RACING AT DETROIT.
Lady Geraldine Captured the Maud III.
Stake After Fight.

Detroit, July 19-The biggest stake of
the trotting season, the Merchants and
Manufacturers, which was trotted at
the Crosse POinte track, was a gamely
fought struggle from the start until the
sixth heat was finished in the gathering
twilight by Lady Geraldine, the winner,
and Annie Burns, the only starters
who remained in the game OF the
prime favorites, Henry S. went lame
after appearing on the track prepare
tory to the first heat. Battle Sign cut
a tendon of his left fore foot during the
second heat and was not started THE
elimination of these fast trotters made
it look like anybody's race. The time
was not propOrtiOnately fast, the track
being somewhat heavy after the rains
Twelve thousand people saw the
events Eight thousand occupied the
seats and aisles of the grand stand;
the others stood in the betting spaces
and filled the lawn and quarter stretch
space. Approximately 100000 is esti-
mated to have gone into the betting
pools
Until Tuesday Lady Geraldine was
owned by Colonel Isaac L. Golf, OF
Providence, r. l. Wednesday it was an
nounced that he had sold her, but the
buyer and the consideration were not
divuIged. The new owner placed the
bay mare in the hands of Ed Geers, the
veteran driver, and Geers drove her TO
the winning, thereby getting both first
and third moneys, amounting TO up
wards of Sc, 900.
In the first heat Geers tried to drive
out of the bunch in the stretch, but
Geraldine broke at the critical point
and Battle Sign finished two lengths
ahead of AxtellO. Lady Geraldine made
a sensational winning of the second
heat, rushing past Axtello, who was
second after Battle Signs accident
Annie Burns got her nose in front for
the first time during the third heat, af-
ter a brush with Red Arthur. Geers
tried another of his Spurts in the
stretch but Geraldine broke just as she
was passing Red Arthur and Burns, and
the latter won the heat. Annie Burns
also captured the fourth heat, closely
however, cut up badly during the fifth
and Geers drove Geraldine In slow, evil
IDENTIFY to prevent a shutting out of
Burns, who narrowly escaped it. The
gray mare broke badly in the stretch
in the last heat and the bay won easily
in slow time. Lady Pipes, the favorite,
won the 2:13 pace, and James R., an
outsider, the 2:20 pace.

A Remarkable Case Comes Up
y in Reno County.
Bearing a Breath OF Stage Coach
and Boom Days.
WILSON'S QUEER TALE.
Declares He is Father of Young
Kingman Girl.
A Mystery Which the Courts
Claim to Have Solved.

Hutchinson, July 19.-The habeas
corpus proceeding brought before Pro-
bate Judge Stuart by Edward Wilson
for the possession of Mabel Ford, the
adopted daughter of Mrs. Barbara Ford
Of Castleton township was settled today
without finishing. the evidence.
1t was a case in which the whole
township took an interest and by Will
sons version there was a story con-
nected with the case strongly tinged
with romance. A point brought into
the case was the establishment of the
parentage of Mabel Ford. Wilson had
lived much of the time with the Ford
family and has manifested much in
terest in the adopted daughter. Some
time ago he was appointed her guardian
by the probate court. Later, trouble
arose over the management of the girl,
now over IA years Of age. Wilson took
the girl to a neighbours and the Fords
took her back home again. Then the
present case was brought, and Wilson,
the first witness yesterday, made some
sensational statements which are not
credited by the F'ords or by the girl
whom they concern.
" By Wilson's story he has had a check
cred career. Driving stage coach in
Kansas, tending bar in Montana, fight
ing Indians as a regular soldier out west,
soldiers home in Washington then back
to Reno county, herding and working
on a farm. And all these years, since
1886, he claims he has kept track of
baby girl which has now grown to al
most a woman. He claims that he car
ried the babe at Is months old with him
when herding horses, that he has help
ed to support her and has bought cloth
ing and dresses and school books All
these years. by his story, he has car
ried a secret locked in his own heart.
That secret was that he is a father and
that Mabel Ford is his daughter. On
the witness stand he told his story of
the girls parentage. Her mother and
himself, he claims, lived together as
man and wife for two years. The
mothers name was Luella Clark, and
Kingman. The child, he says, was given
to a family named Young. Later the
child was adopted by DR.. Ford and his
wife, and was reared in Castelton town
ship.
The Fords deny this story emphatical-
ly and look upon it as pure fiction
They say that there is undoubted proof
of the parentage of Mabel Ford. Their
claim is that she was born at Kingman
in 1886. and that later she was adopted
by a Mr.. and Mrs Youngs, who after
ward gave the child to DR.. Ford and his
wife. This second family was visited
last week and made sworn statements
that when they took the babe, it was
taken from the breast Of it's mother,
Mrs. Young which would seem to estab-
fish it's identity beyond question.
Mabel Young herself has no miSgiv-
ings regarding her parentage. She ac-
cepts fully the proof furnished that she
is the daughter of the Mr.. and Mrs.
Young who left Kingman in 1886, al
though all trace of her parents has
since been lost.

TO SHAKE UP THE GIANTS.
President freedman Tired of the In
different Work.

New York, July 19.-Some of the New
York players are likely to have that
dizzy feeling before a month has passed.
President Freedman is thoroughly dis
satisfied with the work of the nine and
has resolved to make changes until he
can get some men who will play base
ball after modern ideas.
The team certainly could do no worse
than it has been doing if it were COM
posed of amateurs. Some of the mem
bers act as if they do not want to play
ball They may get a chance to exer-
else their bent in that direction to it's
limit
While Davis has not been able to play
he has not been idle. He has Travelled
to many places looking for new talent
He has seen a great many teams and
has watched a great many players Some
of them he believes will do the New
Yorks good At least one or two will
join the team at once, so it is said, and
an effort Will be made to push the New
Yorks into a better position before the
race is ended

McGovern was around town today,

who congratulated him on his victory
was Richard Croker, who occupied an
adjoining box.

while Erne is very badly cut up. HIS

Parker, aged IL and respectively, left
the ferry boat one day recently and
started for their home half mile away.
They had gone but a little way when a
huge bald eagle darted down upon the

and talons- The stroke knocked the boy
down The surprise was so great that
James, the elder boy could do nothing at
first. He looked up and the eagle was
ready to swoop down with it's terrific
force again. A few feet away from him
James saw q wagon spoke and made a
rush for it but the eagle struck him
and knocked him down. He got to his
feet and just as he did so the bird came
at him second time He struck it but
only slightly injured it. Again it came,
but this time was the last. for the boy
with well directed blow laid the proud
bird of freedom in the dust.

MICHAEL AND M'FARLAND.
To Race Twenty Miles at Manhattan
Beach on Saturday.

New York. July 19.-One of the unique
features of the MISUNDERSTANDING and
match of 20 miles behind pace, which
takes place at Manhattan Beach on
Saturday, is that the two principals are
exactly opposite types of the bicycling
racer. Michael, exceedingly short of
stature, Weighing scarcely more than 100
pounds, is extremely muscular, and for
a lad of his height is strong and sturdy.
The Californian on the contrary, is a
long, angular, lOose-jointed fellow,
weighing perhaps $50 pounds and stand
ing over six feet in height
Notwithstanding their great differ
ence physically, the pair are well match
ed, and behind pace travel with as great
ease as if they were part of their
speedy motors. While he has not done
much pace following, Mcfarland is en-
titled to a place in the first rank, for he
is the only American who ever beat
Harry Elkes in a match, a feat he &C
complished at San Francisco more than
a year ago.
Both men are training diligently for
Saturdays struggle.
