Great Britain S Plan.

1T was on Great Britain 3 initia lion that
the six powers urged the peace confer
rnce 10 report an agreement Now C;rea,
Britain Is cndeavoring 10 persuade tho
rebels to come 10 ter,us. 1t lie pointed
out that British interference is not df-
rccted against Chine's interests. but
against the sentimental idea IN sucn cases
where the practical interests OF the en-
tire nation are jeopardized.
The extension of The srmistlce for ten
DAYS In which the rcvolutionisis have
agreed. has given some hope but unless
the revolutionisis accept Yuan's offer the
only alternative is continuation OF the
conflict with possible division of the coun

TERE are records established in the
most remarkable economy contest ever
~ held-109 Brush cars in lO9 cities on
the same day ran 100 miles in competition,
with official observers to determine the cost at
which an automobile could be operated. Under
various road conditions they averaged cost
of 65 e/,o cents for 100 miles, while the winner
made the phenomenal record OF ~ cents Tor
the distance. 1t was Brush car driven by
Y. R. Del Vale of Los Angeles, California,
and carried a passenger besides the driver

oil This IS an average of 48.4 miles per gal
Ion of gasolene and 800 miles per gallon OF OIL.
Il had no tire or mechanical trouble. AT the
predetermined cost standards for the contest
is cents per gallon of gasolene and 81 cents
per gallon of oil-it cost less than rs or cent
per mile per passenger-an astonlshlngy low
figure.
THE second car cost 48 cents-using 2S/i6
l. gallons of gasolene, one quart more than
the winner, and the same amount OF oil. IL mao
no tire trouble. The third car cost 81 cents
making the best oil consumption record-loo
miles on gill, an average OF 32oO miles per
gallon--a performance equaled, however, by
another Brush contestant.
The average cost of 65s/lo cents for the
100 competing Brush cars represented the
consumption Of less than four gallons of gaso-
lene and 1s pints of oil. The average mile
age Of 25s/,o miles per gallon of gasolene and
600 miles per gallon of oil has never been
approached by any car made
90 cars made the 100 miles for cost OF
20 less than one dollar. Note the won

In explaining the progress of the

rious obstacle was now the link be-

line. The Canadian provincial govern
ment will continue the road to
Montreal. and the cities of Montreal
and Quebec are raising funds to ex-
tend to Quebec.

vided 100000 for the link from wash
ington to Baltimore. and much has
been done in the States south of VIr-

Manassas. Va. July 26.-The Manas-
sas Horse Show opened to-day under
ideal weather conditions and with the
largest attendance that the show has
ever had on the first day of Its exhibit
tons. a good shower on Monday at
ternoon put the show grounds In ex-
cellent condition. allaying the dust TO
large extent, and the weather to-
day being cool made II possible TO try
out the endurance OF the horses eXhib-
tied in the numerous driving classes
without heating them to any consider
able extent.
Although the entries in many of the
classes. both harness and hunters. were
numerous. owing TO the splendid man
agement of the paddocks and show
ring the classes were ell judged on
time and the awards promptly made.
The judging in the main met with ia
vor. both by those witnessing the per-
formences and by the exhibitors, though
In some instances the latter showed
their displeasure In the awards made.
An instance of this occurred in one OF
the hunter classes. when Mrs Allen
Potts. of Gordonsville. refused to ac-
cept the white ribbon awarded her
entry. Mrs. Potts. Miss Amy Dupont.
OF W!lmingto ton. Del, and Lee Hechin-
ger, of Washington. D. c.. and Hale
Brothers, of Nokesville, Va. exhibited
some of the finest specimens OF horse
flesh ever seen at q Virginia horse
show. Miss Duponts entries carried
off the largest number of prizes in the
harness classes. while Mrs. Potts was
very successful in the hunter events.
During the recess hour Troops C and
D. OF the Fort AIyer Cavalry. gave an
exhibition drill in the show ring. This
is a new feature OF the show. and 1t is
owing partly to this performance tina,
q larger crowd than usual was In at
tendance. Colonel p. c. O'Bannon. of
Sperryville; Mr.. Taylor, editor OF Ihe
Rider and Driver. of New York, and
Mr.. Clausen, of New York. judged the
events.
In the steeplechase. Ben Lala. owned
by George c. Brenton. OF Manassas,
was an easy winner. He took the lead
in the getaway and maintained it
throughout the entire course. At the
last jump Ben Lala struck the hurdle
with his forefeet. His rider was near
ly unseated, which caused him to pull
his mount UP almost to dead stop.
Port Lock gained or him rapidly. and
