years old and Mrs. Msrchetti brought the
case before the court today on two mo-
tions.
One sought weekly allowance and in
creased counsel fees and the other the
custody OF her child.
There had been previous TO today much
time given by different Justices of the
appellate court but during these pro-
ceedings Mrs. .aarchett was I'm Scotland.

The work of preparation was therefore
conducted with more than usual care.
Every foot of running rigging was over
hauled, every light sail was carefully
rolled and tied in stops, ready for quick
setting and quicker breaking out so that
by the time all hands were piped TO
breakfast each yacht was i'm as perfect
shape for the days contest as IL was pos
sible TO make her.
AS usual the Columbia stayed at her
moorings in Glen Cove, about three miles
away, ready TO run over 10 Oyster Bay
just before the start. The Constitution
however, remained near the club house
sails were hoisted in stops. AT this time
the wind was blowing about four knots
an hour from the southwest, but gave
some promise of increasing before the
day was over.
That the race would be witnessed by
more than an ordinary crowd of pleasure
craft was apparent early. The bay this
morning was crowded with large yachts.
Shortly before o'clock a good smart
shower swept over the bay, but half an
hour later IL was clear again, and the
wind was still holding from the south
west
The Constitution was measured yester-
day by Mr.. Hyslop OF the New York
Yacht club. He did not take her water
line length but measured her sail area
and this morning announced as the result
of his calculation that her racing length
had been reduced by ive one hundredths
of an inch. making her at present 10414.
This reduces her allowance to the Column

The king and the new cabinet both
concluded that 1t is absolutely necessary

and majority of the Rigsdag favors the
sale as does also the public.
The only dissatisfaction. the corre-
spondents informant says, arises in con-

considered too small. However, the final

assured, and 1t is expected that legisla-

Who Shot the Horse a.?

And who owned the horse: is the
topic of the week here. Some want
to know badly. and some don't want
anv more to know, as only three or
four know and some five hundred
want to know. The majority ought
to rule, but it is doubtfulabout their
doing it. The case is this: AT the
death of Wallace L. Markham last
spring sorrel horse was on the
farm. This horse was claimed to
be hers by Wallace's sister, Mrs.
Beckwith, of Ludlow. Homer Pecor
of Woodstock also claimed it by
virtue of Il chattel mortgage from
Wallace. 1. J. White, who mar
ried Wallace's sister, took the horse
to his farm and turned it out and
used it more or less. About two
weeks ago the horse suddenly APP

that Mr.. Major uses the best materials

do not use them. because they are too cX-
pclisve and do not allow large profits. Mr..
Major tells us hat one of the elements OF
his cement costs - 10 pound, and an
other costs S2G5 II gallon. while large
share of the so-called dement's aud liquid
