Maud Beat. Her Time at Cleveland.

The fleet little mare trottcd a mile over a
slow course in two minutes eight and three
quarter seconds. An account says: The
mare recovered herself, and settled down
TO an even clip that was like a whirlwind.
She reached the rstquarterin sega 2:1O
gait. Then Bair begun to urge her and
she trotted the next quarter in 80 sec
onds, 2:0S gait, and reached the half in
1:o4h. She flew on like a bird. and the old
timers began to declare, amidst great en-
thusiasm, that she was breaking her won
derful record. Passing the half she in
creased her speed and went over the back
stretch at a terrific gait. The third quarter
was trotted in 31 seconds, the fastest one OF
the mile. On the lowerturn she was seen to
raise her head suddenly, and it seemed GER
tain that she would goo off her feet. Bfir
caught her, however, and on she flew. Com
ing up the home stretch the awful strain
began to tell on her, and she slowed up.
Bair applied the whip, however, and she re-
sponded quickly. She dashed under the
wire a. tremendous clip having finished the
last quarter in 33a seconds, and the mile
IN 2:oS x. No one except the Judges and
reporters knew that the record had been
broken. There was great excitement in the
judges stand.

lowing telegram:

N. D'Lesseps in his report on the
Panama Canal company maintains
that the canal will be completed in
1888. The total cost Of piering will
Be 2s, 100000 francs, to which must
be added interest on capital, etc. The
great French engineer ought to be
heartily ~applauded by Americans. In
the construction ofthe Panama canal,

the carping criticism Of many people,
but he will come out victorious at
last, and will receive the homage OF
all nations.

The American Colony in London
is reported to be much exercised
over the conduct of one or two Of the
leading clubs in that city in blackball-
ing Americans who sought admission.
1T appears that the Americans who
were subjected to this treatment had
been very oficious in cultivating and
entertaining Englishmen at the New
York clubs. Thus was toadyism re-
warded, and the general verdict is that
they were served right.
