CLOSE OF FASIG-TIPTON SALE. Small Prices Mark the Second Day of the Sale Corrigans Auction Today. Lexington. Ky.. November 21. The Fasig-Tipton Companys ninth annual Kentucky sale of thoroughbreds was concluded this- afternoon, and tomorrow the stallions, mares, weanlings and horses in training belonging to Edward Corrigan will be sold at the Cor-rigan farm, six miles from this city, under tlie management of the Fasig-Tipton Company. The auction today embraced 121 head, the greater number being without apparent individuality and not of attractive quality. The result was that tha majority went to traders and speculators at low prices, but for as niueh as tliiey were worth, everything considered. The aggregate today was 14.960. an average of 23.70. The figures for the two days were 210 head for S,925, an average of 20.00. This, when -compared w-lth the average obtained at Colonel Milton Youngs dispersal sale a month ago. shows an increase of over .0 per head, and fully Sustains the forecast made that the demand for thoroughbreds of good quality, as well as cheaper ones for trading purposes, is growing stronger daily. Only the very best stallions, however, are in request. This means that the progeny of every Tom. Diik and Harry with live crosses and a brother or sister that has raced well will not be wanted. The breeders arc wise enough to see this and are letting poor and untried ones go. This was fully illustrated when the sale opened this morning with an offering of seven stallions. Oiseau, good race horse that he was, brought only 50. Watertight, another from the stable of James R. Brady, was "knocked down for 00. and Orison, likewise of the Brady offering, brought 25.
