FILLY ATTRACTS ATTENTION _ ♦- Daughter of Tracery One of Stars in Belmont Paddock Sale. » _ Max Hirsch Consigns Taras Hall lo Vendue, Scheduled for Saturday, May 26, at Sew York Course. * NEW YORK, N. Y., May 19.— At no time since Tracery, American-bred son of Rock Sand, which was sold for Go,00C — that being the greatest price ever paid for a thoro-bred— began stud service in England has his blood been in such demand among breeders and racing men as it is today. This accounts for the keen interest breeders in this country and abroad are manifestng in the three-year-old Tracery filly Kitten, which Foxhall Iveene has consigned to the sale of thoroughbreds the Fasig-Tipton Company will conduct in the paddock of the Belmont Park race course Saturday, May 26. The biggest price brought by a yearling at the auction block in England last year was the 1,500 paid for a yearling by Papyrus, the Derby winning son of Tracery that Zev defeated at Belmont Park in October, 1923, in The Jockey Clubs 00,000 match race of one mile and a half. L,ineage, a ten-year-old daughter of Tracery, brought 6,600 at the sales last December. Abbots Speed, a son of Abbots Trace, recently won a Kempton Park Great Jubilee renewal in England. Justice F., another son of Abbots Trace, won a revival of the ?G3,000 Xew Orleans Handicap in February. Abbots Trace is one of the best horses Tracery left to carry on his and Pock Sands male line. His get won more than 00,000 last yea:-. He stood sixth among the stallions of his country.

Lord Woolavington, one of the biggest of British producers, sent to Lexington last winter to get the Tracery mare Audit, which was consigned to the auction block by the estate of the late James Cox Brady. Audit cost him $.13,000. Blue Boy, Enrichment, Birthright and Sprightly, good three-year-olds in Britain last year, are from daughters of Tracery. There is a foal from Puss in Boots, the dam of Kitten, in the Keene consignment that is well thought of by the racing fraternity. He is a son of Captain Cuttle, winner of the British Derby of 1D22, and, as already indicated, the sire of King Georges filly Scuttle. A son of Hurry On, which has sired other Derby winners in Coronach .and Call Boy, Captain Cuttle was recently sold to an Italian producer for 50,000. Max Hirsch has consigned his handsome three-year-old Taras Hall, son of Donna-cona and Milfoil, to the impending sale. Donnacona has had great stud success in the last few years and Taras Hall is not the least worthy of his sons. His mother, Milfoil, is of the family of Folamile, Sun Beau, Mad Hatter and Mad Play. Hirsch is selling this colt because he has too many horses in his variously-owned string. A
