FINE HORSES
PASTIME STAIII.ES ABANDONED
AFTER A MOST SUCCESSFUL
TRAINING SEASON — STABLES
TO BE ENLARGED NEXT YEAR.
(From Thursday’s Dally.)
The horses belonging to the Pas
time stables which have been In
training here at their winter quar
ters, at the Old Fair Grounds, will
be shipped tonight to Lexington.
Kentucky.
These horses are owned by a
Cleveland, O., Syndicate and are
under the management of W. J. An
drews, the well-known trainer.
In leaving Tnomasvllle, Mr. An
drews expresses himself as delight
ed with It as a wintering place for
horses, and considers It the best In
this country. There has not been a
day during the whole winter when
the horses could not be taken out
for exercise, and they are all in fine
condition. The only objection that
can be found is the need of a mile
track for practice, and that, it Is
hoped, will be remedied before an
other winter.
