absence of one or two large salt wa

was noticed in the dark and after
long search the puzzled guards re-
turned to their posts with the expl0-

arrived, however, they discovered bro

floor and among the exhibits Some
one then noticed the absence OF one

greatly mystihed in view of the fact
that the BEETLE contained a huge cork
with a flagstaff extending through it
into the body of the bottle, so it was
not entirely alright.

The Toxic report that the Novik
eoaled az Using chou before going out
does not receive credence here as the
Russian vessels undoubtedly filled their
bunkers before leaving Port Arthur the
previous day.
Captain Masouzvitchs silence regarding
the battle is ascribed TO the possible re-
tusal Of the German authorities 20 per-
nit him to telegraph any information
ether than a mere record OF his own
casualties. The transmission Of the re-

J. s Bransford. chairman OF the racing
committee for the state fair, announced
last evening the schedule Of the trOtting,

held at the Agricultural park during
the three days of the fair.
For over a week the committee has been
meeting daily IN order to make ID a pro-
gramme that would surpass anything IN
the WAY OF races that has ever taken
place in Salt Lake They believe that the
purses offered viii bring 10 the city some
OF the fastest horses in tbs country, and
after considerable debate last evening
they finally adopted the following card.

be called the same as last year, with the
same conditions and the same purses IN
these rsceS. however no entrance or
starting fee viii be asked. This plan was
adopted by the committee in order to
encourage running races IN Utah. which
for some time, have received but little
attention among the horsemen of the
state. 1t is hoped by this method to
bring cut some good native running
horses and create an interest in the sport.
