A GTeat Day for Racing at Co|um-
bus, Ohio.
Many Sensations Furnished in the Two
Twelve Trot.
The Abbott, Thought to be a Sure
Winner, Beaten Out by Eagle
Flanagan, Though the Former
Made the Fastest Heat TrOttec
This Season-Results on Other
Tracks.

COLUMBUS, Aug. 5-This was a
great day for racing at the Columbus
Driving Park The track was in fine
condition.
The PIP trot furnished enough SEN
sations for a week. The Abbott was
thought to be a sure winner and sold
in the pools at $1O0 to $50 for the
field However, The Abbott proved
that he was great performer, if he did
no better than take second money. In
the first heat The Abbott got a bad
start, and Geers only drove him to
avoid the distance flag, Eagle Flanna-
gan taking the heat after a hot brush
with Octavia and Cresceus. In the
second heat The Abbott and Eagle
Flanagan came down the stretch like
a whirlwind, the Eagle broke under the
lash, but The Abbott Won by a neck,
the fastest heat trotted this season,
2:0S14. In the third heat The Abbott
broke just after the start, but soon
caught up with the bunch, pushing the
Eagle in the stretch so hard that the
latter was forced to break, and had to
take second place. The Abbott broke
again just after the start in the fourth
heat, but caught up with the leaders,
Eagle and Cresceus, and was making a
grand squirt IN the SlT6lcH wien Hc
broke again, dropping back into last
place, the Eagle beating Cresceus out in
a hot finish. In the fifth heat The
Abbott destroyed all chances Of win
ming by breaking for the fourth time,
and Eagle Flanagan won the heat and
race in the slow time Of 2:12A.
The only favorite to win was Lady Of
the Manor in the 2:19 pace, who barely
escaped the distance flag in the first
heat Hubinger drove Grace Hastings
to beat her record Of 2:O9 (made to a

THE CHINESE SITUATION.
Prospect of an Open Conflict Be-
tween Russia and Great Britain.

LONDON, August 5.--There is great
uneasiness on all sides here, in view Of
the Chinese situation, which is regarded
as bringing an open conflict between
Great Britain and Russia within meas
urable distance, and it is universally
felt that the Marquis of Salisbury's In
vertebracy in yielding to Russian ag-
gressiveness is responsible for the dam
gerous complication, which con only be
overcome by the prompt and most firm
intimation that Russia's open opposi-
ton to British commercial concessions
must cease.
In this connection the story is current
that the Princess of Wales hurried de-
parture from England was in response
to dispatch from her sister, the Dow
ager Empress of Russia, bearing upon
the Anglo Russian relations. 1t is well
known that the Dowager Empress is
strenuously working to conclude a de-
finite understanding regarding Anglo
Russian interests in the Far East, and
it is said great importance attaches to
the meeting of the sisters at Copenha-
gen.

CREATED A SENSATION.

Speed, Of Hioks-Beach Deeply Impressed
England.
LONDON, Oct. 2O.-The speech of Sir
Michael Hicks Beach that the govern
ment is firm in its demand that France
leaves Fashoda has deeply impressed
England and the utmost concern is felt
as to how France will receive it. The
idea has been prevalent that the French
have not realized how seriously England
felt on the Fashoda question, which has
been coupled with a desire that France
would not force England to an armed
support of Lord Salisbury's stand.
Most of the morning papers elaborate
some of the excited statements Of the
belligerent preparations of France. The
Paris correspondent Of The Daily News
says:
France Preparing for War.
''In Toulon and Brest every nerve is
strained to get ready for war, which
may break out on short notice. The
Paris press is growing more and more
determined to back up extreme meas
ures, even a resort to arms. The French
have been exceedingly piqued by the
threatening tone of the English papers,
which is a more likely casus belli than
tie mere question Of the Fashoda."
The Paris correspondent of The Stand
ard says: IF England keeps on saying
that Marchand must go, France will re-
ply that Marchand will stay, and if he
be removed torcibly there can be little
doubt as to what the consequences
will he

1T is impossible" he continued, "for
France to maintain that she has political
rights at Fashoda. She has naturally

Major Marchand's report, but until the

Surely we ought to be able to respect

II hope, trust and pray that tho mat

try has set her foot down. If, unhappily,
another view should be taken by France,
the queens ministers know what their
duty demands. It would be very
great calamity, il after peace for
