COLUMBUS DRIVING PARK
A Thunderstorm Interferes With
the Days Races.
SURPRISE TO THE TALENT
Tommy Britton Won in Three Straight
Heats Without an Effort-Ello-
rec, the Favorite, Was Not a
Factor in the Race.

Columbus, Ohio, Aug. 4.-Rain again
interfered with the races at the Column
bus Driving park to-day. After the
2:lo trot had been finished and four
heats trotted in the 2:14 class thun-
derstorm came up and before the rain
had ceased the track was soaked. 1t
was hoped, however that the races
might be resumed, and the crowd was
held very late, when it became evil
dent that the horses could not start and
the races were postponed to tomorrow.
There were four events on the card to-
day, including the 2:10 trot postponed
from Thursday. This was the first
started and 1T proved a surprise to the
talent, Tommy Britton winning in
straight heats without being urged.
Elloree was favorite in the betting on
the strength of her showing at Cleve-
land, but she was not factor in the
race. Cresceus, although not fast
enough to push Tommy Britton, beat
Elloree out easily for second money.
Four heats We're trotted in the 2:14
class. There were 10 starters in the
race, but the contest lay between Sur
pol Success and Charlie Hurr. Surpol
was the favorite, but Success sold al
most equally well in the pools, and
Charley Hurr had many hackers. Sur
pol trotted in the first heat without a
break and won easily by two lengths.
The gray mare acted badly in every
heat after that. In the second heat
Surpol went off her feet after passing
the three-q quarters and was beaten out
by both Charley Hurr and Success. In
the third heat the mare broke at the
half and fell back so far that she could
not close up the gap with the leaders
and was beaten out by the same horses
in reverse order, Success taking the
heat. In the fourth heat Surpol gave
way to Hutchns, but the change did
not prove a fortunate one. Coming
down the homestretch Surpol and Sue
cess were neck and neck, when the for
mer broke and Hutchins allowed the
mare to run. She found her gait before
the wire was reached, however, and
won out by half length, but was set
back to second place. the heat being
given to Success.
This race and the 2:21 pace and the
2:20 trot We're postponed to tomorrow.

ARE SOLO FOR MUTTON
Thousands of Goats Are Slaugh.
tered in Chicago.
ANGORAS THE FAVORITES
Palatable and Free From Disease-The
Deception Most Extensively Car
ried On During the Spring
g. and Winter.

Chicago, Aug. 4--The Daily News
says: Thousands of goats are bought
slaughtered and placed on the markets
of Chicago and sold as mutton by some
packers at the stock yards. This traffic
Is carried on most extensively during
the winter and early spring up to and
including the month of April
The goats and kids are principally
of the Argora kind, and come from the
Northwest, while few are shipped in
from the South. The latter are of the
common goat species and do not find as
ready sale as the Angoras.
Besides being very palatable as a
food the Angora goat and kids are
used flor other purposes The skins of
the goat are used for making floor
mats and robes for baby carriages,
while the skin of the kid is used for
trimming furs.
DIR. W. s Devoe of the bureau of
animal industry, when asked to-day
in regard to goats being sold as NUT
ton. said:
They certainly are quite free from
disease; are fat and make excellent
eating. Of course, the very common
billy goat would have a tendency to
be strong and have bad odor. Their
is no law to prevent them being sold,
and wnen we find them in the packing
houses they are inspected the same as
other carcasses."
The record at the yards show that
some weeks as high as 5000 goats have
been received.

Love at First Sight.


From the Youths Companion.
Believers in the possibility of love al
first sight may feel a sympathetic in
terest, and perhaps find a Darwinian
argument in a story of the first meet
ing of two apes in the Lonuon Zoo. We
retell the tale from Wild Animals in
Captivity"
Sarah was seated alone in her cage,
Wen new ape made his appearance
in front of the bars. Instantly both
animals uttered short cries, and bend
ing toward each either, protruded their
thin lips until they met across the bars
of the cage. Then, as the keeper threw
open the cage door, the apes rushed
into each others arms, and squatting
on the floor. Rugged each other with
comic affection. In a few seconds they
rose, and standing erect, raised their
arms above their heads, grasped each
others front paws and screamed and
howled in mutual appreciation.
Let us hope that they lived happy
ever after.

Old Alaskan Maps.

New York Aug. A special to the
Herald from Washington says: All

such as is referred to by Mr.. Zachart

Petersburg. If the boundary had peen

Evidently the Russian govern ne It
never had any doubt as to the locati n
of the boundary. But the British ~
eminent also held the same views.
British admiralty charts from the ear
liest to the latest accessible, that Of
1887, mark the boundary the same as n
these maps. The Lynn canal and port
land channel became important nigh
ways to the interior, and the British
Columbia chief commissioner of lan1
and works got out a map on which he
ran a line which he called the ''ulde-
termined boundary" This was drawn
so as to give Canada both Portland
channel and Lynn canal. She set up
this contention that the map make IS
had located Portland channel wrong,
and that the real Portland channel was
what is known as Benin canal. Inter
esting light is thrown on this claim to
Portland channel by a British Gd-
mralty chart of 1S6S-the year afCei
the cession of Alaska. Comma lipr
Fender of the royal navy made an
elaborate survey of Portland chan lcl.
He not only called it that, but in
naming the mountains on each side Of
the channel he gave British names to
the mountains on the south side and
American names to those on the north
side

Duns Review,

New York, Aug. Ar. G. Dun &
Co., in their weekly review of trade,
will say:
July failures have been smaller than
in any month of which there is rec
ord, excepting May, and trading fail
ures smaller than in any other month.
Surprising contrasts are shown by com
parison of small with large failures N
different years, and in no class of bust
ness, without some large failures not
attributal to present influences, does
the aggregate equal the average of the
past six years. London again reCog
nizes the financial power of this coun-
try The Bank of England virtually
admits that it cannot draw from New
York the gold that it needs; exchange
moves to the importing point; over

not unlike that in industries, Europe
searching for wool here at so cents

A vast demand for both materials has
fallen upon the commercial world,

to meet for its own needs. Wool ship

1t is no longer question whether

Whaling at SnOok's Arm.

From the Youths Companion.
At Shocks Arm, on the east coast of
Newfoundland, is scientific whaling sta
ton. the only one in the Western hemis-
phere. Here, as well as at the great
whaling stations of Iceland and Norway,
specially constructed steamers are en-
ployed equipped with every appliance
that skill can devise.
A small harpoon is no longer hurled
fro m the hand of some trained Eskimo,
bus an immense iron bar, more than SIX
feet long with great wings or flanges a
few feet from one end-like the bars OF a
cross, except that they are folded back
close to the main shafts now fired from
a cannon on the ship. There is large
projectile at the end, filed sharp and
pointed so as to penetrate the whales
body. 1t is loaded with combustibles that
generate volumes of gas.
The New York Evening Post character
ICES the work done by the whaling ship
Cabot, at Shocks Arm, as mathematically
correct. The vessel steams within 100
yards of the whale
A man with steady nerves and quick
aim is at the cannon, and IN an instant
there Is a flash, and the great harpoon
is hurled through the air. with unerrlhg
aim it plunges into the whales side, the
wings on the cross-bar suddenly flying
Horizontal and the exploding projectiles
generating great volumes of gas that
keen the body afioat. Death Is very
speedy and almost without suffering if
the range is not too close.
When the cannon is fired at close quar-
ters and the whale happens to be young,
with tender, thin hide, the harpoon flies
right through the body, the rope holding
the wounded creature fast, and men are
dispatched in boats to spear the prisoner.
Since last July, when the Cabot began
whaling off Snooks Arm, more than -
whales have been shot, and not single
shot has been lost. although in one or
two cases II has been necessary to fire
second harpoon before a struggling mon
ster was killed. The whales are lowed
into the harbor and moored, to be dragged
by steam power and logging chains up the
slippery, slanting wharf.

President Harrison's Quiet Hint,

DR.. Edward Bedloe of Philadelphia
United States consul to Canton, was
sent by President Harrison as con-
sui to Annoy, China, in 1889. During
his term of office he came home on a
visit, and, while spending a month or
two in Washington was largely in evil
dence in social and political circles.
About this time the Gridiron club gave
a dinner and both gentlemen were
guests. The doctor told a few stories
early in the evening, and later on the
president made a speech Il was
charmed" he said, ito hear the clever
anecdotes from our distinguished con-
sui to- mean from Annoy" Then he
passed on to another topic, but the doc
tor took the hint. and the next steamer
carried him back to his post.
