ToDAY's RACE MEET
Handicap Events Well Filled-oood
Sport Promised


The race meet at Agricultural park
this afternoon bids fair to eclipse all SIM
liar events Of the last eighteen months.
Frank Lyman. the eastern trainer, as
sisted by Messrs. Chadbourne and
Prinz has carefully looked after the de-
tails. Phil Percival will referee the
races. siti
The field Of riders II . notable one, and
includes many new men. In the amateur
events Cleaver Of Chicago and Squires Of
Oakland will be the stars. as Lacy is not
in winning condition on account of
late sickness, still Casenave may fool
them. Cleaver and Squires were once
neighbors in Chicago, and across the
street lived Julian B!ise. Since that day
all three have become famous. Woods.
from Washington state. and Dodwell.
just from Sidney. New South Wales, are
unknown quantities. The same can be
said Of the De Remer and the Burr
brothers, and this has made the handi-
oapping rather hard guessing.
In the professional events Slater Of
Arizona ought to prove worthy rival
of Whitman and Bell. Hobrook and
Hutton have been given big handicaps
In the two-mile. Vaughn Of San Diego
should win the professional handicap,
while his team mate Palmer is another
possibility

The Divorce Mill

Judge Shaw yesterday granted de-
cree to A. Casner divorcing him from
Lulu Casner, on the ground of desertion.
A short time ago Clara Belle Coombs
obtained a divorce from Sam E. Coombs
and an order was then made that the
husband pay S. per month toward the
support Of the child. He did not do So
and was yesterday in court to show
cause. The defendant is a pensioner,
and gets $14 per month pension money
and having been i'll, he had to sustain
himself and pay off about $40 costs OF
the divorce proceedings. 1t was shown
that he had paid the 500, and that there
was no attempt to avoid payment, and
so the matter went over.

rlaint in divorce against Milton D.

Hastings trial. At least SO far, for now
that the element of sensation has been
developed there is no telling what fur
ther developments may take ploce as the
proceedings advance.
At the time of the preliminary exam
ination there were two women, Mrs.
Martin and Mrs. Hendig, who disap-
peared from the ken of the law officers
and were much sought for. Both Of

these women have bobbed up serenely.
and yesterday they testified on the wit
ness stand on behalf of the prosecu-
tion. The story, as told by Mrs. Martin.
is curious in many of its features. She
had, and indeed has, so she claims, all
account outstanding against DR."
Hastings for medical services, board,
ETC., supplied for over year to a pa
tient of his. She herself was with him
in the capacity of nurse at one time,
and so, although it did not develop di-
rectly, 1t was to be inferred that she
had been on fairly amicable terms with
the defendant.
Two days after the coroner's inquest,
at which Or" Hastings testified, and
must then have had an inkling of what
was about to befall him, Mrs. Martin
alleges that he threw discretion to the
winds in his conversation with her ana
Mrs. Hendig, and acknowledged being
engaged in the business of murder.
That on that very day, he stated, he had
committed seven abortions, and that his
cots were all full and that he was rushed
to death.
Mrs. Martin-and especial mention of
her is made for Mrs. Hendig was mere
ly her echo-is a woman of rather frigid
and severe countenance, but dressed
quite fashionably, and is possessed Of
an equanimity hard to disturb. She
claimed yesterday that payment of that
$1,000 was promised by the attorneys for
the defense, through Major Horace Bell,
whom she retained to carry on negotia-
tions, on condition that she and Mrs.
Hendig should disappear from the
scene. The sang froid with which the
witness stated that she and her boon
companion skipped out to San Diego
and kept her side of the bargain was
very refreshing. In fact, her testimony
throughout was characterized by an ef-
fort to meet the wishes of examining
counsel, and before she got through her
statements reflected upon counsel for
the defense, Major Bell, Attorney APP
pei, and, indeed, in greater or lesser de-
gree upon every one with whom she
conferred regarding her little bill.
But before the. sensational point had
been reached Detective Fowler was
cross-examined by Mr.. Gage. Albei!
he was upon the witness stand for some
time he did not enlarge much upon the
testimony given on the previous day.

When the name of Mrs. Madeline Mar
tin was called all eyes We're bent upon
the lady who walked with seif-pos-

stated that she lived at 521 West Eighth

In a strong breeze the pull, according

1t Is very easy matter to raise the

BIGGEST KITE EVER RAISED.

ing it's position in the strongest wind
more steadily, by reason Of it's great
weight, than does the ordinary sized
kite of the small boy.
I have made the kite and flown it
chiefly for my own amusement. The
question of the usefulness of the great
flyer I leave to men of a more scien-
tific bent of mind than mine. I merely
give the facts and state what / have
found the great kite capable of doing.
If there can be evolved from this any
plan for utilizing the waste force of
the kite in some way that will be of
benefit to other people I am sure
shall be only too pleased to have been
instrumental in doing so.
To begin with the dimensions of the
kite. 1t is 25 feet high and rs feet
wide, and is of the ordinary triangle
pattern. The sticks are made of white
pine, 51ax2 inches and are tapered from
the cross to 112 inches at the ends.
At each corner Of the cross there are
two inch screw eyes. On these screw
eyes are tied the four corners of the
canvas sail, which is made of sail
drilling. The sail is sewed on the bias,
and along the edge of the canvas is
sewed a rope three-eights of an inch
thick, with loops at the corners. These
loops are tied with separate rope in
the screw eyes on the frame, the frame
being bolted at the cross with an eye
bolt, making it easy to take the kite
to pieces, a very necessary thing, by
the way, with a kite as big as house.
The center bands are made of rope
hree-eights of an inch thick, with
heavy harness snaps, which are also
hooked in the eye bolts, in the CROSS
and screw eyes in the corners.
I used, when l made the first trial
of the kite, $500 feet of silver lake sash
cord, but found the strain too great,
and had to procure highest grade of
Manila rope three-eighths of an inch
