coching Corinthian.
Walter Winans, the very wealthy Anglo
American. who became disgruntled last
year Just after missing many blue ribbons
captured by Judge Moore, and who threat
ened to, withdraw from. the show, has
decided to make as many entries this year
as last, and has engaged the same stable
room usually reserved for him.
Other Americans who viii be on hand

AMERICANS ENGAGE

Judge Norris and Charles Joyeelyn
Amuse Parisians by Their
Contrasting Attire.

Paris, June l.-'Beaubrummelling at
the Hotel Majestic, Is the name Paris
wags have given TO a most interesting
costume contest now in full swing be-
tween Judge Norris. Of Baltimore. and
Charles Joycehrn. OF San Francisco. The
judge has won q Partisan reputation as
q censor Of public ethics. and his spe-
cialty II to see that. externally. Rt all
events. the morals and manners at the
big hotels be conserved. Joycelyn il the
author OF q book called The Real Ma
poleon."
In the costume contest. which is at
tracing so much local attention, the
judge represents the effete and elite East.
while Joycelyn stands for the wild and
woOIly West. None IS better qualified
for the latter role than Joycelyn, who
is a near ''Forty-niRer" having settled
in San Francisco in 1SS2. Judge Norris
is a great apostle OF the high cost OF
living. He deprecates extravagance.
especially in women's clothes. He aims
at demonstrating in his own attire that
elegance is consistent with simplicity.
The climax came when the Judge ap-
peared in a brilliant red tie. which made
the corridors OF the hotel look like sun
set OF the Normandy coast in July. A
friend gave Joycelyn a tip about Norris
red tie. and the former came downstairs
in a tie as blue as Lapis LAzulL The
combatants looked at each other. and
found the combination Of colors so in
tense that they were compelled TO take
up positions in different parts Of the
hotel.

Contrast" while Joycelyn's is ''Har-
mony" Mr.. Joycelyn says: Judge
Norris, being a lawyer, represents the
dIssensions OF people, and necessarily
runs TO discord even in dress"
The contest Is taking place on historic
ground. for the hotel stands on the site
Of the former Palais de CASTLE, where
the late Queen Isabella OF Spain held
high Jinks for nearly forty years.

London, June L The international
Horse Show, which opens at Olympia In
June, will witness some changes in the
lineup Of the American exhibitors. who
have usually had everything their own
way, except the jumping competitions
and minor events.
In the first place, Alfred Gwynne Van
derbIlt is not conceded to have chance
in the coaching Marathon this year,
chiefly on account OF the fact that his
famous four Of grays. which have drawn
his coach Venture to 50 many victories.
are no longer it for hard contests. His
loss last year to Judge William II.
Moore was attributed to this cause.
Unable to Purchase Grays.
Mr.. Vanderbilt has, been making de-
termined effort to build up his stables
again, and has given unlimited commits
sions to his agents here and in the
United States TO md him coaching
horses. His stable Of show horses has
been in a bad way for several seasons,
owing to his interest In coaching, so
last year, while he took space for stab
ling his usual large number OF horses at
Olympia, he did not dare to show but
very few in the ring on account Of lack
Of condition.
Mr. Vanderbilt has insisted upon one
condition in giving orders to his agents
for coaching horses. They must be
grays, and grays, up TO date, have not
been procurable at any price.
As in past years, Mr.. Vanderbilt will
act as judge Of costers, the East End
cart merchants and their donkeys. which
is one OF the most amusing features Of
the show. For the first time, his brother.
Reginald c. Vanderbilt, Is on the list of
Judges He. will represent the IJnited
States in Judging harness horses and
pOnies.
Draper New Exhibitor. \
A new American exhibitor is J. Sumner
Draper, who will have entries IN the har-
ness classes. Judge William H. Moore,
as usual. will be the most dangerous com
petitor to everybody. Forty horses OF his
string are now en- route from America He

PRINCES DEATH DUE
TO OWN INVENTION

Vienna, June lit now transpires that
the terrible accident which caused the
death OF Prince George William OF Cum
berland is attributable to an invention
which he designed himself and had fitted
to an automobile.
The Prince, who was passionately fond
Of motoring, recently suffered a serious
illness, which left his foot stih, prevent
ing him from using the foot controls
readily. And for this reason he had de-
signed a special mechanism, which al
lowed him to work the motor by exert
ing the muscles of his leg, his foot being
bound fast to the control. When the
shock came he was held IN the car by
the strap on his foot and was crushed
when the machine turned over. Had his
leg been free he would probably have
been hurled out of the automobile with
no more injury than a severe brulsinE.
