Frank II. Walker, of Indianapolis, Ap-
pointed Starting Judge at Fleetwood. {
Condition of the Local Horse Market-Ship-
ments to the East Become Lighter
Mr.. Jewett Has Not Retired.

On Aug. % the great trotting meeting at
Fleetwood, In the East. begins and Indian
apolIs turf circles have been honored In
the select ion of Frank II. Walker as
starter. New York paper. in speaking of
the selection, says: MIR. Walker 10 by all
odds the best and fairest starting judge in
the business, and though two or three of
the club members could give efficient
service in that capacity. 1t was felt to put
O local man in such an onerous position
would be likely TO arouse great deal of
adverse sentiment"
A report hos been circulated that w. G.
Jewett. the breeder, of New York. whose
meeting, is about TO abandon the business.
Mr.. Jewett says in regard to the matter:
II am not dlsgusted with the business of
breeding trotters and pacers. On the on
trary, ! am very much fascinated with IL
and would rather engage in lt than any
thing else / know Of have not aban.
doned it, nor is ~ my intention to do SO at
present For private reasons of my own l
Intend TO carry on my breeding farms upon
@ very much smaller scale. On general
business principles ordered my sta
BILE TO return TO the farm. and as /
all / will explain why. although. under or.
dlnary circumstances, lwould not think of
mentioning It. As falsely presented IL
reflects on my stock breeding and misrepre-
sents my own character. The older divi.
sion of horses, in charge Of j. e. Curry. not
being In proper condition to compete where
they were entered, were ordered home TO
be got into form again. They were all
right when they left Nashville to 90 to
Indianapolis. and. excepting one. were
acting well. and ready to perform in q
hrst-class manner In any company. They
got out of form after leaving Rushville. and
the why and the wherefore are not of pub
lilo interest. but affect me personally. and 1t
Is of course matter of great regret and
chagrin. The younger or colt division. in
charge of L. Z. Nov Ney. were In the main IN
very good form. going fast and all right In
every way. but In these days of phenom-
email speed did not consider them quite
fast enough to win at Buffalo and Chicago.
There was q fair chance for them to WIN ct
either of these meetings. perhaps, but /
consider that IL they; did win they
would have to go very hard races and 1t
would be better to call halt and start
later on. more especially the older
division, in charge of Mr.. Curry, had to be
retired temporarily and the trainer dis
missed. When the stables are started
again they will be united and handled by
one man. Mr.. MoVey. who. having been
course. be preferred. i decided before the
present trotting season opened that would
hold another public sale some time be-
tween the close of the present season and
the opening of the trotting In 1894, and /
have seen no reason for q change of mind
on this subject" -
