Hundreds of persons in the audience,
Mr.. Weaver says, arose from their
seats at the conclusion of the OBJ
Minor Symphony by Shubert, the
fourth number on the program, broke
past the guards n gathered around
the music shell demanding an encore,
both by handclapping and calls.

HER ROMANO,
AS SOON
. SHATTERED
MRS. GLEN COLLINS SEEKS =
SEPARATION AFTER FIvE
MONTHS OF MARRIED
LIFE.

NEW YORK. Aug. Pin the short
shift OF five months another OF the
international romances for which
American girls are famous has turn
ed out g~rievously. and Mrs. Glen Col
Inns. who was Miss Nathalie Schenck.
niece of Matthew Morgan, and popu-
lar in the Belmont, Gould and Wander
bilt sets, has separated from her Eng
fish husband, Glen Collins, nephew OF
Sir William Collins, official publisher
OF the Church of England and printer
to His Majesty, Edward VII An &C
ton for divorce against Collons will
begin in a few weeks. y
Married last March. the bitter end
of the romance has come in August
Pretty, well-bred. youthful Miss Natha-
lie Schenck went to the altar with
Glen Collins, believing him to be hon
orable, a captain in the aristocratic
crack regiment of Cameron Highland
ers, the possessor of a fortune of
ten thousand pounds a year. In five
months the full reality was forced
upon her. Her husband was disown-
ed by his family, forced to resign from
his regiment, of which he was only
a lieutenant, although he always styl-
ed himself Captain Glen Collins on
hotel registers and on his cards.
Within a few months of starting on
heir honeymoon. the young American
wife was suffering the humiliation of
knowing hat her husband had appeal
ed to Reginald Vanderbilt for a loan
to get him out of a peck of trouble
tri1G to hnrrcu- e10n nln from, a vni,no
Vanderbilt.
He lid not get much money, but he
did get a considerable amount, given
undoubtedly in contempt for the cap
tain but out of sympathy for the
unfortunate American bride.
The whole miserable, sordid flasco
OF a ended four weeks ago at
the Waldorf-Astoria, where Collins
and his wife were staying. Her uncle,
Matthew Morgan, interviewed. Collins
was, packed off to Europe. Mrs. Col
Inns, with her uncle, has also gone to
Europe. III left last Saturday, but
it is with no intention of ever seeing
her husband again. She will not see
him unless he chooses to defend the
divorce case that she will bring
against MN, when they VIII come 1ace
to ace in-court.
Collins, it is understood, with what
ever one he could get together, hur-
ried to Europe after the separation
and went straight to h gaming ia
bles at Monte Carlo. Dissipation has
broker him in nerve and health, he
has taken up his old feverish life and
physical breakdown and death seem
pretty close to him.

The GAME
a THIRD GAME WILL HAVE TO BE
PLAYED TO TEST THE
GREAT QUESTION OF
WHO'S WHO.

The second game between the Fats
and Leans yesterday was a decided
success. 9th financially and artist
cally.
s. Notwithstanding the several humor-
ball standpoint 1t was interesting to
the extreme. While b error column
is large, there was some really clever
playing done. Sweeny Fleming's play
ing at short for the Fats. has been eN-
celled few times on the local field this
season. He made four safeties, as did
Karl Lowe and Jimmie Watson. Nose
H~iginbotham was there in all his g1o-
ry. His clean steal Of third base (thiS
is no joke and lake Walkers siesta
in left in the seventh inning. were fea-
lures of the game.
Jake finally yawned, rubbed his ayes
and managed to get the ball when
Nose was firmly anchored on second
base.
Tom Raymond, the umpire. stopped
one of Davis attempted assists to sec
ond with his balk, and the Lear al
leg that this was only.a part of the ia
voritism shown the Fats. Tom is a
Fat, you know.
1t might be remarked right here
that the Fats won the anne The
score was IL to IS. The Leans took
the lead in the first part of theg game,
but lost it, and the Fats, after that,
managed to hold the e by a small
margin
A big crowd was present and en-
joyed the antics hugely, and the Y. NJ.
C. A. proited very much by the crowd
AS each has won a game. a third
game to test the final supremacy will
likely be played. The Greater Fair
mont band was present, and ~enlivened
the occasion by dispensing some nice
music.

to mind the fact that they were the
first. and are practically still the only
ones to make the bicycle a tangible
big feature by paying fabulously fat
salaries to encourage it's popularity
and dexterity in its use. All the pro-
fessional performing cycling celebri-
ties of the past made their debut and
won popularity in the arena Of this
noted aggregation, to be this season
superseded and surpassed by the new
ard phenomenal leaders in their line.

makes a bike leap across a chasm fifty
feet in width; Diavolo. who loops the
