THIRD NIGHT OF SALES Market Holds Up Well, 40 Head Realizing Total of 0,550. Ultimus Blume Colt Brings Top Price of ,000 Demand for Best Only. SARATOGA SPRINGS, X. Y, August 9. The thoroughbred yearling market held up well at last nights sales, forty head being disposed of for a total of 0,550, an average of ,763.75. An attendance that surpassed that of the opening night turned out. While the bidding again lagged in spots, it was spirited when anything offered that was considered worth while. The consignments disposed of were those of "William Woodwards Belair Stud, William B. Miller, Richard Trimble, Dr. J. C. Carrick, H. II. and J. H. Gaines, 12.- C. Christian and W. G. Shropshire. There was quite a demand for several of the Miller youngsters and this establishment furnished the star of the sale, a chestnut colt by Ultimus Blume, by Broomstick. He was purchased by Scott P. Harlan, acting for the Greentree Stable, for ,000. Incidentally it sent into the ring the first yearling which failed to elicit a single bid. This was a bay daughter of Black Toney Katrine. In all sixteen of the Miller horses were sold for a total of 37,700, an average of ,356. Thirteen from the Belair Stud brought 4,000, an average of ,816. These were good looking individuals and while no unusually high figures were realized for any of them most of them brought fair prices. Several new bidders got into action last night, among them being E. R Bradley, Ral Parr, Frank M. Taylor, Walter M. Jeffords, J. L Holland, Otto Rasch, Will Wallace and Frederick Johnson. Bradley made several purchases, as did Parr. John S. Ward added considerably to his stable. He purchased five yearlings for a total of 1,600. He paid ,100 for a brown colt by Jim Gaffney Arrow Shaft from the Bolair Stud and a similar amount for a brown colt by Huon June Rose from the Miller consignment. It was plain to see that the better grade of yearlings, or at least those of good appearance and breeding are destined to gain the attention of the prospective purchasers. Whenever one was offered that did not appear up to the standard it was difficult to get the bidding started, but the moment one of the other class was led into the ring there was immediate action.
