| the last myers are HETfNH y II - a
treat to go out there and see the fine
stock as they are being handled by
the jockeys and stable noys. Racers,
PAGERS, runners and trotters are there
in fine trim for the ring. Never be
fore in the history Of Montgomery
county has so much interest been
manifested in fine stock, and never
before in the history of the county
have so many fine animals been to
gether, within its confines, as may
now be seen at Buenaventura Farm.
This is "A pretty broad assertion, but
it is nevertheless true. The Park
Association built twenty new stalls
this fall, and, with this addition to
the number already at the grounds,
it has become necessary to rent TWEEN
ty stalls from the Farm Company.
The stock is coming in daily, and
it embraces some of the best from
Tennessee and Kentucky.
f. G. Guerney, of GalIatin, il out
there with some Of his crack flyers,
namely: Billy Haywood, Gypsy
Queen, Willie Elkins and Josie
Wilkes. Billy Haywood is his
PAGER, and ii takes something abGu.
the size Of Lee III. to down him.
The others are all trotters. These
animals are all in the new stalls a
few rods east of the amphitheatre,
and are beauties.
In the same row of stalls l.. l..
Buckner, of HOpkinsville, has his
two horses, Bachelor and Gilmore.
the former trolter and the latter n
runner. Mr.. Buckner says he has
come over this time to show Clarks
vile that he has some Of the best
stock in this neck Of woods.
p. ii. McNanny, Of Hopkinsville,
and Robert Dixon, of Henderson,
have monopoized the stalls in tn,
lot south Of the amphithcatrc They
have five animals that are entered in
the various rings. Mr.. McNanDy

In addition to this number of fin
animals Mr.. Stuart, Of Evansville,
has his trOtter, Temple Bar, and h's
two acers, Doctor y. and Joe, Oh
the grounds.
T.. a. Collins, of Milan, and G.. Nj
Fogg, of Nashville, also arrived yes
terday with fine string each. They
were accommodated with stalls al
the farm cOmpany's stables. To
swell this splendid array the follow
ing are expected in to-day: Jas. II
anks, of trenton, Ky, with sever
head JnO. V. Eaker, of Pari', with
four head Or. Ben Wood, of Hop.
kinsvillp, with six head; II. II.
Holland, of lIopkinsvillc, with foul
head; Geo. W. Register, Of Ken
nedy, with four head Henry lIern
don, Oak Grove, with four head
DR.. +. G. Anderson, Newstead, with
four head.
Montgomery county will later
swing into line with some of the
finest stock in this section. Gill and
Ragsdale will have eight of their
flyers on the ground Thos. iIern-
don, Barker and Taylor have each
been awarded eight stalls Buena-
ventura Farm Company has Il fine
string, and it is whispered that
Buckner and Dick Ellis have gone
nowhere, if they did have disao-
trous fire. They have recently pur-
chased some good stock from noted
farm in Maine and they are here
ready FIR the ring. rrus'y Boy
(2l0S) by MambrinO Patchen (jS) a
lulI brother to Lady Throne, 2:lSI, is
Il bay stallion purchased by Mr..
Buckner in this lut. He is fine an
imal and may prove Il hard one 10
beat in the trotting ring. Thus it
will be seen that Montgomery is
holding he. own with the other
counties of Tennessee and also of
Kentucky in breeding fine stock.

and that one is caused 10y the ques
