LORD REvELsTROKE TOLD.
Dave McClary Gets 5000 for Him
 From an Austrian Count,

From an Austrian Count,
 Hartford, Dec 1.-Lord Revelstroke, Dave McClary's famous horse, has been sold and is now on the way to Austria. The big brown horse was shipped from this city Saturday and is now on the ocean. An Austrian count, who was here at the time of the Charter Oak races, fell in love with him and gave McClary $9.oO0 to part with the animal. This is undoubtedly good price, since Lord Revelstroke has the reputation of being a trife fussy about going. ''When he's good he's very, very good, and when he's bad he's horrid"
 Revelstroke won the race for Swear olds at Boston this summer in 2:12%. the record for the age. He has a world of speed. but has not won as many races as he should, because he has been LID against two hard propos1- tions on the circuit, Grace Bond and Alta Axworthy, exceptionally speedy horses.
 McCIary bought Revelstroke when yearIing from the late J. Malcolm Forbes for $2,000, a good price for good blood. Since then he has been trained at Charter Oak. The count who has bought the horse, and his trainer, George Bodiner of Vienna, trst saw Revelstroke in Kentucky and asked about a possible purchase. Bodimer came to this city last week and closed the deal and took the horse away with him.
 The sale of Reyelstroke takes out Of the city it's most valuable animal. It is also another feather in McClary's cap. This year he has sold Morning Star for 5000 in May, Rey Del Val for $S,5OO in July, and now Reyel- stroke for 5000, $26 300 altogether. He paid $7,0oO for the horses, all as yearlinpS

NEARING TIE END.
Fierce Attack on Key to Port
 Arthur Successful.
METER HILL CAPTURED LAST NIGHT
Japanese Emperor I'm Opening Sec. Ond War Diet Said, ssOur Forces Have Been Victorious I'm
 Every Battle"


 LONDON, Dec. LA special from Japanese imperial headquarters has made the following announcement:
 Our force operating against Port Arthur advanced from trenches already taken near the summit, have captured Two Hundred and Three Meter hill and now hold it.''
 The capture of this position marks a great advance in the reduction of Port Arthur The Japanese are able to con. centrate an accurate fire upon vital spots of the city's defenses owing to the assistance given by the occupants of military balloons.
 From these balloons directions are telephoned, and in this way the Japa. nese have been able to set fire to in- portant points in the city.
 Advices from Tokyo say that the Japanese have captured and now hold the whole position on Two Hun- dred and Three Meter hill. This be- sides giving the Japanese command of the harbor of Port Arthur will serve to widen the breach made by the wedge. the Japanese have driven be- tween the Etse mountain group of forts and the Russians last retreat to Liaoi mountain. The capture of Two Hun dred and Three Meter hill will ef- fectually cut off the Russians retreat.
 The emperor at Tokyo has opened the second war diet He rode through the streets in a state coach, escorted by troop of lancers and accompanied by the crown prince, his staff and some members of the imperial house hold. to the house of parliament, where both houses were assembled in the chamber of representatives The dip lomatic corps and many prominent government officials were present.
 The emperor ascended the dais, from which he read the following address:
 we hereby perform the ceremony of opening the imperial diet and announce to the members of the house of peers and house of representatives that, to our profound delight, our relations with all the neutral powers are con tinually growing more amicable.
 we have directed our ministers of state to submit to you a scheme for meeting the extraordinary expenditures necessitated by the war, together with the budget for the thirty eighth year of Meiji, besides other projects of law. Our expeditionary forces have been victorious in every battle and have repeatedly shown fresh proofs of their loyalty and bravery, so that the prog ress of the war has been so constantly to our advantage that we expect by the loyal devotion of our subjects to attain our ultimate object, and we call upon you to discharge your duties by harmonious cooperation, thereby pro- noting our wishes and ends"
 E OfnciaI and private dispatches receiv- ed from St. Petersburg indicate that the Japanese are falling back below Sintsintin, where for several days they had apparently been attempting turn ing movement. After four days of tolerably severe but unsuccessful fight ing they are now retiring, with the Russians in pursuit.
 A Shanghai report says that Rus sian torpe1os boat destroyer returning to vIadivostok from scouting expedi- tion has been sunk by the guns of the Russian forts in error.
