THE HORSE SALE.
Hundreds OF Buyers in the City Seeking In.
vestment in Fast Horses.

combined with the Lehman and Hiidreth
sale, progressed there all day and from
morning until night the crowd was en-
tertained. There were people present
from hundred different directions, all OF
which shows the deep interest there is
being taken in an Improvement il horse
flesh by the people Of the southwest.
Many farmers were present and they were
by no means slow or misery in making
bids. In fact the farmers ranked among
the best buyers and were equally as well
prepared to plank down the hard cash as
has town brother There was one particu-
lar thing demonstrated at the sale and
that IS that there Is more ready money in
Kansas than the most optimistic citizen has
heretofore supposed. While a good
breed OF horses IS unqueStlonabIy fine in
vestment for any farmer, and something
that every farmer ought to secure, yet, it
is also a luxury and that being the case it
speaks well for the condition Of the coun-
try that so many people are seeking in
vestmeuts in this line.
The general impression prevailed yester-
day that the horses were going quite cheap
and this opinion was sustained by gentle
men who know what horses are worth &C
cording to their pedigree and future prom
Use. Mr.. H 6. Toler, who owns most OF
the horses, stated to an EAGLE reporter
last night that the animals were going at
a much lower sum than they are worth,
but that he had no kick coming to him, as
be needed money worse than he needed
horses at present. Indeed, he cited some
instances where he would not accept
double the price paid for certain animals
If he was in position to hold them until
they would bring what he considered them
worth. He is also very anxious to es-
tablish a frst-clsss horse market in
Wichita; to make it the Lexington
of Kansas, and that is another reason why
he has no kick TO make on the prices his
animals are bringing.
It is very interesting to stand around
the sale. Ii reminds one of the scene he
observes when he first enters a board of
trade meeting in city. Colonel Muir
the auctloneeT, is mounted on a platform
and be keeps the crowd in excellent good
humor. He has remarkably quick eye
and there is no part or portion of the dense
crowd so obscure to his vision that he can
not see five fingers stuck up when some
gentleman indicates by that means that he
is willing TO go s. better How he can
keep track of the bidders is mystery,
but ne does it and does it well When
ever a new bidder enters the contest he
knows at glance that he is new bidder,
but how he does know is a very hard mat
ter to explain by those who are not
with the quickness and tact
and keenness of perception which an
auctioneer attains by continued practice.
When a new horse is brought out for
sale his name and pedigree are stated
fully and clearly by the auctioneer
and then examinations commence. The
horse is spurred up and down through the
crowd for fifty or seventy-five yards to
show that he is nimble of foot The owner
then guarantees that he is sound in every
and the bidding commences.
1t does not consume more than from ten TO
twenty minutes to sell each horse. The
is a list of the horses sold yester-
day, with the names of the buyers;
