Featherstone Horses Go East.

Lexington, KY, April 24.-The Feath-
erstone racing stable has left here for
New York. It consists of rs horses, all
of them in the pink of condition Only
one, Typhoon II, will be left behind.
Trainer julius Bauer says all of the
horses taken are not just what he had
liked to have them, but he is confident
of the ability of some five or six of
them to defeat all corners this season.
Mr.. Featherstone. who has been here
for a week, spending the most of his
time at Kenmore, where the horses have
been wintered, is much encouraged with
the prospect. He does not think there
is a horse living that can beat Mesmer-
ist Indian Fairy, he says, is the best
8 year old FLY he ever saw, and his
jockey, Winnie O'Connor. is of the same
opinion. Missionary is also good. The
best of the 2 year olds is Black Fox.
Mintage, the 2 year old full sister to
Mesmerist, is also promising, and Mr..
Featherstone expects her to prove Of
high class.

New York, April A.-Reeords Of the big
Life insurance companies throughout the
country show that they have been reap
ing a harvest of late among the fighting
fraternity. Not one of the husky boys
believes that he is in any immediate dan

Of death is KID Mccoy. Among the

strate to him the wisdom of making pro-
vision Tor an uncertain future.
Tom Sharkey is another one of the big
Fellows who has the future of his rela-
tives provided for by a liberal life insur-
ance. The sailor is slated for $1,000 upon
which he pays big premiums. Sharkey
took out this policy a short time befora
he fought Jeffries at Coney Island last
spring. The fact that he was going into
the Tight however, never entered into the
consideration when he negotiated the
policy, although it was a subject Of Jest
Corbett is insured for $4,000. The ex-
champion took out policy in San Fran
cisco long before he entered the prize ring
1t was then only for a small amount, but
since that time he has increased it. Upon
the death Of his mother and father re-
Gently COrbett considered the advtsa bility
OF cancelling his contract, but decided to
allow his money to remain as a general
Investment with the idea of collecting it
himself at the end Of a certain term Of
years.

call an election at which a proposition
should be submitted to the voters of the
city to issue $4,000 in bonds, or so much
thereof as may be necessary, to pur-

city as are not supplied. The petitions
have been prepared and are being cir

The petitions must be signed by two
