ENGLISH RACE HORSE SOLD FOR 0. London. Eng., May 5. — That the owners and trainers of race horses in England regard the racing outlook as serious in consequence of the governments decision to stop racing, was strikingly shown when Minister Bell was led into the ring at Newmarket to be sold after racing in the Two Thousand Guineas Trial Selling Plate, in which he made a respectable showing. The thoroughbred fetched only the small sum of two guineas. Two guineas is close to 0 in United States money. This is a record for a bona fide sate of a high -class thoroughbred.
