II you trot in the right class.
There In one thing / miss since the old
time days, and that Is horse / have
got great respect for horse. Did you
ever think how near horse
is to- human being in point
OF intelligence? There are nervous horses,
and steady, honest equines. There
are also lazy horses which need prodding.
Horses that travel on their shape and
style-horses that make q bluff, they look
well, prance about, but they couldn't pull
pound over the regulation weight or
trot mile in decent time.
DO you remember the old horse mart
over on the Cove lands? lido. thought
of these things the other day when my
attention was attracted by Ahearn's
advertising wagon with its rub ba- dub
dub OF the drum the other side Of the
cloth sign.
1t said on the sign that the stable was
at 1876, 138 and 140 Dorrance street. I lust
happened around there and called for Mr..
Ahearn. told him right on the start
that I didn't want to buy horse-not
the stalls. There were ell kinds, drivers,
saddlers, trotters, PAGERS, coachers. All
colors, grays, blacks and bays.
There is one thing you can bank on
when you do business with Ahearn senior
or Ahearn junior. You get Just what you
pay for. II they tell you the horse
is OF such pedigree, kind,
gentle, q good worker, you can wager
that Is not horse talk, but that IL Is 90.
Auction sales and exchanges take place
every Thursday and Saturday mornings
at 10:30. A branch stable is located 1t Ia
and IS Prison street, Newport. 1t is well
stocked with horses for that very particu-
lar market.
Just bear these facts In mind when you.
contemplate the purchase of horses either
for pleasure, business, or as an invest
ment.
