rate of speed. One has therefore to look at him one might at the dead body of a smuggler who stopped a bullet when trying with a pack of contraband goods to steal a march on the castguard. On the whole the smuggler is more worthy of commiseration as he endangers mo- body but himself. Millionaires who go at express speed on a high road really merit outlawry; they imperil the lives of so many other people.
 
 Racing has always been popular among a set, and 1t has always received the pat ronage of society. In the old Jerome Park days, the spring and fall races fitted into the schedule of social diversions just as in December the opera commands at- tention. Never before has it been a con- trolling function. This year the opening | of the fall season at the fashionably | patronized Sheepshead Bay course prac- | tically closed the seasons at Newport and 1 Saratoga The attendance at the track has been little short of a convention of notables. After the close of the meeting the people will scatter to the country seats in the vicinity of the city. People are beginning to appreciate the delights | of living on Long Island more and more as the years roll on. It Is just conven- iently suburban and there are ocean 1 breezes tempered by the passage over | pleasant meadows and downs and gentle | hills. Today the environs of no city in the world can show such an aristocratic colony and one so delightful in every way | as that which exists at Meadowbrook- | and Meadowbrook means the entire stretch of country from Hampstead to | the Sound, from the salt meadows bor- dering on the ocean to the height of liar | bor Hill, crowned with the magnificent 1 mansion of Clarence Mackay. The latter | by the way. will arrive tomorrow or | Tuesday. He will take his place at the head of the cable company. Mrs. Mac | kay has been waiting his arrival at Har- bor Hill. She will go for a short visit to her parents at Bar Harbor before the winter. Mir. and Mrs. Duer intend to remain at Bar Harbor until quite late In the opinion of those who are fond of the Maine resort, the autumn is the pleasantest of all it's seasons. Mrs. Mac kay. Sr., is at a German spa. She will come to New York late in October, when the body of her husband will be brought here for interment in the mausoleum in Greenwood Cemetery
 
 The departure of the Duchess of Marl- borough and MT. and Mrs. Oliver H.

New York. September 13.--A friend of mine writes me from Paris an account Of the automobile accident which cost Char lie Fair and Mrs. Fair their lives. It is so graphic that quote it: 'aThe unfor- tunate pair were going at the rate of six 4y-nine miles an hour when the tire of one of the back wheels burst, and, caus- ing deviation in the course, the vehicle rushed against a tree. Had a carriage or other vehicle been between the motor and the elm 1t must have been dashed to pieces. Furious motor-driving on high roads is proved by the Dollfus and Fair disasters to be criminal. Could Fair have taken too much wine before he started, or too many petits verres? The chauf- feur had been relegated to a back seat to enable the millionaire, with Madame at his side, to drive. With all his might the former, when the tire burst, shouted, r.Slow down" But to quote again the man: Monsieur, who had been going at the fullest speed. seemed off his head. Madame. half turning on the seat, looked at me with such poignant terror that shall never forget her agonized face. Then there was a shock. then a sense of blankness. I fond. on coming to, that had been flung over a double hedge. felt awfully disabled. Still I remembered Monsieur and Madame, and felt l must go and see what had become of them. By dint of painful efforts l got back to the road. On the side of it lay the motor, knocked to pieces, and a few yards from ii Monsieur and Madame under a pile of valises. I went to the heap and saw two corpses, and that of Madame bent in two, her loins broken and skull fractured. The face of Monsieur was a mere pulp with a wide gash. All around blood. It was all fearful I uttered cry and tainted. When I came too a crowd was round me was badly hurt in the small of the back. but some leeches brought down the inflammation"
 The awful end of MT. and Mrs Fair may put an end to motor-driving at ex- press train speed. The motor has led to shocking disregard for human life. Had Fair only had moderate fortune, nobody violent death. But the owner of S1000O.- GOO. and a brother-in-law of W. K. Van derbilt, Jr., Is not to be dealt with by the papers as an ordinary person.
