1--WE will sing this tune and bring the end
of this singing school to close" The
season of 1897 at Lake Sunapee is at its
hight and the end will be soon. Last Sat-
urday about 1000 people were on the
steamers of the lake, of whom some 800
passed up on the last trip of the boats in
the afternoon. 1t is thought that not as
many people have been here this season as
r. former years. At Bay Point half of the
cottages are unoccupied and have been for
a week, but this does not hold true Of the
whole lake. Every cottage at Brightwood
is occupied yet, and at Georges Mills the
summer people are probably more numer-
Gus than before. However it may be at
this resort, as whole, reports from those
who have been to the mountains and
beaches agree that the numbers there are
less than in former years. Railroad men
also say that summer travel is less and
attribute it to the hard times and an un-
usually cool and wet season.
The steamers of the lake gave two even

Winter, the actress, has renewed her suit
here against Richard Mansfield to col
1ect 81 800 alleged to be due under a con-
tract for the theatrical season for 1s95-96.
In a similar suit brought more than a
year ago she obtained verdict, which
was set aside in the higher courts on a
technicality.
At the trial of the former suit Mr..
Mansfield in his testimony accused the
actress of extreme impudence. He as
serted that on several occasions she in
sisted upon sitting down while address
ing him, Notwithstanding that all MEM
bers of his company were required to
stand under such circumstances.

Winter alleges that on March 3O 1895, she

FOURTEEN WOMEN POSED.
Study of August Lindstrom for His
Figure Named sLight, More
IiCht -

New York, Sept. PA statue of a full
nude figure has been recently modelled by
August Lindstrom, New York sculptor,
which represents the ideal American
form.
Fourteen different models were used. A
copy of the statue in marble will be ex-
hibited at the annual exhibition of the
American National Sculptors' society.
The figure is named Light, More
Light The expression of the face and
posing are intended to express an indef1n-
ite longing and ambition.
1t represents a woman of the nineteenth
century reaching out, with closed eyes,
after new knowledge and power. The
pose is gentle and womanly, without any
suggestion of overconfidence.
The figure is supposed to be American
literally from head to heel. The general
outline of the form was taken from Miss
Harris, professional model who posed
for nearly one hundred hours. The head
is also taken for the most part from this
model.
A number of other models were used
before the proportions of the statue were
finally decided upon. After the frame
work had been built up Miss Sage, an
other professional was engaged to pose
for the hands and feet.
When these details were completed Miss
Davis posed for the lower limbs, and as
soon as this part of the work was COM
pleted her usefulness was also at an
end.
The next step was to model the hips.
which were copied from a model who
makes speciality of posing for this de-
tail. Miss Helen Longstreet was then
engaged for the back. The bust was
posed for by Miss Sage, who also supplied
the feet and hands for the figure.

day. Pointer won the first heat in
2:03sl, breaking the state record. The
big bay acted badly in the second and
third heats and Patchen got the $4,000
purse.
Patchen got the pole in the first heat.
There were several false starts; they
had gone but few yards when Patch
en- broke and did not get down to busi-
ness again until he reached the three
eights pole, after which he gained on
Pointer, but the latter passed under the
wire a winner by two and a half
lengths. Time by quarters: 31A,
1:03H, 1:3415, 2:03A.
In the second heat Star Pointer had
the pole. Just the quarter was
reached he began to break and made a
very poor showing the rest of the dis
tance, Patchen leading him at the fin
ish by several lengths with ease. Time
by quarters: 81 LIS, 1903 3-5, 1:37, 2:1115.
Third heat, Star Pointer again on the
pole proved to be an easy thing for
Patchen. The starter had barely said
the word '.go' when Pointer commence
ed to break, and the heat was won by
Patchen without any exertion in 2:0715.
Time by quarters: BIZ, 1903, 1856, 2:0712.

CONSUELO'S HEIR.
Is Pronounced Vigorous and Has
Vanderbilt Features.

London, Sept. 23.-Honors are pouring
in upon the little son of the Duchess of
Marlborough. When two days old, the
queen wired from BalmoraI direct to
the Duke of Marlborough, at Spencer
House, No. 81 st. James Place:
My warmest congratulations upon
the birth of an heir.
VICTORIA"
egram of this kind in the first person
is very unusual occurrence and an
honor accorded only persons of the
highest rank in the peerage.
Her majesty subsequently, through
her secretary, asked to be informed as
to the health of the duchess and in
fant.
In answer the duke replied the duch-
ess was doing we'll and that the little
Marquis of Blandford was strong
healthy and hardy.
This message had been sent when a
second telegram was received from
the Prince of Wales in Copenhagen. The
prince sent congratulations, his mes
sage being among the first to arrive
He also telegraphed to the Duke of
godfather to the boy when christened.
The christening is to take place in the
family chapel at Woodstock.
Today at Spencer House the import
ant subject of name for the infant
was discussed among the new members
of the Spencer-Churchill family who are
in town.
Mrs Oliver Belmont also made sug-
gestions. John, Richard, Charles, Ed
ward-a1 Churchill names-were dis
cussed.
1t is also thought possible that one
of the Vanderbilt christian names will
be given, while Albert will be inserted
in honor of the Prince of Wales, the
godfather. The prince will make a
handsome present to the mother of the
child at the christening. DR.. Clement
Godson was in attendance at the Spen-
Ger house this morning.
The duke received visits from a few
intimate friends with congratulations.
More than 400 telegrams of congratula-
ton have been received at Spencer
House since the heir was born. All
great houses in the aristocracy are rep
resented. One telegram came from the
County Council of Oxfordshire and an
other from the tenants of the Blenheim
estates.
The Marquis of Brandford has already
been closely scrutinized for family re-
sem alliances. He is said to show marked
Vanderbilt features. Today he was
bundled in warm, delicate garments,
which had been made during the past
month in anticipa ton of his arrival, and,
attended by several nurses, the old
family servants of the Churchills troup-
ed in a body to look at the heir, and all
are loud in their praises of his strength
and Vigor.

SALVATION ARMY AUCTION,
Harvest Festival" at Which Melons
and Goats Are Sod, Begins.

Chicago, Sept. 23.-The three days
annual harvest festival of the Salvation
Army began at thes Princess rink last
night, but that doesn't begin to express
what happened.
A typical yankee made his appearance
and began buying as if to start a first
class grocery store.
The chickens in the rear woke up
and the rest of the live stock looked
sad.
When the auctioneer announced that
next would come the goat, the prize of
the evening, a chorus of 'sbaas' which
drowned his voice, went up from the
audience, in the midst of which the
sheep was brought forward, looking
mildly surprised and somewhat indig-
nant.
The auctioneer fondled the animal,
some one cried, 1.-TWO of a kind" and it
was knocked down to the solemn yam
lxee for So so.

Court Decides She Has No Right to

New York, Sept. 23.-Justice Russell

for transgression of the injunction in
the decree of divorce granted to her for
mer husband, prohibitive of her use of
the name.
Justice Russell imposed only the pun
ishment of a fine of $50 upon the ground
that the defendant acted by advice of
counsel, with some show of plausibility
for her reasons of belief in her right to
use the name.

a fortune faster than any other adven-

He left here in May and reached Circle

third interest in claim No. So on Bonanza
creek and owns outright a very rich
claim on Dominion creek, while he also
has other interests. His claim on Bo-
nanza creek has been sold, and while
Haywood refuses TO state the price it is
understood that he got $50, 900 for his in
terest- He left last Tuesday for New
York to close the deal. He intends to
return to the Klondike in the spring.
He fully corroborates the story regard
