dence of the girl was very positive,

man who would seduce a girl and then
seek to thus escape responsibility for
his offellCO. Prisoner's counsel took ex
ception to these remarks, but the P. M.

ing

friends and relatives, who will, rejoice

straight heats at Strathroy in May.

columns of the Toronto World of last
Thursday ; "Heavy sp nutation has
been indulged in on the ereat Lexing-

race in America, In the 2.15 class,
pacing race, which took place; at Lex-
ington, Ky., on Thursday last, Nellie
Bruce, the Canadian mare, that made
such a favorable impression at the last
meeting at McKee's Rocks, was made
an odd -on favorite. Frank L. Herdie,
the king of pool sellers, was on hand
sad when asked for a bid Mr. N. B.
Hubinger, a small man of medium
height and retired manner, eamly bid.
$4,000 for the favorite, Nellie Bruce.
The bid had no sooner been recorded
than $1,280 was offered by a Chicago
broker for the field against this great
mare. This made a total of 35,280 in
the pool. Bruce won the race in
straight heats with most apparent ease."
