Ideal weather, a lightning fast
track and classy fields afforded lovers
of harness racing some splendid
sport at the Delaware State Fair yes
terday afternoon. In fact, the days
card brought out some Of the fastest
stepping animals seen at the park in
many a day and the big crowd thor
oughly enjoyed every heat.
Colonel York. c. N. Payn's two
year-old grabbed the long end of the
trotting event, showing the way home
to a select field IN two heats and taxi
ing second position in the third. Col
orado. owned by E. Coke uncorked a
lot of speed in the second heat after
running third in the initial 90 round.
This horse was the contender after
the first heat but did not have enough
speed Colonel York clipped half a
second of his record for the first
heat when he romped home IN the
final dash in 2.S1.
Comet L., owned by James Areans,
won the 23O pace. For the first two
heats the winner "lay to" taking sec
ond position to Uneeda Patchen, the
G. 7. Finney entry. In the last three
dashes Comet L.. was in first place
when he bowed to the judges. Comet
L. put up some snappy racing in
the third. fourth and fifth heats and

CLIENT, October 3,
The German left wing succeeded this
afternoon in forcing a passage of the
River Scheldt at Schoonaerde. 1t IS
now moving slowly northward toward
Loekern and ST. Nicolas. The Belgians
are fighting n severe rear guard action.
The object OF the German advance Is
TO get astride OF the main road from
Client to Antwerp. which is also the
main road from the coast and the
railway which follows the same general
line. Thus they strike at the main
communications OF Antwerp
The crossing OF the Nethe was effected

into action against Fort Puers and the
positions at Boom and Wiliebrock, The

LONDON, Oct. S.-Diplomats usually
well posted have made wagers that the
war will end within six months. A
secretary Of legation of one of the
Powers at war, most prudent specu-
lator. has wagered heavily that peace
will come within three months. Grow

STA are evidently back OF this view.
The diplomats are Informed that
Russia means to march on Vienna and
expects feeble resistance from the Hun
garians, many leaders OF whom are al
ready seeking to come to an under
standing with the Car. With Vienna
captured, Russia expects to make Aus
tria accept peace, particularly in view
of the reported Austrian resentment
over failure of the Germans TO support
them adequately in Galicla. Austria will
be made to understand that only by
deserving Germany can the empire Of
the Hapsburgs be preserved even in
part.
The American Embassy seems 10 re-
fleet the general feeling OF optimism,
but none there will discuss the matter.

PARIS. October 3.
The Government report tonight. is
sued at l1:45 o'clock, indicates that tho
Germans once moro attempted to break
the hinge of the allied line, but without
success, and that elsewhere the battles
are without definite issue The text of
the communique was:
The situation generally is station
airy. The same positions are held
throughout despite few violent
engagements. notably around Roye.
The nature of Gen. Joffre's operations
toward Belgium was indicated by the
report of the afternoon. which specified
a German withdrawal near Arras and
cavalry hghting near the Belgian
frontier. Allied successes at Roye.
along the Mouse and in the Woevre
district were reported. The COM
munlque was given out at p. NJ. and
was as follows:
on our left in the northern
region. the enemy is making no
progress. At certain points the
enemy is retiring, especially north
Of Arras. where the action Is pro-

SorTu OF THE AIsNE. october I.
At one centre the most important
British victory on the Aisne Is now com
plete. The Germans have evacuated
their trenches. leaving in them many
men who had died as result of Sc
we're visitation Of entcric fever. Two
heavy guns remain in the quarrics
tightly cemented in,
now am able TO give some essential
details of the prolonged and in some
ways battling struggle.
fortnight ago the Germans oc-
cupied the French fort OF Condo, north
strategic position, of which excellent
use was made. 1t looked likely to be as
difficult to overcome and to cause as
serious delay as the half finished
abandoned for trenches, which were
hastily dismantled by the French on the
outbreak of the war.
The trouble was that the trajectory Of
our guns was too fiat for siege purposes.
After vain attempts extending over ten
days and more howitzers were brought
into play The guns were placed with
such skill as to position that the Ger
man gunners in their turn found the
trajectory too fiat. They could explode
shells only Mt a harmless distance above
our gunners. At the same time the
British heavy guns were enabled to
throw heavy shells at a high angle,
Within four hours after the guns had
been placed In position Fort Condo,
which had been beseged for sixteen
days. became untenable.
