June 29.— The private sale of fourteen yearlings by John E.

Ogdcns rare repute as a sire is far from resting solely on tie- claim established by Sir Martin. He has been a wonderfully consistent sire of high class winners throughout his long and .successful career in the stud and horsemen all over the country are earnestly hoping that he may continue his triumphs as a sire for many years to come. It will be seen by glancing at the list of yearlings included in this sab. that while tiny are not foaled by the real star matrons of the turf, the dams In this list have produced many ueefal winters and tar/eta of year lings well know that it is a far cry from a good-looking and well-bred yearling to a winner of real Mr. Kilmer Deserving of Unqualified Success.
