j j j j THOROUGHBREDS AT AUCTION. In spite of the fact that the attendance was large, the second days sale of the horses in training from the stable of J. B. Haggin turned out to be the poorest of the year. This was no surprise, however, as the twenty-four catalogued were all two-yoar-old fillies, and as a rule fillies do not sell well. Only fourteen of tho twenty-four were sold, tho other ten being passed out without a bid. C. Oxx, Matt Byrnes and A. Garson between them purchased almost every one sold. Byrnes gave the top figure, 50, for Distrust, by Bassetlaw Suspicion, while Oxx paid 25 for Moderate, by Darebin Wi-Ne-Ma. Property of J. B. Haggin : Petty, b. f, 2, by Calvados Cayama; C.
