Thomas has reason to be proud 1 of the prices brought by his crop of yearlings s which was sold by The Fasig-Tipton Company * v in New York Wednesday. The average was the e best of the year so far and in two instances the e bidding was of the sensational order. Of these e two eases Morning Telegraph says : "Dr. MacBrides colt, out of Quesal, was No. . 4 in the catalogue, and with his dam having already j. produced nothing out winners— and such n winners as Maximo Gomez, David II., Trumpet it andTommyAtkins — the competition for this well i] proportioned and robust colt was certain to be strong. The result shows that this expectation was fully realized, although there appeared to be only two bidders in the race when the pace became strong. Started at ,000, an advance of 00 saw Julius Bauer raise the quotation to ,500, at which Captain S. S. Brown, seated in the front row and leaning against one of the supporting poles of the tent, offered ,000. Almost directly behind Captain Brown sat Mr. Bauer, at whose right was Mr. Arthur Featherstone, evidently determined upon the purchase of another juve-[ nile. The duel between these two interests saw rapid offers of 00 by each until Captain Brown reached ,000, where there were successive ad-I vancesof 00, 00 and 00. until Mr. Bauers ,500 remained unchallenged. "The silence which ensued just as Mr. Easton appeared to be on the verge of dropping the hammer was now quickly turned into general 1 hilarity by the impetuous advice of Michael [ Clancy to James Rowe, shouted across the ring , in a characteristic Jimmy, go on there. De- spite this exhortation from the former owner of Maxy, the trainer of Tommy Atkins did not see fit to take a hand in the bidding, and the 1 colt was quickly added to the select youngsters who are to serve the canary and black of Mr. • Featherstone. "If the preceding scenes had been sensa- - tional, the incidents connected with the dis- posal of the next lot promised equal develop- - ments, for here was a well balanced, short-backed, - muscular bay colt, withal a most at- ■ tractive walker, by Hanover, out of a full sister • to Domino. The opening bid of ,000 was cou- - siderably less dashing than had been the case I with the Quesal colt, but ere long the offers ; were mounting at a rate which brought a bid of e ,000 from Mr. M. Murphy. For a moment this threatened to be the limit, but Trainer Matt Allen, standing near the rear of the deep » circle of the gathering, midway of the tent, re- uewed the battle with an advance of 00. Mr. . Murphy, standing well to the rear on Mr. Eas-: • tons left, calmly nodded an affirmative to the i request for an ,500 bid, however, and the sue- cessive offers of ,000, ,500 and 0,000 found [ the colt knocked down to Mr. Allen at the latter ■ figure amid a round of applause. "Of the remaining lots, trainer Thomas i Welsh, acting for the Messrs. Fleischmann, , secured the bay colt by Dr. MacBride, out of ! Hirlight, a whole colored bay, for ,100, well I within his value, while the beautifully bred I filly out of Sissieretta, looking for all the world I c I 9 i, s a f , • c 1 s * v e e e . j. n it i] like Correction in her younger days, was probably very cheap to Mr. Tipton at 50. "As will be seen by the appended summary. the sale resulted in the aggregate total of 6,200, representing the creditable and satis- , factory average of ,183 : Brown colt, by Dr. MacBride— Alabana, bv Himyar ; M. Murphy ,000 I Bay colt, by Dr. MacBride— Annul, by i Himyar; R. W. Walden 350 i Bay colt, by Dr. MacBride— Quesal, by Himyar ; A.
