selves well known by the interest they
have manifested in advancing the reputa-
| ton of Tennessee for thoroughbred stock.
This is the first sale on the cooperative
| plan that has ever occurred in the southern
country, and from the decided success de-
| rived from the Inauguration yesterday, it is
likely that much attention will be given to
them in the future.
| The crowd was somewhat tardy In
making their appearance upon the grounds
and, although the sale was announced to
take place at . o'clock A. NJ, ''sharp," il
was ii O'Clock before it began. During
this delay those present availed themselves
of the opportunity to make minute exam
inatiOn Of the stock about 70 be sold and
| perfectly acquaint themselves with the ped
| igTees of tie thOroughbreds.
The day was as clear and pleasant as
| could have been desired. While all those
present were not there to bid, yet there was
a sufficient number who were, to make the
competition lively and spirited. The sale
was an exceedingly profitable one, and even
went beyond the expectation Of those inter
| ested. Owing 10 the present stTingency of
| money matters, it was thought by some
that the stock would not bring very fancy
prices, but the. results of the sale surprised
| a good many.
| Before the commencement and while the
preliminaries were being arranged, the cel-
| ebrated ENFIELD, from whom a number Of
The animals 10 be sold emsnated, was eK-
hibited. His progeny appeared TO be in
decided favor among the bidders. Some
| few Of the animals bought yesterday will
be carried out of the State.
Among those present our reporter no.
ticed Col. Cunningham, Of the kentucky
Lire Stock Record, and Edward S. Jones,
Of COlmGR'S Rural World, St. Louis.
! Shortly after noon dinner was announced.
| The crowd fastened to the designated spot
and quickly filled the room formerly used
| by the Fair Association as a dining room.
| An abundance of well barbecued meat and
q large quantity Of bakers bread were

on the run for fresh supplies. Choice
liquors were disposed Of, free of charge, to
the Thirsty assemblage.
a little after IL o'clock 3. f. COekrill,
mounted the auctiOneer's stand and made
a few remarks in behalf Of
The COOPERATIVE PLAN,
that had been adopted by the owners Of the
property to be sold. He said it was calcu-
lated to enlist the interest and attention
Of every breeder in Tennessee. The breed
er with little capital would by cooperation
have the same chance to offer his stock for
sale as the breeder with larger capital, and
would receive bis pro rata. No distinction
would be made in favor of the one or the
other, and, besides, the sale would be
advertised all over the country.
Capt. Phil c. Kidd, the auctiOneeT for
the occasion, took his stand and delivered
a few remarks upon the increasing interest
being taken in thoroughbred stock all over
The United States, and urged upon his
hearers the importance Of giving more st
tentiOn to raising thoroughbred and trOt-
ting stock, and especially to devote them
selves more earnestly to developing the IN
terest in short horns and sheep. Capt. Kidd
bears the reputation Of icing a lively and
quick aUctiOneer, and the fluent manner n
which be talks to the audience attracts
their whole attention. In conclusion, he
announced thai the terms Of sale would be
as follows:
Credit of four months without interest.
Purchasers required to give notes, with sp-
proved security, before the removal of the
stock. All sums under $50 to be paid in
cash.
