A CoNFEss1oN.-The New York

A CoNFEssIoN.-The New York
Herald yesterday published the COMES
sion of Mrs. Sarah Anne Brown Angel,
Of Rouse's Point, N. Y, who claimed
that she was Jay Gould's widow; that
she had married him in 1858, when he
was II years old and she Is; that he
had deserted her, and that she and
their child, Mary Jane Pierce, were
the real heirs of the Gould millions.
The publication exposes one of the
most gigantic frauds, in connection
with the Angel claim, of the century,
and, as it says, the effort to besmirch
Gould's children with the stain of lille.
gitimacy is more incredible from the
fact that the instrument chosen for the
consummation of the scheme was wo-
man, entirely uneducated, utterly in
capable of realizing what the Gould
millions meant, and, stranger than any
fiction, strictly. rigidly honest. The
scheme to rob the Gould estate and
wreck the millionaire's family was
planned by shrewd woman.

STAR POINTER WoN.-In three
straight heats-time 2:O2, 2:O49, and
2:O4-Star Pointer at Chicago on Sat-
urday evening again, and decisively,
lowered the colors of Joe Patchen.
Fifteen thousand people saw the race
at Washington Park. The spectators
were rewarded by race, one heat of
which was about the most sensational
ever witnessed.
In the first heat of the great match
race, Star Pointer and Joe Patchen
crossed the finish line 30 nearly on
even terms that those most careful in
their observations will never be able TO
satisfy themselves that mistake might
not have been made by the judges in de-
olaring Star Pointer the winner.
Moreover the time was the fastest first
heat in harness ever paced. In the
second heat Star Pointer won with ease.
