Trotting at Lexington

Lexington, Ky, October 10.-After two days of delay on account of rain, the meet ing of the Kentucky Trotting Horse Breed ers' association was resumed today. The weather and track were good the attend- ance large and the sport all that could be desired. Every heat of the four races was a genuine contest. In the unfinished 2:0S class Pilot Boy furnished the surprise. Both he and William Penn outfooted the favorite, Rilma, who was heavily backed In the 2:13 pacing class Hal B.. the favor ite, after winning two heats was beaten out by The Bishop, who was unthought of in the betting. There were fifteen starters in the 2:27 class for trotters which went over unfinished after Maggie Lass had won the first heat and Bessie Owens the second
 Nine horses scored on the word in the' Pennsylvania, with Dione at the pole, which she kept until well into the stretch, closely pressed by Eagle Flannigan, who passed her at the distance pole and won quite handly with Bingen second and Dione third.
 In the second heat Eagle F'lannigan led for three-fourths of mile, with Grattan Boy close up. The latter fought it out with Hudson's horse and meat him in an excit- ing finish with Dione third and Bfngen fourth The heat was very close between the four first horses. John Nolan, who had been seventh in the first two heats, shot out in the thrid and won by one length and half drive. In the fourth heat Bingen went away in the lead, followed by Grattan Boy and Eagle Flannigan, this being the order that followed when John Nolan moved up and in a whipping finish won by half a length, Pilatus getting second place from Eagle Flanngan with Bingen fourth. In the fifth and deciding heat, ,Grattan Boy, Eagle Flannigan and Piatus alternated in the lead until the three-quarters pole was reached when John Nolan joined issue with them and in a driving finsih all under the whip, the four horses finished heads apart with John Nolan a winner of the fastest five heats on record.

 Telegrams of Coincidence
 To the many floral offerings sent to the president and members of the family have been added a flood of telegrams and let ters from sympathizing friends in all parts of the world Among the messages re- ceived was a cablegram of condolence to the president and the family from the American peace commissioners in Paris.
 Messages were also received from the United States embassy in London, from the German minister and in fact from nearly all of the American diplomats and representatives abroad. The diplomatic corps at Washington has been particularly generous in its expressions and tokens of sympathy to the president and the afflicted family.N In his brief walks about the city for exercise, as well as about the house people of all classes, working men, busf- ness men and professional men have every where given to the president expressions of deep sympathy and condole the family in. their sad affliction Among the most frequent and most sympathetic callers at the house have been the returned volunteer soldiers of the army sent to Cuba several hundred of whom are here on furlough, Jas Mckinley, the presidents nephew, who is home from war on a ftrlough after having served General Henry as an orderly in Porto Rico, will join the Omaha party tonight.

and women. all anxious to see Mrs. George and hear her plea to the charge against her. As she entered the room, assisted by the constable, she made her way through the crowds and took a seat at the court table. She was clad in plaid skirt of a gray color and gaily-colored shirt waist and jaunty hat trimmed in the seasons style. She looked unconcerned, and seem ingly did not realize the momentous ques- ton to which she was soon to make an- swer to the court.
 All Eyes Were on Her
 The eyes of everybody in the court room were upon her as she gazed about the room. Prosecuting Attorney Pomeren was the first of the counsel to put in an ap- pearanoe, and he spent some time in look ing over the criminal code of laws. In few minutes Mrs. Georges. counsel, At torneys John c. Welty, Mayor James A. Rice and James A. Sterling, entered the room.
 Attorneys Welty and Rice took seats on either side of Mrs. George and Attorney Welty held a brief consultation with her and then asked for the affidavit This was given him by Justice Reigner, and while 1t was being examined Attorney J. J. Gallant, a close IrlenQ ana cOunSel or tHe ueCedoeu, sat beside the prosecutor. After looking over the affidavit very carefully, Mrs. Georges counsel spent some time in look ing over the criminal laws and then Attor- hey Welty said they were ready for the arraignment. He said they desired to waive the reading of the affidavit, and en- ter plea of not guilty to the charge.
 Prisoner Must Answer
 Prosecutor Pomeren said that they had right to waive the reading of the affidavit, but that the prisoner must answer for her self as to her guilt or innocence With this statement by the prosecutor, Justice Reigner asked Mrs. George if she was guilty or not guilty to the charge made against her in the affidavit.
 Mrs. George, while seemingly not disturb ed in the least, but in a very weak and scarcely audible voice answered mot guilty" After the arraignment there was some little controversy between the att torneys as to the time for the preliminary hearing.
 Prosecuting Attorney Pomeren desired to have the time for the preliminary hearing set for Saturday on account of engage ments in the common pleas court every day
