pHEN1cIE YET IN THE RING.
A Good Stock and Many More New
Goods now in Transit.

J. w. Phenicie wishes to an
nounce that his stock is complete
in all departments, but that very
large additions will be made in the
near future. He is now able to
meet the wants of all customers,
but will soon have far greater
variety to choose from. Hence he
asks that you do not be in hurry
to buy, but wait until his new
goods arrive and you cannot but
be pleased both with the goods
and prices. just go slow about
buying for few days until those
big invoices arrive.

Fine and Fast Horses on the Rocky
Ford Fair Ground.

A few days since we paid visit
to George Davis, the veteran turf
man and horse trainer, at his COM
Portable quarters within the fair
grounds. We found Mr.. Davis
full of business and able to talk
horse with the greatest familiarity
with the subject, evidently being
one of the best posted and most
competent men in his line in the
west. He now has under his care
fourteen fine horses. Most Of
them are in training for the spring
races and county fairs of the COM
ing season. The Rocky Ford fair
grounds afford every facility for
training, having a splendid smooth
track and enjoying climate that
enables Mr.. Davis to "road" his
horses almost every day during
the winter.
The first stable entered contain
ed the jet black stallion, "Boston
Wilkes" He has been superior
trotter but is now a Converted"
horse and will during the coming
season compete for pacing purses.
He is beauty, and is owned by
III. l.. Anderson of Trinidad, who
purchased him at a cost of $2, 200.
Mr.. Davis is banking heavily on
what "Boston Wilkes" will do in
1894.
The next stall entered was that
of the mahogony bay stallion,
"Enoch," five years old, owned by
A. r. Black of Canon City. EN-
och" is a trotter, "green" horse,
but a most promising one.
"Dick Montgomery" came next.
He is bay trotter who has made
a record Of 2:46. He is owned by
Stevenson & Dye Of Rocky Ford,
and is a very fine horse.
j. G. Fox has in training a
splendid four-year-old colt which
has good trotting blood in his
veins,
J. K. Dyes fast PAGER, "Sleepy,"
is spending the winter here under
Mr.. Davis care. He has made n
record of 2:35, but can beat that
time.
And then there is the we'll
known and speedy running mare,
"Lillie d." owned by John David
son of Las Animas.
The two-year-old trotting mare,
"Madame Montgomery" will go
into training next week. She is
owned by Ed. Descent of Rocky
Ford.
The black trotting mare, "Crick-
et," owned by Jo. Wyatt Of Las
Animas is among the horses which
are receiving Mr.. Davis careful
training.
Mr.. Davis speaks most enthus-
iastically of the high bred charac-
ter of two trotting mares, "Ellen
Medium" and "Miss Wilson" He
says they are among the very fin
est blooded horses in the west.
The above list makes an excel
lent showing of superior horses
for a comparatively new country.
Aud the number which have their
winter home in the Arkanas valley
fair grounds indicates that Rocky
Ford is becoming horse center
as well rs the natural capital of
the finest agricultural region in
southern Colorado.
