A STRING OF HORSES
THoRoUGHBREDs TO BE QUAR-
 TERED AT RIVERSIDE. gsa9 9.
J. T. Williams of Eminence Ky, to Rehabilitate the old Training Stables With Some
 Good Runners.

In few days the once famous race track at Riverside Park will awaken 10 something of it's former glory in the good old days when Walter Palmer. Tom Hayes and other owners had something over lVu head of the best thoroughbred horses of tho South and West winteripg there.
 I. T Williams of Eminence, Ky, who was in Montgomery at the last Exposi- lion held at Riverside, with stable of runners. among whom old-timers will re' member Ed Hopper, Tom HoodA and other good ones, will put the numerous bats which have been holding high revel in the old Riverside barns for the past year, out of business. His stable is now at Latonia, but remembering the supern climate and tremendous advantages of Montgomery as winter training resort, he will bring the most promising of his speedy ones here and quarter the bunch at Riverside.
 In the string will be seventeen horses, fifteen unnamed yearlings and couple of valuable 3-year-olds, one of whom Is Phil Finch, prominent candidate for the American Derby. the great Chicago Washington Park classic, this summer. The other 3-year-old Is valued at $25,OOO. and will be quite the most valuable thor oughbred ever quartered at the track, Cresceus, in the harness line along being the most valuable.
 Mir Williams is now in New Orleans sizing up the prospects of the winter meeting there, and will reach Montgom- cry from the Crescent City Sunday morn ing to make preparations for the recep- tion of his horses next week.
 It is whispered that he has designs on the New Orleans races and within the next two months will uncork good thihe down there with one of the youngsters who will receive his education at River side. He has owned some speedy ones in the past. among whom were Check mate, Bob Miles. Joe Cotton, Old Cloct- mer, the best mudder that ever raced, and a number of lesser lights, Checkmate be- ing sold te the Dwyers for S25O0O. ~S
 His friends claim that his present str3ne Is about the best he has ever gotten to. gether and local lovers of horsefiesh may have a chance of watching the perform ance of some future champions of the Western running turf.

Il ELks' BALL.
The Royal Purple Affair, was the MOST
Elaborate Ever Seen at the
Montezuma.

The fifth anniversary of the Organi-
cation of Las Vegas Lodge No. 4O8,
b. p. .. T., was celebrated last eve.
ming by a grand public ball and BAN
quet at the Montezuma hotel pavilion.
For days society had been looking
in feverish expectancy toward the ce-
LIBERATION, IN some time before the
springs rain started in the evening
streets we're lined with gaily attired
ladies' and well groomed gentlemen
vending their way toward the Santa
Fe depot.
The Santa Fe company had added
an extra coach the usual springs
train. yet with this precaution, when
the bell rang for starting at $3.50
there was scarcely standing room
for the large crowd, ever the plat
forms being used.
A careful count on the train gave
262 passengers. which with those who
took the earlier trains, and the
springs contingent augmented the
crowd of merrymakers to at least 300.
Upon the arrival of the train at the
springs depot a myrid of colored
lights were set off along the path up
10 the grand hotel, which together
with the thousands of incandescents
of the hotel made a most magnificent
and inspiring glow in the otherwise
inky darkness and 1T the I pedestrians
way to the pavilion as though
myriad Of meteors, had descended e
shed their lights in; honor of the
event. ~,.a
The grand pavilion al most taste

while in the fore of the stage
large clock dial with hands pointing
to the hour of II, faced the dancin,
floor, to remind all Elks of the mos
sacred hour of the order.
The strains Of the grand marcl
struck up at $50 prompt and n,
