EXPECTED TO START. Prominent among the entries will be thope of W. M. Keer of Trainer, the well-known horseman. Mr.

Kerr owns tho bay mare Mamie which won the Wilmington Steeplechase In 1903 and again last she will no doubt start in the same ruce at the coming meeting. Mamie H. by Tattler with dnm unknown, Is one of the grandest Jumpers ever foaled.

Kerr races his horses solely for the pleasure that It gives him to see them run, and he almost always has the satisfaction of seeing them win. The coming; race will again be "cake walk" for Mamie and she will doubtlesH win pulled up.

There were two of the swindlers, both young men and well dressed. Both were smooth-faced and one of them was more than six feet tall. The other was about 5 feet Inches In height. The Intended victim is nearly ninety years old. According to Mr.

Ferris' story to the police he first met one of the men at Eighth and Tatnall streets. The stranger gave bis name as ill' I asked his prospective victim about the banks of Wilmington and the interest they paid on deposits. He said he had Borne money which he desired to put in the institution that paid the best Interest, and after talking along this strain for a short time, the swindler suddenly thought of something and saying he had an appointment, bid Mr. Ferris good-bye and left him. The lat ter then went to the paint store of James M.

Bryan Son and walking out Eighth street between Tatnall and West, met the second confidence man. SECOND SWINDLER APPEARS. The swindler informed Mr. Ferris that he had two histories of Wilmington and knowing that he was Interested in such works, desired to present him with one. Mr.

Ferris replied that he did take some Interest historical books but informed the stranger that he did not usually speak to strange persons unless first introduced. The confidence man, quick to respond, said his name was Winches ter, and that his brother, James C. Winchester, was president of the First National Bank, and on his suggestion, Mr. Ferris accompanied him to the home of Ella Bell, colored, at No. 811 Tatnall street.

Here the two met Hall. "Winchester" asked his accomplice for the histories of Wilmington, saying he desired to give Mr. Ferris one of them. "1 am replied HalL "I found the books scratched and sent them back to New Tork as Bishop Potter told me not to give any out that were damaged." LOTTERY GAME PROPOSED. Then turning 4 to "Winchester," Hall said: "I owe you $21.

Here is $20 and this lottery ticket Is guarantee for the other dollar." "Winchester" took the money and lottery ticket which Hall had produced and stored them away In his pocket. Hall then asked "Winchester" whe ther he had any property in Wilmington and the latter replied: "Oh, I got about $11,000 worth." then you can get $1000 In cash," and "Winchester" replied that he could. "How about you?" said Hall ad dressing Mr. Ferris. The latter said he guessed his name was good for a' thousand, but remarked that he did not have thai sum with him.

"Tou can get It though, can't you?" Inquired and the prospective victim answered that he could. At this point Hall produced two rollB of "money" as big as his fiHts and lay ing them on the table together with some lottery tickets said to both "Winchester" and Mr. Ferris: "This game is on the square and as security each of you can take one of the rolls. This lottery Is In Washington and Is all right." THE BIRDS HAD FLOWN. Mr.

Ferris left the house, pretending lo go to his home for the money, but went to the First National Bank Instead, and describing the man who gare the name of "Winchester" to the president of that Institution, found that he had no such brother. Mr. Ferris then reported the matter to the police and when the latter went to No. 811 Tatnall street they found the awlndlres had gone. Police Captain Evans learned that the men had called on the Bell woman this morning and engaged the front room of her home from 9 o'clock until 8 o'clock this afternoon.

That they followed Mr. Ferris when he left the Tatnall street house ID believed by the police, as no trace Of them could be found when the officers went to the house. The only thing left behind by the men was a sheet of paper with some figures on It. NON-SUPPORT ACTIONS Two Cases Continued on Promise of Defendants to Pay. The caso against Morris L.
