Halloway, owner of Chapple, | famous jumper, got a bad fall early this | morning from his bav gelding Allister. His nose was scraped by the Jumper's hoof and his left wrist severely sprained | in the roll upon the tanbark. . This occurred during the exercise period before the hackneys were brought out. Mr. Halloway, than whom there is no more daring rider In the Garden, had encircled the arena, when, on near- ing the north gate, Allister became un- manageable. Harled from His Saddle. In the contest master and animal which followed, Mr. Halloway was hurled from his saddle, and on at- tempting to rise for a remount, Allister reared. By a clever dodge the young rider managed to avold certain death as the jumper came down on all fours, by squirming In the tanbark. Although bleeding from the nose, Hal- loway declared that he would ride in the afternoon and evening events. The morning was taken up with the judging of the English hackney, which has the tremendous high action, but lacks the gameness and speed of the American trotter. Two years ago the rail was Mned with converts to this class of horse, who wore queer horsey clothes and managed to create consid- erable enthusiasm in the hackney. Hackney Exhibit Poor, But interest in the high steppers has had a decided falling off, for only a thin Ine of bored-looking persons viewed the fight for supremacy in hackneys be- tween Frederick C, Stevens, of Attica, N. ¥.. and Eben D, Jordan, of Boston, The popularity of the hackney tn America 1s on the wane—only two or three entries In each class and low prize money, Mr, Stevens was an easy victor in the principal classes of the hackney. He carried off five blue ribbons and was after more with a vengeance. According to the experts there are many women in the Garden dressed far more richly than the Vanderbilts or tho Astors, Young Mrs. Chauncey ‘M. Depew Is attired In a gown so elab- orate that it at once becomes a matter of comment above all other: And she has the beauty to wear such a dress. On another it might be lost. And no one is more proud of that gown than the gallant old Senator himself. He 1s proud of his wife and hovers about her and her callers like a more youthful chevalier. Philadelphians Ahead. Philadelphia put a crimp in New York, as far as gowns go. Mrs, A. J. Cassatt, a beautiful woman, wore a gown which kept the visiting dress- makers busy most of the evening mak- ing notes of it. It is Hkely that this creation will be widely copied during the coming season. From Washington came Mrs. Michael Herbert, wife of the new British Am- bassador, with the supreme effort of a London modiste’s inverftive genius. With her great collection of jewels tne gown made one of the strong impres- sions of the opening of the show, between Cassatt in Charge of the Ring. J, Cassatt, Presilent of the Penn- sylvania Railroad, took charge of the ring this afternoon. Mr. Cassatt wore a plain black sult, derby hat and ay) ght welght overcoat, ‘He is a director the association and has a string of |. horses entered from his stock farm at Chestnut Hill, near Philadelphia, Following ‘the hackneys, some fine fy ecimens of trotters in the breedii classes were shown, When the broode! mares appeared in the ring with two of their progeny it developed a curious rivalry between husband and wife and the blue ribbon went to the latter, not through ‘the courtesy of the Southern Judges, but of account of the superiority of phe exhibit. | nd Mrs. Horatio N.

(Special to The Evening World.) ALBANY, N, Y., Nov. 18—The Court of Appeals to-day, handed down a de- to George vert, a former wardman in the New York Police Department, who was con- Victed of bribery before Recorder Goff and fined $1,000 and sentenced to five and ty one-hi Bissert mony of Airorderly The case nthe rs in Sing Sing prizon, as convicted on the testl- Lena Schmidt, who kept a house In Stuyvesant place. would have ‘been’ stronger testimony of Minnie Kurtz, ran y from the house. She has been eaptured since and {s now a prisoner. Capt. Diamond was seriously com- promised in the trial, but his faithful wardman refused to ifice him to save his own head, On the stand the Schmidt woman said: “T had been keeping a furn'shed-room house and wanted to change it Into a disorderly resort,” the woman testified, “I saw Bissert, and he sald the Captain would stand for it if I gave up $500 and $50 a month extra. I agreed, and on the night of Sept, 29 Bissert called and I paid him the money. Rosle Green- berg and Minnie Kurtz were present when I paid Bissert." - “Why did you make this complaint?" asked Mr. Levy. Her reply came quickly and in a loud tone. “Because Bissert did not protect me. neither did Capt. Diamond. They took my money and gave me no protection In return." Bissert was convicted on Aug. 1, 1901, His counsel, Abraham Levy, said after Recorder Goff's charg: “I would have preferred to have had the Court Instruct the jury to acquit,” sald the littie lawyer, with a smile, “but I wish to say that that was the finest charge that T have ever heard in my twenty-one years’ experience at the criminal bar. It was the saw.” The Appellate Division set aside the judgment of conviction on the ground that the District-Attorney's office erred in presenting the case and that evidence was admitted by the Recorder which should have beén excluded, EXTINGUISHER WINS AT 6 TO.

This !s the first rain that has fallen on the new track, and this morning the officlals refused to permit horses to work over it for fear that it would out up the new soll too much, A couple of days’ racing Nov. over {t, however, should put it in good shape. The card to-day was fairly good. Fields were very heavy but the weather and track caused many withdrawals, so that the races were not top-heavy. The weather had very little effect on the attendance, which goes to show that there are many dyed-in-the-wool enthuslastics here as in New York.

Learning of His Wife’s Intended Action for Divorce, He Loses No Time in Consulting Coun- sel Preparatory to a Contest. BRAVED EVEN THE TOMBS. Roland B. Molineux has consulted counsel with the purpose of resisting the divorce suit his wife intends to bring in South Dakota. In the absence of definite information concerning the grounds upon which Mrs. Molineux will base her attempt at freedom the hus- band has been unable to make definite plans. But if his present state of mind oes not change he will contest the suit. Whether Molineux was aware of the intentions of his wife when she left his father’s home last week and started for South Dakota {a not known, It ts likely that she told no one of her plans and that his first intimation that he was to be made defendant. in a divorce suit came from Stoux Falls yesterday. As s00n as he heard the news he telephoned to George Gordon Battle, one of the counsel for the defense in the murder trial, and asked for a consultation. Mr. Battle suggested that a meeting could be arranged at his office to-day. Molineux sald that he wanted to talk over an important matter as soon as possible, Then Mr, Battle sald he had @ case that would occupy his attention in the Tombs Court early this morning And would meet Molineux there, Feared Not the Old Shadow, In making this appointment It did not appear to have occurred elther to Mr. Battle or Molineux that there was any- thing incongruous tn arranging to meet in the Criminal Courts Building, just across the street from the Tombs, Moll. neux was anxious to see the lawyer and did not care where he had to go for the meeting. Mr. Battle was represent- ing Dr. Whitmore and Harry Wilson in the blackmailing case and feared that he would be kept in court all day. Magistrate Devel was just taking his seat on the bench when Molineux en- tered the court-room and quietly took @ seat on the side nearest the prison. Drawing a newspaper from his pocket he began to read. He was noticed at once and there was a buzz in the court- room. The reporters approached him and questioned him, but he refused to say even one word. Molineux Looks Haggard. ‘While the prisoners were taken before the Judge and examined, Molineux watched the proceedings part of the time and at intervals read his paper. He was attired In a outaway coat and was clean shaven, but looked more haggard than he-has at any time of late, ‘At 9,90 o'clock Mr, Battle came in to participate in the hearing of the charges against his clients, Molineux stood up as Mr, Battle en- tered and held a short conference with his lawyer. Then he took a seat in the rear of the room, awaiting the disposi- tion of the blackenalling case, When this was finished Mr, Battle joined Molineux and together they walked to a Broadway restaurant, where they took seats In a retired cor- (Continued on Twelfth Page.) —= $105,000 for Bronx Bridy: President Waffen, of the Bronx, cured the passage of two resolutions, one appropriating $75,000 for the butlding of the approaches to the bridge which the New York, New Haven and Hart- 83+ PRICE ONE CENT | ie es Lay!
