It Is somewhat Interesting In connrc-
ton with Herbert E. SeSley'S bachelor
dinner 20 his brother 10 record the last
time he became conspicuous in the news
papers. Mr. Sccicy had n somewhat ex-
citing experience In the autumn OF 1894
In connection with a race track man

10 the statements made ct that time

The party returned from the race
track 20 Providence. and there the orSu-
mcnt over the money was resumed In
the house ot Miss LSttie Ellis, who had
also been NJ thc races. Finally Detect
I've Parker, VI the Providence police

note for $500 Ia Miss Clifton md hur-
rlei 10 this city TO get money. lie is said
TO have told his father some Of The story,

Point cadet fOr n time, hut the discipline
proved too strict for him. and he ahan-
donCd his Efforts to become soldier.
Then he acquired 4 fondnCsS sor horses,
but as this proved To BE- moro and more
expensive his relatives persuaded him
TO give up this fad and his associations
with racing mcn. In 1929 he made n trip
to EurOp" In order to meet his father.
Some cf his former friends among the
sporting fraternity learned his Intcn-
tluns and took passage on the same
steamship. MIR. Seclcy had considerable
money with him. md hla cNcltcmcnts of
netting on tho way to his destination
