JOHN SANFORD HORSES IN FRANCE SOLD All but Two of Seventeen Head Disposed Of, Including Twenty-Five-Year-Old Voter. SARATOGA SPRINGS, X. Y., August 23. In speaking of the consignment of brood mares which he disposed of at public sale in France a few days ago, John Sanford said: "Seventeen in all went into the sales ring, including the stallion Voter. The latter is a quite old horse twenty-five years of age s i dont believe that he realized much. I placed a reserve on all but Voter, and of the baud but two were withdrawn, for the reason that they did not realize the value which I set on them. The two mares which were not sold were Maydora and Glorlta. The hand brought 40S.00O france, wrich in nominal times would mean in American money about 0,000. At the present value of a franc the amount realized was but 8,000. I have decided to leave the money over there until such time as I may want to use it." Mr. Sanford did not say what he intended doing with Maydora and Glorita, but it is presumed that they will be bred back to pome high-class French stallion and their product raced iu that country.
