An inspection of Hawthorne and Sportsmans Park tracks revealed that there were few horses left and those remaining were awaiting confirmation relative to stable reservations from the prospective points to which they plan to ship. One freight and two express cars constituted the shipments that got away for the South. The most prominent of those that went was the stable of O. L. Foster, who shipped the following ten: Out Bound, Get Ready, Spero, Winnie Jo, Murmuring Pines, Gypsie Chief, Our Doctor, Infinitus and one yearling. Others in this car were Blair Mock, with Noon Play; G. Vuillemot, with Sid Lea; Charlie Cherry, with Aregal, and W. R. "Bobbie" Ware, with Serving Lad. The other express car conveyed the horses of R. "B. Steele, who loaded Curmudgeon, Elkhart, Step Liz, Dandy Dan, Full Up, Allegretto and Aurebon. F. E. Fitzgerald, who had reservations in the same car, took Parade Rest, Joe Macaw, Lady Menifee and Phantasime. The latter was recently purchased by Fitzgerald from Ben Rosenheim. J. W. Frye completed the car when he sent Ormohtime, Hazel Denson, High Pockets and Oh Gee, a two-year-old, which he bought from P. Flaherty before" leaving. Those that chose to ship by freight were J. Manale and Mrs. L. L. Schurman. The former had six head, of which Burgoo is the best performer. The others of the Manale string were Jargon, Golflex, Sunny Sideup, Mildred Watkins and W. J. Balmer, which Manale acquired from A. Pelleteri before the latter shipped South. Following are the horsemen that plan to ship to New Orleans Friday or Saturday: F.

The wintry weather which has prevailed in this vicinity has caused trainer R. T. Watts to change his plans and instead of remaining for a few weeks he will send one division of his stable to New Orleans Saturday. They are the property of different owners, of which Mrs. E. Denemark will have six, headed by the consistent Pigeon Hole, which she claimed the last day of the Sportsmans Park meeting. The other five are Swtich, Water Port, Alcove, Bess Cloi, Panchio and a yearling named Mamie D., which is a sister to the good mare, Martha D., which ended her turf career in such a tragic manner when she was killed almost instantly through a fall in the closing stages of her last engagement. Jockeys T. P. Martin and E. Neel will accompany this shipment. Watts plans to send eleven others to Havana in charge of A. C. Niehaus, but this shipment will be deferred until a later date.
