The big sale of yearlings here oegan Wednesday night. The attendance filled the spacious Fasig-Tipton sales ring with a bnkiant assemblage and included every prominent owner in these parts and other sections of the country. Bidding at times was spirited, particularly when some of the choicer offerings were in the ring, and prices realized were on a par with last season. The general consensus was rhat the demand for youngsters is still great and that those combining good ancestry and looks will, command big sums. Thirty-nine youngsters went under the hammer at the initial sale and they comprised consignments of Miss Elizabeth Daingerfield, Samuel Ross, The Short. Grass Stud Company, C. II. Berryman, Balgowan Stud, D. W. Scott, Carr and Piatt, W. W. Darden and others. The entire collection realized a total of 09,850, for a grand average of ,817.35. The star offering was the Short Grass Marian Hood colt, which was knocked down to George Barnes for 13,500. The bidding on this colt was lively up to the 10,000 mark, when it became draggy. The Spanish Prince II. Junta colt, also in the Shore Grass Stud consignment, was the next highest priced colt sold during the evening, and he also was knocked down to George Barnes on a bid of 0,500. The other nine colts and fillies offered by the Short Grass Stud Company brought the total to 4,100, or an average of ,009. George Barnes was an active bidder on these colts and had six oc them knocked .down tc his account. It was not established for whom he was acting, but it was not for C. W. Clark, ."--The Dumgerfield-Ross offering, "comprising eight head, went for a total of 8,100, and an average of ,262.50. The star in this consignment was the Sweep Highftown colt, which went to William Garth on his bid of ,100. Commander J. K. L. Ross secured the colt by Jim Gaffney Irish Queen for ,000. This vas the first offering of the evening and a lively tilt for his possession ensued. The Sweep Droll colt in the W. W. Darden consignment alsb realized ,000. There was nothing particularly striking about any of the offerings so far as looks were concerned, and a noticeable feature of the sale was the inactivity of many former eastern buyers in the high bidding.
