SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y., Aug. 24 When John Bain dropped his hammer and said "sold" to O. F. Woodward and the groom led Sarazana out of the sales ring, one of Americas most famous breeding establishments passed into history. The final chapter was written and the green and white silks of the Rancocas Stable and Stud became a memory. The rise of the racing stable and later the breeding establishment under the careful eye of the late Samuel C. Hildreth was one of theoutstanding features of the American turf. The final disposition of the 1,200 acres of the farm at Jobstown, the private training, track, racing stables, brood mares and stallions, and the barns will be arrived at later, for it is understood that the place is for sale. The stakes and purses won by the establishment amounted to nearly two millions in the ten years that the , stable raced. The stable in 1923 topped the winning list of money won with 38,849 and in the history of the stable the total winnings were ,405,-461, accrued from winning 698 races, 525 times second, and 418 thirds. The amount won by the produce of the foals bred at the Jobstown nursery was ,025,105. Zev and Grey Lag were retained by Mr. Sinclair, and it is his intention to keep them for the remainder of their natural lives. He was attached to the two champions. At present they are at the Jobstown farm. The Rancocas Stables reputation with horsemen was of getting whatever they wanted and no expense was spared. The stable equipment, hwlp and other needs around the barn were the very best obtainable. A crowd of-large proportions was on hand for the final nights vendue, and the total released for the offerings was 1,125 exceeding that of Monday evening. Tuesday nights sale consisted of thirty-five head, for an average of ,175. Bidding was brisk and spirited during the evening. The top price of the evening was paid by W. S. Kilmer for the great race mare Super-lette, which had a bay colt at Foot, by Lucullite. The bidding on this mare was spir-irited, and the Binghamton breeder paid ,500 for her. The Greentree Stable paid the next highest price when a black colt by Bud Lerner Siren was secured for ,000. This fellow was one of the stars of the yearling lot and a half brother to the winner Charmer. O. F.
