there is a possibility OF a large fancy horse
farm being located near this city.

some fine animals at the recent show, but
realized that in order to continue the breed
ing of show horses location nearer some
large city and on better transportation lines
was necessity. In a conversation with w.

Union Stock Yards company, Mr.. weirs
remarked he would like to secure a tract
Of ground about twenty acres in extent
where stables and training track could
be located.
Mr.. Weirs realized Lemars was out OF the
way as far as first-class transportation ia
cilities were concerned, and he is casting
about for a suitable location. Mr.. Kenyon
is looking about for a twenty-acre tract OF
ground close to South Omaha with a view
to assisting weirs & Rogers in securing
what they want for a track and stables.
Mr. Kenyon said to a reporter for The Bee
that he would do everything he could to-
ward finding a place that would meet with

the raising and training OF this class Of
horses There is considerable acre prop
erty in the vicinity of South Omaha that
can, II Is thought, be secured without any
great trouble.
