" At the Old Fair Grounds the Three Fine Animals -are Burled Jo Phil lips Saw Them All Die George Starr , Myrtle and His Own , Comet , IFiotu Wi'tlnesdnv's Dallv.l The thrio ! dead thoroughbreds Oeorge Starr , Myrtle Do Y'Annol and Conii't which were cremated In their stable on North Tlilrd street In the llro of Monday night , wore ono liy ono tenderly carried to tlio'old fairground yesterday afternoon and burled , tin- three In one great grave , near to the mound of earth which entombs Sur prise , the fast little horse which raced in Norfolk more than a dozen years ago and which , after winning a hard race , dropped dead beneath the wire. From the mound of ashes whch filled their box stalls In the ruined barn- the three blooded animals , which only a day before had been alive and spirited and apparently happy and which had pranced in harness upon the streets , were drawn forth , loaded on a drav wagon and given a funeral such as many a man foils to get. George Starr , Myrtle , Comet , George Starr , the handsome black pacing stallion which was the pride of 1' . J. names , was the first of the cremated racers to be pulled from the stall. After his remains had been taken to the old fair grounds , the burying ground being tendered by A. .1. Dufland , the one tlmo pretty Myr tle , the little driving horse owned by C. If. Vail , was given the same ride. And last of all came the corpse of the speedy young Comet , the joy of his heart to Jo Phillips , the owner. One by one the horses were carried a mile away , in a dray and after the last drive had been made the three owners , Mr. Barnes , Mr. Vail and Mr. Phillips , together with W , O. Hall , for mer owner and first owner of Comet , followed the pitiful procession pit ! ful to them because the high strung , line coated animals , with all of their intelligence , meant almost as much as one of the family ; pitiful to the looker- on because of the thought of the hors es of quality dying a death of such torture and cruelty. All in One Grave. And out there at the old fair grounds a fitting place for the burial of hero horses beside the long dead Surprise , with the owners looking on , the three stablemates and mates In death were lowered , one after another. After the ashes had cooled away yesterday and it became time for the burying of the dead animals , a dray man suggested to the owners that he might haul the horses to the dump pile. " ( icorge Starr , sired by Director , to the dump pile ? " asked Mr. Barnes. "Well , I guess not. No sir. George Starr gets a burial. " "Myrtle to the dump ? " said Mr. Vail. "Well not if I know myself. Not to day. Not yet. Myrtle gets a burial. " "Comet to the dump pile ? " said Mr. Phillips. "Not if I know anything about it. Well I should say not. Not yet. Not Comet. Comet is going to have a burial if it's the last thing she ever gets. " And so it was determined to put them under the earth , all together ; just as they had died , all together all together In a frightfully torturing death. And then , when the drayman started to drag them , each one , with a chain around its neck , the owners rose up in arms again and insisted that they should each be lifted into the wagon and carried. Saw Them All Die. Jo Phillips , owner of Comet , saw the three fine horses die. He was at the fire as soon as anyone and he feels to day that it would have been possible to h.Tve saved the horses If the sides of the barn had been broken in , soon after the alarm went in. He saw George Starr rear up and fight a gamy fight for his life , although imprisoned in a stall that knew no opening. He saw Myrtle , after she had pulled and pulled at the strap which held her head to the manger , finally lie down to get better leverage. There again she pulled and tugged to free her pretty head , but efforts were in vain. And then she dropped her head to rest a moment , rose up to try one last try , saw that It was impossible , surrendered'to the inevitable , fast approaching preaching flame and then , her frame wrapped in the burning redness , with a terrible , painful cry dropped down and died. And he saw , too , his own horse , the horse that he almost lived with dur ing leisure hours , try to fight the flame and lose In the battle. Comet roared and snorted at the fire , leaped at the sides of the stall and then , when he saw no hope , plunge headlong against the front of the manger and break his neck. Norfolk horsemen yesterday put In . a day of mourning at the Irreparable loss. The burned animals were per haps the most popular in the city Everyone knew them. And George Starr , of such fine blood was a worth ) sire for Norfolk horseflesh. Besides the horses and buggies which wore chronicled yesterday , W II. Johnson lost a line little vehicle ii tliojlro.
