EVIDENCE AS TO DRINKING HABITS. The hearing was continued in the Banco Court yesterday, before Mr. Justice a'lteckctt, of the case in which Walter Kemp sought propound the will of Laura Xickson, late of the Broken River Hotel, Bcnalla, of which he was trustee. The validity of the will was challenged by John Turner Barclay, son of testatrix, on the ground of tctftaraentary incapacity and undue influence by Kemp. Mr.

Maxwell and Mr. Latham (instructed by Messrs. Brocket and Kemp) appeared for Kemp, and Mr. Bryant and Mr. Magennis (instructed by Mr.

W. H. Jones) for John. Turner Barclay. Testatrix in her will, after making; certain bequests and providing for the payment of incomes out of trust moneys to beneficiaries, devised the residue of her estate to Kemp, who was a trustee under the will.

Tlie estate was sworn at On the case being called on, John Turner Barclay, the eaveator in fhe rase, said he was the ehlrat living son of Nicksen. I'rior to 1013 his mother was addicted to drink, and after March, 1014, she tieenrm" worse. On an average she would drink a bottlo of whisky or Ibrandy a day Mr. Magennis: And what about Sunday Witness: She would drink two bottles on a iSinuiay. Continuing, witness said that tlie effect was that whilst his mother would not be "too bright" sometimes, at others she would be absolutely stupid.

iShe would try and disguise' the fact that she drank. Beside what'she drank at home she would get other drink at hotels. In January, 1015, testatrix purchased a busineas for him at Hawthorn, and on two occasions came and stayed with him and his wife. She continued to drink during that time. She brought a 'bottle up with her.

and witness's wife purchased per other Imttles of drink from outside. Witness thought it was got from a grocer's shop. After he left the business be saw Kemp. Witness said that if he paid all hie creditors he would not have any money left. Kemp told him to go away for at least three months, and, acting on that advice, witness and his wife left for Queensland.

He returned from that State in consequence of a letter he received from Kemp, and saw his mother in the hospital. His brother nimran tnlH him that his mother in her will was leaving witness 3 a week, but leaving Duncan 5 a week. Kemp promised to see witness's mother about the will, and get her to take something from the sum given to enaniies ana leave to witness. When witness and his wile saw Kemn at his office tile latter said tnat. ne had had a hard job to get Mrs.

ta alter her will. Mr. Magennis: what did Kemp say to you 1 -J itness: lie saio my nromi-r earn iu him, "You bad better take the lot, Mr. Kemp, and divide it the best way you can. Mr.

Maxwell: And Mr. Kemp added that he told your, mother he could not do that Witness: That is so. Mr XLiirennis: What were your relations with your mother up to the trmo of her death Vitne: We were like pals more tntn like mcthcr and son. My mother was also very affectionate towards my wile. Mr.

Maxwell (cross-examining): You rrake out your mother to have been an inveterate drunkard for years Witness: Yes, excepting when she was taken in hand by someone, else. She was very easily influenced i'did not ask you that. I will come to your influence with "your pal" later on. She was never fit to do any business at all. Was she a hypocrite, saying one thing to your face and another thing behind your back Very much so.

She might have said behind my back tfnat I was an. intolerable nuisance. You want us to believe that Absolutely. You had no respect for her Oh, yes, I had. In regard to her failings, I smot'i-eit'd theiri up.

Amata's younger sister, Wallaiiia, seenred third money for Messrs. Baillieu. Ulilus and Coronatus fell shortly after the start, and tire finstnamed received injuries which ended his turf career. Complaint is made bv trainers of the action of the nutlmritics at Flenninar-ton in roiusing to allow their foremen or other accredited employes to weigh out compvtanof horses, thouisli armed with the necessiry tickets of admiieion to tine weighing yard.

A good deal of timo is saved when a trainer has two or more competitors in a race if 'his representative attends to (some of-the duties, while at times the head of thp cxUtlilinhniont may tbe engaged in other directions.

AUTUMN HANDICAP GOES TO-THE CHRISTIAN BROTHER. TWO HORSES KILLED. Yesterday the weather for the tHird day's racing of the VJt.C. Autumn meeting at Flcmmglon irai slightly on the warm side, but fortuuateiy a southerly Ibreeze tempered the eun's rays, and everything considered there was not vory much to complain of as regards the weather. Once more the attendance waa very satisfactory, and the patriotic funds to which the VJI.C.

is RivinR all the year's profits arc Lkegr to be considerably augmented by the proceeds from this autumn iixture. The sport provided was crccivtionally in-Unnting, though fields wcro not over large, and the programme showed a very marked improvement upon that presented on Tuesday, tlrougii the results were all against tuckers. THE RACING. A very satisfactory start was made with a field of fourteen in the Autumn Ilurdle Kaue, in which Lord Grey, with 12 st. 13 waa favorite at 3 to lilackstep, (Sure-step, the Sydneyside Jlcrriinax and the grey Binizulu, who was making his reappearance after a considerably lengthy absence, were all well supported.

Juilundur, the winner, was backed earlier in the betting at 7 and 8 to 1, but hp went out of favor as starting time approached, and at barrier rise 12 to 1 was on offor. iliiKa-bah, Dunocles and Wcenobah were roainiy for the pace act. ililkaiah retired half a miie from home, whore Jui-luudur joined the leaders, and a good race from cue tfaight entrance between him and Dunacies, who came at the end after iooiviug beaten, resulted in a win for Jui- of a length otf came Mcrrimax, with lord Grey at heels. a stable companion of broke down badly, ani was subsequently destroyed. inturest was evinced in the meeting at weight for age in the if.

Lloyd Makes, over a nine, ot Woorak and Ira-quette. and with sprinters like Amata, tiiru, Iownit and Burratiodcen as accessories, there was every promise of a more tiinn usually interesting contest. Woorak was favorite, wicil Traouutto next in de- niiml. but to the consternation of backers wither of the pair succeeded in even gin-in a plane. Woorak was first out, but Wore going a furlong he was joined by Trwuette, and the pair made the pace a cracker right to the turn for home.

Here Traquette had command, and was seen tfist Woorak, whose rider lwt his itirrup iron, was beaten. Amat and Bur-rahadeen cliaCenged Mills's mars, and as tar as she was concerned the race was ail over, for she faded to hold her own, and Amata passed the post lialf a neck in front of Jiiirrabadcen, while Giru, a length otf, beat Traquetto for third money. Tne timo for the race was posted as 1 min. 31)1 sec, but the chronometer ot the back of lire dox said mixtt unmistakablv i min. Ji sec.

In the Newmarket Han- on oaturuay tne time was given as mm. a mc, ivinio ine enronometer said 1 mm. 14 3s5th sec. This is carelessness s' ouiu not prevau at head quarters. raicnmy Tim waa I minutes br to 1 min.

The 24 f'isil'le for the Autumn Handicap dwindled down to moat, i proportions before owners laid down the pen, ana only lour starters nut in an appearance. A favorite was found in nusn loney, out the et she could do was to run third.

Kirst Lesson mado the running for the first mile, when he was joined by his compatriot Tho Christian Brother, who, after galloping alongside him to the distance, forged ahead, and though Mr. Fov's horse won bv onlv half Ivmrth the margin could have been much lanrer Md the winning jockey willed it. The Jlarcti Aurscry attracted a held of eleven youngsters, including representatives of Victorian, New South Wales and South Australian stables. The Victorian-owned antarem Mas made favorite, but he failed to run irp to anticipations, and a slashing finish over the last furlonir be tween the Marihyroong Trial Plate vicinas Jlanaro and the Randwick trained filly Poitrina resulted in the finstnamed secur ing the judges hat by naif a head, with Ptnmi third. Burnley, a roenrhcr' of ScoNe's team, a hig overgrown dark chest-r, i dently require more time, was Lst.

The time, 1 min. llty was very moderate. In the Loch Plate only Cyklon. Prize fighter the ancient, and Francis Foy the maiden had the temerity to oppose the Champion Stakes winner Carlita. Backers wore asked to lay I to 4 on carhta ana take 7 to 4 about Cyklon, the two other runners hardly being mentioned.

Car lita went to the front in the first furlong, and though Lewis more than once made a run nt her on Cyklon he could not make any impression on 4hc mare, and she won comfortably by a couple of lengths, while Francis Foy was eight lengths off, third. Tho time, 3 nun. 30 sec, could easily have been lessened by Carlita had there been anything in the race to extend her. The racing was concluded by a field of thirteen going to the post lor me itiver xianuicap, and a imod race resulted in the Ballarat- nu-ned 1'nsitua ftoorinir from Golden Charm, with Wallnchia third. Tho race Droved fatal to Ulilus, and -unfortun ately the jockey, F.

During tne race for the River Handicap, the la.n event on the programme at Flem-mgton yesterday, a serious accident oe-curred by which F. C.arland, rider of Ulilus, sustained severe injuries, and W. Smart, who rode Coronatus, was slightly shaken.

There were thirteen runners. Soon after the start Ulilus was observed to be gradually dropping back from the centre of the field, apparently having galloped on tho heels of one of the other competitors. The mare then seemingly crossed her legs, and fell heavily, bringing down also Coronatus, who was following close behind. Ulilus rolled on her diminutive rider, F. Garland, who besides being cnrslied was found to be sulfcring from a severe fracture of biie base of the skull.

Medical attention was speedily obtained for the lad, who rallied slightly, and arrangements wets made by tho acting chairman of the V.R.C., Mr. L. K. ci. Mackinnon, for bis removal as soon as possible to Melbourne Hospital, where he was admitted for treatment.

He was then in a precarious condition. TJie acculent occurred about fifty yards from the starting point, juet as the held was settling down. Smart, who rode Coronatus, was rolled along the ground for a considerable distance, but through being at the rear of the hold he fortunately escaped without serious injury. His mount, he stated, did not strike tne prostrate Garland, who lay unconscious. The struggling Uiilus broke her arm, and was subsequently destroyed by Mr.

S. O. Wood. Garland, is only fourteen years of age, has been riding for about two years. He is apprenticed to Mr.

J. Leek, the Cauliield trainer, and is a promising light During the past few montiu he has ridden several winners, inc'uding Red Steel (V.A.T.C. Salisbury Welter), Lady Mola, Lady Mooltan and others, and ia a well-behaved lad. His condition late last nignt was critical. Ulilus was a four-year-old chestnut mare, by J'ntdent King from t'arpoo Rori (dam of Euliulus), by Bread Knife from Darkness, and cost her owner, Mr.

P. T. Hey-wood, 750 guineas as a yearling. Though she had won half a dozen minor events on country and suburban courses she was only a moderate performer. A Hurdle Racer Destroyed.

In the Autumn Hurdle Race HJ3.N.. a stable companion of RatMarnham and Vengeful, broke ((iwn so badly tit it was considered advisable to destroy him. H.B.N, was an aged gelding by Discussion from Celia, and was a poor performer. Both fore tendons gave way during the race.

CHESS. According to latest sdviens, Jose R. Oapablanca was leading at the end of the tenth round of the Rice memorial tournament st New York. A game by Capabianca played in this tournament will appear in "The Leader" next week. It is interesting to note how closely Cana-blanca's style of play resembles that of Morphey, who, too, waa of Spanish descent.

The style ol both is charmingly simple and direct, and almost entirely devoid of Oriental flnivse, which distinguish! rluit of so niuuy of the Continental masters. Capsblonca ia probably the strongest player to-day. A match recently played between Midtflescx and Kent waa wen by the latter by 13 to 12. This is the first match over the board that Middlesex has lost since 1012. The scores to date in the current handicap tournament at the Melbourne Chesa Club are: A.

Indignation was expressed by members of the Metropolitan Fire Brigade Board yesterday at the refusal of the City Council to grant motor engines and other vehicles an unhindered passage througli the city streets when on their way to a fire. A letter to the City Council pressing the urgency of this request elicited the reply that that august body failed to see any reason for altering the decision of the legislative committee in June last declin lug to grant this preference over other vehicles. Chief Officer Lee said that in the in terests of public safety the Government should step in and compel the City Conn cil to do something in the matter. Mel bourne was the only e'ty in an English- speaking country where this concession was not made. Mr.

Turton expressed the opinion that the City Council bad treated the fire brigade board in a grossly unfair manner. Further action should be taken. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Manger suggested that a deputation should wait upon toe Citv Council to again press the request. He agreed with the chief otKcer tiat Melbourne was th.j only city where the right of tlie road was not given to the tire brigade.

Mr. Turton said the council was hiding behind a subterfuge. He did not think the matter hail- been discussed by it at All. friir Henry Weedon (a member of the City Council) said that -I he had been at the meeting when the matter was dis cussed lie would have advocated the granting of the request. He did not know that the rniestion had been discussed bv the legislative committee.

If it had been he considered the courtesy of an opportunity ot heing present should have been extended to him. The hoard should ask for a confercnoe with the counc'l on the sub. ject. Mr. Manger pointed out that every donkey cart and common carrier's van might block the brirade on its way to a fire.

Mr. Turton: My opinion is that the Oitv Council is nntiipiated in its methods, and is entirely nut of date. It was resolved to endeavor to arrange conference with the Counc'l Council to go into the matter. GENERAL SESSIONS, SENTENCES. In the Court at General Seamon est or.

STARTS At Their CITY and YOU'LL SAVE MONEY ON EVERY BY ASM AN. Out of the eighteen races decitled bo far at the V.R.C. Autumn meeting the result has been that only three favorites lave proved successful, so tliat it can be taken for granted that hackers gcncrnlly have experienced a rnoxt unpleasant time from a monetary standpoint. On the first day Patrabaa (5 to 2 on) and Wolaroi (8 to 4 against) were the first choice winners, and yesterday the Looh Plate winner, Carlita (7 to 4 on), supplied the third favorite for tlie campaign. Few backers, Uiowever, were plucky enough to luy the aids on the Charlemagne mure, who had Hot them down in tlie Essendun fetakes, in which she was beaten ly Giru.

interest in yesterday's racing centred in the meeting of Woorak and Traquette in the C. M. Lloyd Stakes, in whie the cracks were opposed by who made Iser debut in weight-for-age company; Burrubadeen, Ciiru, Iownit and the Western Australian High Rock. The general opinion was that the issue would be fouglrt out by Woorak and Traouot'le, and any' one who dared to suggest that the pair would have failed to take a share in the stake would have been ridiculed. That at alll events is what happened.

Traquette passed Woorak in the hrst couple of furlongs, and as itihe brilliant dauirutcr of Tra- uuair canto into the straight with a substantial lead it looked any odils on lcr bconng lor tlie second year in succession. liurmDu.leeu and Amata then appeared on the scene, and the Newmarket Handicap winner, fighting out every inch of the ground determinedly, won in great style bv half a neck from Uurrabaileen. Iruiiuette tirea in tne bit. and the consistent Ciiru easily cut her out of third money. Woorak was noticed to steer a most erratic course, liracken seemingly having no control of the chestnut, who ran out wide at the turn, while shortly alter passing tbe winning post tho horse swerved and threw his rider.

It transpired that just after the start something went wrong with the riding gear on Woyrak, and Bracken was without either stirrup iron or leather for the greater part of the journey. This explains the poor display of Voorak, who naturally dropped back when the mishap took place, liracken did well in the circumstances to retain his seat. Traquette finished half a dozen lengths in tront of Woorak, who was being eased up before the post was reached. There is no doubt about the brilliancy of Amata, who ran the distance, one mile, in the fast time of 1 min. 38 half a second better than that put up by Traquette in the corresponding event last year, and a record for Hemingum.

The record for Australia (1 min. Sii sec.) is hold coniointly by Mont calm and l'ortrush. lhirrabadeen ran a good race, and proved that his Bourke llandicap victory was no fluke. Neither the winner nor Traquette got sway too well at the start, but Amata, who is bred to Stay, finished with a tine run, and scored another meritorious and popular victory. Amata is engaged in the Fare well Handicap, to tie run 10-morrow.

Sinus he won the St. George Htakes, Cyklon has proved very costly to backers. Francis foy was not allowed to make the pace, as in the Legcr, and so-cured third money (78 sovs.) for bis patient owner. The fact that thera are so many long distance races at the meeting is probably re sponsible for the poor field of four in the Autumn llanaicap, tne auuea money tor which is 00 and the committee would do well to reduce the journey to, say, a mile ami a turiong.
