Arsenal, the winner Of the Metropolitan
Handicap, was bred at the Macgrathiana
Farm, in Kentucky, and was sold year
before last to Mr.. Featherstone for 81, 500.
He is q colt of good bone and substance,
and has developed very much since he
was -year-old. The horse won but
one race last year, and was not numbered
among the better class of racers. His
sire, Lamplighter, was the same sort Of
a horse. He was not crack by any
means as two-year-old. but as three
year-oid showed wonderful Improvement,
and was a great horse as four-year-old.
Arsenal may therefore be expected to
show still further improvement as he
grows older.

Clarence Mackay the owner of Heno.
His Eminenoe and Banastar, has pur-
chased from John II. Madden the two
year-old skillful, which ran in the Juven-
lie Stakes on Saturday and showed a good
performance. The foxey Kentuckian has
already Begun his annual sale OF horses.
There is no better Judge of a horse in
A,serica than Madden. and he knows how
to sell his horses at the best possible
prices.

Alan-a-Dale Is reported TO have pulled
up very lame after his victory In the
Kentucky Derby on Saturday. An exam
nation disclosed that the colt had badly
strained the tendon OF his right fore leg,
and in favoring that he injured his other
fore leg. Owner Mcdowell expressed doubts
as TO whether the colt would ever face
the starter again. If he does his next
engagement; will be in the American
Derby. With sound legs, Alan-a-Dale
would about beat any three-year-old OF
the year, as he can run fast and go any
distance. IT will certainly prove loss TO
the turf IL this crack colt does not re-
cover and go TO the post again.

club man accused of the murder of

the murder of Miss Morton. He pleaded
not guilty and was remanded without

After his release Mason held an in
formal reception, and after short
time was driven to his home, in Bos-
ton.
Before Perry was taken back to Jail
number of persons were permitted
to have look at him. One of the
witnesses in the Mason case, Miss AL
bertson, who is employed at a Waiver

negro whom she saw in Waverley on
the night of the assault upon Miss
Morton. While he was being looked at
Perry grew impatient and angry. lie

has just declared that Perry was the
person who sold him the watches of
Miss McPhee and Miss Morton, and

Although Perry is accused of murder,

accomplice. They believe there is an
other and older negro involved, Of

note on the dresser, in which he had
written, Notify my brother at the

Scanlon had been receiving treat

FINLANDERS RESTLESS.

Outstanding Measures of st. Peters,
burg Government Growing Irk-
some.
Helsingfors, Finland, Nov. 1.-THE
Finlanders are showing restlessness as
a result OF the outstanding measures
of the St. Peterburg government. Self
restraint is beginning to yield to
willingness on the part of a portion Of
the population to tolerate acts of vio-
lence. Such acts have hitherto been
severely frowned down. Another &c
rious indication is the beginning of
closer relations between Finlanders
and Russian revolutionists, a consum-
nation devoutly wished for by the lat
ter. but hardly to the taste OF Interior
Minister Won Plehwe. 1t is believed
the altered temper of the people is
partly due to the terrible famine in
the north, which Is worse than any
since 1867, when 100000 people died of
disease and starvation. The crops
failed to ripen. The grain. cut green,

structure, which was burned last night,
the contractors now place the loss at
not more than $4,000 This estimate

cables were harmed. All the men sup
posed to have been lost have been ac-
counted for.
