1 ..:;; w.14-.1 K-iiKi - EAST INTERESTED IN C0RRIGAN SALE Prominent Now Yorkers Will Attend Livingston Winters Large Stable in Kentucky. New York, December 29. The Corrigan dispersal sale, which takes place in Lexington, Ky., January 15, is attracting widespread attention among eastern horsemen, and lnany have expressed their intention of being on hand when the notable collection of thoroughbreds are placed under the hammer. Most of these will endeavor to pick up bargains. One prominent tnrfman who will make the trip is Angernon Daingerfield. He will not go as a buyer, but to make arrangements for the future home of his mother and sister. Jefferson Livingston will head another group. "I have picked out a few horses I intend to bid on." said he. "I never heard of a sale that offered so many attractive opportunities for investment, and while the season selected for the Fale is not a good one, it would not surprise me to see some of the horses bring top prices." Mr. Livingston has forty-eight horses wintering at Douglas Park, and ten others on his farm. One division will be shipped east in the spring, and the remainder held over for the Kentucky meetings. "The size of the contingent sent to the east will largely depend upon shipping facilities." said Mr. Livingston. "If the railroads are badly congested, it is possible that the Kentucky tracks will be allotted additional racing dates, as it will be necessary to hold many horses in that section that otherwise would have been raced on eastern tracks." Mr. Livingston has arranged to place his western stable in charge of Mose Goldblatt, while W. Covington will handle the eastern division. Asked why he did not race a few horses in New Orleans, Mr. Livingston replied that he did not believe in sending bad horses there, and he Avanted the good ones in Kentucky and New York. "Bad horses do not pay expenses even on winter tracks," said he. "If you will look over the horses that are now at the old New Orleans track, you will see that many of them are thoroughbreds that can win anywhere. There are a numlier of real good horses now stabled at the Fair Grounds waiting for the old track to ojhmi up."
