All of the fast trottins horses OF
Capt T. E. WeLes are now in Mont
gCmery under training for the fall
races Those that were shipped from
Pensacola this week are Jim Grow
Billy A, and TraveIIessO. Geraldine
was shipped from Pa-atka the latter
part of the week. The horses are
there now in charge Of Williams 4
Whitehead. who will train them pre-
viOus 10 going on the southern cir
cult the first of August The first
meet will be held at Fayetteville

Captain Wetles takes great pride in
the welfare of his horses and looks
forward to much good work in the
coming seasons RACES. Geraldine has
for the past few weeks been under
going preliminary training at PaIatka
and the captain is in great spirits over
her form. He was asked if there
was any possible chance that Pensa.
cola might be included in the circuit
for the coming season.
AS things are now" he said:
''5here is no possible way for the town
to get racing time on the circuit We
have no track, and it is not p0Ssib, e
that one will be built soon. If there
was at this City good stable and
race course. there is no doubt but thar
Pensacola would be visited each sea
son, as regularly as Nashville, or any
of the larger cities in the middle
south.
IF we had the proper accOmmoda-
tiOns for fine stock, I believe that
there would be from 300 TO 500 of the
soUth's finest race horses winter here
each season. What better advertise
ment would the town want? At Selma
there are at Yeast 300 horses each sch
son. and if Pensacola had the same
good accommodations for thorough
breds | believe the owners would send
their horses to the Deep Water City
instead of to the interior towns"
