Splendid work on the part of the Cantfen fire deparUnent prevented the destruction of a tool house, cook house, bunk buUdtng and a pump house located a short distance from tbe stables. Considerable equipment us^d on the race course was removed to safety. The fire was one of the most spec tacular seen In Ihla area la years. The names had gained auch headway that the I ulldlngs were a tea of tire when the tiremen arrived. The heat became B(, intense that hundreds of specta tor* who bad motored to the area at- traced by the brilliant reflection In the sky, were unable to get nearer rhan six hundred feet of the •burning buildings. Firemen, realising the atablea were doomed, confined their efforts toward saving a group of buildings at the rear of the biasing atractures. Willis Cantay, who has charge of the Springdale layout, stated Wednes day morning that there were no horses In the stable^ but that there waa con- liderable race oonrae material that had been stored there. He was unable to estimate the Iom or make any BtaUemeLt as to what would be done toward rebuildtpg the pkuit The* Springdale courae aad bnUdingB are tho property of Harry D.
