Naples, May 5.—An old lay
sister of the convent of Santa
ohiara is awaiting trial here on
the charge of stealing valuable
pictures presented to the institu
tion by the late abbess, Sour
Immacolata, who was formerly
a, duchess of an ancient Italian
family. The nun, who was the
Abbess’ attendant, appears to
have been under the impression
that after the latter’s death the
pictures became her property.
One of, them, which she sold to a
Neapolitan dealer for $5, was
later sold in Paris for $20,000.

when it should be relinquished
to the next winner, but owing to
the fact that the cups are of
considerable value it was de
cided at yesterday’s meeting to 1
hold a series of meets and at the :
close of the series to allow the 1
contestant having the highest :
average score in each contest to :
retain the cup.
During the intervals between
the tournaments which will be 3
held on June 6 and July 4, the ]
loving cups will be on display in 1
the windows of the dealers who i
are furnishing them, together i
with a card telling the present 3
holder of the cup. The cup for 3
