Bessie Wiiton's Fast Mile.
Fort WAYNE, Aug. 10.-The Grand Circuit
steppers made their first bow to an Indiana
crowd this afternoon. When the six days
meeting began 1t was scorching hot, with a light
wind, and the track deep in dust Three hours
later the clouds darkened, and o wind storm
caused drop Of thirty degrees in the tempera-
ture. On its heels came thunder shower that
drove everybody to cover. made n lake of the
course, and put q stop to further sport for the
day. Two OF the three classes in the opening
card had been decided.
Ed b. Young was much too precocious for tho
rest OF the youngsters IN the 2:35 pace. and
both heats were simply fun for him. Then the
fallen Sewburger, whose defeat by Emma Of
fult two weeks ago was one Of the sensations at
Cleveland, had another Of the lucky engage
ments in which he outclassed his field. He
stepped away promptly in the first heat, and
Nalence, who was expected to be dangerous
could not make the roam trotter go faster than
2:l6It. That settled all dispute, and the pro-
cession went on for two more heats.
The monotony was relieved when the ESQ
trotters appeared. Bessie Wilton ruled the bet
ting on the strength of her fast miles at Column
bus last week. when she took Derby Princess
into camp. This time the latter had a measure
OF revenge for the Wilton mare. who made q
mistake IN the lrst heat. ana gave the other
chance to score once in moderate time. The
two fleet hllles went at each other early in tho
second heat and the clip was lively until
fsil back, Edmenio took up the aght and
carried Bessie homo in 2:l1I. with Dick
Hubbard Tapped on them. and going faster than
they, until he lost his stride. There wero no
mishaps in the third heat, and Derby Princess
fairly outfoOted the kentucky favorite, closing
quite a gap in the second quarter. and after
carrying Bessie Wilton to the last turn. beat
her by an open length through the stretch In
Bessie, and she has still chance with the rest
over night. Summary:

Suggested for Berlin

For the vacancy in the diplomatic
service occasioned by the death Of
Ambassador Runyon, the crop of can
didates was early and large. Some Of
the newspapers put in circulation the
story that Potter Palmer would be
named, but this prediction was prompt
ly followed with the comment that. IL
the honor went 10 the Palmer family at
all. II would certainly be given TO Mrs.
Potter Palmer. In Minister Grants

ing, over and above the salary, to keep
up a diplomatic establishment at a cap
ital in Europe. Mrs. Palmer, were she
named for Berlin. would do the thing
in style-but what folly 1T would seem
to the old gentleman to be.
Mr.. Bayard was talked Of; the likeli-
hood of his transfer from the court of
st. James was suggested. There never
was ground for this gossip. At the
same time, Ambassador Bayard could
spare himself a good deal of home

\ few days ago the Washington Post
mildly proposed Mr. Bowler. first comp
troller Of the treasury, for London. In
the treasury department Bowler has
made himself as disagrecable as pos

people. The Post commends Bowler on
the theory that ne is Of no earthly good
