STAMFORD INN RAID
Bartender and Walters Arrested and Chauffeur Caught Violating Au-
 tOmObile Law.

At 1 o'clock yesterday morning State Policemen R. W. Bridgeman, Rowe Wheeler and W. E. Jackson, as- sisted by Constables Fred Palmer, Chester Donaldson and Fred Evitts, desc ended on the Stratford Inn con- ducted by Dudley J. Stafford, and ar rested the bartender Raymond Me Bride, whom they found in the bar room with evidences of recent sales on the bar, and two walters, who were held as frequenters. All were releas- ed on bonds furnished by MT. Staff ford. In court this morning Judge Charles H. Peck continued the cases until Saturday, Aug. 26. MT. Stafford furnished bonds of s200 for Mcbride and $50 each for the walters.
 When the officers reached the Strat- ford Inn yesterday morning to make a raid an automobile was found out side, which violated the laws of the State concerning motor vehicles. The markers were swinging, the tail light was out and there were other evil dences of irregularity. The driver, Fred Schwartz, was placed under ar rest. It was discovered that he had no drivers license in his own name, but was operating the car for the New Haven Taxicab Company on another mans permit. Schwartz had brought a party of New Haven people to the Inn. Judge Charles H. Peck fined Schwartz s15 and costs, which were paad by the company.

and as the Pilot Jr., tribe was being demanded by fashionable buyers, for let it be known there is fashion III blood lines of race horses just as record d-breaking performances of Maud S, and Jay Eye See, he began to cast about for a little of that ma terial. LearningSth Waterwitch by Pilot, IT,, was the dam of a stallion by Belmont that had been exported the Atlantic and purchase him. With Madden in those days to think was to act, and in short time he was on the ocean: After arriving at Liver pool, he soon located the horse which bore the significant name of Warlock, and bought him for s1O,OO0 As soon as the transaction was closed, he made a trip to Epson, and while there was introduced by John Porter to the Prince of Wales, who ulti- They talked very long and earnestly on the horse question. Madden up- holding the merits of the trotter, while the prince was pleased to hear of the new breed that was descended from the English horse Imp Messenger.
 EDWARD KNEW HORSES.
 After they parted John Porter was very anxious to learn what Madden thought of the future king. Think of him. said Madden, why he is one of the best informed horsemen I have seen in England that did not have his hand out for a tip." In 1909 Madden had occasion to congratulate the King when he won the Derby with Minoru, but there must have been a shade of disappointment when the dispatch was written, as Sir Martin, a horse, that he had bred at Hamburg Place, started favorite for the race and fell at 1attenham corner, when it looked as though he had an even chance of going on to victory.
 SHIFTED TO RUNNERS.
 After being identified with the trot- ters for a few years, John B. Madden cast his lot with the gallopers and the array of winners which he sent out from Hamburg Place has not only made the farm famous, but also es- tablished it's owners reputation as being the shrewdest trainer that has ever been seen on the jockey club tracks. Having a practical knowledge of every detail of the business, from selecting a brood mare and stallion to stripping a champion ready to race, there is nothing that escapes his eye and no detail so small that he does not see personally that 1t is attended to. Added to this, hs has a thor ough knowledge of balance at either the trotting or running gaits and knows how they can be improved by shoeine as was evidenced by the races of Hamburg Belle. In her early ra- ces this mare showed a disposition to brush her knees and as usual in such cases, when not corrected at the be- ginning, she became a confirmed knee knocker. Madden bought her and by careful experimenting found how she could be shod to go clear. From

The Old Horseman on
 Madden, the Wizard
..The Trainer Who Ran Shoestring
 Into 2 Million''-HOw He Made His . Start in Game-Few Interesting
 ExperienceS.

When man runs a shoe string Into a million and keeps 1t, he can De con sidered a success, notwithstanding the adventures and setbacks he may nave met on arriving at competence. Ill the racing world there are very lew of these. as the most of those who in habit it do so for recreation, While the average plunger goes up ike d rocket and comes down like a SUCK; Of those, however, who nave adoPtea racing and subsequently, the breeding of horses as a profession, few II any had so consistent a career as John E. Madden, the owner of Hamburg Place, a magnificent estate of over two thousand acres near Lexington, Kentucky. Starting out in llfe as a sprinter, he soon left the clnder path for the horse market and subsequently drifted to the trotting track. At one time while training for series Of athletic games at Homer, Ontario, he saw a farmer with fne palr or nor ses As soon as he got an opportun- ity he purchased them and shipped them to New York. Before leaving St Catherine's, however, a few of those who were engaged in the bus mess advised him to be on the look out for dealers who made practice of pricing all of the new horses Cn the market that caught their fancy, and then sell them to their own cug- 
 having a dollar in them.
 LOOKING FOR GOLD LINING.
 In due time. Madden arrived In street, New York with his pair, and one of his first callers was the we'll known dealer, Dexter B. Golf. When the horses were led out for inspection, Golf examined them very carefully, and then asked if they had speed or were high actors. On being assured that they did not pos sess either of these qualities, he was surprised to learn that the price was S2,500. He inspected them again, however, as they made a very handsome team, and then opened both of their mouths and looked very ear nestly down the throats of both of them. This prompted Madden to ask Golf what he was looking for. Well" replied the dealer, you say that they cannot trot, and that they are not high actors, still you ask $2,- 800 for them, so I was trying to see if they were lined with gold.''
 START OF STABLE.
 Madden sold the team at a hand some profit, and in a short time he was out with a trotter. This in time grew into a racing stable and a head quarters at Lexington. Kentucky as a dealer of the highest class trotting stock in America. While in this iine the success of certain brood mare families began to attract attention,

that time his blacksmith always shod her, going from Lexington to Wash ington Or from New York to Detroit, in order to do the work. Tn plain English, it cost over $50 every time she required a new set of shoes or even to have them reset, but by fol- lowing out his ideas in regard to it, Hamburg Belle was made a champion race mare and sold for s50,000. The same plan is also followed with all of his other horses and this thorough ness is the keynote of his success.
 SOLD HAMBURG FOR s40,000.
 Madden first met the late Marcus Daly when racing Hamburg. One ev- ening, while cooling him out after a race in the paddock at Sheepshead Bay, a sturdy looking westerner ap- preached him and said, Young man, do you own that horse?" Madden looked at him for moment before replying, and when he did he said, Well, neighbor. that depends as to whether you want to buy or attach him. The rugged miner almost dou- bled up with laughter over the diplo- matic reply and at a later date gave Madden S40,0OO for Hamburg, after he had won s100,000 in stakes.

Williams Bay, Wis. Aug. 14-E. E. Barnard, professor of astronomy at the Yerkes Observatory, announced Saturday that an interesting phenom- enon will take place August 16, when the planets Mars and Saturn will be in conjunction
 ''On that date" said Professor Bar hard, Mars will pass apparently close to Saturn. To the eye they will appear as a bright double star, the distance between the two being only twenty-one minutes of an arc, or about twothirds the apparent width of the moon. Mars will pass north of Saturn. To the left or east and near the planets will be our moon, which will be half full. The sight Of these two planets and the moon will be impressive

Bridgeport Telegram.)


 Senator McNeil was seen by a re- porter yesterday and asked about the boom in his behalf for the office of Lieutenant Governor. MT. McNe1l stated that he had seen the story in the Herald, and also the mistake that Correspondent Howe made in his writeup that he would be only 29 years of age in January, 1913. As a matter of fact, I will be 30 years old then, and, of course, of age to accept the nomination" he said
 Senator McNeil stated that he knew that there had been meeting of the eading Democrats at Hartford, and that he had been picked for the place of Lieutenant Governor and that he fully appreciated the honor that they had conferred in naming him.
 When asked if he favored the boom, the Senator replied that it was just as well not to be overhasty in plung- ing into politics. He thought that for the present all hands could wait a while, as lots of things happen in a year and a half
 Senator McNeil left the impression that he was pleased with the action of the conference, and that if nothing interfered with the plans of the man. agers that he would be a willing run ming mate with Governor Baldwin. It is a we'll known fact that the Bridge port Senator is as close to Governor Baldwin as any man in the General Assembly, and that undoubtedly the Governor would like to have him on the ticket

M'NEIL MENTIONED FOR LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR
 ON DEMOCRATIC TICKET
"A EN Howe in New vorL Herald !

GA. F. Howe in New York Herald.) "A meeting of a dozen prominent l Democrats of the State, including members of the General Assembly, | was held at a Hartford hotel the oth- | CT day for the purpose of arranging tenative program for 1912.
 '1t was the expressed conviction of those assembled that Governor Bald win had been the first Democrat in
 a generation to smash the Republican
 machine. or at least, to split it. Con- seQuent1y no one ventured to suggest
 any other man for Governor than the
 present incumbent, although all were
 entirely in the dark as to whether he would consider a renomination.
 For Lieutenant Governor the only
 name advocated or even mentioned
 was that of State Senator Archibald | McNeil, Jr., of Bridgeport. The con- ferees were a unit that MT. McNeil's
 great personal popularity, reinforced by his conspicuous success in promot- ing and putting through the Senate salutary and reform legislation during the present session, made him the log ical nominee for Lieutenant Governor. In fact, so enthusiastic were they fer
 Senator McNeil that they overlooked the very essential circumstance that the young Park City lawmaker will be but twenty-nine years old on January 1, 1913, whereas the constitution speci-
 hcally provides that no one can serve as Governor or Lieutenant Governor until he has reached the age of thirty years
 Senator McNeil in discussing this
 phase yesterday, said thatRl1e felt very
 grateful for the consideratio he had
 received respecting the Lieutenant
 Governorship, but that he should be impelled to ask his Democratic friends
 to postpone their eXertions in his be- half for two years. The age provis- ion will not, however. prevent his go- ing on the State ticket, and he un- doubtedly can have a place there if he wishes it. At any rate, it is ex ceedingly complimentary to SoAtor McNeiI that his friends and support | CTS are so busy recounting his achieve ments that they forget his youth. He has accomplished more this season than Senators twice his age, and it l is said, although he disclams it, that he is closer to Governor Baldwin than i any other member of the General As | sembly.
 Senator McNeil at least can run for | reelection in his home district and be | as sure of winning as anything is in | politics. He could have had the nom- | ination for Secretary of State last i year, but he refused to entertain the prosopal. Instead he stepped to the telephone and, calling up his fellow townsman, MT. Zalmon Goodsell, ask ed him to run, which he did.

REDINGOTE In A
PARIS WAR ROBE
Handsome Garment Trimmed
With Fur

Paris, Nov. Fashionable tea
drinkings bring out some lovely cos
tunes Worn over a lovely black vel
vet dress yesterday afternoon was a
long redingote of the same velvet, slit
at the side and fastening with steel
buttons. The rivers Of silver lace,
edged with gallon to match were veil
ed with elephant gray mousseline de
sole
This long, slit-up redingote is the
novelty of novelties.
The long, floating ends are open
from the waist and trimmed with fur
or gallon. This garment is so graceful
and elegant that it will he really diff
cult for it to degenerate into vulgar
ity. First of all, requires very costly
material for it's makeup; then it de-
mands in the wearer very much Of
what our grandmothe~s used to call
presence" and, above all, height.
Another very elegant redingote was
also slit up the sides, and did not
reach to much below the knees. The
shoulders were trimmed with two
wide-pointed revers falling in supple
folds. 1t was of the pretty gray which
looks like moleskin, and lined with
delicate yellow japanese satin, en-
broidered in green and revealed with
gray mousseline Under this coat
was worn a robe of supple ivory dam
ask, the very high collar of which was
combined with ruches and insertion
of mole-cOlored velvet A belt of ivory
satin encircles the waist, which was in
it's proper place, AMI the ends were
prettily embroidered % match the lin
ing of the coat and edged with the
mole-colored velvet.
A wide band of the same velvet was
also repeated on the skirt, and 50
placed as to come exactly in line with
the line of the redingote, thus giving
the impression of an entire robe Of
mole velvet.
