the cross suit for divorce brought by
Antonio Terry against his wife was To
have been heard today, but was post
poDed until May z. Mr.. Terry is said 10
be Engaged to Miss Sybn Sanderson, the
American prima donna.
Antonio Terry is a Cuban by birth
naturalized in New York, however, and is
said to be worth $5,00O,00 He owns
the fastest trotters in the French capital
and has the reputation of being an eX-
ceptionally good musician. In appearance
he is somewhat attractive.
Before hermarriage Mrs. Terry was Grace
Dalton Seoor, of New York, where she and
her husband are well known. Most of their
married life has been spent abroad, and Of
late years they have resided permanently,
but separately, in Paris.
The interest every one takes in the case
is threefold. First, on account of the
prominence of the TeTys; second, because
Miss Sybn Sanderson, the American singer,
will it / s reLorted, become Mrs. Antonio
Terry at it's close, and, third, for the rea-
son that such brilliant lights have been
engaged to conduct each side of the case.
Maitre Frederic Allaia, the leading Franco
American advocate in Paris, who recently
defended the interests of the beautiful, er-
ratio Princess de Csraman-Chimay in Brus-
sells. is Mrs Terry's attorney. Mr Terry's
defense is conducted by Maitre Waldeck-
Rousseau. a former minister of state and "a
speaker of renowned eloquence
The Terry case was begun in the United
States almost four years ago. Mrs. Terry
applied for temporary alimony, and the
court granted her $4OO a month and the
custody of her daughter, Natica, an only
child.
No sooner was the decision handed down
than Mr.. Terry appealed from it, And
In review, the courtdecided that $500 was
not sufficient, SO 1t granted Mrs. Terry
81 900 a month alimony.
This, naturally, was hardly what Nh
Terry had expected, and, instead OF per
mitung the case to be pleaded on the
merits CT the entire question before a civil
court, he made TO the police charge of
misconduct against his wife. This at
tempt at a more expeditions plan would
have. il successful, resulted in the pro-
nouncing OF divorce against Mrs. Terry.
But she retaliated by lodging similar
case against Mr. Terry, and a timely adj
5ournment was secured.
Antonio Terry is the sugar king of Cuba,
and. as such, is possessed OF great wealth.

more than $50 900 900, and lived the life
OF q provincial prince in Cuba.
Antonio is a sportsman OF the first water,
with his blooded horses and pedigreed
dogs His equipageS are known in every
gay boulevard in Paris.
Tt was his lavish expenditure OF money
that first drew Partisan eyes to him.

mis- entertainments have always been dis
tinguisheG by regal magnificence. Ex-
pense was the least consideration on these
occasions Flowers and music and good
