According to sporting authority. the
life of a horse trainer IS about as little
to be envied as that of any mortal. In
the excitement consequent TO big race
the jockey is the hero of the hour, and
never a thought is bestowed on the
trainer, to whose fostering care both
horse and jockey owe the burst of en-
thusiasm that invariably proclaims VIC
tory. The jockey has the bays, the
trainer none. The responsibility and
anxiety felt by the jockey whenhe rides
a Derby-winning fayorite is but drop
in the ocean compared with that which
weighs on the mind of a horses trainer.
The Jockeys troubles are over within
the space of a few fleeing moments.
but the trainer who has crack in his
charge knows no peace of mind for
months. Sleepless nights are frequent
" his portion. He never can tell from
one to another what may happen Be
the horse ever so sound, he cannot tell
when an accident may destroy all hope
of success. and bitter must be his ex-
perience when he sees victory slipping
from his grasp. If the horse be deli
cate one, with slight suspicion of be
ing not quite right in his wind. or I'M
certain on his legs. and the winter be a
hard one. the trainer has a weary and
unhappy time of it, ard it must be with
a feeling of intense relief that he de-
livers the horse fit and well on the
eventful day of the big race

ward among the islands whereon sheep
are kept in winters. The society propose
to keep sharp lookout on these islands
this year as they have done in years past.
Agent Perry said yesterday that he did
not propose to make any trouble on those
islands that were covered partially with
the low, thick branched trees or bushes,
that give very good shelter, If there was
some one on the island to look after food
for the sheep during winter. But in cases
where the islands are barren, without an
shelter, or anyone to look after the sheep,
Mr.. Perry proposes to see that no sheep
are allowed to winner there.

Murder Mystery in Lynn.

Lynn, Mass, Oct. 1S.-That great
trunk tragedy, as it was known
throughout all New England way back
in 1872, when the mutilated body of
Jennie Clark was found wedged into
a trunk which had been picked up In
the Saugus river, was in some re-
spects no more mysterious than the
murder which was revealed yesterday
by the finding of a mans body, de-
capitated and denuded of the limbs,
in a gunny sack, in Glenmore pond.
The legs were subsequently found in
two other bags, but the head and arms
are still missing. The police are in
clined to the belief that George 3.
Bailey had been murdered and have
taken under arrest John G. Best, 80
years old, a farm hand, employed on
the estate of which the supposed VIC
tim Of the murder was caretaker.
Bailey disappeared Oct. 8. Best as
serts his innocence.
