THE CHADWICK ESTATE.
A Portland Family May Share in the
Award.

Twenty years ago this month Cornell
'ius Chadwick, real estate agent at POI
South Fifth street, Philadelphia, first
learned that he was next in line to the
Sir Andrew Chadwick, who died in Eng
land in 1886. After persistently fighting
in the court of chancery, with the 101
English agents and barristers this score
of years, the enormous estates of the old
English knight are now in sight of the
American claimant and a compromise is
soon expected by which Mr.. Chadwick,
who is now the heir at law, and a pow
erful New York syndicate which is furn-
ishing the sinews of war to prosecute the
claim, receive large portion of the es-
tate valued at not less than $751;, ZOO, 900.
At the time of Sir Andrews death his
possessions had grown 81, 100, 900; main
ly in London real estate, where he owned
over 1000 houses. He had no children.
The Philadelphia claimant had not the
means necessary to prosecute his claim,
SO he took wealthy New York syndi-
cate in with him, and their leading law
yer Gen. Blank of New York, has been
in London for over a year prosecuting
the claim. Everything has been done
through literally paid English barris-
tiers.
The Chadwick family of this city are
descendants of the same Sir Andrew
Chadwick, and it is to be hoped that
they will come in for share in this mag

In the 2.36 class five horses appeared
and drew positions, but Kite was drawn
and that left the starters, J. Alba, 1;
Jessie H., 2; Fred Lothian, and Winth-
rop Pilot 4.
In the first heat J. Alba, with the pole,
went to the front, but skipped and was
passed by Jessie Fl. and Winthrop Pilot.
They went to the half mile all well to-
gether. j. Alba settled and took the
lead with a fine burst of speed. He was
not headed again. although Pilot made a
powerful push for him on the home
stretch and finished right on j.. Alba's
wheel. The positions were won by Alba
l, Winthrop Pilot 2, Jessie 81. 8, Fred
Lothian 4. Time 2.34t.
In the second heat there was some de-
lay in getting start, and finally Mr..
Smith, the starting judge, told the pole
horse to go up the stretch hundred
yards and any horse coming ahead of
him would be fined $40. This arrange
ment was received with applause by the
spectators for there were only four
horses, and there was no reason for non
sense. Then they got away and one Of
the closest and most exciting races ever
witnessed in Cumberland county re-
suited. 1t was a constant struggle from
start to finish. Fred Lothian was lead
ing, at the first half mile in 1.16. Then
Lothian got unsteady and was passed
successfully by Alba and Winthrop Pilot
These two had a great race down the home
stretch and they went under the wire nose
and nose. It looked like dead heat but
the judges justly awarded it to Win
throp Pilot for doing the square trotting.
Time 2.324. Lothian was second and
Jessie II third.
The third heat was very close one, all
four of the horses finishing the first half
without break in Lie. In the second
half they did not do so good work. Win
throp Pilot finished first, J. Alba second,
Jessie H. third and Fred Lothian fourth.
Time 2.35.
The fourth and deciding heat in the
well fought race was taken by Winthrop
Pilot but not without a constant push by
J. Alba. But Pilot behaved well and
strong and probably never appeared to
better advantage in race. The time,

First money went to Winthrop Pilot;
second by Abs and third money was

DROPPED DEAD ON THE STREET.
Mr.. James T. Leighton of New Haven
Victim of Heart Disease.

At about $50 o'clock last night, Mr..
James T. Leighton of New Haven, Ct,
left the Preble House to 60 to the post
office. When at the Federal street corner
of the United States hotel some bystand-
ers saw him reel and before they could
reach him he fell, striking his head
against the corner of the building
Messrs. James Davis and George .Heffon
picked him up.
Patrolmen Quinn and Smith were soon
upon the scene and Rich's ambulance
was called. The body was taken to
Rich's undertaking rooms on Exchange
street, where it was identified as that OF
Mr.. Leighton.
Mr.. Leighton came to this city yester-
day morning, with his wife; and regis
tered at the Preble, He then went out
to find his son, who has been visiting the
city for some time. He ascertained that
his son was stopping at the Blanchard
house but could not find him there. He
did find his sons roommate in the even
ing and they started out to see if they
could find his son. Near the corner of
Federal street and the United States no.
tel, he told the gentleman, that he was
subject to attacks of heart disease, one
of which would probably carry him off,
and that he felt as if he was going to
have an attack. The gentleman suggest
ed his going to the hotel and he would
try to find the son himself. The gentle
man started off, leaving Mr.. Leighton.
He had not gone far before he heard that
man had dropped dead on the square.
Thinking the man might be Mr.. Leigh
ton, he hurried back and found it was
him.
DR.. King viewed the bedy and said Mr..
Leighton could have breathed but few
moments after his attack.
Mr.. Leighton's son was found soon
after his fathers death. He had not
known that his father was in the city,
not expecting a visit from him until
September. 4ae
Mr.. Leighton was resident of New
Haven and had been in the railroad sup
ply business in New York. He was about
go years of age. He had suffered from
an attack of apoplexy before and from
several attacks of heart disease.

Which Are Famous for Many Miles
Around-Three Thousand Saw Two
Good Races-More Fun In Store for
Today.
The Cumberland Farmers Club OPP
ened their 24th annual exhibition on
their pleasant and well arranged grounds
at West Cumberland, which enclose a
good half mile track, stables, cattle
pens, spacious exhibition building, din
ing hall, offices and all that goes to make
up every convenient arrangement for an
agricultural fair and the exhibition and
display of the speed of horses.
This club is composed of the progress
i've and intelligent farmers of the ancient
towns of Cumberland, Falmouth, Gray
and North Yarmouth. All of these
towns have long been famous for fine
cattle and farm stock generally, and OF
late years have come into prominence in
their contribution to Names great indus
try in the breeding of superior horses.
One of the features of this fair has al
ways been good old-fashioned New Eng
land farm dinner, with plenty of deli
ciously baked beans. brown bread, In
dian pudding, mince and pumpkin and
squash pies, to say nothing of chicken,
lamb, tongue and beef spread in profu-
sion with plenty of good coffee and tea.
The display in the hall, while, perhaps,
not SO extensive as usual, is very fine,
and fully makes UP any possible deficiency
in quantity. The fruit this year is ex-
eellent, a marked improvement being no
ticeable in apples. Of course it was a
little early for the full development of
the products of the farm and garden, but
the specimens shown were very choice.
The produce of the dairy is of the high
est character and does great honor to the
gentle danes and maidens of Falmouth,
Cumberland and other adjoining towns
who made the golden butter and rich
cheese. The display of needlework is
exceptionally large and beautiful. Upon
the grounds the exhibition of cattle was
decidedly superior. Cumberland had a
town team of ten yoke and Falmouth a
team of the same number of pairs. There
is also good display of dairy stock, par
ticularly the Jerseys. The poultry is
also very pretty and embraces many
choice breeds.
The Races.
There were two races for the clubs
purses-the 800 class for purse of 500
and 2.36 class, also for purse of 500.
The grounds presented very animated
appearance. Hundreds of carriages
were stacked about and the grand stand
was well filled with spectators and 9TH
ers were scattered about to the aggregate
of an attendance of some 5000 people.
Tony Clark's juvenile band of Cumber-
land Mills discoursed stirring music. The
judges and the starters were Messrs.
Geo. P. Smith of Chicago; Sylvanus Por-
ter of Cumberland Centre and VIM. Irish
of Deering.
