Horse Rnccs and RnfraIo.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Aug. 1.-THE sixth annual
meeting of the Buffalo driving park closed to-
day, Goldsmith Maid making theiastest time in
three straight heats on record by quarter of a
second. Over twenty thousand persons were on
the grounds The two-torty race proved uneX-
pectedly interesting and exciting, "Judge Brig
ham," comparatively new horse, making
splendid record, winning the race in four
heats, making the first quarter in thirty-one
seconds and the middle half in :06. Immedi-
ately after the race Judge Brigham" was
bought by George c. Hall for $50 900, for Jay
Gould, who says 100000 will not buy him
Judge Brigham" is a bay stallion, eight years
old, by Rysdick's Hambletonian, out of Lady
Sandtord by American Star.
In the $40 race thirteen horses were entered
ress," 'Long Branch" Sentinel" ed. Hie-
gins" and ''Clara g." drawn. Over three-quar-
tiers of an hour was lost in scoring before the
horses got a good send-off. Judge Fullerton"
took the lead and kept in the first heat. The
three following straight heats were won by
Brigham" After leaving the hali-mle pole
on the last heat, brigham" broke, Fullerton"
shooting twenty lengths ahead. Brigham"
came down to trOt, overtaking Fullerton" at
the three-quarter post and coming in half
length ahead. The purse was $4,000, Judge
Fullerton" taking the second money, ST. 900, and
~. H. Burke" third, 500. ashland Pet" was
drawn on the third heat, and Frank Hobart"
and "Vosburg" distanced on the second. Time:
2;25l, 2 %, 2 :22f, :26g.
In the great race of the day Goldsmith
Maid" trotted three heats without skip or
break until the last heat, when she was crowded
from beginning to end by "Lpcy," who Tapped
her through but after one OF the most closely
contested heats ever witnessed. Then she only
made two quick breaks, one at the start and one
on the home stretch. On coming to start on
thessecond heat the left rein of Goldsmith
broke and the mare started to run, when Budd
Dobble her driver, performed an astonishing
feat by seizing the back strap, jumping astride
of the mares back, selzing the check rein aud
bringing her 10 a standstill before she had gone
many lengths beyond the judges stand.
SUMMARY
Purse $5000 for all horses, S3O00 $500 and $500,
and $500 additional to the horse making the fast

Music AND THE DRAMA.-COming events in
the musical and dramatic world cast their
shadows before. Concerning the prospective
Nilsson troupe, it will be interesting to learn
that the season is to open at New York Oct. %
with "Iraviata," this is to be followed by
"Mignon" and "L'0mbre" by Flotow, a work
entirely new to America. Rumor speaks of
Nine. MOnbelli as an addition the company.
CapOul, the new tenor, is different in appear
ance from the usual stage heroes with their
fierce black moustaches and sparkling eyes. He
is slender "blonde," has light. curly hair and
whiskers, and is considered very handsome. In
theatricals, the most important announcement
is that Fechter has bought out the New York
Theatre Francois, and proposes to tear it down
and erect in its place one of the handsomest
structures of the kind in the United States
The front and portico are to be of the Roman
style of architecture, the front columns
resting on the curbstone. The usual dome and
other accessories of this style of architecture
will be erected, and the whole arrangement Of
the interior will be new. The parquette will be
nearly on a level with the street, and there will
be but two tiers or circles above it. Some novel
features will be introduced in the lighting of
the stage and the disposition of the scenes. The
orchestra will be entirely out of view, and Gov
cred over with a magnificent trellis work of
flowers, as in an arbor, and on either side foun-
tains will play between the acts. Mr.. Fechter
is determined to make this theatre frst-class in
the most complete sense of the word The per-
Torrance will be English drama exclusively,
with, perhaps, a summer season of French
drama by the company from New Orleans.

LAGER BEER IN CHICAGO.-Lager beer con-
sumers are chuckling over the fact that Chicago
is n remarkably healthy city. 1t is remarkable
for its beer drinking capacity. LIPS brewery
there, which employs 1870 men, sold last year
$4,000 barrels Of ale and beer-an increase over
the previous year of 1900 barrels-30 gals, "a
glasses TO the gallOn-which amounts to 2S,0S0,-
900 glasses, equal, at five cents glass, to ST.
100000. This brewery is one out of six Others
here. TO be sure it is the largest one,
but the others uutedly manufacture
about twice as much as Lll's, making
S5,240,000 glasses Of malt-for Chicago. 1t is
fair to state that small percentage is used in
Milwaukee and neighborng towns, but fully
scven-eighths are consumed in this city, or
enough to give every man, woman and child in
the whole country two glasses each! And when
we consider that there were used throughout the
country last year over 22,OOO,OOO beer stamps,
each representing keg or barrel, equal to 49,
600, 900, 900 glasses which would give 40 drinks
each to every man, woman and child in the
whole country So much for lager.-COr. Hart

THE ALABAMA CLAIMS.
In the house Of lords to-day Lord Redesdale
questioned the right of the United States to
maintain its demand for indemnity for damages
caused by the Alabama, now that the American
government had granted amnesty to the late
rebels, and reconciliation with them was com
plete He also asked whether the government
intended to bring this point to the arbitrator
at Geneva, and proceeded to argue it at great
length. Lord Granville replied that the ques
ton of liability for depredations of the Alabama
would be argued in all its bearings before the ar
bitrators by Sir Rounded Palmer and other emf
nent council retained on the part of Great
Britain whose interests certainly would not
suffer for lack of able and learned defenders.
