in whose name Wild Huntsman ran. 1t
has been shown that Bill Braunon, who
has been outlawed, has been interested in
the horse within the last two months, it
he is not the present owner All evidence
obtained by the judges points to Stafford 8
connection with Bill Brannon. He uay,
however, be the dupe of others. Carrigg
of Council Bluffs, VINO formerly owned
the horse, and " ho testified that Brannon
stole him, evidently gave his testimony
to get even with Brannon, believing that
the latter owned the horse. He evidently
thought he was letting Brannon have
him, when he made the bill of sale to
Stafford. Summaries of to-day's races:

Another distressing suicide. which was

one, took place this morning, when a
man giving his name as James Hodges OF
Philadelphia. who said he was connected
with the Fourth Battalion of Pennsylva-
MIA, jumped from the center of the Bath
Island bridge into the rapids. He had
intimated to n hackman that he con-
templated doing so. The hacknan re-
ported the alleged intentions of the
stranger to an officer who is stationed at
the entrance of the park, and who ar
rested him. Hodges laughed, and stated
that be was joking with the hackman.
He was released, and then walked to the
middle of the bridge, and suddenly, with
out removing any clothing, stepped one
foot on the rail and dived beneath. The
onlookers were powerless to stop him,
and watched him as he was carried along
by the rushing water over the reef be-
tween the bridge and the tails, and then
suddenly the body stopped, and Is lodged
there just above Chaplin Island, in PLAIN

the body will be carried over the falls be-

a Rehearsal of tho Coming Wedding
Taxes Place at New York.
NEW YORK, Nov. THE rehearsal
OF the Vanderbilt Marlborough wedding
took place ;his afternoon at st. Thomas
Protestant Episcopal Church, Fifth ave-
nue.. The bridegroom-elect was not
present. \ great crowd, mostly women,
was gathered around the church, and
when, at 2:30 O'Clock, the Vanderbilt
coach stopped IL front of the edifce IL
was only by the AID Of persuasion, spiced
with threats, that the police cleared Il
path TOR the occupants OF The vehicle.
There were Mrs. w *. Vanderbilt, w.
*. Vanderbilt, Jr., and the luLure
Duchess.
Miss Vanderbilt wore royal purple
velvet gown of walking length, cape Ut
silver iox, trimmed with black Spanish
lace, aud a large blac- felt nat Win
black piumes. Mrs. Vanderbilt had on a
costume OF dark tan material ana small
black toQue.
Willie Vanderbilt arrived first and
handed out his mother and sister. Mrs.
Vanderbilt looked somewhat worried and
tired. Miss Consueio, tall, slender aud
engaging, with q spot OF crimson on
either pale cheek, elected genuine muir
lnur OF admiration from the crowd. The
young woman threw half amused and
entIrely friendly glance at tie critical
thIong OF women, one OF whom SAID aud
IDLY: "Alnt she just sweet?" Mrs. an
der bilt, who was leading the way TO the
door, took no notice OF the remark. But
the daughter flushed, Bit her lips 10 sup-
press laugh, auu hurried into Lie
church. A few minutes later other mem-
bers OF the bridal party began TO arrive.
The first OF these was Miss Katherine
Duer
Then came Mrs. W. jay and her daugh-
ter, Miss Julia Jay. Miss Daisy Post
followed in q coupe. Right behind them
was Miss Ella Bronson, who III turn was
followed by Miss &. Burton and Miss
Marie Winthrop.
After waiting some time for Bishop
LittlejOhn. Mrs. Vanderbilt decided to
have the rehearsal without him. She
gave the signal to Mr.. Warren, and the
organ peated forth the march from
"Lohrengrln." 10 the strains of the
march the bridal procession moved up
the aisle, being led by the ushers, Rich
ard 7. Wilson, Reginald Rouaids. Her
bert ID. Robbins and Hamilton aud
Wilkes Cary. The bridesmaids followed.
They were in the following order: Miss
katherin Duer, Miss Ella Bronson, Miss
May GoeIet, Miss Laura Jay. Miss Daisy
Post, Miss Evelyn Burden, Miss Morton
and Miss Marie Winthrop.
When the procession was halfway up
the aisle Bishop Littlejohn appeared.
Then Mrs. Vanderbilt called the ushers
and the bridesmaids back, and the re-
hearsal was begun again. The second
march up the aisle was successful, Bishop
Littlejohn's guiding voice helping those
in the procession. When the procession
reached the chancel steps the bridesmaids
separated. one standing at either end OF
each of the four steps, while the uahers
were grouped about the foot of the steps.
In resracing their steps tho order OF the
bridal party was just reversed. The Sec
ond trial was repeated, and everything
went smoothly. 1t was after O'Clock
| when the party left the church.
