AFFECTED BY THROATTROUBLE Sale of Saddle Horses at Tattersalls Carried On Without President William J. Treacy. LEXINGTON, Ky., April 1. William J. Treacy, president and manager of the Kentucky Sale Company, operating Tattersalls barns and conducting sales of trotters and saddle horses, principally, at Lexington, is very ill in St. Josephs Hospital. He suffered a peculiar paralysis of the throat last week, which did not affect his speech, but has prevented his taking solid food. The sale of saddle horses this week was completed without his presence, his son Rogers Treacy having substituted as manager. The sick man is widely known as an expert on light hon e blood lines and is the eldest son of the late B. J. Treacy, a leading breeder of both runners and trotters forty-five to fifty years ago. Cromwell Blood Stock Agency announced today the purchase by W. E. Caskey from Miss Elizabeth Daingerfield of the yearling bay colt, by Flying Heels Plaid, also of the winners Tartan, Scotch Soldier, Stuart Plaid, Tartan Betsey, Belle K. and Rebel Flag, by Wrack.
