BLOW TO BELMONT STABLE Trainer Feustel Is Incapacitated and Ordered to Take a Long Rest. SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y., August 29. Misfortunes have not come singly to tho August Belmont stable. It was bad enough to have to throw a colt like Messenger out of training, but now the stable is without a trainer. Louis Feustel has had another breakdown and has bees ordered to take a complete rest. Adolph Pons has been up from New York for some days and today he sent the horses in training back to Belmont Park, while the yearlings will remain here in the care of Louis Tauber. The horses will be trained and fill their engagements through the fall season, but the loss of the services of Feustel will make necessary the appointment of another trainer. This selection has not yet been made. It is particularly unfortunate that the stable should have such a handicap just when the chairman of the Jockey Club had come back to the sport with such an eligible band of two-year-olds. Feustel will return to his home at Queens tomorrow, but he will have to go away to recuperate before he will be in a condition to again take active part in the training of the horses. His breakdown came from his returning to his duties before he was entirely recovered from his serious illness early in the year. For the time being George Odom, who trains the Robert L. Gerry string will supervise the training of the horses of the chairman of the Jockey Club.
