Novel Horse Races.

The farmers hitch is a novel event
and always attracts much attention.
Each entrant must harness, hitch his
team to a lumber wagon and drive
around the track once. Should two
or more teams get away about the
same time, there will be a lively race,
as the horses are put to their greatest
speed. and the farmers are not afraid
to let EN- go when hitched 10 this
kind Of vehicle.
A gentlemen road race has been
added TO the regular ring events for
Friday. There are a number of good
driving horses in this section which
can clip a three-minute gait and there
is a great deal of rivalry between
owners of these steeds. A fine purse
has been hung up for this race. 4
running race has also been added
While there are not many horses train
ed for track running at the present
time in this section. there are a
number of farm animals which haze
speed, and several entries should be
made in this race.
The stock parade will be a feature
of the fair again this year, bat it has
not been definitely decided which fore
noon will be devoted to this event.
Ball games will be played both We'd
nesday and Thursday forenoons.

Plan Of the association is TO provide
sufficient amusement so that from 10
o'clock to there viii be something
doing all the time. Heretofore the
have been rather dull. but
this is not to be the case this year.
A tri-city. booster day is being ar
ranged and it is hoped that the mer-
chants and others of Moline, East Mo
line and Rock Island will help to make
he day a success. It is planned to
have as many as possible from these
cities make the trip to Joslin by auto
mobile and form a parade which will
move on the race course.

Berlin S Apology in Nebraskan
Case Same AS That Made
to Small Countries.
ATTACK WAS A MISTAKE
Germany Says Nothing Distinguished
Vessel from Enemy's
Craft.

Desiring that the United States
should view the torpedoing or the
American steamship Nebraskan as an
unfortunate accident" the German
government has expressed its regret
for the act of its submarine COM
mander and declared its readiness 10
nav for the damages suffered.
memorandum to this erect was
received at the State Department yes
terday from Ambassador Gerard, at
Berlin, to whom II was handed by the
Berlin foreign Office
All Doubt Removed.
The German government excuses the
act of the submarine commander on
the theory that in the absence OF any
markings on the Nebraskan to indi-
cate the country, the commander was
justified in assuming that II must
have been an enemy ship and in at
lacking accordingly.
While this theory and this assumption
are considered most repugnant TO tine
principles for which the United States Is
cortending in the submarine issue. 1t is
not doubted that the German oher OF
compensation will he accepted.
The matter will he discussed informally
today nv Secretary Lansing and Count
Won Bernstorfr, the German Ambassador.
On receiving the German memorandum.
Mr.. Lansing telephoned the Ambassador
that it had come and invited him to call
today OF course, ct the same time. the
two will undoubtedly discuss also the gen
eral submarine issue and the note re-
ceIvad from German on the subject this
week. a reply to which is about to he
framed.
officials are wondering whether ehorts
to collect the compensation promised
will lead to the same entanslements as
in the FRYE case. In that case Germany
admitted liability and promised to pay.
but the two governments are now nope
Iesslv at odds because of Germany's IN
sistence that the case be referred to
prize court.
That IL is Germanys intention TO ex-
cuse as a mistake such attacks on Amerl-
can vessels as may occur in the future
is the conclusion drawn from the memo
randum received yesterday. II has been
noted that the Scandinavian govern
ments have had their protests answered
by the statement that their vessels we're
sunk by mistake and would be paid for.
The Nebraskan case was -egarded as
particularly fragrant. as the vessel was
west bound in ballast. and the attack
took place at twilight.

Fan day means this: One hundred and

The Austro- Hungarian note was re-
ceived early in July, hut was made
public in Vienna Wednesday for the
first time. Its publication there fol-
lowed an inquiry Of the United States
government as to whether 1t had any
objections to its being given out. Sec
rotary Lansing replied that there were
no objections SO far as this govern
ment was concerned.
1t has not yet been determined here
whether there will be any reply 10 the
note. Decision on this point awaits the
return Of President Wilson from Cornish.
1t is certain, however, that if a reply is
made it will adhere closely to the decla-

similar protest from him and in the
Bryan letter to Senator Stone discuss
ing American neutrality.
