CINCINNATI, O., June 1.-THE ac-
quaintances of Chancery r. Winslow will
probably be surprised at the announcement
that he has sued for divorce from his
wife, who is so well-known in the theatre
cal world as Sophie Eyre. Mr.. Winslow,
who is son of A. S. Winslow, vice-presi-
dent of the First national bank, and is
prominent in society circles, was in the city
last week and attended the Latonia races.
but left for the East a few days ago. Dur
ing his presence here there were rumors
that he had applied for legal separation
from his wife, but they could not be veri-
fed. The New York Clipper of this week
contains the announcement that Mr. Wins
low has filed his petition in the courts of
San Francisco, where he is engaged in the
rubber business and has resided for some
time. To some the news will not be great
surprise. The intimate friends of Mr..
Winslow know that since the marriage in
New York in January last, the two have
been together very little. There is
QUITE A ROMANCE
connected with the marriage, which, by the
way, was not publicly known here until a
month later, when Miss Eyre played at the
Grand opera house with the Wallack COM
pany. Mr.. Winslow, dashing, stylish
fellow of about so, met his wife on steam
ship returning from Europe. She was a
young, handsome actress whom Lester
Wallack had engaged in London to play
leading parts in his New York theater.
Their acquaintance ripened into love and
then marriage. So quiet was the wedding,
on Jan. 10 last, that Mr.. Winslow's parents
in this city knew nothing of it. Miss
Eyres correct name at the time of her mar
rage was Mrs. LonsdaIe. She was the
widow of an English officer when she
played here last March, and the secret
leaked out. Mrs. Winslow was recognized
and entertained by many society people. A
reception was given in her honor on Moune
Auburn. The grounds of Mr.. Winslow'f
petition have not yet been made known.
When reporter called at Mr.. A. S. Win.
slows handsome residence, corner of Read
ing road and Oak street, that gentleman
said he had heard of no divorce suit being
filed by his son and knew nothing about it.
