NO SICKNESS AT MONTGOMERY PARK. Memphis, Tenn., November 24. The dispatches sent out from Cincinnati to the effect that "five of the best of Fred Cooks yearlings, quartered at Memphis, were reported at the point of death with catarrhal fever" are incorrect. "As a matter of fact, Cooks yearlings are not here and arefnot booked for any reservation," said Superintendent Weimhold today. The report of the prevalence of catarrhal fever here among the horses has caused many telegrams to be sent from prominent owners asking if the report were true. There is no disease among the horses at Montgomery Park.
