SMATHERS WINS OVER BILLINGS

Owner of Major Delmar Beats Owner of Lou Dillon with Honor at Stake.

EVIDENCE IS CONFLICTING

BILLINGS HAD ALLEGED THAT SMATHERS HAD LOU DILLON "DOPED" IN ORDER TO BEAT HER IN RACE.

rPubllshera' Pr?ss.l New York, Dec. 5. Elmer E. Smathers, stock broker, horseman, and one of the gamest all round sports in the United States, scored a notable victory over his ancient enemy, C. K. G. Billings, the millionaire who has dabbled in horse fiesh

i for several years in an effort to buy

up all of the world beaters possible, in order that his show of plate, won at matinees, might be the largest in the country. Billings, through his former trainer, Ed. Saunders and George V. Spear, who formerly drove for Smathers. but broke with him two years ago, some time ago brought charges against. Smathers before the National Trotting Association and appealed to the courts of the State of Xew York, to recover the world's champion amateur gold cup, won by Smathers with Maj. Delmar, in the contest with Lou Dillon at Memphis two years ago, on the ground that the mare had been doped by Smathers" orders. In a sensational hearing today In which much contradictory and conflicting testimony was introduced, and which was held by the Board of Reviews of the National Trotting Association, this latter body decided that Major Delmar defeated Lou Dillon on her merits, and the charges against Smathers were dismissed.

League, which started some weeks ago

ith prospects of success.

The northern tier of counties, how

ever Lima, Findlay, Fostoria and Kenton did not pay out well, and lack of patronage forced them to drbp out of the league. This left only Springfield and Dayton, both of which were willing to continue. In an effort to adjust matters the question of disbandment was left open for a time, but as none of the other teams showed a disposition to take up the running again, the league is apparently as dead as a door nail. Efforts are now being made to es tablish a league to consist of Dayton,

Sixty-five dollars in cash was Aken from the safe in the book store of Ellwood Morris & Co., at 720 Main street on TuerTTay night, the theft being discovered yesterday morning by Mr. Morris. The police were 'at once notified and spent the day investigating but without a clew. Just how the burglar joined entrance to the store is puzzling to the police, for both front and rear doors were found securely locked yesterday morning. One theory is that the robber had entered the store . during the business hours and had secreted himself, leaving the store by means of a small window on the second floor at the, rear which had been left open. The safe doors had not been locked by Mr. Morris the night before. The burglar- is the fourth that has occurred in Main street recently. The Women's Exchange, Hall's Hardware Store and the Peter Johnson Stove Compaf-.y store have all been entered within a few weeks. The robbery at the Morris book store, however, is the only one in which any considerable sum was taken.

ENDLESS PRAYER CHAIN AGAIN MAKES APPEARANCE Notwithstanding That Fraud was Exposed Some Crank at Oxford, Ohio Starts it ASain Tells of Dire Calamity.

Notwithstanding that Rishop Lawrence, the Episcopal Rishop of Massachusetts, has time and time again in the past few weeks positively denied having originated the endless prayer chain which was so promiscuously circulated over the country, the prayer has again made its appearance in Richmond, after a lull of only a few weeks. After the prayer was exposed by the newspapers of the country, and in Richmond several weeks ago. but few letters were received by Richmond parties, but last Monday several prominent local peo-' pie received, the "prayer letters". On close examination the stamp showed that they had been sent from Oxford, Ohio,- but the sender is not known. Tho introduction to the letter states that if the person receiving the letter does not immediately write nine other letters, to their friends asking them to write nine, keeping the affair up until thousands and even millions of letters are written, some dire calamity will fall upon the person who breaks the chain. Tho letter even goes so far as to say that a terrible calamity fell upon a certain person (not named) who refused to write his required nineletters.
