*
Sheepsiiead Bay, August 30.—■ U
nquestionably the greatest of trie four
teen futurity races that have been
run was the one pulled oft here today
when thirty of the fleetest footed
horses of the classic class in the
country, started from the post and
virtually made anew record In their
eagerness to capture the handsome
sixty thousand dollar stake, the tro
phy of this great speedaway.
The scenes at the race track are
best described in one word—madness.
Fifty thousand excited, nervous,
screeching people, ntad with anticipa
tion at the start, and later drunk
with the enthusiasm, watched the
hunch of blooded youngsters leave
the post and dash under toe wires,
ivime to defeat and sorrow and others
to victory and the fullest measure of
happiness.
More than one million good Ameri
can dollars were wagered on the re
sult, two hundred and fifty thousand
dollars worth of horse flesh, battled
for supremacy and more than one
hundred and fifty million dollars was
represented among the various own
ers of tue spirited animals that fair
ly danced under the wires to the
shouts of the fifty thousand’s specta
tors who were present.
Probably the result was more of a
surprise than any other similar race
in Ihe history of the futurity races and
certainly no one was prepared to see
flalvable, the handsome colt of John
A. Drake, and the only contestant
from the prance into the stretch,
ahead of the others anil win tne cove
ted prize. Lord of the Vale, owned
by August Belmont, was Second by a
length and Dazzling .1. K. & F. P.
Keenes magnificent colt was a close
third. Lyne was up on Salvable, uog
gett' on laird "of the tale ana b.iaw
on Dazznng and it is simple justice to
all of them to say they did fine work.
The winner was a twenty to one
shot, second place money went from
the hook makers at six to one, wnile
Dazzling was the only .avorite Wno
crossed the wire, his stock ueing on
ioe boards af four to one.
Toe race was a one and
the result while a surprise, has occas
ioned nothing but pleasant comment.

MAND EXPLANATION.
SOME TROUBLE IS EXPECTED

Columbia Will Demand Nicaargua
to Explain in Regard to Her
Illegal Participation
in the Trouble.
Washington, Aug. 30. —Colombia will
formally demand of Nicaragua an ex
planation in regard to the latter coun
try’s alleged participation of that gov
ernment in the Colombian revolution
and back up her demand with the
most formidable land and naval force
she can muster, as soon as the present
rebel activity on the isthmus has been
crushed.
Information to this effect was re
ceived from an authoritative source
In Washington today.
The above intelligence causes con
siderable surprise in diplomatic cir
cles:,for but a few weeks ago it was
announced that Mr. Concha, the Co
lombian minister, and Mr. Corea, the
Nicaraguan minister, had establish
ed dm entente cordials between their
reapcctfve governments; that bygones
"ere to he legarded as bygones, ami
thjil the time was ripe for an under
standing. It is now learned that the
initial movement toward Ihe establish
ment of an amicable understanding
between Nicaragua and Colombia was
made by Mr. Corea who also proposed
to Mr. Concha an adjustment of the
difficulties which have so long been
pending over Colombia’s claim to the
I ow nership of a strip of what is claim
ed by Nicaragua to he part of her
(■OT&t line* Minister Concha deelitu
crl to accede to the latter proposition,
declaring that a claim which Colom-'
b.a had brought forward for so many
years could not he adjusted, or in fact,
brought. to any material de
gree toward adjustment by the meth
ods suggested by the Naearaguan min
ister. However, Mr. Concha was en
tirely willing to join Mr. Corea in the
establishment of an entente cordiale.
Shortly after Minister Corea’s ar
rival in Nicaragua, Where he went
some weeks ago on a leave of absence,
the Colombian officials here, it is stat
ed, received Information to the effect
that arms and'ammunition for the Co
lombian rebels on the Isthmus were
being shipped from Corinto.
The Colombian legation here has
been receiving reports of this charac
ter continually and in view of the at'
rangoment effected with the Nicara
guan minister before he left Wash
ington, Senor Concha lost no time in
calling Mr. Corea’s attention to the
matter. The latter official replied
Ihat. President Zelaya would imme
diately institute an investigation to
ascertain if the reports were well
founded. A short time ago, however,
more reports were received in Wasn
ington to the effect that Nicaragua
still continued her material support
of the revolutionists on the isthmus
and now Colombia, It. is stated, finds
her patience exhausted and has de
cided to prefer a formal demand for
an adjustment.

CAPT. ROBERT FARMER
PASSES AWAY IN ATLANTA
VETERAN PILOT WILL BE LAID
TO REST THIS AFTERNOON.
SECRET ORDERS ACT.
Capt. Robert Farmer, the well
known Brunswick pilot, passed away
in Atlanta, snortly after 11 o’clock
Friday night after a lingering illness
covering a period of several months.
Captain Farmer has been a very ill
man for a long time and was treated
by a number of Brunswick physicians,
without success. Ho gradually grew
worse and finally determined to vis...
Atlanta and place himself under the
care of a good physician of that city,
i sis was done, but still his condition
remained unchanged and Friday night
this truly good man passed into the
great unknown.
Every one in this city knew "Bob”
Farmer, as he was affectionately call
ed, and all will testify to the fact
that there never lived in Brunswick
a better man, when measured hy all
the tape line, that go to make up the
loyal husband; devoted father, and
true and good citizen. Honesty was
his cardinal creed and in all of his re
lationships in life this one trait of his
character at all times stood out in
hold relief.
For over a quarter of a cen
tury he has been a pilot on the Bruns
wick bar and the same uegree of ear
nestness and faithfulness that charac
terized him in his otner walks of life
was manifested in his business af
fairs. He was fearless in tne dis
charge of his duty, often very perilous,
and when a difficult piece of naviga
tion was required, it was “capt. Bob,”
who was detailed tor the service. Cap
tain Farmer leaves a wife and three
sons, Messes. Robert, no I and anil Der
ber and one daughter, Miss Janie, to
mourn his loss, all of whom have the
sympathy of a laTge circle of friends
in the city.
The remains, accompanied by Mrs.
Farmer and other members of the
family will reach the city this morn
ing and the funeral will occur this
afternoon, with Masonic honors,

The Trouble in the Black Republic
Does Not Seem to Abate and
Grows Fierce With Each

Cape Haytien, Aug. 30. —An eight
teen hour battle 'has been in progress

ernmnt and those of the re,els.

THE LYCEUM COURSE.
Many Good Attractions Coming This
Season.
The Lyceum coufise This year offers
R series of entertainments hy far the
best of ary former years.
The list of attractions booked so far
for the course, was published a cou
ple of weeks ago, but for the benefit
of those who failed to notice it, the
following will be of interest: Ralph
Bingham, humorous lecturer; Chas.
de Motte, lecture on the senses; Miss
Ida lsenfay, selections from Mark
Twain; in music, Otterman’s Concert
company, the Aril Quartette and the
Parker Concert Company. |
As there are many persons in the
city to whom a regular tneatrical per
formance has no interest, the drama
tic readings, concerts (vocal and in
strumental) furnish a delightful even
mg’s pleasure and the regular theatre
goes enjoys the change.
Though the Lyceum course of en
tertainments has been attempted
aere once or twice before, this is the
jrst year the regular "Alkahest
course” will be presented in Bruns
wick.
As the length of the list of attrac
tions depends on the number of sub
scribers and as those already booked
are of .such wide range, it is hoped in
terest in the venture will be keen
enough to assure the opera house
management the success they are
working so earnestly and honestly
for.
The terms are as follows: $3.00
Tor a single admission to each attrac
tion and $5.00 for two admissions to
each attraction for the wnole series,
transferable to any one.
