Af [ From Tuesday's Dally. ] ) a > * t The state record In straightaway 'v s hose race was smashed In the second event qf the tourney when York won the first class "A" race , over Stanton - ton , time" 28 3-5. Stanton was but a breath behind , time 28 4-5. It was a magnificent race and created great , . , enthusiasm. Each team broke the Etate record. 29. It was 250 yards. When the two teams appeared , each got a glad hand , with Stanton the fa vorite In applause.

The prizes were $25 , $15 , and Races Start.J It was after 3 o'clock when the first race In the twelfth annual tournament - , ' ment of the Nebraska firemen was , , called at the track. The grand stand * \ ' , was fairly well filled with spectators i well filled , Indeed for the first day. i f It was declared by enthusiasts at the < ? ' - ' track that fully fifty per cent of those * ' ' In1 the amphitheatre at the start were " i _ from Stanton. It was conservatively . - , jj i estimated also that a quarter of them ' , , ! " were from Pierce , a quarter from t t Madison , a quarter from Norfolk and " * a quarter from Creighton , to say noth- \ f Ing of the delegations which had ar rived from Humphrey , York , Grnnd Island , Wisner , Battle Creek , Neligh , Hosklns , Wlnside and other cities. Stanton people were feeling good over the fact that they had won the first prize In the tournament. They - said they would win more before they got through with the three days. Creighton felt good at having been the most attractive. Madison was on & th'e ground in full force , a very large number of loyal citizens from the county seat having come up for the start , Intending to remain until the finish. "We had a two-fold mission in bringing so many people to Norfolk , " said Bob Appleby , who Is as well known in Norfolk as any Norfolk cit izen. "We felt , in the first place , as though we ought to turn out to sup port the champion team. In the second end place , Norfolk is a neighboring town , and has always turned out well * to our pumpkin shows We appre ciate the spirit of Norfolk and want to reciprocate. " Stanton Brings Two Bands. Stanton brought two bands to the tournament. One is the boys' band and the other the regular band of the town. Both occupied first-class posi tions in the judges' stand. Harrison's band was also on deck. There were more than 300 in all from Stanton. "Madison would have sent 400 , " said Mayor C. S. Smith , "If we had got a special train. But we failed in that. " The timers were Grant Stucker , Stanton ; T. H. Namur , Norfolk ; J. W. Moist , York ; W. B. Vail , Norfolk. Starters were A. C. Hull of Fremont and R. Y. Appleby of Stanton , who were also starters last year. Judges were H. L. Spauldlng , Nor folk ; W. R. Locke , Wayne ; Wm. Barnes , Madison. Racers Warm Up. The agile racers were early on the the track , warming up for the tour ney. In rich blankets , their muscled limbs well groomed , they pranced around Hko so many football players. York Team Here. The York team was at the track , getting ready for the championship. There are but two class "A" teams in the tourney. The battle royal will be between these two teams all the way through. It began in the second event , when the pair of teams lined up for the straightaway , 50 yards. Yesterday's Late Races.

York Wins Two. ( From Wednesday's Dnlly.J York is the champion coupling t.eam. Stafford and Heed of York coupled In 12 : 2-5. Sonnenschcln and Hackle of Stanton - ton failed to couple. Marks and Meyer of Stanton , went In 14 2-5 , losing the belt. Lnntz and McMahon of Kearney failed to couple. Scott of Norfolk got rattled In two trials. Ho had speed. The state championship coupling contest started at 4 o'clock. Al Marks won the championship last year. There was much betting. Stanlon was enthusiastic In backing Marks. The couplers ran fifty feet and made the complete coupling. The first event in the second after noon's racing was the straightaway regulation hose race , class "A , " be tween York and Stanton. Stanton beat York across the chalk mark , but the York couplers were a little too speedy for Marks , and completed the turn in time to got the race. York's tlmo was 321-10 ; Stnnton , 321-5. Both Stanton and York broke the world's amateur record in the ama teur regulation hose race in the first event Wednesday afternoon. The second race of the afternoon scorned destined to disaster. Madi son and Norfolk first ran , Norfolk breaking a coupling. Then Hum boldt and Clarks ran , Humboldt breaking a coupling. Smashed World's Record. As an indication of what will hap pen on Thursday afternoon wh'en the balloon goes up for the state cham pionship event between Stanton and York , the fact that both Stanton and York smashed the world's record in the regulation hose race , Founds pret ty good. These teams have been run ning the 250 yards with from one- tenth of a second to one-fifth differ ence. Both are as speedy as ghosts. Every man In each team is a foot racer of the fleetest type and a race Is anticipated which will be the fast est that has ever happened in Ne braska or anywhere else. Grand Island , the only team in the class "A" regulation hook and ld- der- race , ran and completed the lad der climbing In .41. Hosklns won the regulation hook and ladder race , class "B , " time 44 3-5. Their ladder climber made a pretty turn. Attendance Good. The racing began promptly at 2:30 : o'clock , with a well filled gallery , In cluding a great many ladles from both Norfok and abroad. The track was in splendid condition , and the day Ideal for the race. By 3 o'clock the grand stand had filled completely , from end to end. It was not packed but It was thor oughly filled. A conservative esti mate placed the number present at 1,500. The local committee Is more than pleased with the size of the crowds which have already arrived. It Is thought that the crowds for Thursday afternoon will be a record breaker. ' A number of Norfolk business houses have signified their intention to close during the racing , and the firemen have requested that others follow. The barber shops will all , by mutual consent , be closed during the after noon. The Norfolk Young Ladles' band held the fort in the judges' stand and played during the races. Mrs. Pear- sail of Lynch , formerly leader of the ladies' band at that place and "now leader of the boys' band in Lynch , ar rived and led the band with cornet. Race Notes. The same time keepers , judges and starters who had served on the first day , held over for the second day. Editor 'Enos of Stanton , who has been laid up for some time , was on the track. Editor Pont also saw the racing , Rev. Father Kropa , of Spencer , Rev. Father Drlscoll , of Blair , and Rev. Father Walsh of Norfolk were among the spectators. Harry Miller and Bob Appleby came back from Stanton to see that the team won. "We have got to do It , " they said , In concert. York boys brought In a little , dried- up street vender , a tramp of perhaps fifty years , and trotted him around the track with much gusto. Roy Wllklns , the York boy who was hurt in the race on Tuesday , was at the grounds again. Into his head a spike had run. The scalp was scraped for fully an Inch. A number of the young men In the Harrison band of Grand Island joined the Norfolk ladles' band during the afternoon nnd took part in the mu sic. The uniforms wore of nbout the same color , In red. When the PI Hetn Phi party from Stnnton arrived , Mr. Qulllen , n mem- lior of the Grand Island linn-Icon imnd , mndo across the trnck to greet thorn. Ills comrades In the bnnd bawled him out. President Reynolds lind just announced that no one would bo permitted across the truck. Miss IXMI Young , dnughtor of W , W. Young of Stnnton , who Is thla week cntertnlnlng n house jmrty innde up of members of her sorority nt the university , PI Hetn Phi , arrived nt the track for the afternoon's rac ing. Mr. Young calls them "his girls" nnd IK a very selfish chnperone. Chairman Reynolds of the cxofcu- tlvu committee , announced before the beginning of the races that hereafter no persons , firemen or otherwise will be allowed to Interfere with the view from the grandstand. This was grat ifying to the crowd and wan received with applause. Chairman Reynolds also announced that thoKo tennis that drew prizes could secure their money by calling on the treasurer HH the association had money In the Imuk ready to pay nil purses. This an nouncement wns received with cheers by the visiting firemen. A peculiar Incident occurred In n hose race In which Bancroft , with the Indian leader , was running. There wore five tennis entered , HO that two pairs ran hub nnd hub nnd the fifth ran alone. It was not HO much \\hlch of the hub nnd hub teams cnine In first In each heat , but which made the best time of the five. The In- dlnn leader for Bancroft seemed to forget that he wns running against time. He thought It wns against the team which came alongside. So lie took off his hat and made n piny by waving It to the opposing runners , urging them on. The result was Unit Humboldt , running nil alone , took the race. Not an Audience. "This Is a large audience , " re marked one of the lawyers In the grand stand. The merchant along side took exceptions. "There Is perhaps no word In the English language , " Bald the mer chant , "that is so much' misused as that. 'Audience' Is a word moaning an assembly of persons to hear some thing. The word Is derived from the Latin word 'audio' meaning to hear. When used as a crowd of persons to sec something , It Is absolutely wrong. A crowd of people to witness a per formance are 'spectators , ' coming from the Latin , 'aplclo' meaning to see. A grandstand full of people nt a football game , a horse race or a bull fight is a crowd of spectators. " THE CROWD GATHERED AND THREW CONFETTI MUCH. WAS A VERY ORDERLY THRONG It Surged From One End of the Street to the Other , and Then Back Again And Then It Went Home , as Good Crowds Should. The first night of the firemen's tournament was a wild one for fair. It was an ideal firemen's tourney night and everybody In the mlxed-ui jam had a rattling good time. From early in the evening until long into the wee hours of today , there were yelling men and women , screaming iris , squeaking rubber instruments and all of that. There was confett galore , but luckily , In obeying tht order of Chief of Police Kane , there wns nothing save confetti throwi Into the faces. The streets were early crowded with the merry makers who ha < dropped down town to "do" the tour ney. From one end of Norfolk to the otherthey jostled , and then thej Jostled back again. They swartncc from pillar to post and then across the avenue , surging hither and thlth er , anywhere and everywhere , and nowhere at any time In particular. The dozens of concessionaires who line the avenue with their various stores and attractions , yelled their lungs off from sunset until the las forlorn stranger had wandered off the street long after he ought to have been In bed. The thoroughfare was well fillec with teams and bicycles and carrl ages of those Norfolk persons who had come down to see the doings And they nil enjoyed It , too. Even the teams had fun. Some of the fun was enough to make a horse laugh. There were no runaways. The little rubber ball on the em of a string , which you had throwi Into your facial features at every other Htep , played an Important rol In the evening's performance. The tiny feather duster , too , had a share In the proceedings. The pretty gir wns there , to say saucy things whei you passed by , nnd the man wa -there to catch her at It. There was nothing of a sonsatlonn nature to stir the evening's Jan There was nothing outside the jai and the crowd nnd the mob nnd th throng. It laughed and played an walked about , Hko any orderly crowc on a firemen's tourney night ongh to do , nnd then It went home , who the time came , and went to bed. 1 was a good crowd all the wa through , and It will be on ham right nnd early ngnln tonight The concert glvHi by the Hnrrlflon Kind of Ornml Inland last night , nt 10 con or of Norfolk nvenuo and ourth street , \vun the center of In- rest lor n couple of hourH.
