Stanps 17 Wetu.—The British lion, for a beast that has had his tail twisted so much of late. seems to be still possessed of a remark- ably good appetite. Within the past month he has gobbled up two groups of islands in the South Pacific, annexed 50,000 square miles of territory on the east of Zanzibar, and com- pleted his title to Sikkim, a proviuce on the north-east confines of India. It would really seem as if the B. L. was wholly unaware of the horrid way the Yankee tail-twisters are talking about him. At all events he shows no disposition to relinquish his grip on any part of the earth.

Of the oat crop 50 per cent. has been housed in good condi- tion, 25 per cent. in a damaged state, and the rest has been fed green. Half the buckwheat crop has been destroyed by frost.

THE RACES TO-DAY—UNFAVORABLE WEATHER
[SrectaL By TELEPHONE. | A drizzling rain set in at twelve o'clock to-day; but as the track was in good order onia large number of peop'e were on tle Park, the first race ws called shortly after one o'clock. This was the two-year-old race, half mile heats, best two in three, purse $30. There were four entries— Nellie West, driven by John Durant; Hermit, owned by A. N. Large, Charlottetown; Jim, by W. A. Noonan,Sumimerside, and Lady Pilot, by Mr. Horriel, North River. first Heat.—-Nellie West wou the pole, and all four got away well together, Nellie West and Lady Pilot leading. In a few seconds Lady Pilut shot ahead, closely fol- lowed by Hermit. The race between these two was a pretty one, Lady Pilot winning, closely followed by Hermit. Time, 1.36. Second Heat.—In this heat there was 4 very close and exciting contest for first place between Lady Pilot and Hermit. |The latter, however, broke several times, jand Lady Pilot came in ahead. The others fell to the rear earlyfin the heat, but trotted , Very gamely and gained somewhat .towards ithe last. ime, 1.37. The track was by | this time in bad order. THREE YEAK OLD RACE.
}
hree eniries, Clayola, Truro, driven by A. 4. Shipp, Island Chief, New London,driven ry Fitzsimmons, and Moss Ri se, Summer- side, driven by Steele.
| First Heat,--The start was a good one. (Clayola soon took the lead, but was closely ifollowed by Moss Rose, both trotting ! beautifully. The heat was won by Clayola, Moss Rose a very good second and Island Chief a bad third. Time, 3.03.
Second Heat.—In this heat Cleyola again took the lead, with Moss Rose trotting we!l and gamely behind her and Island Chief well nigh distanced. Time, 3.05.
GREEN RACE.
The green race was then called, Plug, owned by C. S. Howatt, winning the pole ; but as Plug was not on the ground and it was raining heavily, and the track was by this time quite muddy, there was consider- able delay before the race begun. Finally the fullowing started on the understanding that Plug would be permitted to take his place in the race to-morrow, viz. : Crow- foct, owned by Robert Wade; All Right, Jr., by W. A. Noonan, and Wellington Belle, by J. C. Arsenault.
First Heat.—A good start wes effected, but early in the heat All Right, jr., broke badly, and was passed by both Crowfoot and Wellington Belle. After settling down to his work again he partially made up his lost ground, passing Wellington Belle, but was unable to overtake Crow- foot, who won the heat in 3.05.
