BELMONT TO RACE
ONLY IN FRANCE
Sam Hildreth Becomes Trainer for
Barron Morris de
Rothschild.

Paris. June $50 delighted is August
Belmont with the French turf that he
has placed a permanent order with his
trainer to call all his horses by French
names Hence we find such names as
"Quelle est Belle" and "Amourerx III"
The former is the filly which carried o5
an enviable prize at historical Chsntilly.
because the jockey on a rival horse
pulled up his steed. thinking that he
had won the race. The newspapers for
got to mention that this was the second
time that the jockey seemed to be suf-
fering the same kind Of mental aberra-
ton.
Mr.. Belmont like Frank J. Gould. has
entered the lists to beat William x.
Vanderbilt 1t was interesting to note
that Belmont and Vanderbilt horses,
running neck and neck the other day
until finally the formers crack ran ahead
Though Mr.. Belmont has been on our
turf only a little over a year, he has
carried of some enviable prizes. It is
almost four years since he brought over
his brood mares and stations, and his
stables now are of a much better quality,
and as large in quantity as those of Will
lam K. Vanderbilt.
At last Sam Hildreth, the American
svainer, has succeeded in getting a license
in France. He has established himself
at Maison lie Lite, and is training for
Barron Morris de Rothschild.
Hildreths difficulty in getting a license
arose from a recent ruling Of the Jockey
Club, to the effect that no license will
in future be given in France to any one
who-has not resided there for three years.
Hildreth has avoided this ruling by be-
coming a private trainer to Baron Morris
de Rothschild, but as such he will not
be allowed to train for anybody else.
Hildreth took possession of the Roths-

WOMAN'S PARDON
CAUSES RELIEF
Action of Car in Case of Miss
Malecka Sets Aside Chance of
International Dispute.

London, June 2s.-The case Of Miss
MaIecka. the Englishwoman who was ar.
rested some months ago at Warsaw fol-
alleged completely with Polish revolu-
tionaries and sentenced to four years
penal servitude in Siberia, has been sat
isfactorily settled, to the pleasure and
relief Of the whole world. Not only
the aroused people Of England. but Rus
slams as well, were overjoyed by the
announcement that the Car had par
doned Miss Malecka.
One Of the last things that this coun-
try wishes to see is friction and quarrel
between England and Russia, and 1t is
thought that the Malecka case, now that
It has come to the conclusion for which
the English people have striven will
leave no seeds of ill-wilI but that the
result OF II will be that the two coun-
tries will understand one another bet
ter.
In the first place a tribute is due to
the very rapid manner in which the Rus
sian judicial and governmental authori-
ties have dealt with the case. Only a
Jay or two elapsed between the arrival
Of Miss MaIecks's petition in st. Peters,
burg and the announcement Of the
Cars pardon. That shows that the Rus
sian government has fully recognized the
Importance of the matter and the JUS
lice Of the English demand. England
may not see eye to eye all that
Is done in the name of Muscovfte Jus
hce, but in this case we see a disposi-
hon and desire to deal promptly and
Justly. That is an encouraging sign, and
we sincerely hope that it may mark the
opening Of more elevated era in Rus
sian justice when one Of the factors
will be removed which tends TO estrange
TWO countries which have so much great
work to do together in the world for
peace and progress
We may be permitted, too. to congratu-
late our foreign ONCE on the firm atti-
tude- which il has taken Up, and Sir
Edward Grey on the promptitude with
which he has acted. That has been un-
doubtedly one Of the most powerful fac
tors in bringing the case to such a swift
settlement
England's thoughts to-day will go out
IN sympathy and rejoicing to Miss
Malecka, who has carried herself all
through her painful and trying ordeal
with that high and unfinching spirit
Wnlch england expects in her daughters.
u we have fought for a great interna-
uonal issue We have also struggled on
oehaH OF noble woman. She shows no
disposition to profit from the fame which
has been thrust upon her. She will, as
we stated on her behalf in our columns
few days ago, return to the art which |
she adores' and slip back into a humble |
niche In the world of works That Is a
high, noble. and the right attitude, |
and all viii be gratihed that Miss Ma
iecka shows 1t so determinedly.

So that he might marry the woman with

cided in the divorce court yesterday.
Mrs. Pears, who was married in 1889
at Northampton. said that after the
firth Of her first child she began drink
ing, although she had previously been
an abstainer. Afterward she entered a
home for inebriates and while there her
husband lived with a girl named Ellen
Nash, wLo had been their servant.

work, and, hearing of her husband at

On the advice of the Rev. George Cod
rington Parr, of South KensingtOn, these
proceedings were brought on moral
grounds Mrs. Pears explained that she
had no desire to marry again, and wish
I'd to divorce her husband in order that
he might marry the other woman.
The president. in announcing his de-
cision, said he would like to have assist
ed Mrs. Pears if it had been in his
power
"A separation Of from seventeen to
twenty years is so long, however," he
continued, that II needs explanation.
Her motive has nothing to do with her
right to decree II she is entitled to it,
but 1t is abundantly clear from the evil
dence Of the clergy man who helped her
why this petition is now filed.
Il have coRse to the conclusion that
she had no disposition to take any pro-
ceedings until after consulting the cler-
gyman mentioned, and therefore her
prayer for a decree cannot be granted"

NINE. MELBA PEEvED.
Diva Don't Like London Because
Seat Price Was Reduced.

London, June 29-Mme. Melba finds
that she gets more fattery and funds
in Australia than in England. She made
a fortune during her last tour OF Aus
traIia, her native land, and is planning
another voyage there.
Although Melbs's name appeared in all
the advance announcements of the Covent
Garden syndicate, she will not sing in
London this season. Her decision not
to sing here is due TO vexation, tinged
with jealousy. Melba is much annoyed
by the fact that the Russian ballet is
regarded as COvsnt Gardens leading at
traction. On the nights the baIlets are
given the price Of stalls is raised from
$ to $50. The stalls were $50 on Melba
nights a few seasons ago, but recently
she sang to S. stalls.
Another grievance that irzs the tenn
peramental songstress is that Mile Lip
owska, a pretty Russian singer, was per-
mitted to take MeIba's role, Mimi, in
La Boheme," at the beginning Of the
season.
