SALE OF HORSES.
Trottlng and Saddle Bred ANIMALS
Bring Only Fair Prices at
the Fair Grounds.

at the sale OF young trotting and
saddle bred horses at the Fair
Tuesday. Mr.. X. IL.
tbs owner of the horses,
redeemed all the promises he made
in regard to the character of the
stock he was to sell. Most of the
animals sold are young, well bred
things, though some older animals
we're put up. Owing to the size of
the crowd present, the prices Sc
cured were not as large as the sale
deserved, though nothing went for
a song or wen anything like a poor
price. Among the sales were some
fine mares. 1t is to be regretted that
the sale did not take place at some
point down town, where, it can be
safely said, ten times the crowd
would have assembled at the auc-
ton; but owing 10 the distance OF
the fair grounds from the city,
many who would have otherwise
attendedth sale as purchasers were
prevented from doing so. Though
the mistake was noticed, a change
was not practicable at the last
msment, and the sale took place on
the track just between the grand
and judges stand. The grand
stand just opposite the auc-
tioneers' box was comforta-
bly, seated and bids were quite
spirited. Col. D. H. Harris, of
Columbia; James 7. Johnson and
John Atchison, of this city, were
the auctioneers.
Mr.. Allen is to be congratulated
Oh the deserved reputation he bears
as a breeder of high class horses.
He thinks Mexico o coming horse
center and he shows his wisdom
by holding such an opinion. Mr..
Allen will not let this be his last
sale here and horse buyers are glad
of it. Encouraged by the start of
this place as a fine horse point, by
the Missouri Trotting and Pacing
Horse-breeders Association, the
Combination Sales and Mr.. Aliens
sale, other breeders will have their
regular dispesals of stock here.
