Chicago. Aug. 1.-The telegraphers' strike today had all the appearances of a waiting game on both sides. The companies claim to be in better shape than on any preceding day and they certainly were handling more business at their main offices in this city.
 The officials of the union asserted, as they have since the commencement of the strike. that the telegraph com panies are hopelessly crippled. The peacemakers were making nc progress in any direction
 The general strike order issued yes terday by the union had apparently no effect in this city either yesterday or today. The Western Union today claimed that the only effect 1t had ex- erted on the strike was to call our seven men in twenty different States from which they had complete returns. The number may be slightly increased when every office in the United states is heard from. but both the Postal and western Union declare that the order has not had the slightest effect in inc terfering with their work.

TROTTING NOTES.

Gaiety. 2;09S4. seems stronger and bet
ter this spring than she has been since
her introduction 10 Washington. The knee
that she injured more than a year ago
has healed perfectly, and the speedy
daughter OF Ashland Wilkes is expected
TO gain greater fame on the race track
this year than she ever has before.
Cumberland. Md, is already laying plans
for her race meeting. Last fall Cumber-
land ran into four days of about as dis
agreeable weather as could well be imag-
med. Nevertheless. a big crowd was in
attendance every day. The association
kept every promise it made. and of the
dozen Washington horsemen who entered
there at that time not one VIII fan to
return this year other local stables will
go with them. B. F. McCauley, who
started the horses there last fail. will act
in the same capacity this year. The
purses al Cumberland this year win be
much more liberal than they were at the
previous meeting.
The other day representative of The
Washington Herald had the pleasure OF

bly, no colt ever owned by resident of
the District of Columbia has had such
fashionable ancestry as this miss.
Beausant, her sire was sold for $4,000,
while her dan.. The Nightingale. a prod
uet OF the famous HaWlln Village Farm.
was sold for $4,000 The daughter Of
Beausant and The Nightingale is on Mr..
Copperthte.s farm ut Burks, Va, and is
being carefully nursed.
