The chancery suit of Il. P, Monroe
a I'd others against the Y. 8. Leather
Co J., and John w. Carder, referred to
last week, was decided last week, was
de clded by Judge Faulkner, here, on
Thursday last. 1t was submitted to
him BECAUSE Judge DALEY had, some
vears ago been counsel for some Of the
psrties. in q transaction connected
with the same land.
The suit was 10 recover possession OF
the chestnut oak timber on atraet OF
1900 acres on Big, Nathaniel and Pioey
mountains, south of RoInney,
on March 81, 1899, Col. A. Monroe,
who was the owner of the tract, con
viewed to EIzey McEfish and joni b
Robinette. all the workable chestnut
oak timber on said land," with nee
essary rights of way for its manafae-
ture and removal. McElfish and Rob
inette peeled the bark on part of the
tim Der, then sold portion OF the re-
mainder to Fayerweather and .Ladew,
who subsequently, conveyed it to the
u. S. Leather Company and the re-
mainder was conveyed blythe first pur-
ch aser, to John w. Csrder who never
peeled any bark on the timber convey
ed to him, nut the Leather Company
peeled bark from TIME to time.
Last spring a year year age the
Leather Company contracted with
some parties to peel bark on some OF
the timber on the land, whereupoH the
plaintiffs instituted suit, asking that
they be restored to possession Of the
timber, claiming that as TO time was
specified in the deed for the removal
of the timber q reasonable tint was
implied and that inasmuch as reas-
enable time had elapsed the estate OF
the defsnd ants in the same had ter
minated. They also alleged that the
Leather Company had peeled certain
second growth timber, to which 1t was
not entitled and they asked recovery
for the value Of it. The defendants
answered, claiming that they had the
timber In perpetuity, bat admitted
that they had no right to the second
growth timber, denying, however,
that they had taken any such.
Judge Faulkner held that the de.
PENDANTS had forfeited their right to
the timberb by failure to remove it with.
in a reasonable time, restored. posses
sion to the plaiutiffs and referred the
case to Commissioner Zimmerman to
asceriaia how much, II any second
growth timber had been taken from
the land ami the value Of the same.
John J, Cornwsll represented the
plaintiffs and Fl. B. Gilkeson the de-
PENDANTS.
The question, rather remarkable to
say, has never been in the Court of
Appeals of this state or Virginia'-Re-
view.

MADDEN BIG WINNER.
Brooklyn Jockey Club Meeting Ends
Thursday.

NEW YORK. June 1.-THE spring meet
ing Of the Brooklyn Jockey Club ends
Thursday. Only a few more stakes are
to be decided; the principal events were
competed for during the early part of the
meeting The club stewards and the turf
men were congratulating one another yes
terday over this fortunate condition. Sew
eral Of the horse owners. notably John E.
Madden, have won enough money to pay
the running expenses of their stables for
several months.
Madden will go to England this fall
His colts Fayette and Sir Martin, who arc
eligible for the EPSON Derby and the
Grand Prix de Paris of 1902, will he
shipped at The same time. These colts
and several youngsters will constitute the
shows clearly that the sport next year
will be maintained on the high plane OF
previous years. Unless Madden is certain
of this he will ship his entire stable to
England.
Colin is again in excellent condition In
his gailops on the Sheepshead Bay course
he spins over the ground with such free
dom that Marshall. his exercise boy finds
II hard work to restrain him and keep him
to two-thirds speed. He does not show
the least trace OF lameness and joys along
without the slightest falter in his stride.
He has many valuable engagements al
the Sheepshead Bay track. and James
Rowe stated yesterday that he would
trainer TO reserve him exclusively for
year-old stakes and to depend upon
Ballot and Celt for weight-for-age and
handicap events.

SUBURBAN WILL BE
RUN WITH NO BETTING

NEW YORK. June 15-Friday the
Suburban handicap will be decided IL
will be raced under conditions similar to
those which prevailed in 1885, when Pom
tiac won with no public betting.
When the imported son of Perro Gomez
won not a dollar was bet at the track on
the result. The late John Y. McKane
the political boss of Gravesend and Coney
Island, the districts which then control ed
the fortunes of the Gravesend, Sheepshead
Bay and Brighton Beach tracks. had sent
forth his ultimatum-"Give up or shut
up! He had demanded that many OF his
cohorts be assigned positions at the tracks
at big salaries and that certain other
''perquisites' be attended to. The racing
associations believed that his demands
were excessive and refused them This
end police and constables swooped down
on the Sheepshead Bay track in force.
The Suburban handicap of 1856 did not
afford nearly as great an attraction for
racegoers as the race holds out this year.
Faster horses will strive for prize that
exceeds in value more than double the
amount of the early classic event
Nearly ten thousand racegoers, a big
crowd in those days. made the trip i'm
1883 under unfavorable railroad transpor-
tation to see the horses compete for IL.
That the racegoers will turn out In great
er force Friday to witness the struggle
between Ballot. Frank Gall. Running
Water. Fair Play, Master. Robert and
other entrants the stewards of the Coney
Island Jockey Club believe They say that
there are now a million persons In this
state interested in horseracing. and that A
big portion of this number will pay The
track visit just to see the horses race.
