The Queen or the Turf Holds a Levee at
 Cincinnati.
 From the Cincinnati Gazette.l
 Maud s. has arrived. She got here on the 1923 express train, O. H. and D. depot, Sat urday night She occupied stall box car at tached to the train. It was o'clock yester- day morning before Maud s. reached her home quarters at Chester Park, she being given good rest at the depot. Quite levee was held yesterday by admirers of the ssOueen of the Turf" It would be hard to say which was the proudest- Captain Stone, the manager, Mir Bair, the driver, or Char ley Grant, the groom. In conversing with Gazette reporter yesterday, MT. Bair ex- pressed the most unwavering confidence that Maud S. can beat St. Juien's champion rec ord of 2:114. Mot that I want to run down St. Julien he said, flor he is the king of the trotting turf, but the Queen can beat the King St. Julien, in my opinion, can never repeat the performances Maud s. can better hers When the cablegram came from MT. Vanderbilt ordering Maud s. to be withdrawn had determined to cut down the record to 2:O9 or 2:1O She was in beautiful trim. It was a terrible disappointment to me. That dispatch was like club striking me. But what could we do? We had to obey orders. "
 ''Why did Mir. Vanderbilt withdraw Maud S.?" the reporter asked.
 MT. Bair said the reason was confden- tial one, and he could not make it known. He went so far, however, as to admit that dissatisfaction at the officers of the track had something to do with the withdrawal This action of MT. Vanderbilt incurred a big pecuniary loss on both himself and Captain Stone, as Maud s. was to have $5,000 for trotting there and $5 GOO were offered for her to trot at Minne- apolis on the Sth of September. St. Julien would receive $3, 800 for trotting up there, and S1O. 900 were offered for the pair to go. As to MT. Vanderbilt buying St. Julien for $50. .OOo, there was no truth in the story. Charley Green and MT. Harkey of New York had the refusal of him at $45, 900, they hay ing until nine o'clock Saturday night. the agreement being that if they did not close the bargain by that time, they were to pay g forfeit of LOGO They did not close the bargain, but they paid the forfeit.

On the 3d of March last he paroled and for time ap- neared to have reformed, but recently he fell into bad company and the board of directors determined to arrest him. An officer found Crevor as above, but before he could secure him Crevor jumped out of the window into the area below. He was picked up and died in few minutes.
