Of his seventy-four years, is wonderfully we'll pre-

the late Prince ConsOrt, by reason Of his perfect
breeding. lofty principles and extensive culture, to
be the principal companion Of King Edward when
the latter was pursuing his studies at the White
Lodge in Richmond Park, and elsewhere. In fact.
Lord Mount Edgcumbe was the closest friend OF
King Edwards youth, and he undoubtedly exercised
an important influence in shaping the character OF
his sovereign. With Queen Victoria he natu-
rally a great favorite and served her in turn as
aide-de-camp, as Lord Chamberlain ana as Lord

UNION LOSES ITS CASE.
Justice Dismisses Suit to Recover
Money Lost at Track.

Justice Amend yesterday afternoon dismissed
the suit brought against the Westchester Racing
Association by the Housesmiths and Bridgemen's
Union, Local No. 90 to recover 81 es5 Of its money
which its former treasurer. F. p Rasmussen, ad-
mitted on the stand he had lost at Morris Park in
the summer OF 1904. The justice said there was
not the slightest evidence to justify the jury in
finding that the Westchester Racing Association
as suoh had received any part Of any money
wagered and lost. either directly or indirectly.
The dismissal Of the suit caused great rejoicing
among the sporting element OF the city and was
considered an important precedent.
When the case was resumed Sol Lichtenstein.
the bookmaker. was put on the stand. He gave an
account of the "bOOkie. his relations the race
course and the bettOrs.
When the testimony all taken Mr.. Nicon. for
the racing association. said that there had been no
evidence to show that the association had made
any bets and moved for dismissal. Mr. Perdue for
the union, asserted that the connection OF the as
sociation with the betting ring had been established
Justice Amend. in dismissing the case. said:
Under the revised statutes you have failed en-
tirely TO show that the defendant is q winner OF
the Wasers made or the person to whom the money
won was paid. You have not shown that he was
the holder OF the wager and nothing has been
brought out TO show that the defendant was inter-
ested in the betting. directly Indirectly. There IS
nothing for me to do but grant the motion to dis
miss
In recording his exception 70 the decision Mr.
Perdue said: ''It seems to me that we have shown
clearly that the racing association is co-conspira-
tor with the hookmakers In conducting gambling
place"
That may be q good argument to present to the
law
The union may appeal the case.
