FIRE AT RACING STABLES
TWO TROTTERS PERISH. DAMAGE ESTIMATED AT )£2400. The loss of two racehorses and damage estimated at £2400 was caused when Mr. Claude Kennedy’s big stables in Hobart were gutted by fire on March 29. The cause of the fire is a mystery. Three trotters were rescued from adjoining loose boxes five minutes before they were reached by flames from the main building. Two trotters in the stables proper could not be rescued, and they perished in the flames. They were a five-year-old colt recently registered as a trotter, Joscelyn, by Emilius out of Merveline, a direct descendant of Gold Lace, a New Zealand importation; and an unnamed young colt, unregistered.
