Bunch of Youngsters Destined
To Make a High
Record.
0. L. ALLEN IN FULL CHARGE.
Grand Stand Nearly Completed
But Other Work On
Hand.

If you want to see something
worth while go out to the fair
grounds some morning about 8
o'clock, when trainer Allen is devel-
oping the petted beauties in horse
flesh. There were ten of them out
there last Tuesday morning and half
a dozen more were expected to be in
during the week.
D. L. Allen has taken full control
of the stock to be trained for the
fair which begins Tuesday, October
q, and continues through the week,
with exhibitions each night.
1t is a busy place out there and
will continue so until the opening
day. A large force is working on
the grand stand and in a few days
more it will be completed. There
are two main entrances to the
grounds, one on the pike for vehicles
and one on the |. C. side track
There are 107 stalls for the horses
being trained and those that will
come here for exhibition from other
places.
Mr.. Allen has devoted his whole
life to training stock. He is from
the South and at Gallatin, Tenn,
handled some of the best stock
owned by w. D. Green, VIM. eros
and other men whose horses are
known everywhere.
John White, the expert trainer for
Williams & Radford for many years,
much to the regret of local stock
men, gave up training last Monday.
Mr.. White did not want to do this,
but as the best man on his farm
threw up his job, Mr.. White had to
quit the track and give all his atten-
ton to his farm.
By the way, one of the prettiest
| little animals that will be seen dur
ing the fair will be his model pony,
Magic Light" Judges of horse
flesh say that Magic Light is the
hands mest, fastest and most per-
fectly formed po1y ever seen in this
end of the State. We have been
told that Magic Light has shown
speed that is really surprising in a
pony, and under continuous training
what may b. acquired is problemati-
cal.
James Carter's blood bay, 6 year
old gelding is out there and is being
put through a course of training for
entry during the fair. Johnnie
Jones" was sired by Clay, some of
whose colts have made mile in less
than 2:l0. He was bred at Lancast-
er. N. H. His dam was Roxie Ali
ton.
| When you see Thos. w. Garnett's
2-year old stallion you will see one
of the prettiest youngsters your
eyes have rested upon. He was
sired by Vice Commodore, dam
Black Wave; she by Directogo. This
young stallion is Is hands / inch
high, beautiful brown color and has
already developed marvellous speed
for his age.
You will go into raptures over
Miss Caroline, the high-bred queen.
She is as pretty as a picture and as
cleaned limbed as a deer. She is the
property of Walter Trice AID out OF
Mary Hogan, once owned by Col. j.
III. Douglass, of Anchorage, KY,
Having cost him $1,000. She is now
the property of Mr.. Trice. She has
a record of 2:l7A. Miss Caroline
was sired by Vice Commodore, owned
by John +. Madden, of Lexington
Ky. She is a blood bay, is h nds
Inch high. One glance at Miss Caro-
lime will convince anybody that she
is of royal blood. She ia the very
poetry Of horse movement, her feet
are small and her ankles are not
larger than the wrists Of an average
sized man. She has already shown
wonderful speed, and for a 2 yeal
old filly, in looks, action and viva
city is a perfect model Of a Ken
