one mile and one-quarter, and the track
was heavy and sticky. Before the race
Rudolph, Wildwood and the Undins
stables Racine and Csdmus were even
in the betting st twc &c enc to win.
After few attempts the horses were
given . good send-off, with Racine and
Charmion in the lead. Charmion
started out to make the running and
carried Racine at furious clip to
the thres-quarters pole. with the
others trailing behind. Then Wild
wood came mp and took the
lead with Cadmus second, Racine
dropping back. wildwood maintained
his lead to the stretch. winning by two
lengths, Cadmus second, Charmion
third. Racine fourth, and the great
Rudolph, from whom no much was ex-
pectsd, fifth. He was never really in
the race. Stromboli, an Australian
horse, was sixth, and made poor show
ing with only 100 pounds up. The time
for such day and track was remarka-
bly, fast. The stake wss worth 5000 to
the winner, who was heavily backed.

GRAND ARMY PICNIC.
Everything Passed Off spIendidly
at Wildwood.

The fateS were kind to the G. A. r.
people when they decreed that their
annual picnic should he postponed until
yesterday, tor more perfect day could
not he imagined, nor more perfect cir
cumstances altogether for a grand re-
union and picnic. The lake was all that
the most eXacting person could desire,
and the Grand Army men, their ladies
and friends, were not slow to avail them
selves of the splendid boating facilities
that the resort affords. Contrary to the
usual custom, the long programme of
sports, which always seems indiSpens-
able on such occasions, was omitted. and
instead of going through this laborious
amusement the picnickers were left tree
to enjoy the nselves each in his or her
own way. The result was that they
took in in turn the ry-go-round, the
roller coaster, the razzle-dazzle, and, in
fact, all that Wildwood affords in the
shape of amusement.
Several large naphtha launch parties
were made up, and took trip around
the lake, while others (among whom
were many of the older people) just
enjoyed themselves quietly sitting
around the shore fishing. About 1000
people, or probably more, went out
from town. in fact, every car that ar
rived all through the day brought few
more to swell the crowd. The posts that
were represented were: Saltwater post
and corps, White Bear post, Garfield
post and corps, Acker post and corps,
Hastings post and Minneapolis post. E.
f. Crocker, commander of Garfield post,
took very active part in the carrying
out OF the arrangements, and he, with
the other members of his committee,
deserve great deal of credit for the
smooth way III which everything passed
off. All are agreed that it is very
much better to go to place where
there is such variety of entertain
ment furnished, as there is at the pop
ular White Bear resort, than to 20 to
some of the other picnic places and
furnish the entertainment, as it in
wolves so much less work for commit
tees. to say nothing of the additional
satisfaction to all concerned.

KATE LEVY DISCHARGED.
The Question Whether She Is Wife
Ofan Elk NOT Decided


Ofan Elk Not Decided.
The trial of Kate Levy, charged with
obtaining 81 from Manager Bixby, of
the Grand, under false representations,
came up in the police court yesterday
afternoon before Judge Cory. Third As
sistant Cooperation Attorney Chaplin
appeared Tor the prosecution, and Benn
Davis looked after the interests Of the
defendant. MIR. Davis took exceptions
to the complaint ON the ground that it
did not allege whose money it was that
Mr.. BlXby gave the defendant. Judge
Cory sustained the objection, but Mr.
Davis allowed the complaint, stating
to the court that his client was innocent
OF the charge, and that no technical
mistake would lie taken advantage of.
Manager BiXby testified that Mrs. :,
Levy had called OH hlln ON Friday last.
and stated that she was the wife of Alf
Wheeian. and had visited st. Paul in
search of her husband. She said she
had nothing to eat for two days, and
was In destitute circumstances. At the
time she showed list of number of
names of members of the order of Elks
in the city. and said her husband was a
member Of the order. He gave her two
dollars, relying OH her statements about
her destitute circumstances and the
further statement that her husband was
member of the order of Elks.
Manager Wilbur. of the Wilbur Opera
company, testified tnat he knew Alf
Wheelan personally. He did not know
whether Wheelan was member of the
Elks or not. neither did he know wheth-
or Mrs. Levy was Wheelan's wife. On
cross-eXamination the witness said the
defendant had travelled with Wheelan
in bis company, and was known as
Wheelan's wife.
j. l.. Stack, exalted ruler of the st.
Paul lodge of Elks, testified that Wheel
ans name did not appear in the list Of
those in good standing i'll the order.
This part of his testimony was stricken
out ON objection of counsel for Mrs.
Levy. Continuing. Mr.. Stack said Mrs.
Levy had visited his Office, and he had
given her a check for S., and also list
of names Of other members Of the order
In the city. On cross-examination the
witness said Mrs. Levy had stated that
her husband. Alf Wheelan. was mem-
Der of the order of Elks. When he
made out the check he put on it the
word Charity" This Mrs. Levy OBJ
jected to, but he did not change the
check. She visited him again at his
office, and requested the loan of So
more. When he gave her the money it
was because he thought she needed it,
and he was willing to give it whether
he was beaten OF not. a.
George A. Hughes was called to the
stand to testify that he had been pres
ent at the marriage of ALT Wheelan in
Chicago lact summer to Alice Vane.
Mr.. Davis objected to this kind of testi-
moDy, and the court sustained the
objection. John w. Owsns testified
that the defendant came to his office
Friday last. but as he had been fore
warned he told the boy who was with
her and asked for him that he was very
busy and had not the time to talk with
her. Third Assistant Corporation At
torney Chaplin said as the court would
not allow him to call witnesses to show
the defendant was not the wife of Alf
