# ERE + Don’t Be Too Hard On Him. MERELY becanse otrustes has - been appointed for the Coun- tess de Castellane, born Gould, to restrain her husband from putting her fortune too rapidly into circulation, we need not nec- essarily conclude that the Countess has made a bad match. So far as one can judge without intimate knowledge, the Countess has not only had a very good run for her money, and one very much M to her taste, but has still a comfortable ’ fortune left, and many very valuable and desirable effects, which the Count’s activity has enabled him to accumulate. The Count seems to be what the late A. Ward might have called an amoosin’ cuss, He is expensi it is true, but tho Countess was not looking for a saving man when she took him. It seems highly probable that he has afforded her far better sport than she would have been able to com- mand if she had married a person more like her father's prudent and profitable associate, Mr. Sage.

It published a letter recently in which the writer said, among other things: “The rank and file of American visitors are an unmiti- gated nuisance. Visit Newmarket any morning, and what do you see? Buckboards and buggies in place of English traps, American women with tow-colored hair and the complexion of a French clown, the American jockey and his entourage of hangers-on, and, worse than all,a huge sprinkling of unattached American loafers, who claim they are friends of the trainers and jockeys, but who in reality are gamblers and limberers of the worst type, who have merely sought to find on the English race-course a Tom Tiddler’s Ground, where they will not be interfered with by police to whom they are not known. “In fact, Americans during the present season have almost dominated Newmarket.
