SALES OF BLOOD STOCK.

The following valuable blood stock, the property of
Mr. R. Bell (now giving up breeding), were disposed of on
Monday at Albert Gate by Messrs. Tattersall. The prices
realised were in some instance high, but not more so
than might have been anticipated from the well-known
character of the stud. Mr. Blenkiron, it will be seen, bid
largely for several of the lots. s.
