CHENAULTS BARGAIN SALE ENGLISH MARES. Lexington, Ky.. December 12. O. H. Cuenault says he picked up a rare bargain ia the half-dozen young English mares he bought at the recent sale of Grant Hugh Brownes thoroughbreds. He got three four-year-olds. Golden Buh, by Oriiiamb; Lonely Lady, by Knight of Malta: Lady Dunraven, by Desmond: the six-year-old, Carcanet II,. by Carbine; the seven-year-old. Betty Crayne, by St. Hllalre, and the thirteen-year-old, Little Em II., by Despair. "The six cost me 50," said Mr. Cuenault, "but since I have looked them up in the English Stud Book. I would not take ten times that amount for them. It was really a shame that such well-bred mares should have been allowed to go at such prices." John H. Morris, -who was kicked by a mule at Woodburn Farm last week, is gradually recovering the use of his right leg and expects to be able to leave his bed next week. It was reported that his knee cap had been shattered, but this has proved untrue. John Evans, racing agent for Joseph E. Seagram, the Canadian turfman and distiller, is still here with the nine mares and weanlings purchased at the recent sales. He cannot take them across the Canadian border until the government of the Dominion lifts the quarentine against live stock from the United States and he has no idea when that will be. C. W. Moore is delighted with McGee. the imported stallion he bought for only ,300 at the Corrlgan sale, and says he would not take ,000 for him. "I like him much better than I did Ingoldsby. and I thought a lot of him," said Mr. Moore. "I bought Ingoldsby from Major Daingerfield at Castle-ton Stud and once refused an offer of 5,000 for him from J. N. Camden. They told me that McGee was a nervous, fretful horse and that he was given to climbing up in his stall. I have not found him so. I have made his stall as inviting as possible by giving him plenty of light and letting him look out in any direction at any time. I have put a goat in with him and he has remained perfectly quiet. I have him ridden for exercise about two hours every day. His disposition is as good as that of any stallion I ever saw." "Dick" Wilson, who bought Maceo from J. B. Respess this week, says be intends that the son of Sir Dixon and Katydid shall make a season here. He will probably send him to his brother Garretts Iroquois Stud.
