Do ot Know -What Boat Stopped the
, Comedian. '
LONDON, Auk. 24. The fciltlsh Foreign
office has not yet been able to establish
the Identity of the JlusHlan. cruiser which
recently examined the paptrrs of the liriiish
steamer 'Comedian off the southern coiul
of Cape Colony. Telegraphic reports trom
the authorities at Durban confirm the ex
amination of the paper, but om no per
son on board the Comedian could read Rus
sian channcttrs, dlfltclilty lias ieen found
In determining the' name' of the cruiser.
The description-lven by the commander
of the Comedian tallies with that of the
SmoJondk, but it might also be the descrip
tion of the converted liner lion. The au
thorities are continuing the Investigation,
but pendlnK a settlement of the all-important
question, Whether the Smolensk
conducted the search, Great Hrltaln Is un
able to act as determinedly as It is aasenel
at the Foreign office it would be entitle!
to If thu fuct was definitely established.
There is reason to believe that Ambarsudor
Ilurdlnge will .make Inquiries at St. Peters
burg and he may even tco so far as to ex
press, tho hope- that neither the Smolensk
nor tho St. Petersburg are continuing the
examination of neutral vessels contrary to
the. assurances given by Russia. In any
event, It Is said that the ambassador will
enter a fresh protest against the examina
tion of a neutral ship at a point so dis

Consuela S Wins the Itleh Massachu
setts Stake In the Fifth Heat.
READV1LLK, Mass., Aug. 24. Ten thou
sand people saw Consuela S. win the Massa
chusetts stake, the richest event on the
-harness turf this year. In five fiercely con
tested heats today. The stake was for
trotters eligible to the 2:10 class last April,
and was Valued at $15,000. Consuela S. was
a second choice nnd won the three final
heats after the first had been captured by
George O. and the second had gone to Dr.
Strong, the favorite. Every condition for
the blk race, was perfect. Dr. Strong was
an almost even favorite against the whole
field of twelve horses.
In the initial heat Oeers slipped through
the lot before reaching the first turn wltn
George G , ' and, taking a lead of a clear
length, maintained the advantage to the
wire. The second looked like a repetition
of tho first heat In the final eighth, when
the favorite drove to the front, taking the
heat at the very finish. There was much
scoring for the tnird heut, De Ryder coming
to the wire in advance of the other horses
with C'onsuela S. He was finally fined 1100
by the starting Judge, but came down half
a length In front when the word was given.
This gave him a clear track and, although
Dr. Strong w?nt his best at the last quar
ter he could not overtake the leader, who
won by not more than a foot. Jt was a
heart-breaking heat and brought the spec
tators to their feet. All not standing for
money returned to the stables after the
third heat. Of the four left to tight It out,
Consuela S. was the freshest, as Hhe had
been well back In the lirst two heuts. It
was comparatively easy for her to take the
two following heats over Dr. Strong, who
had fought tor every heat.
It waa generally conceded that Arlsto
would .would win the i: 16 trotting race, but
the-ca'llfornla m.tre. Tuna, took tirst place.
In the Tyro stake, for 3-year-old trotters.
PVlneetw Athel was a prohibitive' favorite!
The winner, however, wus Lord Revel

ing message to the people:
By the will of Coil. we. the Cz.-ir and
autocrat of all the Kusslns. Cx.ir of Poland,
grand duke of Finland, etc., announce lo
our faithful subjects that on this, the day
of the rhristening of our son and heir, the

to establish In Poland.
The genral provisions of the manifesto

nesty for political offences, except In cases
of murder, and the education of the chil
dren of officers and soldiers who have been
victims of the war, as well as assistance
for such families as need It wfiose bread
winners have fallen In the service of their
country.
The stun of $1,600,000 Is set apart from the
state fund for the benefit of landless people
of Finland.
All fines Imposed or. villages, towns or

1903 are remitted.
Finns nelleved From Prosecution.
Permission Is granted to Finns who have

The newspapers are unanimous In wel
coming the abolition of corporal punish
ment as the most Important concession

"It will be hailed as the disappearance
of a, great evil. No longer will It be possi
ble to stigmatize Russia as the land of the
knout"
The Novoo Vremya says the abolition of

A5 EASY
Needs Only a Llltle Thinking.
The food of children often decides
whether one is to grow up well nourished
and healthy or weak and sickly from im
proper food.
It's just as eusy to be one as te other
provided we get a proper start.
A wise physician like the Denver Doctor
who knew about food, can accomplish
wotidera providing the patient Is willing
to help and will eat only proper food.
Speaking of this case the mother said
her little four year old boy was suffering
from a peculiar derangement of the stom
ach, liver and kidneys and his feet became
so swollen he couldn't take a step. "We
called a Doctor who said at once we must
be very careful as to his diet as improper
food was the only cause of his sickness.
Sugar especially, he forbid.
"So the Doctor made up a diet and the
principal food he prescribed was Grupe
Nuts aud the boy, who was very fond of
weet things took the Grape-Nuts readily
without adding any sugar. (Dr. explained
that the sweet in Grape-Nuts la not at all
like cane or beet sugar but is the natutal
sweet of the grains.
We saw big improvement inside a few
days and now Grape-Nuts are almost his
only food and he Is once more a healthy,
happy, rosy cheeked youngster with every
pre pec t to grow up into a strong healthy
man." Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek. Mich.
The sweet In Grape-Nuts is the Nature
sweet known ss Post Sugar, not digested
in the liver like ordinary sugar, but pre
dlgestrd. Feed the youngsters a handful
of Grape-Nuts .when Nature demands
sweet and prompts them to call for sugar.

NEW WORLD'S RECORDS MADE
"Green Dragon" Gives Two More Good
Exhibitions of Speed.
AUTO RACES A PRONOUNCED SUCCESS
Alonsn C. Webb Meets with an Acci
dent at the Driving Park
Which Furnishes Sen
sation. The "Green Dragon," driven by Barney
Oldfleld, made two new world's records at
the SprnRue street driving park yesterday
1:12 4-6 for one mile, cutting down his
own 1:13 3-5, made Monday, and 6:23 1-6 for
five miles, reducing his record of 6:26, made
at Toronto August 6. With the new rec
ords safely packed away in his grip Old
field and hlH manager left last night for
Detroit, for other worlds to conquer.
Alonzo C. Webb could not hold the pace
set by Oldfleld and was beaten li. the
last heat of the five-mile contests, but
Webb furnished probably a greater sensa
tion than the winner. It was In a special
challenge race for four-cylinder machines,
against time, with a Pope-Toledo owned
In Omaha, for $100. Webb met with the
only accident of the racing meet. With a
flying start he had covered the first half
mile of the race In 41 1-6 seconds and was
going fast nnd furious around the last
quarter of the first lip of the second mile
when the tire of his right wheel flew off,
turned a beautiful curve and nearly went
over the outside fence. Webb Immediately
checked the machine, but the rim broke
and the automobile went down on Its ri,nt
side. Webb had turned to the left and
crashed through the fence before the racer
stopped. He retained his presence' of mind
and also his sent, and when It was all
over was none the worse for the accident.
He walked up the track to the Judges'
stand, where he received quite an ovation,
and within five minutes he was seated In
his Pope-Toledo "Cyclone" and running his
race with Oldfleld.
Race I th Ginger In It.
It was In the race immediately following
this special that Oldfleld made the new
records. In the first lap around the track
Webb gained several lengths on Oldfleld.
With each mile Oldfleld hit up a warmer
pace, and In the last mile finished with a
burst of speed that turned the track In
1:12 4-6 and left Webb nearly an eighth of
a mile to the bad. The time of the race
was:
Oldfleld. Webb.
First 'mile 1.-2S 1:26 2-6
Second mile 2:411-5 2 44 1-5
Third mile 8:04 4:01 1-8
Fourth mile 5:0! 2-5 6 17
Fifth mile 6:23 1-5 6:34 4-5
Oldfleld's fastest mile: 1:12 4-5.
It was In his third mile that Oldfleld
commenced to throw the throttle open antl
strike bursts of speed. His manager wan
standing near the starting line, giving sig
nals as to speed and record and urging the
flying chauffeur Into greater action. Webb
kept up the furious pace, hut the "Gree
Dragon" kept on making corners as If Its
driver needed the money, and Its perform
ance set the large crowd wild. On the
third mile Webb was about one-sixteenth
of a mile to the bad and when the race
ended Oldfleld had extended his advantage
to about one-eighth of a mile.
Webb After a Record.
Webb was also unfortunate in his trial
against Oldfleld's record, as he was com
pelled to stop through some fault of the
mechanism in the hist attempt, but he cut
the record us it stood Tuesday morning by
one-fifth of a second,, making the mile In
1:15.4-6. ,Webb was apparently in earnest
in this. .attempt, and never faltered-for-a
moment. This race was run shortly be
fore the accident. It Is quite probable that
ho got all the speed out of the "Cyclone"
posslblo on the hulf-mile track, Its pe
culiar construction being a handicap
on the short course with the numerous
turns. The manner in which he flew
around corners was Intensely exciting and
when the time was announced the large
audience gave the plucky Webb a generous
hand.
The demoralized Pope-Toledo attarcted
general attention, but later with the sub
stitution of a new wheel came down town
with Its own power and excited admiration
of automobile enthusiasts.
The amateur events of the duy were
rather more closely contested than on
Tuesday, there being several "neck and
neck" finishes. The first race was between
Beaton's Rambler, driven by Arthur Gard
ner, and Updike's Franklin, driven by H.
E. Frederlckson. It was one of the pret
tiest races possible, Gardner getting the
pole at the quarter and holding on like a
sticking plaster with Frederlckson always
within a machine length of the leader. In
this way they crossed under the wire In
8:08 for the two miles. The first half was
made In 0:47. It was a special match raca
and was a showy starter for the events that
followed. The first mile was made lu
1:3514.
Acrobatic Amateurs.
Tho start and stop race for fully equipped
cars, each carrying four people, ears to
stop In front of the stand, passengers to
dismount, remount, start the engine and
repeat this every half mile for two miles.
The entries were Wlnton, driven by Fred
erlckson; Olds, by A. W. Smith, and Ramb
ler, driven by Tom Brownell. The Rambler
got away with a good start. The first atop
developed the fact that Frederlckson was
much better at starting, for he nearly
caught the Rambler. On the second lap
the machines stopped almost together,
Frederlckson a little to the bad, but he
was In and off with one-sixteenth of a mile
to the good while Brownell was excitedly
trying to turn on the spark with -the crank
and otherwise acting nervously. His nerv
ousness and lack of control lost him the
race and Fredrickson won hand down, his
time being 6:05. The third dismount and
load cost tho Rambler ono-quarter of a
mile and at the finish it was sixteen lengths
to the bad, with the Olds far back In the
ruck and running slowly.
The Cadillac, driven by Guy Smith, with
mufflers off, defeated the Olds In the light
machine contest in u one-mile race In
2:07H- The winner might have protested,
hut Mr. Derlght did not care to enter a
protest.
The Australian pursuit race drew Up
dike's Franklin, Fredrickson t up; Beaton's
Rambler, Arthur Gardner In the seat, and
Gould Dietz'a White Steamer, driven by
Frank Decker. The contestants protested
against the admission of the Pnpo-Tolrdo
driven by Webb and the Judges sustained
the protest, causing the race against tlmo
that so nearly resulted disastrously. The
Franklin was started at the S pole, the

Rambler at the t and the White Steamer
on scratch. The latter did not act with
Its usual showing and on the first h4f
mile Fredrickson brought up the Franklin
and passed the steamer, retiring It from
the race. He then kept after the Rambler,
but the two made the prettiest kind of a
fight holding about equl-dlstant and finish
ing with Fredrickson a little ihead. The
ten miles were reeled oft In 11.60.
In the Flrr-Mlle Racr.
The same machines with the same driv
ers came together again In the five-mile
contest from scratch. The race quickly
developed Into a fight between the Franklin
and the Rambler. The two machines raced
mile after mile with scarcely twenty feet
between them. Fredrickson on the Frank
lin held the pole for about four nnd one
half miles. Gardner fighting nil the time
to get by, and on the turn In the last half
mile he succeeded and won In 8:05 by two
lengths. The miles were run as follows:
1:3K. 3:18, 4:52 and 8:06.

of the meeting was a rsc between Dr.

Decker on tho Thomas. The Steamer won
handily In 9:4.1 for the five miles.

The attendance was about 2,."no and the
meeting was a pronounced success. Some
of the amateurs hesitated about entering,
and many events were reduced to three
machines where several had been entered.
Updike was not In this list, as his ma
chine was always ready and this was also
true of the Hnmbler nnd White Steamers.
Webb left last night for St. Louis, where
he will again meet Oldfleld In n few days.
Both expressed themselves as delighted
with Omaha nnd with the meeting as well.
