THEN BRIDAL COUPLE FLED. But Mrs. Cropsey Gave Chase, Caught Them at the Bride- y oom’s Door and the Irate Woman Scratched His Face. Clad S J. Rich, a young enlesman, ‘who lives at his mother's home, No. 108 ‘West One Hundred and Twenty-third street. was in the Harlem Court to-day before Magistrate Breen with his head scored with welts as big as whip lashes and his face scared by finger- nails, which disfigurements, he said, ~ere the work of Mrs. Eliza Cropsey, of No. 201 West One Hundred and Twenty- eighth street, whose pretty seventeen- year-old daughter, May, he married at Ogdensburg, N. Y.. on Wednesday last. Sisters Two. ‘The story has its beginning away back in the snows of last January when young Rich, who says he is twenty-six years of age, found it pleas- ant to sit at the Cropsey fireside cold nights with May on one side and her equally pretty sister Annabel, aged nineteen, on the other. It took Mra. (Cropsey a long time to divine Rich's “Iimtentions,"’ but she finally got line on them. She swore to-day that it was Annabel whom he courted and that he told her at the time that # was the Jelder daughter's love that he sought. “The, must have had someti to say ‘to each other concerning the young man for, as the record runs, the chill of January was nothing compared to the coolness which overcame their sisterly affection. It ended in May leaving the house and going to her father, who hos a big estate near Og- densburg.

The race meeting at Asoot to-day w hold as usual and even the tremendous rain did not deter King Edward from Rich discontinued his visits. So They Were Married. All this time, however, it is assumed that communication between nim and the daughter at Ogdensburg was moving slong on ball bearings. This assumption scoms well taken in view of the fact that Claude Rich left New York two days ago for Ogdensburg and there made May his wife, Mother-in-Law Meets Them, Mamma Cropsey met the couple. She and Annabel were on hand in the Grand Central depot when Mr. and Mrs. Rich stepped gayly off the Ogdensburg local with love ight in thelr eyes. But there was no love light in Mrs, Cropsey's eyes, who had become a mother-in-law against her will.

"This resulted in-a-mix up. ‘Many people had been paid off in the ring when the announcement was made that “Bets must not be paid.” Hoar had been thrown on the fence when he tried to come through with Blues, and he wanted to claim foul. Judge McDowell said he had not given any signal. Luckily, everything turned out right, for Hoar, seeing the red board up, did not make a claim. The boy's leg was soverely cut. This was in the Coney Island Handicap. Lady Uncas, an 8 to 1 chance, made all the running and lasted long enough to win by a head from that gay deceiver, Blues, also a hot favorite. The Daisy Staes resulted in a dig up- set, Nameoki at odds of 15 to 1 winning very eastly from Rusk, the second choice, Seymour, the favorite, could not raise a gallop.

INDIAN HARBOR YACHT CLUB, Greenwich, Conn., June 19.—Reliance, the new candidate for the defense of the America’s cup, had her hardest struggle to-day with the old Constitu- thon. She was only a minute ahead when the sun came out, as the yachts were four miles from the finish, Columbia was then far behind, but the leading yuchts were making a hard fight of it. Up to that point first one yacht and then the other made slight guins, with Rellunce always a little dn the lead. ‘The race was started under the most unfavorable conditions. Reliance crossed the line first with the Constitution close behind; Columbia crossed a few seconds later. 1 Heavy clouds hung over the Sound and there was only a fair breeze blow- (ng, but there was a big crowd of en- possessed remarkable strength. ‘While at work on the fourth floor of the warehouse to-day he had occasion to call for the elevator. The sheft on each floor is protected by an iron gate that rises to midway between the floor and ceiling. Theberg walked to the gate and reached his head and shoul- ders over in an attempt to discover its whereabouts. Elevator Upon Him. Just at that moment the élevator, which is run by electricity and moves noiselesaly, was descending from the floor above.
