OF a communication sent by the Boil

the Russian Ambassador at Berlin. 1t
says:
"The advance of the Turkish army
on the Caucasus front was accompanied
by the mass murder of the Armenian
population, which was killed by the
thousands, including women and chill

"The treaty we were forced to sign
at Brest-Litovsk afforded the popula-

for some ten years by Turkey, still

Russia was successful on the Turk

Arabian. Kars and Batoum because
the Turks had Germany for their ally.
The responsibility for the cruelties
against the Armenian populations and
for the victims in the regions now oc-

also on the German government. which
enabled Turkey to take possession of

READVILLE REVIEW.
By W H. Gocher.


 What promised to be one of the best meetings ever held at Readville was marred by rain and heavy track which kept the horses idle for two days and cut the weeks entertain ment from twenty to sixteen events, in which the amateurs and half -milers had more opportunities than the Grand Circuit stables. Of the six teen races contested there were three for amateurs, H. S. Crossman of Mon roe, N. Y. winning two with Mary McGowan and Leonard C., while the horses from the two lap courses ap- peared in four, Silver King, Forest B., Patrick Duluth and the ProdigaI geld ing Tom Donahe being returned as the winners in very creditable time. In fact a number of the starters in these events showed well enough to war rant their owners in entering them for a trip don the line to Atlanta in- stead of putting in the next six weeks at the New England fairs.
 The Grand Circuit caravan appeared l in seven races at Readville as vel as in the two divisions of the Ameri- can Horse Breeder Futurity. In the trotting division of theis' event Nella Dillon put up a splendid battle witt | Chestnut Peter won heat in 2:05A l clicked off one in 2:09% with Peter Vonia- Miriam Guy finished second in the first heat in 2:O7A and wa: third to Chestnut Peter ln the hea which he placed to his, credit. Th' same afternoon Serrell also won tn, free for all trot with Miss Berth; Dillon from St. Frisco and Mabe Trask and reduced the four -year-olt record to 2:02h. It was a banne day for the Dillon Axworthy famil, while it might also be added that hi owner A. B. Coxe also bred the frs three money winners in the Futurity
