SMALL CROWD AT
GRAND clRCUlT TROTS

READvILLE. Mass. August 28-There
were barely 1000 spectators at the grand
circuit meeting yesterday afternoon. al
though there were some fast events carded.
The reason for the failure of the public to
support the light harness racing here can
be assigned to no other cause than the pro-
hibition of betting. The first event of the
day was the POI pace. and Prince Hal took
all three races easily. The gelding was
handled well. keeping close up to the leader
until the three-quarter post was reached
and then coming home with rush.
LOlara won the first race OF the 2.15 trot
IN hot drive to the wire. with Lady Reso-
lutte second. Lady Resolute led to the far
turn. when LOlara came up strong and
dashed under the wire two-thirds of a
length to the good. In the second race
however, ~Lolara did not respond to the
whip quite SO readily and Lady Resolute
finished well up. In the third race o. II.
w. gave Lady ResOlute a race down the
stretch, but just nosed out. Lucretia drop
ped on the stretch in the third race, but re-
vfved quickly and was led from the track
There were seventeen starters in the 2.13
trot, and great difficulty was experienced in
getting them away without advantage to
some one horse. Kinstress won the first
race, making new record for herself, but
was nosed out by Allie Jay In the second
race and In the third fought it out sue
cessfully on the stretch with Betty Brooks.

BOMB FOR A BANKER.
Three Italians Arrested in Brooklyn
After q Chase,

An attempt was made early yesterday
morning to blow up the banking Office Of

believed to be filled with explosives. It
was turned over to the bureau of combus-
tibles.
Tamburro had received several letters in
the last month threatening his life. They
were signed BLACK Hand but he paid
little attention to them. The writer de.
manded 800 On Saturday he received an
other letter. in which the writer stated that
the time was up and that he would carry
out his threat.
After the discovery of the bomb the de-
tectives saw three men pointing to the
bankers office and making excited gestures.
Two of the men ran when the detectives
approached but the third. who proved to
be Antonio Bomba, attempted to stab De-
tective Meali as he drew near. The detec-
tive arrested him. with the aid of police
man, after a struggle in the gutter. The
two who ran were overtaken and arrested
by Detective Vachris. They are Giacomo
Alongfo and Varbero Carlo. All three were
taken to the Adams street court and re-
manded. The charge against them Is va
grancy.

The Behr-Little match was by far the
most exciting tennis seen on the Casino
courts for many a day. and even fashion
able Newport stayed for the finish. al
when Little ended the contest by smashing
the ball far out Of court.
The chief question with the experts after
the game was whether to applaud Behr' 8
mating plays. In the first set he made APP
parently no effort to win. yet In the second
he played in such dashing style that it
seemed as II another man had come out
into the court.
In the third set Behr again lapsed back

the same steady game in the last set and
secured the lead four games to two. when
he was attacked by a cramp in his thumb.

her daughter Matilda must have known Of
the divorce. when three months after 1t
was granted she became the wife Of Luca,

years younger. Andrews Is several years
