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.

Toe race was a one and the result while a surprise, has occas ioned nothing but pleasant comment.

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.

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.

The Lyceum coufise This year offers R series of entertainments hy far the best of ary former years.
