Gives Up Inherited Honor

Sir Arthur Cowell Stepney was the
only instance of wealthy English
baronet publicly renouncing and adjur-
ing an inherited honor of this kind.
although many other titled Englishmen
have dropped the prefixes to their
names on coming TO America
The divorce suit of Stepney's wife,
which was heard in London in May,
1903, was one of the strangest ever
recorded in the English courts The
charge was desertion.
The marriage took place in 1875.
There were during the first few months
certain eccentricities on the part of the
respondent, TO which Lady Cowell Step
ney did not pay much attention. on
the birth of the daughter in September,
1876, he showed the greatest delight.
October 6, 1876, he left his home and
had never since lived with his wife.

Drops Baronetcy

Cowell Stepney's baronetcy, which
dropped" according to his own ac-
count, on becoming an American citf-
zen, was conferred upon his father in
1871 by the late Queen Victoria His
family was an ancient one, and Sir
Arthur claimed descent on the distaff
side of his house from the Plantagenet
kings, and likewise from the old princes
and chieftains of Wales. AS he had
no son by his English wife, and that
the latter, as well as the English
courts, declined to recognize the d.
vorce which he obtained in America, n.
son that he might have had here viii
be eligible for succession to the bar
onetcy.
Sir Arthur was a man more than go
years old and belonged to two of the
best and most exclusive clubs in Lon
don-the Brooks and the Travellers. He
owned large landed estates, was for
merry attached to the foreign office.
and served as high sheriff and as a
member of parliament for his own
county-Carmarthen He was a fellow
of the Royal geographical society. and
a deputy lieutenant of Carmarthen. He
had made his home in America for
more than a quarter of century.

LAYERS CAPTURE
LONG END OF COIN
Evenly Balanced Fields and an
Occasional Sleeper Keep
Talent Guessing

In the 80 races decided at Emeryville
last week eight were won by favorites,
so the honors were easily with the lay
ers. AS long as the fields continue big
and evenly balanced, with here and
there a sleeper showed in for killing.
the talent is going to have trouble pick
ing winners.
In spite of the variable weather the
attendance continued good, and there
was more or less sensational racing
over a fast track. When Boggs with
124 pounds up was defeated by Black
ford Wednesday it was thought the
seasons champion had reached the end
of his string, but he came back Satur-
day in the Christmas handicap and won
it by a head, Blackford finishing last in
a field of four. The Keene colt now has
seven brackets to his credit, and Will
probably be given rest in preparation
for a summer season on the New 1ork
tracks.
Chester Krum showed himself a re-
markable year old by easily beating
some of the best at the track at six
furlongs Friday, while another hummer
developed in the suddenly improved
Daddy Clip, who ran Raleigh d to a
head at six furlongs in 1i13, and re-
turned Saturday to beat ]. II. Barr five

JAMES R. KffNE'S
STABLE WINNERS
Dean of American Turf Seems
Likely to Carry Off the
HOn0rS i'm 1910
Especial Dispatch TO The Call

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-James r.
Keene looks like the leading winning
owner of 1910. His string of racers
next year will be much greater than
it was last season, for the stable has
been reinforced by some horses from
England, where they raced in 1893
In his barn at the big Sheepshead
bay track are 40 thoroughbreds-aris
tocrats in blood, style, bone and sub
stance.
If fine appearance counts for any
thing and presages speed and endur-
ance in the thoroughbred then the
dean of the American turf again VIII
try to carry off the lions share OF the
trophies of the local racing season.
For FIVE years Keene has been the
banner bearer in the matter of money
won In 1907 his racers were Wen
nigh invincible and won trifie over
100000, the largest amount ever earned
by a single racing stable in turf
season in this country or abroad.
That was the year Colin and Celt
swept away opposition, and Ballot,
Peter Pan and Superman played
important parts in winning many big
events.

SLOW POLO
ON MUDDY FIELD
BurIingamifeS Unable to Keep
Ball Our of Holes N ade by
Ponies HOOfS.

The polo game yesterday on the Ell
Cerrito field was slow on account of
the heavy condition of the field. BY
the time that the fourth period had
ended it was considerably cut. Many
a play that looked as if il was going
TO be good for a score was spoiled by
the bail slipping into some of the hoof
holes so that the player would be un-
able TO hit the ball again until it was
lifted onto the turf.
II was an eight period contest. At
the beginning Of the game il was de-
cided to play seven periods to give the
players a chance to get some practice.
At the end of the seventh period the
score was ) to 5, q score being made
after the bell had been rung.
When the players had ridden off
the field they decided to play another
10 minutes to decide the contest. The
Reds scored another goal and won.
When time was called it was so dark
that the ball could not be seen from the
side lines.
In the fourth period Cyril Tobin re
tired and John Lawson took his place.
and after the first goal in that period
Lawson changed over to the Reds and
Howard went to the Whites.
