L'ALoUETTE THE WINNER.
Unexpected Happened in the $4,000 Fu-

Unexpected Happened in the $4O.O 900 Fu-
turity Race.
New YORK, Aug. 25.-The unex-
pected happened at Sheepshead Bay
and the FLY L'Alouette, of the Thomp-
son string, won the $4,000 Futurity
with something to spare. Her hackers
were happy, for although her victory.
was surprise, she was coupled in the
betting with her stable mates, Gibralter
and Hugenot, and as the stable was the
favorite for the race, the ring suffered.
The other unsupported thing was the
running of Lydian, who got the place.
There were 18 starters.
The bugle called the horses to the
post at 4:45 o'clock. There were about
12,G0O or $4,000 people present. The
horses went to the post in Indian ME
and all of them looked to be in the pink
of condition. At five minutes to five
the starter got them in line and sent
them away. During the first furlong
they were well punched, none seeming
forget ahead of the others. Cock Robin
took the lead at the quarter and held 1t
for two furlongs, giving way to Urlel
for short time. AS they came out into
the stretch L'Alouette came out OF the
bunch and soon had length the adj
vantage of Lydian and thus they ran to
the finish. Uriel was third.

After Hard Fighting.
LONDON, Aug. 25.-An official dis
patch from Simla announced that Fort
Maude, in the Khyber Pass, has been
captured by the Afridis after desperate
fighting. The garrison, which was
composed of native levies known as the
Khyber Rifles, retired with the loss of
three men. The Afridis afterwards
burned the fort.
At the same time that Fort Maude
was abandoned the Khyberer Rifles,
garrisoned at Fort Jeangera, were COM
PEELED to abandon that place. The area
of active fighting is charging rapidly.
The Afridis attacked with great deter
mination the fortified post at Sudda,
but were not successful in capturing it.
Parochinar was also attacked The re-
suits of this attack and of the fighting
at Fort Ali Musjid are not known.
The British military authorities have
now modified $4,000 men for frontier
operations, which with the frontier
garrison makes $4,000 men available to
put against the insurgents.

Five Cents.
CHICAGO, Aug. 25.-The bears had an
inning in wheat during the day. The
September option at one time sold 8
cents below the previous days highest
prices. December beat this by N cents.
The closing showed a loss for the day of
514 cents in September and 81 cents in
December. Heavy and long continued
liquidation was the cause of the break.
The weakness was in foreign markets
and the break in the coarse grains were
factors. The bull clique threw over
their holdings in corn and oats and de-
clines of 23s cents in corn and J to
of cent in oats resulted. Provisions
also suffered, pork declining 171a cents
and lard ~ cents. Ribs closed prac-
tically unchanged.
