He is a great lover lof horses, and his principal hobby is trotters. An’ unysual scene from American lite of other days was staged on the race track at Cioshen, N. Y., a few days ago, when a distinguished gath- ering mw Justice Tompkins win two straight heats and win a match from Bupreme Court Justice A. H. F. Geoger of Orange County. For the past two years Justice Tompkins has owned and driven Louise Guy, by Guy, Axworthy. At this race Judge Tomp- kins drove Louise Guy and JMige | Seeger handled the ribbons over his fast horse Bing Bang. A large crowd ‘was in attendance, including Mrs, 1. . [H. Harriman, former Gov. Benjamin B, ‘Odell and a party of friends from the Union League Club, including Federal Judge Julius M. Mayer. The race ‘was won in straight heats by Judge Tompkins, and since then he has driven Loulse Guy in other races at Goshen in 2.16% and 2.18%, and their friends say that Judge Seeger intends to buy a new and faster trotter and will challenge Judge Tompkins in an- other contest in the fall, Justice Tompkins not alone enjoys the distinction of being well versed in crimina] and civil law, but he is ‘also an expert in the training of his trotters. He dots all his own train- ‘When he is not presiding over court at White Plains Court House or some other court in the Ninth Ju- dicial District, he may pe found working out hig trotters on the Park- way track in Brooklyn or on the Goshen track, No one has driven Loulse Guy this year in any of her workouts or training miles or races but himself. Justice Tompkins believes in tak- ing part in trotting races of the kind which gave romance to the turf in America in the earlier times, in which gentiemen drivers, long since dead, ‘would have liked to partictpate. Some Judges take nowadays to playing golf or motoring, but Justice ‘Tompkins takes peculiar delight in CLEAN-UP WORK. CHURCH—ia your son back from the war yet? Mrs. Gotham—Not yet.

Judge Seeger then won, and thereafter it was nip and tuck be- tween the two jurists, Judge Seeger winning two more races. Not to be outdone, Judge Tompkins purchased another tro:ter named Judge Seeger, he driving Amasis, and the races split even for several years, each winning an equal number, ‘Then three years ago Judge Tomp- kins bought Leo A., @ fast trotter, and at White Plains Fair Ground at Poughkeepsie, Judge Tompkins's trotter defeated Amasis in straight heats and then Iater at Goshen Judye Tompkins drove Leo A. against American Girl, owned by Richard Delafield, President of the Park Na- ray; Axide, owned by Benjamin A, Buckley, for many years a devotee of the sports Bond Issue, owned and driven by Doctor Mitchell, of East Orange, N, J.; Raffles, owned by Mr, Buckley and’ driven in this race by Judge Seeger, Raffles at that time held the Goshen matinee track record place in October, 1916, was one of the closest and most interesting matinee races ever held.on the Goshen track. ‘The race was won by Judge’ Tomp- kins, driving Leo A. and the fastest mile was in 2.111-2, which established @ new matinee trotting track record, which has never since been equalled.
