- 4 JOHN A. DRAKES ENGLISH-BRED YEARLINGS BRING REMARKABLY GOOD PRICES h Saratoga, N. Y, August 9. The English yearlings brought over last winter by Phil T. Chinn of Lexington for John A. Drake of New York, were sold in the Fasig-Tipton Companys new sale mart here last night and averaged 1,790, the sum total for the twenty that passed under auctioneer George A. Bains hammer having been 5,800. The top of the sale was the bay colt half-brother to Winsomvera by Greenback Talavera, which went to Edward B. McLean for ,100, who also bought the Light Brigade Calandria colt for 5,000 and the Darley Dale Victagon colt for ,000. Edward McBride was another good bidder, paying 37,500 for three. Andrew Miller got a good-looking Light Brigade colt for 3,100. The thirteen head of Kentucky-bred yearlings sold by John S. Barbee brought 12,625, an average of 971. The lowest price was 100 for John Wilson Townsends The Blue Duke, a chestnut son of Duke of Ormonde Blue Ball. The total for the thirty-four head was 48,525, an average of 1,475. Considerably short of the figure at which President E. J. Trauter of the Fasig-Tipton Company placed the aggregate for tonight before he was aware that three head catalogued would not be offered. The sale was generally counted good, but John S. Barbee, at whose farm the Drake yearlings were acclimated, stated that their importer would make no money. I doubt if he will come out whole on the transaction," said Barbee, for his expense on the yearlings has been about 750 per head and some of them cost him big prices in England."" Barbee said he was disappointed in the way two or three of the "Peeps" sold, but that on the whole he had no complaint to make of his average. Property of John A. Drake.
