"HIGH-CLASS BROODMARES FOR AMERICA. Important Purchases Made at the Newmarket December Sale of This Year. As one result of the recent December sale in England it is evident that quite a number of the best bred young mares there are coining over, as a highly desirable addition to our thoroughbred breeding resources. Five were bought in the name of Andrew Joyner, ten for W. S. Kilmer and Phil Chinti bought three. Resides their purchases others were made by agents, for whom will be disclosed later on. For instance, Mr. W. Allison bought the Cherry Tree Strike-a-Light mare Quick and her splendid filly foal by John oGaunt, "for America." The British Ulood Stock Agency made over fifty purchases, a portion of which are almost certain to come to this country. Trainer Joe Butters was a considerable buyer and it may be that some of his Requirements were for American account. The purchases for Mr. Kilmer and their prices were: Brownie, b. m, S, by Gallinuli Elf; bred to Marco vil S4.GS0 St. Fey. b. f. 2, by St. Frusquin Brownie 2,484 Misty Law. h. in, 7, by Ayrshire Ben Doran; bred to Kings Proctor 1,872 Sabretache, b. m, 5. by Martagon Sabrin- etta; bred to John oGaunt 1,872 Glenfernate. b. f, 4, by Tredennis Straloch; bred to Balscaddin 1,012 Sobranje, h. in, 3, by Polymolus Duma; bred to Lonawand 1.50S Lovelight, b. m, 7, by St. Aniant Sister Lumley; bred to Zria 1,404 Contessima, br. in. 7. by Count Schomberg Pitti; bred to Bomba 1,0-10 Marianwerth. eh. m, 8, by Isinglass Sweet Marjorie; bred to Land League 030" Bay filly, 1, by Bachelors Double Lady Edgar 572 Mr. Joyners purchases were probably in behalf of either J.
