not,” Celebration Manager Sam Gibbons said Sunday as he left for his home in Athens, Ala.
Taking the championship trophy in this event was the veteran W. T. Baynard of Baton Rouge, La., who has taken many titles before— a real estate man twice as old as Fred Turner— riding Tombstone. Baynard rides throughout the year in practice, Fred has ridden only since college vacation began— as he is a freshman at the University of Texas. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. J. Glenn Turner. Young Turner’ s victories sent Circle T Ranch into first place among all the stables in a boxscore of ribbons won— and a point score based upon performance. Circle T has far more entries than any other stable, bringing 13 horses to the Celebration.

" Yes. I rode Roan Allen F-38 to school many years ago.'’ J. French Brantley of W art race. R. 1. to’ d President Arnold llabg of W. IF. K ' m ball Piano Co., Jasper, Ind., during a Celebration visit. Brantley enthralled rhe induslralist with his eyewitness account ol the death of Roan Allen— k: lled by his own master— the late Jines R. Bran’ ley— after the horse suffered a broken leg ichen kicked by another horse at age 22. Brantley told Habig " neighbors said to shoot the horse but my father said ' nobody can shoot this horse— and nobody can hit him a more loving lick than I can,’ so Dad put a gunny sack over Roan Allen’ s head and hit him icith a sledge hammer.” Mrs. Habig and the Ilabig children, Barbara and Doug, are also shown. Habig and associates several years ago bought the 105-year-old Kimball Piano Co., moved plants from Chicago to Jasper, and located two in Tennessee. Habig, a newcomer to the Tennessee Walking Horse business, is rapidly developing an outstanding stable in Indiana, near the. Tennessee state line.
" I believe I can make a go of the Tennessee Walking Horse business and operate a sizable stable as a business— not as a hobby.” Newspaper Publisher Carmage Walls( center) of Lakeside Farms, Guntersville, Ala., told Celebration Vice- President William L. Parker( right) and Celebration Secretary Phil J. Scudder at the Scudder box. Walls is president of Southern Newspapers, Inc., an organization associated with 18 daily newspapers and semi-weeklies in territory ranging from South Carolina to Texas. Walls started to abandon his Tennessee Walking Horse Stables last December— changed his mind— and now owns 60 horses, including 23 broodmares. His Go Boy’ s Big Talk placed ninth in the Aged Stallion Class preliminary to the Grand Championship Stake but did not participate in the stake. His Go Boy’ s Millionaire also showed in the Stallion Class to make Lakeside Farms apparently the only stable with two entries ridden in this event, although o’ ~’ 7 * ad two horses originally entered.
