and Racing association OF between
800 and 400 Of the best race horses
in the country for winter training. A
number Of strings, among them the
Sanford, McComber and Carmen sta
b;es, have signified their intention Of
spending the winter training season
at the local track. A conservative
estimate OF the amount of money
that this would bring to the city 10
between 100000 and $4,000. In
addition the people of the city would
have the pleasure of viewing some Of
the finest horse flesh in America.
If all this comes about as is ex-
pected. it is due to the winning OF the
first two places in the Kentucky
Derby at Louisville by George Smith
and Starhawk, two horses who had
their winter training in Charleston at
the local track. This event, which is
the premier among racing events in
the country, was run off last Satur-
day. Twelve of the finest horses In
America, it is stated. were the par
Elephants. George Smith belongs to
the Sanford stables and Starhawk,
who ran his first race in America in
the Derby, belongs to the McComber
stables.
