The racing stables caught fire, and were saved by the firemen. The scenic and arts build- ing, recently constructed, also caught fire. Never before has Win- nipeg seen such a spectacular fire, and it was the first time on record that each one of the eleven halls has attended a blaze. Flames could be seen from all parts of the city, and' that all the buildings on the grounds were not reduced to a heap of ashes is considered mira- culous. The loss is estimated at 870,000, which is partially covered by insurance in a number of insur- anée companies. Every man in the employment of the city will be put to work on the exhibition grounds; for the as80¢ ciation is determined to have 'af least a temporary grand stand for the annual fair. ~ ) While the fire was still byruing a meeting of tle directors of the In- dustrial Exhibition Association wae held in one of the adjacent build- -- ings, the Mayor and Aldermen of the city being present. 'The out- come of their joint deliberations was that the grand stand would be rebuilt immediately. The Engin- eer of construction and the Bireet 'Commissioners Departmnt put a thousand men at work clearing the ground of debris, and five hundred carpenters got busy on the new structure, so that the exhibition was only delayed one day. It was announced by the directors that the opening day of the exhibition would be July 13, instead of July 12.

The plans for the com- pany's plant at Sydney are now well under way and will shortly be submitted to the Government for approval. They call for an expen- diture of $6,000,000 and include the placing in position of g dry-dock, which will be one of the largest in the world, its length being put at 1,040 feet and its width at 110 fees. It is hoped to have the plant in operation within two years and to have the naval ships well advanced towards completion inside of five years. ) KILLED 484,320 FLIES. | San Antonto Boys' Slaughter Pile 8 Feet High and 5 Long.
