Norman is a five-year-old, who was sired

bred in Australia. He came to England
last year. 1t is believed that Mrs. Langtry
won something like 100000. The market on
the race was one of the most prolific known
for years, and in view of this it is not
regarded as probable that the bookmakers
will have to pay out any exceptionally
large sums
The fine weather and the open character

of the humiliation, at the end of June, of an
Abyssinian army Of three thousand men, UNI
der the control of the famous General Ras

in the interior we came upon a powerful
Somali chief, who had just returned from
the fight. He told me that the Abyssnian
force had been raiding down the Webbe-
Shebeyli river, nearly far as the forty
fifth parallel. The Sonalis then overwhelmed
them with large numbers, allowing sixty
men to go back with the news of the defeat.
Ras Mackonnen was killed during the bat
tie The affair occurred about one hundred
miles from where we were. Tie whole neigh

session of so many Italian rifles by the SOM
alis is evidence that the story told of the
Abyssinian defeat is true. The latest news
from Harrar was that Abyssinian army
