BROADWAY JONES DEAD LEXINGTON, Ky., July 31. John H. Morris, master of Bosque Bonita Farm in Woodford County, reported today that the stallion Broadway Jones died there July 27 of paralysis, after a brief illness. Broadway Jones, foaled in 1922 by Black Toney, from the great mare Vaila, by Fairman, won eleven races and 2,275 in four seasons under the colors of Col. E. R. Bradley, before breaking down in the New Orleans Handicap of 1927. He made his first two stud seasons at Idle Hour Farm, but in December, 1928, was sold by Colonel Bradley to J. K. Newman of New York, who established him at the head of a band of mares at Brooknoll Farm, Westchester, Penn. In 1931, when Mr. Newman dispersed his stud, Broadway Jones was bought by Thomas B. Cromwell, acting agent for the Penn Farm Corporation of New York, for ,700. At the time of his death he was still owned by the Penn Farm Corporation in which Mr, Newman was interested. He made the season of 1932 at Hinata Farm, under the management of the Young Brothers, and this year was under lease to Mr. Morris at Bosque Bonita. He had a book of thirty-two mares. Broadway Jones first foals appeared in 1928 when he had only two representatives, one of which died. Since then he has sired numerous winners, including New Deal, Broadway Lights and Broad Lights.
