is ventrred that the stock when put up at
auction will be as fine as anything ever sold

II MAY OUTSIDERS SELL?
The question has been asked as to
whether outsiders would be allowed to sell
stock at the Midway sale. Answering gen.
orally the reply would be in the negative.
The four gentlemen who make the sale are
to considerable expense in advertising, in
paying Capt. Kidd Of Kentucky to come up

would be manifestly unjust to ask them to
allow any persons who have stock for sale
to come in and take advantage of all the
arrangements that have been made for the
sale; besides they can have no guaranty that
the stock offered or sought to be offered fol-
sale is well-bred. If anyone has we'll
bred animal and desires to sell it at this
sale, there would probably be no trouble to
make arrangements that would be satisfac-
tory with the gentlemen who are engaged
