Origin of robin Adair".

One of Nine. PATHS favorite songs, as
everybody knows, is "Robin Adair;" but
the origin of the song is not so familiar
as the tune. Indeed it may be said of
the song that its origin is "wrop in a
mistry," though writer in morning
contemporary definitely attributes the
authorship to Lady Caroline Keppel, the
daughter of the Earl of Albemarle. The
pretty and romantic story is added that
Lady Caroline wrote the song when her
parents disapproved of Robert Adair, her
lover, whom she subsequently married
Lady Caroline Keppel undoubtedly mar
ried Robert Adair, who was George III. 8
sergeant-surgeon, and their son was Sir
Robert Adair, the friend of Charles James
Fox.

Groves Dictionary of Music" states
however, that cit is difficult to tell who
wrote the words" of robin Adair."
The air, of course, is the old Irish tune of
"Eilleen Aroon," and this fact is in itself
reason against assigning the author
ship of robin Adair" to Lady Caroline
Keppel. The song was brought from
Ireland by Tenducci, the famous Italian
singer, who came to London in 175S, and
who afterward went over to Ireland
bringing the song back with him and
singing it at Ranelagh Gardens. He
sang it in the Irish language. Now,
Lady Caroline Keppel's father, the second
Earl of Albemarle, had died in 1854 and
apart from any other evidence, it is inn
probable that Lady Caroline could have
heard the original Irish song before
Tenducci introduced it from Ireland,
which happened some years after Lord
Albemarle's death-Pall Mall Gazette.

Paris, Jan. 31.-The case of Elliott F.

1905, was sentenced to three months i'm
prisonment, $3.50 fine, and to pay $4,000
damages to the parents of Madeline
Marduel, who was killed by Mr.. Shepards
automobile in August of that year, has
finally been settled The damages were
paid Immediately after the decision, and
subsequently the sentence was reduced
to six weeks Imprisonment.
Since then the carrying out of the SEN
tence has repeatedly been suspended,
pending the efforts made to secure a
pardon for Mr.. Shepard. A fortnight
ago, through a misunderstanding, re-
quest for pardon was presented IN such
a way that it entailed an instant decision,
and, the pardon being refused, the SEN
tence went into execution.
Mr.. Shepard was thereupon arrested,
but was only subjected to tine regime of
an accused person." After remaining
in prison for nine days, the attorneys
agreed to pardon Mr.. Shepard on the
payment of $4,000. The pardon carried
a special exemption from the law under
which foreigners convicted of crime are,
upon their release, conducted to the
frontier and expelled.
1t was Shepard, who, in his racing car,
killed man at the last Vanderbilt Cup
race.
