. The engine*
und re*ls of the various companies
were beautifully decorated with flags
and flowers and attracted much at?
tention.
The Roanoke Light Infantry
brought up the rear of the column.
About thirty of the boys who wear
the gray were in line under the com
maud of Captain Brook'' and when
they passed by tho young ladie.? oh
the porches and aio.!g tho street were
captivated. There is nothing like a
gray coat with big brass buttons Lo
capture the average feminine fancy.
When the line reached t!:<v Third
ward school building a halt wa? called
and the various organizations rented.
The opportunity was improved by the
rairing of a flag and 86 the stars and
stripes were raised and the breeze
caught up the silken fabric and
shook it out, the band played the
' Red, White and Blue" and a sheut
went up from a thousand throats.
"Dixie" was next on the program and
then the cheers were twice as loud and
as long.
Under the command of Chief Mar?
shal McDonnell the procession again
took up the line of march, winding
around the grounds of the Hotel Roa?
noke and back again to the engine
house. It was a success in the best
sense of the word and the promoters
should have the sincere thanks of
every one who enjoyed it.

Ticket.
A reporter of the Inquirer dropped
into the Farmers and Traden* bank
yesterday morning and learned from
the cashier that the cash had been
forwarded for one-twentieth of ticket
No. 40,350, which drew tbe first capi?
tal prize of #"00,000 in the drawing of
theLouisiana State Lottery on the 13th
instant.
Being fully assured by the cashier
that tbe $15,000 was actually depotited
in the bank, the reporter started out to
interview Milton Mays, the owner. He
was found with his wagon and team
on a side street awaiting an order to
haul a load of coal or ashes.
"DoubtlesH you can now tell us
something of the feelings of a rich
man as well a3 those of a poor one,
Milt," said the reporter.
"No, sir, I have never folt the differ?
ence."
"Did you over own a ticket before?"
"No, sir. It was my first. I had
done a good day's work and while
shopping in off my wagon for a glass
of beer, concluded that I would throw
away one dollar on the lottery. The
tickets were placed before me, and I
picked out the brightest in my eye."
"What have you done with the
money?"
"One-half. $7,500, is deposited to my
credit in the bank, the other half is
held in the hands of the bank by an
injunction sworn out by a fellow who
claims to have been a partner with
me."
"What will you do with the money?"
"Part of it will go for a bomo, part
for a better team, and the rest will be -
Wifely invested. I know how to haul
coal and ashes and will not change my
business."
Just then a colored citizen came up
to pay his respects to the wealthy
colored man, and the reporter with?
