Grand Circuit

Only Two Trots Contested, Miss
Rejected and Lindsey
Being Victors.

Columbus, Ohio, Aug. 1s.-With-
drawals took away half the scheduled
events Of to-day's Grand Circuit racing
card, and the programme was limited
TO the 2:1s pace, won by Miss Rejected
in straight heats, and the 2:15 trot, that
Lindsey won In fve-heat contest with
Baby Doll.
Charles Valentine was the driver Of
both original favorites, and at no time
was Miss Rejected In danger, though
she made slight breaks In every mile:
Lindsey, the winner Of the second
event, was the second choice and the
only victor of the week for the Melon
aid stable. For the fifth heat the
judges unseated Driver Durfee and put
Baby Doll in charge of Valentine. She
made the pace for more than half the
distance, but tired early in the tnal

Griffin Goes to Pieces.

The fourth set began only after a
ten minute wait while Kumagae and
half dozen others went down on hands
and knees to look for one of the screws
from his eyeglasses. 1t was finally
found and the match continued.
Griffin went to pieces in the last two
sets, with the Japanese running about
his court as tirelessly as at the begin
ming. AS the Californian tried to gain
a position at the net Kumagae passed
him cleverly with speedy drives
straight for the lines. He played with
such strength that he took the sets at
6-1, 6-1, and the match.
The doubles were brought into the

Kumagae Begins Service.

Kumagae and Griffin settled their
differences on the championship court,
with the seats on both sides of the
playing surface we'll filled. The jap
anese began the service, but Griffin,
playing we'll back in his court, took the
game on his opponents errors. Quick
~ the Californian ran into an over
whelming lead. Kumagae found that
Griffin was outplaying him from back
court because the American was more
accurate on his driving and placement
shets.
In the second set the Japanese began
to curb the wild fight of his peculiar
loop drive, and the ball began to find
the base line with remarkable regular
ity. His strongly topped strokes en-
a5lcd Kumagae to get lot OF pace, and
Griffin had trouble in retrieving the
Oriental's deep drives.
The complexion of the battle took
on a change after Kumagae won the
second set, at 6-3, but when Griffin
Ictaliaied. winning the third at GO
with frequent sallies to the net, the
crowd thought the japanese was wilt
ing under the sitting sun and that the
native son was fated to win.

But neither man for an instant for
got that he was on the court TO win,
and the struggle grew in intensity
They alternated on the next two games,
but then the Californian came with a
rush that nothing Throckmorton could
do could stop. and the last four games
went to the champion, who was out
guessing his opponent and finishing oil
his points with brilliantly sharp vol
leys from forecourt, having opened the
way by powerful drives TO the base line.
Throckmorton had been setting ter
rife pace throughout, but there was no
let-up in the way he began the last
set, with Johnston serving, and he won
the opening game after long fight
for the points. His lead was short,
however, for the champion drove with
such fine direction and speed as TO
draw his younger opponent far out OF
Tcsition and leave the way clear for q
sherp-angled volleying shot to the cor
ners. The third and fourth games were
Johnston's, Throckmorton winning the
fifth, Johnston the next, and then the
schoolboy made his final bid by taking
the seventh, aided by two double faults
by the coast player.

gone change, and Throckmorton was
not able 20 break through with the
astonishing ease he had shown earlier
in the struggle. After deuce had been
called in both the second and third
games of the third set Throckmorton
won them, aided by two double faults
on the part of the Californian.
Both were working at unusual speed.
and at times the ball flashed back and
forth over the net so swiftly in the
rallies that the eye could hardly fol-
low. In spite of the fierce determine
ton with which the opposing players
struggled, there was always an under
current Of good feeling.

M. HENRI QUITS DRINKING.

Eighty years ago Madame Henri had
no idea that her fame would extend
from the village of Brittany in which
she lived to all corners Of France, or
that her name would ever be spoken
in whispers by nations story-tellers.
She fully expected TO lead quiet and
useful life, and in the end be buried
with her forbears in the churchyard.
She was a quiet, practical woman, a
fine housekeeper apd an excellent man
ager, and everybody respected her.
When she was married most of the
girls of the village envied her and per-
haps few hated her; for divers dam
sells had made strenuous efforts to
capture the young man who became
her husband. M.'Henri was extremely
handsome, and had a hundred charms
and graces. He was the best singer in
the countryside, he was full of witty
stories, and the way he could dance
was caution. Everybody admired the
young man. Well, IL Is true that the
old cure shook his head now and then,
when Henri was mentioned. The young
man was too fiighty, said that reverend
man. But the cure was hopeful when
he heard the name of Henri's bride.
This girl came of thrifty family,
and she abhorred waste, without being
avaricious. She was distinguished for
her beautiful complexion, which re-
minded people of cream and roses and
her face was framed by masses of

Henri, and soon concluded that her sto-
ries about her husband were false.
Then he accused her of his murder in
SO many words.
The madam, strong as she was, fell
in a s@Oon, and when she recovered
consciousness confessed everything.
After Snding that her husband was
dead, she carried his body TO the Gel
lar, and there chopped him into con-
venient chunks with an OK. The
pieces she sewed up in sacks, and ev-
cry night, until the whole body was dis
posed Of, she carried bundle to the
river and threw it in.
Even when this was known most of
the people sympathized with the wOm-
an, knowing how much she had en-
dured. The terrible story was carried
all over Europe. and for weeks to-
gether the newspapers were full of it,
and many years afterwards tourists
went out Of their way to visit the cor
ner of Brittany where Madame Henri
induced her husband to sign the
pledge.
The woman was tried and convicted
An due season, and was sentenced to
twenty years at hard labor.
