SENATOR CAYWOOD BUYER Entrance of Kentuckian Into Owners Field Sale Sensation Small Prices Are Realized. LEXINGTON, Ky Nov. 15. The second session of .the E. J. Tranter sale of thoroughbreds was held this evening and was not so productive of good prices as was the afternoon session. With the exception of the two-year-old Tybal, which went to Mrs. J. A. Blackwood of Rochester, Mich., for 45, the others were yearlings and numbered seventy-one. They brought a total of 9,125, an average of 69.36. The total for the entire day was 8,040 for 170 head, making an average of 82.60. The sensation of the evening sale was the entrance of former State Senator H. S. Caywood of North Middletown, Ky., as a buyer of thoroughbreds. Senator Caywood is a well known farmer and stock man, but heretofore he has not favored racing, or rather, racing with betting, for while he was in the state senate he consistently voted in favor of the repeal of the pari-mutuel law. It might have been that he was voting in the line of politics, but the fact remains that tonight eight yearlings from the Xalapa Farm of his friend and neighbor, E. F. Simms, were knocked down to him for a total of ,550. Kentuckians interested in racing will be glad to see Mr. Caywood come to the turf as an owner. The top price of the evening was ,600 for the colt by Upset Dendera, which Mose Goldblatt of Cincinnati bought out of the C. V. Whitney consignment. The Whitney yearlings numbered fifteen. Tlicy brought ,920, an average of 61.33.
