No Race.

New York. Oct. 1O.-Again, for the
fourth time, the first race in the series
of international contests between
Columbia and Shamrock has been
postponed. Today, as on the other
three occasions. tickle weather was re-
sponsible. At 11:29 o'clock the code
letter "R" was hoisted on the commit.
tee boat and one gun was fired indicat'
ing that the race had been officially
postponed. The feet of excursion
boats that had gathered, about the
starting point at once put about and
started for home. From an early morn.
ing hour the indications were that
there would be no race. A heavy fog
hung over the harbor and sea. For q
time the wind blew at six mile gait,
but it soon died out almost altogether.
The captains of he Shamrock and
Colum bia, fooled three successive times
by such weather, decided to take no
chances today and they did not even
sail their sloops to the starting line. 1t
was considered pretty certain this
morning that there would be another
huke and as result the txcursion
feet carried comparatively few passen
gers. The next attempt to sail the
race will be made on Thursday after
which day there will be races each day
until the series is completed.

BErrINA GIRARD's DIVORCE CASE

BETrINA GIRARD's DIVORCE CASE
At a special term of the Supreme Court
held in White Plains in New York on
Saturday, Justice Marean presiding,
counsel for Bettina Girard, the actress,
applied to have the decree of divorce
granted to her third husband, the late
Oscar Girard, set aside. Mrs. Girard
states that no papers were served upon
her in the proceedings, and that the
first intimstion she had was after the
decree had been granted by default. In
1897 Oscar Girard took a theatrical
company to Australia and died in that
country on July &c, 1898. He is said
to have left second wife in New Jer-
sey and to have taken third
partner with him to Australia.
Bettina Girard, who is the daughter
of General Ordway, of Washington,
says that her home is at $40 Grand
street, Brooklyn, where she lives with
her 9-year-old son, Oscar F. Girard.
She believes that her husband left
some property interests in this country
when he died, and she now seeks to
recover them for the child's benefit.
Girard carried an insurance policy for
$4,000 at one time, but it is not known
whether or not it was in force at his
death. Justice Marean appointed
Henry Barrett, of Bedford, guardian
for the boy, and adjourned the case
for two weeks.
