There were also a number of vak uable stake events 'down for decision for the autumn- meetings on the Canadian courses, tut the ruling which ended racing In Canada on August 1 no doubt prevented several of the horses from adding another event or two to their winning lists.

Maxim Litvinoff. who has been appointed Bolsheviki ambassador to Great Britain and who said yesterday that he probably would return to Petrograd. has decided to remain in London pending the receipt of his instructions. His photograph is printed prominently in the news papers. It shows the highly intelligent tace oi a weu Dorn ana educated man. He is described as bpino- hrnarl minH. ed, and it is said that he is attached to English institutions and England, where he has lived for a decade. Will Accept. M. Litvinoff 's wife is an FnollcJi woman and he is an old friend and associate of LeViinc. He is declared to be ,a whole-hearted supporter of the Bolsheviki. with whom he annar. ently is in close touch. The Daily Mail quotes him as saying that until a courier brings him his formal ap pointment he cannot say whether he will accent the amhassarlnrshin finf in a long interview in the Daily Dr. Connolly Sells Wyoming Farm For $380,000; Cost Him $2,000 Dr. J.

SHOE SALE H " ' 4 Y m IS The Sale Started Yesterday Chronicle he speaks as if he is re solved to take it. "My task as ambassador," he says, "will be to disseminate the truth about Russia and to dissipate misunder standing and misinterpretation of the motives, character and purpose of the workmen's and soldiers' government. It is grossly mischievous to represent the Bolsheviki as pro-German, anti ally or as mere pacifists. They op-i pose replacing Prussian militarism by Russian, French or English militarism." Against Kaiserism. M. Litvinoff declared his emphatic belief that by the present negotiations and propaganda among the "German soldiers in the east Trotzky and Le- nine are contributing to the downfall of kaiserism more effectually than the allies fighting m the west. He con cludes: "I am sanguine enough to imagine that the Russian and German armies on the eastern front some day will inarch together against the common foe of the world's proletariat in Ger many itself and perhaps in other countries, too."
