VALUABLE HORSES BURN.

Foxhall Keene Suffers a Heavy Loss at Lexington. Ky. Lexington, Ky., Aug. 29. —The most costly fire known among Blue Grass horsemen since the $50,000 Bell Boy perished in the flames was that which occurred at Castleton, this county, on the farm of Foxhall Keene, of New York, at 6:30 o’clock yesterday. Mr. Keene, had just erected a $2,500 stallion stable, in which he kept imp. Killicrates. Tournament, Hyder Abad St. Leonards, and Chorister. The groom who fed them at 5 o’clock, threw the stump of a lighted cigarette into a pile of straw near the stall of Kallicrates. A few minutes after he left the building took fire, and the groom who attends to the stallions rushed in to save them. They succeeded in saving Tournament, Chorister, and St. Leonards, but the other two perished.
