sum of $1,000.

Mrs. Callahan enumerates an additional
number of cruelties on the part of her
husband. She relates several incidents of
assaults and threats 10 kill her and tells
about him writing letters to her sisters
and brothers-in-law false and malcously
accusing her of unchastty and falsely
charging her with having visited houses
of i'll repute and designation houses. In

violence and in another he threatened to

Commenting upon young Reiff, the
London Illustrated Sporting and ORA
matte News compliments the youthful
jockey as follows: j. Reiff is one of
the smallest jockeys we have ever seen,
and can get up under S4 pounds. In
fact, he ouly weighs some 56 pounds
odd, and it is a fact that he is not big
enough to unsaddle his own horse.
There was a terrible lot of dead weight
under his saddle when he won the New
Biennial stakes. at Ascot, on Betty
field, carrying 101 pounds, and he was
quite unable to carry it all into the
weighing room after unsaddling. He
adopts Sloan's style of riding to GER
tain extent, and it takes some looking
to see him at all as the horse he is
riding comes up the course: but he
rides a good race, and, in spite of his
bodily weight, is much stronger than he
appears to be. His services are al
ready in considerable request, and are
likely to be more so if he continues to
ride in this country. Moreover, he is
a quiet we'll behaved lad, who is both
popular among his fellow hOrsemen
and respected by his employers
