REGRETS HAVING LET ADAM GO. Lexington, Ky., September 21. Sanford C. Lyne, the master of Larchmont Stud, who did so well on his speculation in yearling thoroughbreds, returned from New York last night feeling particularly good over the results of the sales and encouraged as to the future. Asked why the bay colt by Sepipronius. out of Ksplonage, had not been offered for sale at Sheepshead Bay, Mr. Lyne said: "He died the day before the sale, but he was not a total loss. I gave 05 for him as a weanling and had him insured for 25. lie was a grand-looking colt and would have brought at least ,500." Mr. Lyne was disappointed in the result of the sale of the five of his own breeding by his imported stallion, St. Dory, and he has made up his mind to get rid of the son of St. Simon, which sold for ,500 as a yearling. "He is a good horse, I am sure," said Mr. Lyne, "hut he is evidently not suited to mate with my mares. I bred only two to him last spring. If I cannot find a buyer for him Ill present him to the breeding bureau. I do not know what horse, if any, I will buy to take his place. The mistake that we Keutuckians made was in lotting Adam go hack to France. We could have bought him from the Mill-stream Stud people for 1909.sh0,000. That would have been 1909.sh,000 each from a syndicate of ten of us, and we could have bred five mares apiece to him and had our money back with interest in three years. Its a pity that horse did not stay in America."
