NELSON AND HIS DRIVER.
What Major Ryerson of Auburn Thinks
Of Both.

Major L. C. Byetson Of Auburn, who
for the past two months has been connected
with the Osklsnd Stock Company Of Sagi.
nsw, Michigan, the greatest breeding es-
,sblsbmens in the state, arrived home
Saturday. having been summoned on &C.
count IF his wife.
1t was this company, as will be remem'
bered, that pure hs-ed the Lewiston stallion
Rolfe N, who is . brother in blood to Nei-
son. Those who knev him while here will
be pleased to learn that he is doing nicely
and has greatly improved in appearance.
jor Ryer.on witnessed the race be-
tween Allerton and Nelson, and Gazette
reporter Saturday afternoon asked him his
opinion hs to the merits Of the contest.
"Nelson had license to win the race,
was the reply, ''He is the fastest horse
for a mile and a better race horse. There
isn't q stallion on earth that is his equal
! he psy he Was driven was shame. In
the end, however, | think it may be good
thing, for Nelson has now consented to let
McHenry bit and drive him.
M This McHenry is man about 80 years,
q cool, clear-besded skillful sieerer and in
my opinion just as good IS Doble. He has
hsndled fast horses and he's friend OF
Nelson think be would have won The
race that dsy had he been in the
sulky. At ary rate he wouldn't have
doue what Nelson did the day be-
fore, take his horse out and give him
three fast heats. l have no doubt that ,hsl
same trick contributed in great part to the
loss Of the race. In driving his horse Nell
son would rush him at the start and then
toward the finish would lose his head.
He hasn't given his horse fast mile
this season when he kept his head. He
hssn't kept him in the condition he might
either.

PRINCE OF WALES ANNOYED.
Somebody in His Household Dlyulglng
Ills Private Affairs.

LONDON, Oct. Is Since the time OF
the baccarat scandal there have continuous
ly appeared in sensational papers comments
upon the private life and domestic A6airs Of
the Prince Of Wales which are known to
have caused the Prince great annoyance.
A. . rule the royal family pay little
attention to the gossip which 10 retailed

Of II is the Bnerest tTash. But
these latter articles are Of quite . Different
stamp, and betray . knowledge Of the sub
ject treated Of. II is evident that they are
written or inspired by some one having
access tothe inner circle. The Prince Afst
complained to his private secretary, Sir
Francis Knollys, and that official In
sii,uted q series of inquiries and dsts0-
tive schemes on the theory that some OF
the sservsnts were guilty Of tale bearing.
but all efforts to trace tho leak to such
source failed. This has led to n suspicion
that the offender il one Of the highest
members Of the househpld--one upon
whom suspicion would not naturally fall.
It is recslied that ABOUT two years ago II
wss notorious in Fleet street that the dissi-
pated scion, of 4 noble family, man re-
lated to one Of the chief officers Of the
Princes household. regularly psddled
prince Of Wales news wherever he could
find . sale and lucrative market
for it. The annoyance experienced
by the family led TO Investigations similar
to tbose now on foot, and an Innocent
relative of the family, who wss himsslf
wrongly suspected, got out Of bis embsr-
rassing position by securing for the peddlsr
Of roysl gossip q position in . distant
colony, whereupon the trouble ceased for
the time being. II is believed that some
thing Of the same Kind has been going on
lately, but until the guilty person 70 de-

that France cannot prevent another war.

reprobates the no.ion Of certain military
that the French army should abandon the
