Mr.. Bob" Taylor Has Strenuous Day
at Pimlico, Possibly on no race track in the
country was there ever more spectacular eX
hibtion of nerve shown than that given by
Robert N. Taylor in the Pink Coat steeple-
chase at Pimlico yesterday, says the Baltimore
Sun of last Sunday.
He had the mount on Mr.. Raj PARIS Au-
| tumn Leaf. There were three starters in the
race. Autumn Leaf fell over the eighth jump
and though Mr.. Taylor got nasty bump, he
gathered himself up, and before his fallen
horse could regain its feet he had leg over
him. The horse got on his feet just about the
time Mr. Taylor had gotten his feet into the
stirrups. This nerve and agility shown by the
intrepid rider brought forth great applause
from the largest crowd which has been at this
meeting. Mr.. Taylor tried to make his mount
gain the lost ground and was racing to catch
Dion Kerr, who rode Village King. At the
eighteenth Jump Autumn Leaf took bad fall.
Mr.. Taylor landed heavily and was badly
| stunned. His wife, who was in the grand
stand, gave a heartrending shrek when she
| saw her husband lying prone on the turf near
| ly half mileaway. A crowd gathered around
the PROSTATE rider. The horse was caught,
and when the crowd opened up there was Mr..
Taylor again being helped to the back of
| Autumn Leaf.
moments silence ensued, then the crowd
| appreciated what was doing and shout went
up which could have been heard in Arlington.
| The question in the minds of many was docs
be know what he is doing2' He soon gave
evidence of this as he batted Autumn Leaf
over the head when the mare tried to go out of
| the course.
While all this was transpiring Dion Kerr
had finished winner, with Village King. A.
| J. Davis of New Jersey, who had started to
ride Forest Hawk, and had been thrown. was
| lying in the infeld not much hurt, while the
| horse was eating grass about the Jump where
he had spilled his rider.
While Mr.. Taylof's nerve could not land his
mount winner of the race, he won second
place, which carried $3.50 of the purse.
! Referring to the same incident Jack Carroll,
| in the Sunday News, said: 1T was daring
| bit of work, and many thought that Mary
lands crack gentleman jockey was dazed and
really unaware of what he was doing. Such
was not the case. Ovations like that which
| Mr.. Taylor received are seldom heard even at
Pimlico, where the spectators are ever ready
to cheer good ride"
| Caveat to Will Filed-Large Estate
| Involved-Son Against Father.-Simulta-
! neous with the announcement of the engage
ment of Mrs. May Hundley Bowly of Balti-
more TO Mr.. George /. Richardson of Luther
! vile on Monday last, there was filed in the
! Orphans Court here caveat to the will of Mr..
| Richardson's wife, Mary Richardson. The
caveat was filed by Mrs. Richardson s son, Mr..
| George Bowly Richardson. Mrs. Richardson
! left an estate estimated to be worth about
S400 000
The caveat filed by Mr.. ]. Cookman Boyd,
attorney for Mr.. Richardson, recites that Mary
Richardson died August 81, 1908 leaving as
her only son and heir George Bowly Richard
son, and her husband, Mr. George l. Richard
son that after her death her husband offered
| for probate in the Orphans Court of Baltimore
county paper writing purporting to be will,
| in which the entire estate OF Mary Richardson
was left to George l. Richardson One of the
items in the will stated that she left nothing
to her son, Bowly, because she knew he would
! be looked after and protected by her husband.
The caveat alleges that it was not the last
| will and testament of Mrs. Richardson but
that she died intestate; that it was not signed
| by Mary Richardson ; that it was not executed
by her when she was of sound and disposng
mind and capable of executing valid deed or
| contract that the execution was procured by
undue influence exercised and practiced upon
her and constraining her will herein, and that
the execution was further procured by fraud
exercised and practiced upon her.
Owing to the advanced age of George L.
| Richardson who, it is stated, will be 80 years
old in March, 1910 and who is brother of
Rev. DR.. c. Herbert Richardson, the son was
inclined to let matters rest at the time the will
was probated in October, 1908, but since that
time be has learned that it is the intention of
his father to be married and that his father has
already prepared will in which he has left to
his prospective wife one-half of all the estate
of his first wife, as we'll as the home place at
| Lutherville.
1t is contended that the will was prepared at
the dictation of George l. Richardson and that,
although it reoites that Mrs. Richardson was
at the time of its execution in her usual bodily
health, as matter of fact at the time she was
critically i'll, unable to move in bed without
assistance, under the care of trained nurse,
and her mind was enfeebled by disease.
"The Man From Home ."-Since the days
of Shakespeare there have been varying degrees
of plays and players, but it still remains tru-
ism that 1.-The plays the thing" quite ire
spective of actors and scenery. Possibly the
success of the new drama 1.-The Man From
Home,' written by Booth Harrington and
Harry Leon Wilson, in which William Hodge
will be seen at the Auditorium Theatre, Balti-
more, next week is due in no small measure to
the inherent appeal of the play itself, for while
