MR. WILSONS FIRST SALE OF YEARLINGS. Richard T. Wilson, who in the last three or four .years has been breeding the horses that have borne Ins silks on eastern race tracks, will make his entry into -the thoroughbred market as a contributor to the public yearling sales this week. Next Saturday, jit the same time the yearlings from Edward R. Bradley s Idle Hour Stud are offered to the highest bidders in the paddock of the Saratoga track lv the Powers-Hunter Company, of New York, Mr. Wilson will send into the ring an even dozen of the get of his young, but already famous stallion Olambala. In years to tome, his contributions to the vearling market will bo more and more important, for Mr. Vilson has in the past four or five years been a discriminating buyer of breeding stock in the country and abroad. No breeder in the Blue Grass that section of central Kentucky in which thi Wilson stud is domiciled, boasts of a more desirable band of broodmares and none has a stallion of greater value than Olambala. It was only a few years back, in 1910. that Olambala was proving to the American nubile by winning the Suburban. Commonwealth, "Brighton, Saratoga and Champlain Handicaps all in a row-beating Ballot and King James and every other horse of his quality of his time and bv equaling in the running of the Commonwealth Broomsticks record of 2:02 f. for one mie and a quarter, that lie was one of the best handicap horses of the time. And last year the first of his two-year-olds to come to the post, demonstrated that he was a stock horse of the highest promise. One of these youngsters. Campfire,. which won the Saratoga Special, the Hopeful and. the Futurity, not to mention a few stakes of minor importance proved himself to be the. champion two-year-old of the vear,. while Kill-dee, Hanobala, Fantam Bala and oiie or two others, held their own right handsomely with the youngsters of the less exalted classes.
