Glasg0a0 b Holding An Mtermahona/ ExpoSition It Is Attracting Considerable Attention from European
 Nations.

visitors attention. The United States is not represented by a special gov ernment building, but American eN- hibitors occupy large section of the main exposition buildings, and espe- cially of machinery hall. In this build ing the exhibitors from this country outrank those of any other nation ex- cepting Great Britain, both in num- bers and variety of exhibits.
 Russia has taken more prominent part in the exposition than any other of the foreign governments repre- sented, and, next to Great Britain, is the largest exhibitor, all sections be- ing considered. For the purpose of the exposition, grant of $15O,OO0 was made by the Russian government, and the individual exhibitors from Russia have expended probably as much more. The Glasgow exposition has the distinction of being the first held in the United Kingdom which ever at tracted sufficient attention from Rus sia, to cause that country to erect special government buildings. The Russian buildings cover more than two acres of ground, and are divided into four principal pavilions, which are devoted to agriculture, minerals, forestry and the products of the inn perial estates. The four pavilions are designed in the old Russian style, and were erected by Russian workmen sent for the purpose from St. Peters, burg. In addition to these four main pavilions, Russia has erected suitable buildings for display of collections of grain from all the producing sec tions of the vast empire, another for the use of the Millers' association of Russia, and a grand reception hall for the entertainment of distinguished Russian visitors, of whom number are expected during the summer. The country has also 11,00O square feet of space in the main exposition buildings, in which are shown various Russian industrial products. These things, in connection with Russian restaurant,

questioned recently, "and I expect that he will show as great form as he did last season. l drove him in the first race he ever started in and he did nothing in the first heat but finish away back in the field in the stake. It looked to me as if he was game enough to stand a hard drive, and I sent him out to do his best in the second heat. This he won in 2:11h and, unable to get around that mark again, he finished back in the ruck and fourth money was his DOT tion for his. endeavors. He started in -sfi1fe ottFher races that season, in six of which he trfumphed. He was un- placed twice and distanced in the re- mainder of the events. When he re- tired that year his mark was 2:11As.'
 Strictly speaking The Abbot is not 8 horse but gelding, and that fact gave him the record in 1898 as five year-old gelding with mark of 2:O8. This was a good year for the bay, he having won six races out of ten. It was in 1899 that The Abbot compelled the attention of the harness world by starting ten times, winning every time, and showing a record of 29 heats

forgot the mark, but one-half second slower, set by Alix at Galesburg sev- eral years ago, and talked of the Alp bot. One peculiarity of The Abbot's champion performance is that his third quarter was the fastest, while the last quarter was done in slightly better time than his first. When Alix made her worlds record she stepped the first quarter in 3oA, whereas The Abbot consumed 31A seconds in traversing the two furlongs. Alix did the second quarter in 31A to The Ab- bots 301a, and while Alix's third quar- ter was 31 flat, the new champions time was 29A. Alix took 31 for the last quarter, while The Abbot used a half second more.
 That wonderful veteran, c. J. Ham lin, of the Village farm, who bred The Abbot, who is son of Chimes, that famous marvel of speed that was once the apple of the eye of the sage of the Village farm, says that like his sire, The Abbot might have de- veloped much speed had he been raced when younger. No follower of the turf doubts that MT. Hamlin let up on Chimes every time he thought he was demanding too much of the son of Electioneer. MT. Hamlin's great animal did not begin his turf career until 1897, when he was four years

When Thomas w. Lawson, the Bos- ton millionaire owner of Boralma (2:06), got to talking about $5o,oOO match races and hastened to get out certified checks for thousands of dol lars to bind a match with The Abbot, it looked as if the greatest harness event in the history of the turf was about to be assured. Then when these negotiations fell through and the grand circuit September meet at Hartford seemed likely to have a $20,O00 added race with Boralma, Cresceus (2:o4s4), Charley Herr l2:o7) and The Abbot con tend itfs tl SIC, ,000 a side, it looked more like race than ever. However anxious MT. Scannell, the new owner of The Alp bot, may be to race this wonder, it may be late in September before The Abbot is given a real hard test in a race. If a contract is binding, The Abbot and Cresceus are matched to race this fall.
 The Abbot is much in the public eye. Last year at Terre Haute this speed wonder made a mile in 2:O3A, and thousands of people who had become admirers of that pretty mare Alix,

prove one of the attractions of Glas- gov in the future.
 The site of the exposition is in Ke1 vingrove park, at the west end of the city, and adjoining the grounds of the Glasgow university, which will cele- brate it's four hundred and fiftieth an niversary during the progress of the exposition. The area of the exposi- tion site covers 73 acres, and through it flows the Kelvin river, which adds much to it's picturesqueness and util- ity, as upon it is being given an ex- hibit of shipbuilding and life-saving that would be impossible without the river or other body of water, and which forms an important part of the exposition. The exposition buildings cover an area of 20 acres, and are di- vided into three main groups exclusive of the fine arts galleries. The main group, designated the industrial sec tion, is 700 feet long and 33O feet wide, and from the center of almost six acres of ground which it covers there rises a massive dome that forms magnificent centerpiece of the entire fair. The feature of this great build ing is the main avenue which runs
 
 and which is 60 feet wide and 70 feet high, covered by an arched steel roof. The great dome rising from the cen ter of this magnificent building is 200 feet in height, so feet in diameter, and around it rise four massive white tow CTS, each 16O feet from the ground. Running entirely around this dome and 100 feet from the ground is balcony 25 feet wide and 400 feet in cir conference. From this the best pos sible view of the entire exposition and the surrounding country is obtained.
 The other two groups of buildings are the machinery hall and the grand hall for entertainments, both of which are magnificent but not constructed on so grand scale as that devoted to the industrial section. There are a large number of smaller buildings, among which are those erected by different foreign governments, that have ex- pended considerable sums in making a display of their resources and indus tries. Among these buildings erected by foreign governments, those of France, Russia, Japan, Canada, Persia | and Morocco are most worthy of the l

Interesting Gossip for the esHarness Horse'' Followers

old. The Merchants and Manufactur- ers' stake at Detroit was the one in which he made his equine bow to the public that some time afterward paid homage to him as a champion.
 Horsemen would not call this bay with white on his left hind foot Handsome horse," yet they would say that he had all of the distinguishing characteristics of wonderful speed maintaining animal. The protruding chest and apparent wealth of breath ing space, the wide-faring nostrils and powerful hindquarters, all indi- cate the stamina the animal possesses to maintain those bursts of speed. The Abbot came by his speed honestly, as the followers of the sprinters on the running turf would say. He gets it by inheritance, for Chimes, his sire, was bred at Palo Alto farm, in Cali fornia, by the late Senator Leland Stanford with a view of producing 8 reliable speed animal.
 "Yes, I think I will drive The Alp bot this season." said Ed Geers when

TT matters little to followers of the
 harness horse world whether the
 champion trotter, The Abbot (2:03A), races this season or merely shows" at the big tracks of the country. The animal that displaced Sweet Little Mare Alix' as champion by half a second holds such a high place in the hearts of horse lovers that they would feel very bad were The Abbot to meet Boralma, Cresceus or Charley Herr and be defeated. Silent Ed'' Geers, the driver, who knows more about trotters than al- most any other turfman, recently was reported as saying that he would reach the coveted "two-minute" mark with The Abbot, but he speedily 'called down" the interviewer who put the words in his mouth. Geers will rate an animal along without looking at a timer as accurately as machinist could guide the cutting op- erations of lathe, but he is not pre- pared to make predictions about two minute trotters.

n UFFALO is not the only interna-
 n tional exposition city of the world this year. Glasgow, Scot land, is holding fair that is attract ing much attention throughout Eng land and the entire world.
 The Glasgow exposition was com pleted and opened with elaborate cere- monies the 1st of May, and will con tinue until the first of November. It is intended mainly as an exposition of the mechanical and industrial devel- opment of the age, and in this it serves its purpose we'll. But the exhibits are not entirely along this line. They take in all fields that are usually found in the big international fairs, including manufactures, natural products, 1n- dustries and the material resources of all the exhibiting nations. Some thing of it's scope may be determined from the scheme of division of the ex- hibits as announced by the exposition managers. They comprise the follow ing classes:
 CD Raw material, both agricultural and mineral; (2) Industrial design and manufacture; (3) Machinery of all sorts in motion, electricity and la bor-saving devices; (4 Locomotion and transport; (5) Marine engineering and shipbuilding; (6) Lighting and heating; @ Science and scientific in- struments, education and music; (S) Sports and sporting appliances; (9) Women's industries; 10) Fine arts, Scottish history and archaeology.
 The Glasgow exposition represents an expenditure of two and half mill lion dollars, aside from the expense incurred by the exhibitors. This fund . was provided by the citizens of the old Scottish city. In addition to this ex- penditure, large sum was provided by the citizens and the municipal gov ernment for the erection of perma- nent fine art galleries, which form part of the exposition. These fine art galleries rival in beauty those of most of the great cities of Europe, and will

Russian band, Russian choir, etc., give to the exposition a remarkable dis play from the czar's country.
 Among the other countries repre-. sented, Canada makes fine display of her agricultural resources. From every one of the Canadian provinces is shown some distinguishing feature, but western Canada contributes the best of the agricultural display, by which it is hoped to attract large number of immigrants. British Co., lumbia leads in the exhibit of Cana dian minerals, and the Kootenay gold and coal fields are given special at tention.
 Japan shows a magnificent display of the products of that far eastern country, and her buildings are of the picturesque Japanese architecture.
 The main exposition buildings are constructed in the Spanish renais- sance style of architecture, but have many striking oriental features, which add a brightness of color which is added to by the variety afforded by the construction of the various for eign government buildings, all follow ing the peculiar style of architecture common to the country which they represent.
 Wood and steel are both utilized in the construction of the main buildings It was the original intention to con- struct them almost entirely of steel, but the rise in the price of that ma- terial necessitated change to timber for considerable portions, which was done without detriment to the gen. eral effect in any way.

trotted, the fastest being 2:06H and the slowest 2:10A.
 Small wonder than after this season which, it is said by old timers, stands without parallel, the harness horse followers began to wonder what MT. Hamlin would do with the gelding in 1900 unless he resorted to the plan of starting this animal against the watch. In July the faithful animal was sent against time at Detroit, but failed to lower his own record. The following month he made the reading 2:O5A. Then, as the followers of the performances of this great unsexed horse will recall, came his 2:O4 at the Empire City track near New York. This was followed by his Terre Haute exhibition, when he made his grand record. JOE HOOKER.
