Monday, after having been so heavily
backed that the odds were cut from 20
to / at the opening, to 5 to 1 at post
time, while in some few cases bets were
made at odds as good as 80 to /.
On recent racing form Trinity Bell
looked to be q legitimate 20 10 l chance,
but the strength OF the support that the
horse received directed attention to the
Drake entry even before the race. and
when Trinity Bell won with comparative

were OF a nature to stir the racing Of
hcials to action. II was limited broadly
that Trinity Bell had been stimulated
for the race. and though no evidence
that this suspicion Is true has been found
so far, the inquiry by the stewards into
the peculiar running of the horse and
the coincidence OF sudden Improvement

stated that Trinity Bell had surprised
him by showing SO much speed and such
inclination 10 carry 1t. Following out
the line of investigation the stewards
called on layers of odds for the betting
sheets and records of the race which
Trinity Bell won.
No official statement was made by the
stewards. but the fact that an investi-

amount Of gossip about the running of
the horses of the Drake stable, and at
tention was directed TO the recent races
OF both Jocund and Bobsdil. who in the
Drake colors have shown eagerness to
race and great early speed. though In
the hands OF trainers who handled them
before Mr.. Drake bought them, both

required hard riding to get them up
near the front. even in the final stages
OF the races they ran.

Trinity Bell on Monday 1t was devel-
opsd yesterday that the horse was

GALLAUDET TO PLAY
WESTERN MARYLAND
Game Will Take Place Saturday
on Kendall Green.

Gailaudet played her first game Of
football of the season last Saturday
with the strong team of Lafayette Col
lege. The Mutes were badly beaten.
but when the comparative weights of the
teams are considered, Gallaudet's show
ing was good one. The eleven will be
unusually light this year, the average
not exceeding $50 pounds. 1t is ex-
pected, however, to make up for this
lack of ayoirdupois by speed and tact.
Most Of the material used In Satu.-
days game was new. and since then
Captain Phelps has done some SHIFT
ing which should strengthen the team.
The first game on Kendall Green will
take place Saturday, when Western
Maryland College lines up against the
Autes- This game promises to be an
exciting one, as the two teams are about
evenly matched.

The King Commands.

While no one can assume TO speak
with authority of the deliberations at
Balmoral between Edward VII and his
prime minister. Arthur Balfour. yet 1t
is pretty generally known that the de-
lay in the reconstruction of the cabinet
has been due to the Kings insistence
that the administration should be re-
constituted in such a fashion as to en-
Joy his confidence, as well as that Of
the premier and of the leaders of the
Unionist party. This has been made
the subject of much unjust criticism at
the expense Of the sovereign, who is
charged with exceeding his constitu-
tional prerogatives, and of ignoring in
the most fragrant manner the limita-
lions imposed by statute upon the au-
thority of the crown. Those who bring
forward these accusations, whether in
England or abroad. must be woefully

Queen Victoria, on several occasions
during her reign, refused to accede to
the nomination OF ministers who did not
possess her confidence and for whom
she entertained a dislike. II may be
recalled that in one memorable instance
she actually demanded the surrender

wishes in connection with the attitude
of the English government toward Louis

Lord Pa1merston was at the time the
most popular statesman of the day in
England, and enjoyed a stronger hold
on the good will and admiration of his
countrymen than any of his colleagues
in the John Russell cabinet. He was at
the very height OF his power, and his
party possessed an overwhelming ma
jority in the house Of commons. Yet,
notwithstanding this. he was dismissed
by the Queen in the most curt fashion,

joyed her confidence, and Lord John
Russell had no alternative but to find

Ira.
One Mr.. Clemson. the only son-in law
OF John G. Calhoun, to whom had de-
scended the lands and estate Of CAL
houn in the vicinity of the Blue Ridge
Mountains in South Carolina, on his
death left a will In which he gave to
the State of South Carolina all of his
real estate and personal property Tor
the establishment of an agricultural
and mechanical college upon the site OF
the property and upon certain condi-
NILS to be accepted by the State. The
VIA provided that the only descendant
of Calhoun. a granddaughter. should re-
ceive $2o,O0gAsY cash and 800 acres Of
land, providing the will was not con-
tested The will named seven life trus-
tees, one of whom Is Benjamin p. TILL

tested the Will. and considerable oppo-
