RACERS AT AUCTION. At Morris Park Saturday there was a paddock sale of horses in training from the stables of J. R. Keene, F. P. Keene, J. W. Schorr, J. H. McCormick and a few other well-known breeders and trainers. It was a lively sale. Although it meant for the sellers only a fall weeding-out of their stables, the bidding was as brisk as often it is in midwinter in the heart of the city. The highest price paid was ,600 for that good two-year-old of the Schorr stable, Eddie Busch. He was bid in by J. H. Carr after a Bharp sortie by would-be purchasers. J. G. Lyman paid ,000 for Unmasked. The sale was managed by the Fasig-Tipton Company. Following are prices and purchasers : Property of J. R. and F. P.
