a pretender who belonged exclusively to
Spain that Frenchmen felt they could
not take 70 him, in spite OF his august
pedigree. Moreover, a special treaty had
provided that France and Spain were
never to be ruled by the same man as
king. This regulation holds good even

HORSEWOMAN'S SKILL
AVERTS BAD INJURY

NEWPORT, r. l.. Sept. 9.-The second
day of the Newport horse show was
marked by an accident to Mrs. Thomas
w Pierce. of Topsfield, Mass, whose
dashing riding in the classes for hunters
and jumpers has been the feature of the
show for several years. Mrs. Pierce
was riding her hunter Bayvedere, when
he took off for his last jump too close
to the wing of the hurdle. She was
swept from her saddle by coming in
contact with the fence, and was saved
from injury only by remarkable exhi-
bitiOn Of skill and grit.
Clinging 10 the horses neck as he
passed over the bars, Mrs. Pierce was
forced TO relax her hold as Bayvedere
crashed heavily TO the ground. With a
desperate effort she seized the reins,
and a great cry went up from the spec
tators as they saw her peril Her dex-
terity with the reins was such that she
gained a safe seat and brought Bayve-
dere to a standstill.
The strain then overcame her Two
grooms carried her TO the paddock, and
physicians were called in. Later she
was able to return to the show.

NEW YORK, Sept. 9.-The trust" and

company. Power played Judas in her
Mary of Magdala" last season. and had
a contract TO play the same role this
season. The ground on which the de
cision is based is that Power was in
no manner the star of the play and
that his services were neither special,
unique, nor extraordinary.
The welfare OF two of the most i'm
portant theatrical organizations OF the
season hinged upon The decision, and
