the Hammer.

the Hammer.
The Bitter Root stock farm founded
by the late Marcus Daily will soon be
a thing of the past. With the pass
ing of Mr.. DAILY. whose name was
synonymous with the best associa-
tions of the turf his several strings
of speed horses will be sold at pub
lie auction early in January.
The Bitter Root stock farm was op-
Grated on such a scale that there is
no one to fill the place now vacant,
and the loss which the lovers of gen
tlemanly sport sustain in Mr.. Daly's
death is emphasized by the announce
ment of the dispersal sale of all the
speedy stations, mares and colts now
in the spacious stables near Hamil-
ton.
Within 60 days the stables that
have SO long been the scene of such
activity will be boarded up and the
former occupants will have been scat
tered among many ownerships
Mr.. DAILY owned many kings and
queens of the turf and he has per-
haps done more for the promotion Of
true sport than any American His
stables were known far and wide and
as the result of a life time interest
he possessed the finest stables in
this country. His prize winners
were almost too numerous to mention
but among the stations are Hamburg,
Tammany, Ogden, Montana, lnver-
ness and scores of others.
The 124 speedy mares, stations and
colts now at the Bitter Root stables
will be sold at public auction in New
York about the last of January at the
sale stables of Fasig-Tipton company
The event will attract devotees OF
horse racing from all parts of the
globe. Besides the Bitter Root farm
horses, several of Mr.. Daly's speed
lest stations are now at the Milton
Young stock farm near Lexington,
KY, and will be included in the sale
Two trains will be required to
transfer the stock across the contin
ent. The first train will carry the
brood mares, 100 in number, all win
ners in their days, former queens OF
the turf. all the pick of the best on
two continents. This train will pre-
ceed the other by about two weeks
and will probably leave Hamilton
near the first of the year.
In charge of this train will be DR.
Hagyard, while the animals will be
cared for on their journey by the reg
ular force of the breeding department
