Turkeys are great wanderers. A
mother will often lead her brood three
or four miles away from home. There
they take up their habitation in the un-
frequentcd woods The instinct for sol
itude and wild life is very strong after
centuries of domcStication. But a kin
dred instinct impcls the mother to bring
her grown family back in the fall to
where she started out with them in the
spring. This Is not done, however, till
the leaves are all OFF the trees, the

while In England took precedence of
Scottish peers of the same rank, while
in Scotland this order was reversed,
and the Scottish peers went first.

FUTURITY SEEMS
A ROMP FOR
PETER PAN.

SARATOGA, Aug. 19.-The Futurity,
worth $4,000 this year although nearly
two weeks away. is conceded by turf
men here tonight to one of James r.
Keene's -year-olds, Peter Pan pre-
ferred The great race that this
youngster ran in the Hopeful stakes
yesterday was such II remarkable one
in many respects that 1t has set the
turf world agog- Racegoers agree
that he has only to race up to the
form he displayed in his last race in
order to win in a romp the Sheepshead
Bay Classic. Peter Pan will probably
carry $50 pounds in the Futurity, the
same weight that he carried in such
decisive style when he beat McCarter.
This is the extreme penalty among the
two-year- -olds.
Mr.. Keene's horses will play an i'm
portant part in this years great event
Beside Peter Pan he has Pope Joan
and Grimaldi While Grimaldi is con-
ceded by the railbirds to be the best
horse in trials there Is much against
his chance-he has never started and
the hurly- -burly of a race may prevent
him from showing his best speed. Pope
Joan's defeat by Peter Pan and Nc
Carter should never pe taken too seri-
ously. She was stiff and sore and not
within twenty-five pounds of her true
self. The last stumbling block out of
Peter Pans path for the great prize
was seemingly removed yesterday when
Water Pearl was announced as an inn
probable starter.

NEW YORK, Aug. 19.-Michael, F.
Dwyer, the heaviest and for sixteen
years the most successful turf plunger
the American race world has ever
known, died this afternoon in his home
In Gravesend avenue, Brooklyn, of cry
slpelas. For five years he had been
paralyzed from the waist down, follow
ing an apoplectic stroke, which he suf-
fered after his return from disastrous
trip to Europe with string of racers,
on which he was accompanied by Rich
ard Croker
For the last ten days Mr.. Dwyer had
been confined to his bed, but his death
was unexpected. His youngest daugh-
ter, Margaret, was at his bedside. His
son, Charles Dwyer, and a daughter,
Mrs. John Morton, hurried home from
Saratoga last night,
From 1878 to 1894 Michael F. Dwyer
was the foremost figure on the Ameri-
can turf. He and his brother. "Phil''
Dwyer, in partnership until 1890,
owned horses which won all the great
prizes of that time and which became
the slres and gTandsires of the most
famous racers of the last fifteen years.
In 1888 Michael Dwyer was worth
easily s1,000,000. He owned a residence
In Brooklyn and a hotel and winter
place on the Indian River in Florida.
Five years later he was broke.
For f1ye years Mr.. Dwyer had sat in
chair or in buggy at the track and
watched the races without having a
financial interest in them
