THOROUGHBREDS BRING LOW PRICES. Many Withdrawals from the Fasig-Tipton Sale and No Encouraging Features. Lexington, Ky., November 25. The Fasig-Tipton Companys eighth animal Kentucky sale of thoroughbreds began at horsemens headquarters this morning under conditions that are far from favorable, and the prices thus far realized are discouraging. During the day 132 mares and weanlings were sold for an aggregate of 0,505, an average of 79.5S. Of these twenty-six head went to L. Blum, who is" buying for export to Mexico, for a total of ?1,S20, an average of 0. A. II. Jewell, of the linn of Harbison, Jewell and Patterson, local horse dealers, bought twenty-four head for 1,200, an average of 53.75. The highest price paid was 425, and only five head brought 200 or over, as follows: Property of H. T. Oxnard Miss Eugenie, b. in, C, by Orwell Constantia; W. S. Payne, Jr 125 Wedding Day, ch. m, S, by Hanover Beautiful Bells; C. D. Wilson 425 Fairyling. b. m, 5, by Oberon Muzzle; W. S. Payne, Jr 200 Property of Mrs. K. P. Shipp Leeta. ch. in, 10, by Turco Almy; J. N. Markey 200 Property of John E. Madden Octavo, br. f, 3, by Octagon Alcestis; R. H. Anderson 200 Mrs. R. W. Walden hardly realized enough out of her consignment to pay the freight on the horses from the farm in Maryland. None of the horses consigned by James R. Keene was sent in from Castieton Stud. There was not a bid on the stallion Golden Badge, the last horse offered, and he was led from the ring. The next consignment in the catalogue is that of the Millstrcam Stud, including the stallions Adam and Handspring, but it is announced officially tonight that they have been withdrawn from the sale. The consignment of Karl Jungbluth, it is understood, will not be offered. Other withdrawals would not be surprising. Prices arc lower than they have been at any time since the panic of 1S93. The sale of yearlings began tonight but was not "concluded in time for a report in this issue of Daily Racing Form.
