HIGH PRICES IN HoRsE-FLESH. -
The following statistics, concern
ing the enormous prices that hors-
es of great reputation have com.
manded, is taken from The Turf,
Field and Farm At Newmarket,
in 1906, bay colt by Pipato,
sold for $4,000. In the same
year, a 2-year old colt, by Bendin-
borough, a 2-year old by Volunteer,
and a 3-year old filly by Sir Peter,
were sold for $4,000 each. For
the celebrated horse Shark, $780,
900 were refused, and OKelly de-
clined to accept an offer of $780,
600 for his stallion. Tradition
says that the Duke Of Devonshire
refused for Flying Cbilders the
weight of the horse in gold. A
few years ago the great sire Stock
we'll could uot be bought for $780,
UOO; and we presume that when
Gladiateur was carrying every
thing before him on the English
turf, the Count de la Grange
would not have parted with him
for $l50,000. Coming to Ameri-
ca, we find that nearly $4,000
were paid for Lexington, and that
his son, Kentucky, was sold for
$4,000. Mr.. Alexander refused
$4,000 for Asteroid, Kentucky's
half-brother; and Norfolk, another
half-brother, was valued at S40,-
90. Mr.. Bonner paid $4,000 for
Dexter, and offers 100000 for
one that can equal Dexter's wagon

porting to be her husband, who
was no doubt her "capper." She
rode from corner to corner, and at
tracted a crowd of curiostiy-seek-
ers around her. When she got a
sufficient number together she
would ask, "Who will give four
dollars for a FIVE dollar bill ? Who
will give me fifty cents for dol
lar ?" Of course she readily found
purchasers at these prices. After
having got the crowd interested
in this manner, she would then
bring out a locket and chain
(brass) worth about forty cents
wholesale, and put dollar bill in
it and wrap it up and offer the
entire package tor two dollars.
Buyers she found plenty, and of
course made a handsome profit on
it. She would then wrap up a
ring worth about twenty cents,
making those around her believe
she had put a dollar bill into it,
as she had done with the locket.
The purchaser, finding he had
been sold, would say nothing, and
slip out of the crowd. When the
crowd would begin to discover her
trick she would commence selling
greenbacks at a discount again,
her "cap" nearly always taking
the offer. They pursued their
avocation in New York for some
time, clearing on an average, ST.
600 per week, until the swindle
became so apparent they were OBJ
liged to leave. Coming West they
stopped at various points, coming
money. They visited Cleveland,
where the chief of police stopped
their operation. They next turn
ed up in Springfield, and from
there they came here where they
have been, it seems, very success
