familiar in this country, because the most
remarkable of these are peculiar TO Amer

Europe and Asia, which are sometimes
called flying glow worms" are allied to

PARIS, March 1.-THE duel between
Marquis de Mores and M. Isaac seems to
have been deliberately brought about by
the former to gain popularity with the So

man charged with having their comrades

ed in disabling MS man. He made a thrust
as if at the left breast, and as Isaac made
motion 10 parry the blow, the marquis,
with almost inconceivable swiftuess, struck
hercely & the right, plunging his weapon
into the breast of Isaac.
The latter staggered, blood pouring from
his wound. he neld on to his sword and
made a motion as if TO attack the marquis

sale of the Prince OF Wales Horses.

sale of the Prince OF Wales Horses.
Especial TO TEE RERALD- Examiner Dispatch.l
LONDON, March 17-Sporting men from
all parts of England went to Sandfingham
yesterday, TO purchase horses reared by a
royal prince This was the first of u series
of biennial stud sales arranged by his royal
highuess to raise ready money. 1t was
generally understood the Duke of Fife
would personally represent the Prince of
Wales. But he was taken suddenly i'll on
Tuesday night, thereby throwing the royal
responsibilities on the fragile shoulders of
Sir Dighton Probyn, the official head of
the princes household. Several buyers
had conditional commissions from America,
but nothing was purchased to cross the
Atlantic for two reasons. The first is,
Secretary Rusks recent order which calls
for certificate of four top crosses on the
sire's side and five bottom crosses on the
DAMS side, before horse can be admitted
Tree of duty. This order amounts to prac-
teal prohibition of English stations or
brood mares except to purchasers who can
afford TO pay fancy prices with the sddi-
ton OF 30 per cent. tariff duty. Among
the men who are interested in racing and
race horses in England, this order of Rusk's
has created much CONSERVATION. 1t was
generally discussed at the Sandringham
sale, and several agents who had. American
orders refrained from bidding because they
could not get their purchases to America
in time to avoid Rusk's recent orders.
The princes horses sold for phenominal
prices. Thirteen commonplace mares, the
first on the catalogue drew an average of
$3.50 each. In fact, Lord Vantage, after
spirited bidding, paid 335 guineas for one
beautiful gray mare. Sir Humphrey de
Trefford was also forced to pay $40 guineas
for another promising mare, Corn Rose,
which American agents were instructed to
bid up to $50 guineas. Five four-y old
mares drew an average of 1918 each. The
average for three-year olds was $40 and for
two year-olds $3.50. Yearling FLIES aver
aged 1856 each. The only good three-year
old stallion, a clear son of Majestic, was
reserved at 500 guineas Colts of Duns-
more blood averaged $500. and seven grand
geldings averaged $3.50. The total amount
realized for the forty-eight animals was
about $4,000, far more than any of the
princes friends expected they would br ing.
Singularly enough, buyers were present on
behalf of The Queen 10 bid for her sons
choice stock. but their purchase prices
were limited, and other buyers outbid them.
However, the Queen secured two mares for
her farm at Osborne and stallion for her
farm at Windsor. It is only fair to her
royal hlghness to say that all these animals
were bought under the hammer in q fully
healthy and unhampered state. Next July
the prince will sell his hackneys atauctiOn,
