sides owing to the wet and slippery ball,
and yet several brilliant plays were made
on both sides. The boys speak very highly
of their treatment at Colebrook and hope
to 90 again in the near future. Score by

nato's operations and the losses which
their declines represent. 1t, of course,
takes no account of his early ventures
in diamonds and diamond mines,
which, indeed, were mainly conducted
as private enterprises, and II should be
noted that his remarkable success in
this connection was what in all proba-

financial experiments with disastrous
results, and at the same time gave the
public an exaggerated opinion OF his
sagacity. Excluding, also, some minor

The question whether a married
woman living In one state can hold
bank stock in another state was de-
cided in the Affirmative by the Maryland
Court of Appeals in the case OF Kerr,
Receiver, VS.. Uric. The court in rem
dering judgment said: The question
presented is whether a married woman
residing in this state is capable of hold
ing stock in a national bank located
and doing business in the state of
Texas, and, if so, whether she is liable
as such stakeholder under the personal
liability provisions Of section 5,152 OF
the Revised Statutes of the United
States. Whatever difficulty may sur
round this question, arises, we think,
more from the manner in which ii is
presented in this case than from any
other cause, for it can hardly be sup
posed that at this day, when, by the
law of most all the states, a married
woman may contract as a feme sole in
respect to her separate estate, she is
without power to subscribe for or be-
come the transferrer Of the stock Of a
national bank.

err Mile Was Never Timed.

Readyille, Mass, Aug. 30. - star
Pointer, the famous pacing morse,
broke the worlds record for II mile
on his track, pacing an exhiDltlon
mile In 1:J9 IA. The track was IN ex-
cellent condition and Star Pointer
made the record with hardly an effort.
When it was started 1t was not
thought he would do better than 2:o2.
When he passed the quarter-post in so
fiat. however, there was intense ex-
element. The half-mile was turned IN
so 81 and the third quarter in 10.
ON the stretch the horse seemed 10
fairly fly and crossed the tape in the
wonderful time of 1850 IA. He was
paced by a running horse. Star Point
err was driven by McClary.
McClary nodded for the word and
off the PAGER went. The hrst quarter
was at an even 2 minute gate in 30
seconds, and then McClary called on
his PAGER to move the second quarter.
There was a great cheer, for he was
beating two minutes all TO pieces ana
got the half In 80 "a with the second
quarter in 20 34 seconds. The third
quarter was the fastest of the mile.
The distance was covered in 20 IA
seconds, a 1:57 gait. Around the turn
Pointer seemed 10 waver the small
est fraction of q second, but McClary
had him right almost before One could
see il. and then they Strengthened into
the stretch. The great stallion APP
peared 10 freshen in the last few
strides. gathering fresh strength and
courage as he neared the wire, and
finished like n lion in the record-break-
ing time of 1853 Ia. A mighty shout
went up. Men yelled as though pos
sessed. In the grand stand the own
er of the horse had his hand wrung
until it ached. Over the fences jumped
men who knew horse and driver or
who were carried away with the en-
thusiasm of the moment. Hardly had
McClary got the horse 10 q stand-still
before they had him on their shoulders
and he was borne down the stretch TO
the Judges stand, and there. as the
band played Hail TO the Chief" he
was introduced to the throng. A tip OF
the hat and renewed applause for the
horse, owner and trainer rang out. A
fairer mile was never timed. Not a
watch in the stand but what agreed
with the time announced.
