CONCERNING A FORMER RESIDENT.
In Springfield Republican of recent
date, we notice an article of interest to
the many friends in Walpole of F. A.
Lebourveau. The article is headed,
"Wintering Fast Horses and details
visit to latham Hill to Mr.. Lebourveau' S
stable, which we quote in part thus: ''Mr.
Lebourveau owns all but one of his
horses 1t is his practice to pick them
up late in the fall at the close of the
racing season. If unable to dispose of
them before spring he keeps them and
races them himself. He also makes
speciality of securing matching and fit
ting high-grade readers and carriage
horses The Morris place is an ideal spot
for one of Mr.. Lebourveaus tastes and
pursuits. He bought it last summer and
took possession November 10. 1t COM
priSes or 10 acres of the best farm land,
and is well stocked with fruit of all kinds.
The owner lives in the roomy dwelling
house, near which is situated the stable.
This has been entirely remodeled and
added to, nothing but the shell of the
old structure remaining. Everything is
finished in hard pine. There are six
open and five box stalls, the latter open
ing out of one another, and so into fair
sized yard or incloSure. Harness and
carriage-rooms and office take the rest of
the floor space. At one angle of the
building is situated the driven we'll,
which caused so much comment last fall.
1t is six inches in diameter and bored
60 feet deep, largely through rock, some
of which, rare variety of trap, caused
not little discussion among the geolo-
gists for miles around. The water is
sweet and pure. Altogether about $1,000
has been spent here.
1t is pleasure to go through the
stables and make friends with the horses,
whose small, well shaped heads and in
telligent faces show thorough blood.
Here in the first open stall on the left is
Dexter 81 years old, but still fit for
brush on the snow-path with the best of
them. For years he was king of the
speedway, enjoying an easily kept suprem-
acy. He was timed quarter in 80 sec
onds one winter, when there was speeding
on the ice on the river Charles Hall of
your city bought him when he was a
likely four-year-old. Later he was owned
by p. j. King also of Springfield. He
has been with his present owner for
nine years. He is black Hambletonan.
Farther on is Black Beauty, b. G., who
can show 2.20. He is eight years old
and both speedy and gentle. Edgewood
Boy, the dark bay in the box stall, is a
promising seven-year-old. His dam was
Myrtle Wilkes, his sire Edgewood, who
was by Nutwood. He is expected to go
in 2.15 the coming season. Honest Ben,
the brown horse in the open stall, is a
splendid roader and can go in 2.16.
Both he and Edgewood Boy have been
tried on the st. James avenue speedway
in your CITY, They made good show
ing, but are not yet rounded into shape
for winter work An addition to the
stables from Mr.. Lebourveau establish
ment in New Hampshire will be Fred w.,
five-year-old with a three year-old rec
ord of PA IA and sired by Sherwin,
PIG, from Patchen dam Two vacant
stalls were occupied until recently by
pair of seven-year-old Lamberts. sold to
a man in your city. The two really and
truly boarders of the stable are Shoot, a
brood mare, IL years old, and her four
months-old colt, latham Boy. Shoot
was sired by Bay Wilkes and his dam
Fatty. latham Boy was sired by Madi-
son Wilkes and is thus an inbred Wilke-
sonian. He is dainty little fellow and
should show speed. Both Shoot and
latham Boy are owned by Edward Bel
lows, pay director in the United States
navy, and stationed at Portsmouth, n.
