LAST YEARLING SALE OF THE YEAR. New York, December 8. Grant Hugh Browne, owner of the Brownleigh Park Stable, has announced the next important sale of thoroughbred horsps to be held in New York. Thursday, December 14, he will offer at an auction, to be conducted by the Powers-Hunter Company at Durlands Academy, twenty-seven imported yearlings that are as fashionably-bred as any of the foreigners that have thus far been brought across the Atlantic. Several of these were brought over earlier in the year and sent to Mr. Brownes big breeding farm at Goshen, N. Y., while others were more recent arrivals. Recently all were sent to Gravesend, where trainer McDaniel tried them out thoroughly, and there Avas not one in the band that did not show a disposition to run swiftly. This will be one of the last New York sales of 1910, and it is an auction that is sure to attract wide attention. The generally accepted belief is that the foreign thoroughbreds will cut a much more important figure next year than they did in the racing year just closed, and the blood lines of those to be offered by Mr. Browne makes them particularly desirable.
