TRAINING OF RACE HORSES.
Much Depends Upon Those Who Have
Them In Charge.

"a good trainer cannot make a Lou
Dillon or a Cresceus out Of a street
a horse; but a poor trainer might
very rapidly reduce either of those
equine notables to a wreck said a
horse owner. THE training OF a
horse Is simple as far as manual labor
goes; but the different temperaments
of the horses must be known. and
sometimes they are as hard to read as
different phases In human nature.
"A colt born in early spring, If he
Is to be a runner. is accustomed TO
the saddle that fall. The colt learns
that no harm Is meant him, and Is
usually gentle. Thin he Is led around
the track day after day until the time
comes for mounting, when a boy Is
put upon his back and he Is first
walked, then trotted, then galloped
over the track, going faster as his
strength and power increase. His
first real run is three.eights OF a mile,
when some idea OF his speed is OBJ
tanned. For a kind attendant he will
do his utmost.
I'm many cases horses are intensely
nervous before a race and lose their
appetites. To a high.strung animal
this Is not conducive to good results.
They are dieted, or drawn as it is
called, though not as much as of old.

A bell rang. II was the signal that

as in a dream, he passed into that
great unknown.
Jane did not return to England.
Months and years passed. She re-
ceived tender letters from Capt. Wash.
ington, full of devotion to her, to his
country, and telling of his promotion
to the rank of colonel.
In the spring of 1871 Jane sat near
rance of tea and cloth-of-gold roses,
and watching the many-hued humming
birds, as they fitted about, slipping
sweet refreshment alike from the
poisonous trumpet flower and the coral
honeysuckle. The deep blue of the
sky, the bright sunshine and a gentle
breeze made a perfect day. Yet Jane
was sad. She had not recently heard
either from or of her lover.
She was startled by the opening of
the g2te, and looking up, recognized
Col. Tarleton, a British officer, though
he wore the garb of n civilian.
Miss Elliott he said, standing near
the window, you do not know how
delighted ! am to see you"
Are you just returned from the

Are you in earnest? What can a
rebel of the worst type be to you?
Besides, | hear he Is so illiterate he
cannot write his own name"
You have been misinformed," said
Jane coldly. AT n rate glancing
at his hands, "he can make his mark"
Col. Tarleton frowned. So she
knew that Washington had, by a
stroke of his saber, cut off two of his

horses bride in an attempt to make
him a prisoner.

A Tiny Shoe.

They found him by the roadside dead.
A ragged tramp unknown;
His face upturned I'm mute despair,
His helpless arms out-thrown.
The lark above him sung "A song
or greeting to the day,
The breeze blew fresh and sweet an
stirred
His hair In wanton play.
They found no clcw to home or name,
But tied with IA ribbon blue
They found n package, and 1t held
a baby's tiny shoe.
Half worn and Did, n button Off,
1t seemed n sacred thing;
With reverence they wrapped 1t close
And tied the faded string,
And laid II on the peaceful breast
That kept the secret well;
And GOD will know and understand
The story II will tell

That dead tramp sometime knew,

The shah Of Persia, who received
some months ago from his English
friend the Order OF the Garter, is said
to have the most tired appearance OF
any of the reigning sovereigns. His
eyes are wearied by the sight of every
luxury. During his visit to England

NEXT YEARS MATERIAL.
Most of the Big Foot Ball Teams Carry
Over Good Men.

Harvard Yale, Princeton, Columbia,
Pennsylvania and other leading teams
carry over enough good material to next
year to give promise of a higher grade OF
foot ball than this year. There no
want of good material this year, but not a
team was produced that was the equal of
the champion Yale team of 1902, the cham
pion Harvard team of 1891 or the champion
Yale team of 1900, says the New York Sun
Not one of this years teams had the finish
of those others.
Harvard's good material was not made
the most of and was whipped into shape
too late, while at Yale injuries to valuable
men played a part in the defeat by Prince
ton. A few years back foot ball defense
was better relatively than offense, and the
problem was to develop the offense. The
problem seems to have been solved. At any
rate, offense was stronger relatively than
defense all along the line. The leading fea-
ture of the seasons attack was Harvard s
"four-in-hand," held in reserve for Yale a
torment to Yale for the most part, but stop
ped beautifully when the goal line was in
gravest peril. AS between the two condi-
tons, that in which the offense Is the
stronger means scoring and hence more in
teresting play, but the coaches next year.
while seeking to make the offense as strong
as possible, will doubtless be scheming on
how to stop the ripping tackle-back and
tandem formations with more success than
this year.
Harvard may lose the whole right side
of her line next year the stronger side.
Bowditch has played four years, Knowlton
may not return, and A. Marshall will be
graduated in June. Clother left tackle
will be graduated in June, but will. with
Moyne and Derby, be back. Meier the good
left tackle, will be graduated in June, but
will be eligible If he returns to college Carl

returns. Several good substitute line men
also return, and at Harvard as well as the
other colleges there is always the probabili-
ty of good prep. school material turning
up.
Yale loses from her line only Captain Raj
ferty at left end and Morton, the guard; and
Neal and Hare are two first-class substi-
tutes for end who will return. Shevlin,
Hogan, Kinney, Bloomer, Batcheler Rora-
back and Miller all return, but new mate
rial may crowd some of them to the wall.
Rockwell, the quarterback, has two more
years in college. while Soper, his worthy I'M
derstudy, will be graduated Farmer,
Mitchell and Metcalf backs who will
finish their course this years There will be
left Bowman, Owsley, Hoyt and several
others, Bowman and Hoyt being good
kickers, and two three likely backs who
were not eligible this year. Trip, big line
man from the University of Chicago, also
will be eligible next year.

NEW ORLEANS RACES.
Jockey Thompson Rode His First Win
ner in This Country.

In a rafting, dasking finish George
Thompson, the American jockey who led all
the riders on the French turf this year, won
his first mount in this country since he
went abroad two seasons ago, on Dan Nc
Kenna at the Crescent City Jockey Club
track, New Orleans yesterday afternoon.
Thompson put up grand finish, and it
was through his ability alone that Dan
McKenna secured the decision over
Potheen. He demonstrated that he has i'm
proved 100 per cent in skill since he left
these shores. When he went away he was
scarcely better than a novice had poor
hands and judgment, and did not realize
that the shortest way around the course
was the quickest way home. In his two
seasons on the French turf he has found
out all the essential points that go toward
Jockeys success, and while not finished
horseman in all that the term implies, he Is
at least clever one.
Potheen was the early favorite in the
betting for the fourth race but as paddock
rUnors said that he was sore and stiff he
reCeded in the betting, and a heavy play
developed on Dan Mckenna, who closed
g to choice. Gannon's handling of
Potheen was in sharp contrast to that of
Thompson on the favorite. Thompson
could have won on Potheen had he been
astride of him. Cannon rode one of the
worst races of his career, and lost the race
by making wide turns Thompson saved
and brought Dan McKenna up in time to
win by neck.

SIX DAYS. CYCLE RACE.
Crucial Test to the Raiders Will Come
Within Next "a Hours.

With the great six-day bicycle race at
New York half over1at midnight last night,
those who have followed the form of the
nine teams now tied for the lead are be-
ginning to predict the winning pair. The
crucial test will come within the next
twenty-four hours, and in that period it
will be the team that shows up freshest
and makes a sudden sprint that will come
closest to the coveted honor. At present 1T
looks as if the race will narrow down to
three teams.
Leander and Butler will in all probability
keep their present form, and they will have
to reckon with Bowler and Fisher and the
BedeN boys. The latter are the puzzle of
the Garden and it would not surprise any
one If they suddenly sprinted tomorrow and
left the whole bunch behind. Barclay, who
broke his rib when he was thrown from the
track into box last night, was compelled
tn quit after riding five hours with broken
rib. He tainted after being taken from the
track. md an examination showed that the
rib was actually protruding. How he held
for five hours is a mystery. Franz
