GREAT PRICES FOR YEARLINGS , Analysis of Newmarket October Sales Prices and Averages. Youngsters by The Tetrarch and Charles OMalley Fetch Record Sums in England. BY E. E. COUSSELL. LONDON, England, October 20. Last year the October Newmarket sales were abandoned owoing to the railroad strike. This year it looked as though a coal strike would interfere, but this was postponed. Prices were by no means to be compared with those at Doncaster. After the first days sale there was. a steady decline in the average. Of the forty-three yearlings catalogued on Friday only fifteen found buyers. Naturally, there were some noteworthy exceptions and one or two would have sold for big prices if .their owners had not possessed inflated ideas. For instance, a genuine bid of 0,000 was refused for a colt by Corcyra, sire of your Cleopatra. It was generally understood the breeder expected him to make 5,000. Mr. John Sanford gave the second highest price of the week for a handsome daughter of Sunder and Snow Marten, which" comes of the same immediate family as Spion Kop, Comrade and Orpheus, Which has by this time arrived in the United States; The most notable feature of the" sales wns the, firm demand for the offspring of Charles OMalley. Sir colts by him sold for 2,750, an average: of almost 0,500. Thelowest priced one made,500.. fl3,05j?.nd;at jhe July" sales two averaged ,800. So far this year fifteen Charles OMalley yearlings have realized 09,200, an average of 1,280. By the way, last week the syndicate owning .Charles OMalley sold a share to Lady Sykes, so Sledmere is now included. Two or three breeders only outside the syndicates will have the chance to secure nominations to the horse and these will cost not less than ,500. Yet a few years ago Charles OMalley was refused by au American breeder who could have got him for less than 00,000. Sunstar lost his record of every yearling by bim selling for over ,000. Four of them last week made, less than that amount. Altogether nineteen Sunstar yearlings have sold for 45,500, an average of 2,920. These are remarkable figures for sucli a number. The highest priced yearling of the week was a Sunstar. One colt by The Tetrarch unexpectedly came in lie tales and made 9,000. At Doncaster he would have realized considerably more than that amount, though his dams pedigree is not of particular merit. The four The Tetrarch yearlings sold this season have brought 2,500, 8,000, 5,500 and 9,000; otal, 85,000; average. 1,250. GREAT PRICES FOR YEARLINGS.

This was not the case. Mr. Shepherd bought this colt for himself and naturally hopes he will bear his colors with credit When tbe time conies for him to race.
