It was about fifteen years ago that my con-

until about two years ago, was a part of

races were doubtless run in heats. Al-
cibiades alone sent seven chariots to
Olympia, winning the first, second, and
fourth prizes.
In the chariot race the skill of the
driver told far more than the speed of
the horses. After the trumpet had
sounded and the bronze dolphin had
been lowered and the bronze eagle
raised as a signal for the start, his cool

speaks of the “twelve swift turns of
the sacred course.”
The relative positions of the chariots
at the start were determined by lot;
but as there was a natural difference
between the inside and the outside
track, this difference was neutralized
by a device in the manner of starting

was in the hands of prospective heirs.
Princess Isabeau-de-Beauveau-Craon
is one of these people with considerate
relative;5 and just now there is a suit
to deprive her of her property and con-
sign her to a madhouse.
The princess never married, although
wooers came in numbers, among them
two Americans—Home, the spiritualist
an.l friend of Dunraven, and Dr. Har-
ris, the prophet, Laurence Oliphant's
friend.
Men’s motives she suspected and she
did not love them. Dogs she trusted
and she has devoted her life to them.
The result is that her dogs are verita-
ble canine wonders. She had, by the
way, a theory that husbands might be
taken on trial for a year and if, at
the expiration of that time, a couple
did not get along they were to go their
ways without more ado.
This was one of the points ampha-
sized ’o prove her insane.
She inherited her wealth from her
granimcther, the Comtesse de Cayla,
whose influence with Louis XVIII. was
great, but acquired in such a way as
to make the people of France regard
the legacy she left as accursed.
Among these inherited possessions
is the beautiful chateau of St. Oven, in
which Louis signed the constitution in
1814 on his way back from exile in
England.
The princess belongs to one of the
most ancient and illustrious houses of
France. The family traces an unbroken
line back to the eleventh century and
enjoys the princely rank in France and
Germany, and in Spain that of gran-
dessa.
The Austrian Princess Montleat, who
was so shockingly murdered a short
while ago near Cracow, was another
foreign celebrity whose whims equaled
or even surpassed her money.
She was masculine in appearance,
ware top boots, short black skirt and a
man’s overcoat and slouch hat. She
completed the manlike resemblance by
smoking strong cigars all day long as
she rode astride over her estates.
Horses were her passion and she
never lived in her magnificent castle
near Cracow, but. shunning her neigh-
bors. she occupied a den in the stables
of her stud farm.
In this room she was found with her
throat cut. Her desk had been broken
open and ransacked. There were evi-
deaces of a terrible struggle, but noth-
ing gave any clew to the murderer,
who has never been discovered.
The princess' fortune was divided be-
tween Archduke Rainer of Austria and
King Humbert of Italy as heirs of her
father.
Russia's money queen with oddities
was the late Princess Icharnitsky. Her
will is now giving rise to one of the
mos sensational suits ever tried in
that country.
In her youth she was maid-of-honor
to the late czarina. She then inherited
her brother's fortune, in addition to
her own. which rivaled that of the
Demidoffs, and at that time she de-
veloped incredible avarice.
She took but one meal a day, which
cost mt more than 16 cents. Her gar-
ments were so cheap as to make her
appearance in any society an impos-
sibility, and rather than purchase the
daily paper she regularly borrowed it
of a neighbor.
She had a moujik for a servant, who
confessed that he had strangled his
mistress with a towel because she had
accused him of stealing some worn-out
garments that had belonged to her
orother.
On the morning of her death she was
also to have appeared as defendant in
a libel suit brought for accusing one
of her former friends of stealing a
pocket handkerchief.
