THOROUGHBREDS iOLD. Twenty-nine thoroughbreds, brought from England recently, were sold at auction in the American Horse Exchange, New York, Tuosdaylnight. They were consigned by Douglas H. Grand of Becken-ham, Kent, England, and all except four are English bred. These four are American-bred horses and were sent to England when yearlings. They have been fairly successful, and one of them, Omaha IL, by Watercress, was the star of the sale, bringing ,000. Mr. Grand conducted the sale himself, and occasionally he got mixed in the bids, calling guineas instead of dollars. His way of telling about the horses was a little confusing. When the yearlings were sold he announced that not one had been "backed," meaning that they were untried. The yearlings were the first lots disposed of. A black colt by Kilwarlin was bought by W. Lakeland for ,650. L. V. Bell gave ,500 for a bay colt by Sir Hugo, the Derby winner, out of a St. Simon mare. The sixteen yearlings averaged 53. Ten horses in training were sold and they brought 0,175. H. M. Ziegler was a big buyer, securing six. The Rancocas Stud got itxo lowest priced horse in tho sale, a two-year-old filly by Kilwarlin, for 00. Eight stallions were catalogued, but only three were sold. Good Morning, by Gallinule, was bid up to ,900 and then withdrawn. Tanzmeister, by Saraband, was next offered but only 50 was bid and he followed Good MorniDg. Resolute II., a son of the Australian stallion, Trenton, was withdrawn after ,600 had been bid. Brood mares and weanlings will be sold tonight. The sales wore : yearlings.
