. SUMMARIZED RESULTS OF YEARLING SALES. Get of Adam Brought Best Average of Season, with 1 is Watercress Second and Hamburg Third. P ti r Lexington, Ky., September 18. Whenever an aver- li age of 00 per head for yearlings can be obtained v through competitive bidding, the state of the mar- a ket for thoroughbred horses can be considered v healthy. This year 470 yearlings from Kentucky, v Virginia, Tennessee aud California went through the sales ring at Sheepshead Bay and they brought I an aggregate of 39,990, representing an average s of 00.30. The sales for the, July period numbered 1 21S head for 14,195, an average of 524, and for i the September period. 250 head for 2u,795, avcrag- 1 ing 90, or only 4 less than the average for the midsummer sale, which has . the pick of the crop. 3 The fall sale, everything considered, was an ,1m- provement on the midsummer sale and on account 1 of it the breeders have been greatly encouraged. 1 Tliey all regard the future as bright. I The highest price of the year was ,000, paid 1 by John Dyment. the young Canadian, for the bay : sou of Adam and Roman Gold, a good daughter of Gold Lace, by Ormonde, bred by W. .OB, Mac- I donough of California. The bay filly by Adam, out of Ellangowan, was sold by Messrs. G. II. and T. : .1. Clay to Franklin C. Bishop of the Newcastle . Stable and Millstream Stud for ,000, but not i through the sales ring. The negotiations were con- I ducted privately. Should, this ,000 transaction be Included in the statistics of the auction sales. It 1 would bring the average" to 15.75, an Increase of nearly 0. The next highest price, ,100. is also" -to the credit of Adam, his son, from Grace Gum- berts, having been knocked down to J. A. Bonnet at 1 that figure. Three colts were" sold for ,100 each, and one for ,000. One filly brought ,900. another .S00; one colt was sold for ,S00, another for : ,700, and two others for ,000 each. There were i thirteen colts and fillies that brought from ,000 to ,500 each. I The yearlings sold were the get of ninety-seven stallions, tlfty-three of which are American-bred and forty-four imported. The gqt of the French . stallion Adam, which after two seasons-at the Mill- stream Stud was sent back to his native heath and sold for S,000, some 5,000 or more than he cost the Millstream people, were most in demand, as ; will be seen from the table of aggregates and averages glveu below. The Millstream people profited considerably by their ownership, of Adam, but it is a pity that they could not have been sufficiently far-sighted to keep him hero. That he would be in big demand in America henceforth goes without saying.
