children, the youngest but SIX weeks old,
while the second son was helpless invs-
ltd from MS birth, requiring The constant
care OF bis mot her, which vas sitbfuliy
and lovingly given until his death at nine

pecisl care, anticipating her every want,
and surrounding her with every comfort.
His death, coming when she was past her
ninetieth birthday, was a blow from

Elect C. D. Rose to House OF
Commons After Lively
Campaign.

London. Jan. 3.-The bi-eiection at
Newmarket yesterday to fill the vacan-

the death of Harry McCalmont. result
ed in a liberal gain. The polling was
as follows:
c. D. Rose, liberal, 4,414; L. BraSsey.
conservative, 1901
AS the conservatives at the previous
election had a majority of upward of
1000, Mr.. Roses victory is notable. The
contest in the great sporting center was
fought with remarkable vigor. Horse
owners, trainers and jockeys joined
with the politicians in eanvassing the
constituency and motor cars were 50
numerously requisitioned in working
the division that the supply of oil tenn
porarily gave out. During yesterday
polling, no less than fifty motors were
utilized in bringing voters to and from
the polls. Mr.. Rose yesterday, in a
pelting rain, covered over a hundred
miles in his final election tour of the
constituency. Mrs. Rose, in a luXur-
ious motor, also made tour of the
division in another direction.
Mr. Rose was born in Montreal. He
is a son of Sir John Rose, long promi-
nently identified with the English turf
and other sports. In 1885, he ehal-
lenged for the Americas cup with Dis
tant Shore but was compelled by pres
sure on the part of the then Prince Of
Wales, now King Edward and Lord
Dunraven's friends to Withdraw, OWNS

time might have been taken as an en-

regard to the .Dunraven incident" con-
corning the allegations made by Lord
Dunraven as result of the defeat OF
his yacht Valkyrie III, by the De-
fender
In spite of Mr.. Roses popularity, few
expected yesterdays victory. The

zuela played d prominent part in the
