sprinter on two continents, while MI.
Carolan's Fusillade is equally great
over a distance Of ground. In addition
to Silver Dick Mr.. Hobart has great
pony named Ora, of which he has a
high opinion.
The proud owners have some foals by
their horses, and ii is in them that in
terest centers just now. There has been
a discussion as to what speed they will
show when they are old enough to go TO
the races, and this discussion has re-
suited in the arrangement Of Futurity
stakes in miniature.

been arranged, the ponies to meet when

NEW YORK, June 22.-Jockey John

mate friend, Trainer Hiram Pierce.
sailed for Europe to-day. Their de-
parture came as a surprise to even
their closest friends. 1t was the prin-
cipal topic Of discussion around Sleeps
head Bay.
Behind Bullman's departure lies a
tale of domestic woe. Bullman left be-
hind him young wife and four charm
ing children, the eldest a sturdy, hand
some four-year-old John ]. Bullman
Jr.. the youngest baby just months
old.
Mrs. Bullman was formerly Miss May
Herbert of San Francisco. Mrs. Bull
man said tonight: Our married life
was fairly happy until last January in
San Francisco. At that time he got
drunk and abused me. He has been
drinking heavily all spring and sum-
mer, and when drunk has abused me
shamefully in every way, often beat
ing me until my face and body would
be bruised and discolored for days.
Mrs. Bullman says that in addition
to the Sheepshead Bay home her hus-
band owns two handsome furnished
residences in San Francisco and two in
Pasadena, Cal, and that the property
is unincumbered.
The Bullmans quarreIed here last
winter and Mrs. Bullman brought suit
for divorce. She alleged her husband
earned $500 a month and she asked
for half this. Bullman was offered
$4,000 for one of the houses in this
city to which his wife alludes.
