MARTHA WILKES.

Budd Doble Drives the Swift Mare to
the Fastest Time Ever Trotted in a
Race.
EVANSVILLE, Ind, Sept. 29.-Budd
Doble broke another worlds record this
afternoon. He drove Martha Wilkes
mile in the free for all trot in 2:0S1. 1t
was announced from the judges stand
that it was the greatest heat ever trotted
in race. The other great records have
been made against time. The only other
starter was Gillette. Three heats were
trotted and were all taken by Martha
Wilkes. Time, 2:17t, 2:1S, 2:0S4. The
stake was 81, 500, with $500 added in the
event of breaking the track record of 2:10.
Twenty thousand people saw the race.
Gillette (2:12) was never fast enough
to make the mare entend herself at any
stage of the race. The start in the third
heat was poor and nobody expected the
mare would do anything unusual. Gillette
fell behind six lengths at the first quarter,
and was nowhere at the half, which Martha
passed in 1:044. From there the mare
came on and finished fresh and strong
Gillette was so far behind that the people
forgot he started. Doble was given great
ovation.
In 2:20 trot Alabama won; Myrtle sec
ond. Best time 2:17.

LENA FLEISHMAE'S WILL.
Judge Coffey Decides 1t Was Not Signed
in Rer Presence.

Judge COffey Decides 1t Was Not Signed
in Her Presence.
A nice point regarding the signature of a
will was decided yesterday by Judge Coffey
in the estate Of Lena Fleishman. The ques-
ton was whether the instrument offered for
probate as the will was signed by those
whose names are appended thereto as sub
Scribing witnesses. Subdivision of sec
ton 1876 Of the Civil Code provides in the
matter Of an atteSted will that there must
be two attesting witnesses, each Of whom
must sign his name al q witness at the end
OF the ill at the testat0T'S request and in
his presence.
"In presence of the testator," said the
Judge. means that the testator must not
only be present cOTp0rally but mentally as
well, and capable of understanding the acts
which are taking place before him. In this
case the instrument was signed by the SUBJ
Scribing witnesses 10 an apartment aGjoiu-
ing that in viii the teStatrix lay Ill, and
between the bed and opposite where her
head lay there was partition wall, an alb
solutely opaque substance, dividing the two
apal tments.
"On the other side of the wall, at table
near the window. without the sight or hear
ing OF the testatrix. the two witnesses sub
scribed their names, the testatriX having
previously signed her name while reclining
on her bed, not being able to rise therefrom.
1t was impossible for her to see Mat was
transpiring on the other side Of the wall by
natural vision"
The decision cites numerous cases, and
holds that IN this case the will was not
signed in the presence Of the tPStatriX.

Of Larsen's Inn, the BOlnas bridge and

Larsen's Inn was made in l hour and 45
minutes, Laggnitas station was reached al 3

along the ridge is overgTOwn with shrubs
and IN some places is completely lost and
the pedestrians several times lost their
bearings aud had to fight their way through

which time has never been beaten. On the
occasion mentioned the cross country team
Of the Olympic Club started from Ross

To Go to EI Gamma.

Those who have not yet taken the oppor-
tunity to visit the new pleasure grounds
known as FL Campo and owned by the
North Pacific and San Francisco Railway
Company, naturally ask how do YOU get
there and what is there to be seen p" The
answer to this is that for the same fare that
Is charged for a return ticket to Oakland
you can buy a round-trip ticket to the new
grounds and reach them by the commodious
steamer Ukiah any Sunday, and when you
get there after delightful trip along the
bay, through Raccoon Straits and into San
Pablo Bay, you lave a NEST magn .fcent
marine view and an opportunity to see
much picturesque and noun ain scenery
Then the grounds themselves are we'll worth
a visit, and are in part of Marin County
atfurding many opportunities for n ramble.
The Ukiah viii make four trips from this
city 10 the grounds next Sunday.
