A Urge mmtilur from C o I iikm drove to the village to witnesi the rue-, which was for 8100 a side. Several drove to the farm of S. .'twatllng, near the squednet, where the horses were tied in the barn and the pleasure seekers left for the .scene of the race. Just after the first beat the spectators were startled by a cloud of smoke from the vicinity of the barn wh^'re the hors-s were tied. The excitement o f ti e race was nothing com pared to the wild scene as the crowd rushed from the river to the burning buildings to save the imprisoned horses, who were frantic with pain and terror anti some of whom were already burn ing, Rravi! men sprang in among the horses and with knives, cutting halters and harnes*', succeeded lu freeing many, but at least eleven horses were lost. The following from Cohoes lost hordes: W II. Ring, John Ilatirahan, F. Laferricre and Ribbllt& Conboy, two hor.ses. A t am owned by Reuben Mar tin, a W atervllet farrair, was also de stroyed and a horse valued at 81,000, owned by Warren Wager of West Troy. Mr. SwaillBg, the owner of the barn, lost nine cows and three borees. The race wai on the ice between Victor GUy, owned by Kane b rothers of Cohoes, and Nellie, owned by Manley Woodln of Clifton Park The latter horse easily dlstanct.-d the rlyal In three straight heats. TQc b tai time was 3.24 1 2 The ju d g e s w ere P h ilip D o n a b n e o f W a ter ford and Charle Canton and James Bosh. of Cohoes. Shortly after 4 o’clock, be tween the first and second heats, the smoke was seen Issuing from the barn. The scene was quiikly transformed into one of confusion, eycryoi e endeavoring to liberate his animal fastoned In the b urn ing structure. Most succeeded In free ing tliolr horses. Reuben Mai tin of Clif ton park lost a team valued at more tliau .8100. Tho total loss. Including fourteen cows, the horsc», two barns, a corn crib, hay and farm Implements, is estimated at 88,000. Mr. Swatling had a small In surance. The origin of the fire Is thought to be incendiary. It was thought a l the lime tb i t no bo- man lives were los*, but it Is now be lieved to be neaOy certain that at least one person perished in the flames. Dan iel Potts, a young roan residing near Crescent, was seen to enter the barn pre vious to the IPe and was not seen to come out again. He cairied in bis band a basket with groceries, whicn he pro cured at Cohoes. He has not been seen or heard of since the Are. A search for bis remains will be made.
