fame. She is under contract with D'Oyly
Carte to create the principal role in a new
Gilbert and Sullivan opera, not named yet,
in London, so her stay in America will be
limited to twenty-siX weeks
In connection with Miss Russell's ap-

would be an interesting sight If the ex
partners in her past matrimonial expert
ences would gather together and, with the
men who are regarded As future possibili-
ties, take box 81 ore Of her performances.
The principal figures in the group (besides
the possibilities) would be Harry Braham
and Teddy Solomon. whose names she hiss

this little group should be added Walter
Sim, TO whom she was engaged when she
married Harry Braham: William Sanford,
with whom she was incorrectly supposed
to have eloped from Chicago in 1889, and
Lillian Gray, who WAS forced 70 get di-
yorce from Teddy solomon in order that
the other Lillian might call him all her

has cleared in the neighborhood of II feet
in the pole vault At Monroe, Wis, in
1887, he took first place in the high jump,
with ft. 2 in; long jump, IS ft. 10 in,
and pole vault, 10 feet, respectively. He
next appeared at The big Turn Fest held in
Cincinnati in June, 1889, where he easily
secured first place with the pole at 10 ft
in.
In 1890 he also secured many prizes. At
the cham pionship tournament at St. Paul,
June 10 to 25 this year, he ldistanced all
competitors in the pole vault and was an
easy winner at 10 #. 4 in. He cleared the
same height at the Scotch picnic held at
Milwaukee Aug. 5. defeating the two Cana
dian athletes, Archie Scott and j. P. Wat
son.
His last public appearance was at Green
Bay, Wis, Aug. 80, where he carried all
before him, winning the following events:
High jump, 5 ft. in; long jump, 10 ft 81
in; pole vault, 10 ft. in, and 100 yards
dash in 10 As seconds.

do well with it When are considered the
sufferings the public has been forced to
undergo through the Efforts of other wo-
men who have tried to succeed on the stage
because Of notoriety gained in society or
the divorce courts, this viii be seen TO be
very remarkable.
As all newspaper readers know, Mrs.
Carter's name first became familiar TO
them during the progress of particularly
"spicy" divorce suit in Chicago, which re-
suited in a verdict for the husband. Before
this interesting event she had been well
known in society in what is now the
Worlds fair city. The divorce suit ended
In May, 1889, and after about year and
half of following newspaper notoriety she
appeared in November of last year as the
bright particular star of play called
''The Ugly Duckling." This piece was not
a glittering success, although Mrs. Carter
played her part we'll. Since she gave it up
her name has been connected with only
one sensation. That was rumor, which
proved to be wholly untrue, that she had
eloped with Playwright David Beiasco.
Miss Helyett," in which she is to ap-
pear, will be put on with the prestige of
an enormous success in Europe. 1t has

Paris and still finds favor there 1t has
also been performed prodtably in England,
Germany and Russia. The original YER
sion of the comedy was almost as spicy as
the Carter divorce suit, but it has been
toned down to suit English and American
propriety by the editor of London Punch
and by David Belasco. In its story mod
est little Quaker girl takes tumble in the
Alps, which lands her in an embarrassing
position. She is rescued, but in her con-
fusion she hides her face and does not look
at her rescuer. After it is all over. though,
she decides that she has been compromised
by her accident. and that it is absolutely
necessary for her to find and marry the man
who saved her. The fact that she has never
seen him gives an opportunity to make her
search for him very funny.

the quarters 16 hands.
Her peculiar conformation in this respect
resembles that of ElectiOneer and Maud s,
and it has long been considered sign of
great speed. Sunol is bay in color, and,
while she has a handsome head, she would
never take first prize at beauty show.
On the contrary. she seems far from pre-
possessing to the ordinary observer. She
is not particularly vicious, but nature and
hard training have made her one of the
most nervous, high strung and irritable
horses now on the turf. A story is told of
a blacksmith who carelessly brushed
against her one day. The neIs instant he
ascertained where she carried her speed

out as if set on a hair trigger and lifted the
unlueky blacksmith clear across his shop.

Sunol, the new turf queen, whose recent
mile in 2:0S1l on the Stockton (Cal) kite

honored worlds record, 2:OS5{ of Maud S,
has long been considered the heir appa-

all that no turf news of recent years has
aroused such general interest as the news
of the Palo Alto wonders rise to imperial
greatness Oct, 21. On that day the three
proudest men in America were probably
Senator Leland Stanford, Sunol's breeder;
Robert Bonner, her owner, and Charles
Marvin, her trainer and driver.
Sunol was foaled in 1856 at Palo Alto,

strange and to some minds uncanny in the
way the two men grew old at the same
even rate. If Mr.. Leopold found another
gray hair in his beard he seized the first
opportunity to see Mr.. Gould, and found
that be, too, had gained gray hair.
Once Mr.. Leopold was offered SO, 900 to
personate Mr.. Gould. 1t was during that
part Of the campaign of 1884, when poll
tics and finance ran into one, as it were,
and the scheme was for Mr.. Leopold TO fall
On Wall street as if senseless. The con-
spiratOrs were to hurry him into a car
1aRe and up town, and announce that
"Mr. Gould was fatally injured" OF
course the wires were to be cut which lead
to the Gould country seat, then the trick
sters could have realized on the panic in
stocks.
Mr.. Leopold has also had good offers to
personate Jay Gould on the stage, but de-
cliDed. Wearied of this kind of notoriety
he has cut off his mustache and trimmed
his black beard TO a Vandyke point, so as
to look as little like Jay Gould as nature
will allow.
