manded the Russian forces at

able disclosures that would re-
suit from a formal court mar
tial trial.

THREE FAVORITES
WON At GRAVESEND

Three favorites, a well-played second
choice and two outsiders won at Gravesend
yesterday afternoon.
John Sanford's Kennyetto won the Willow
handicap for two-year-old fillies in a way
to earn for herself high rank among the
best Of her age and sex in training. She
took up 119 pounds, and. after racing stride
for stride with the fashy Fantastic and the
speedy Loring to the turn for home. left
them behind, soundly beaten. and immedi-
ately took up fresh battle with Gold Lady,
which challenged resolutely on the rail.
She would not capitulate. either. In spite
of the fact that she had been in the thick
Of the fight all the way. but responded IN
gamest manner to Radtke's drive and won
on the post by a head.
Gold Lady earned equal honors with the
Clifford Ally. She was slow to settle In
her stride. and was fully five lengths be-
hind the pacemakers rounding the far turn.
Martin saved ground turning for home, and
then, drawing his whip, drove her merci-
game and true under punishment and gain
ed slowly foot by foot but just failed to
get up. Fantastic, the strong favorite. fin
ished third, much to the disgust OF c. w.
Gates and some of the other big plungers'
who had bet on her with the greatest con-
f1dence.
Gold Lady had been played for q killing
by A. L. Aste and bis friends. She was

THE cAsrELLANE DIVORCE SUIT.
Gould Family May Demur to Paying
Counts Debts.

While no move has yet been made by the
counts lawyers at Paris. the attorneys for
the Countess de Castellane evidently antici-
pate an attempt on his part to force delay
in the trial Of the divorce case, which has
been fixed for October II in that city. unless
the creditors attachment case is previously
settled. The count is willing to take every
advantage Of every desire Of the countess
and the Gould family to make sacrifices to
avoid further notoriety and scandal, but 1t
!s said that the price is too high. 1t turns
out that the bills piled up by the count s
creditors are enormous. While the exact
total Is not known. the amount Is authori-
tatively described as fabulous"
In spite Of the prenuptial settlement. the
French law regards the marriage partner
ship as making husband and wife equally
responsible for the household expenses and
debts. The attachment proceedings, how
ever, do not belong to this class. They are
almost entirely for money borrowed from
usurers at ruinous rates. and consequently
they could be legally resisted.
The count has another lever in the dis
position OF the children. who. under the
law, are French citizens. and subject to
military services. He. could enter plea
before the French court that IL the children
were given into the custody Of the mother
they might be taken beyond the jurisdiction
Of France. Such action would doubtless
result in the imposition by the court of re-
strictions embarrassing to the countess in
the future.

Columbus Track.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, September 22.-Before
one of the largest crowds ever gathered at
the Columbus trotting track yesterday
Sweet Marie was successful in not only low
ering her own record Of 20S&. but IN es-
tablishing a new trotting mark for the
course. Her mile In 2.O2 Is a quarter OF
second better than the time Cresceus made
here In 1901, when he became the champion
trotter Of the world. Sweet Marie was
paced by a runner, but there was no wind
shield to help her.
The Able became the champion of all
three-year-old trotting stations when he
easily won the deciding heat of the Ken
lucky Stock Farm Futurity purse in 2.l01s:
His share was $4.00O. He Is full brother OF
The Abbot. and is owned by the Ideal farm
Of East Aurora, N. Y.
Lille R. became 200 class trotter when
she won the first heat of the afternoon, the
one that decided the 2.15 trot. She was the
favorite In the betting.
Capt. Derby, q well-backed second choice
in the Hotel Hartman Consolation race.
won the event in straight heats. and took a
record Of 2.06x In the middle heat.
The fastest pacing mile Of the meeting
was shown in the first heat of the free for
all. when Ecstatic won in ZOE by length

STARTED at Full speed.
Each driver sent his car away at its best
possible speed, and In a few seconds every
car was lost to sight from the grand stand.
Twelve cars started in the race out Of the
fifteen entries. There was no number ID
drawn because Of the superstition attached
to that number. The crowds along the
course at the start were not as large as
expected, but the early corners were there
in goodly numbers, and as the day adj
vanced their number was largely aug
mented.
The course was % II miles, and had to be
gone over ten times.
The arrangements made by the managers
Of the Nassau Hospital appeared more like
preparations for a battle between two
armies than provisions in connection with
q contest of speed and skill. Eight am
balances were sent early this morning to
various danger points along the course.
Sheriff Frederick Gildersleeve had made
equally elaborate preparations to prevent
injury to spectators and to keep the public
from encroaching on the course. More
than 300 deputy sheriffs and fiagmen mad
been stationed along the roads over which
the racers were to speed.
