AFTER THE BIG HORSE SALE.
WHAT TURFylEN THINK OF THE PRICES.
LIST OF COLONEL JAMES f. PEPPERS ANIMALS
,yD WHAT THEY BROUGHT.

t,rt,ncn vest.rdov The general opinion was that the
horses brought Just about what they were worth Ihefo
were some exceptions, however. Don Alonzo brought
only 10000 Many Of the turfmcn thought that was
a poor price. and expected him to bring at least
$50 600 If not 10000. good three year-old can
win barrel Of money in these days and consequently
IL Is surprising that Don AlonzO went at 80 low
figure. Practically speaking he was the champion
twoycar-od Of this year. II is doubtful wheel he
is the equal Of MOrcllo but Morello Is not entered
in the rich stakes offered by the Jockey clubs undor
rule of the Board of Control he looks TO have on
form this year OF these stakes at his mercy
lie Is entered In the American Derby and the
sheridan Stakes offered by the Washington fNFh
Club at Chicago. These two stakes are to be the
features of racing at Chicago during the WorM's
Columbian Exposition. Don Alonzo is also entered ID
the Brooklyn Derby and the Carleton Stakes onered
by the Brooklyn Jockey Club; the Withers, Belmont
Fleetwood, Glen Island and jerome stakes ohero0 by
the New York Jockey Club; the Realization, Ioa
and Sea and Sound stakes offered by the Ceney
Island Jockey Club, and the Comparative LSTiilad
stockton stevens and Omnibus stakes, offered by the
Monmouth Park Association. On performances no morse
las qualifications dispute his title TO the three year
old championship OF 1898. His engagements are so
valuable, that should he succeed in winning Only
few Of them his earnings will reach HUNDREDS OF
thousands Of dollars. OF Don Alonao will not
win all OF the rich stakes for which he Is entered ;
lie will not start In many OF them
Sir Francis who brought $4,000, will, therefore,
have chance to win large amount of money, as
lie is entered in the same stakes. However. many
turfmen think that compared with the price brought
by Don Alonzo, his price was high, as Runyon,
Ledgerwood and Young Arlon are also entered In
the stakes, and will probably beat him IN some
OF the races. Young Aion is not really in the first
class. However II horse in the first class Is
little of, he is apt TO be beaten by Young Aron.
Yorhvne Behe brought $4,000. This is really
more than she i, WORTH because she has no engage
mcnts for next season. She Is now merely handi-
cap mare She has lot of money 1t is true.
but then she il in the three ear-0d fly stakes.
and she had practically a wakover in every one
OF them. Next year she will have to meet such
horses Tammany and Lamphghter and others
at handicap weights. and she Will not have an easy
Of 1t racing against such good colts as they are
A good two-year old can win more money in stakes
than horses of any other age. 1t Is not
strange then that good yearngs should bring high
prices. Thurston and Bowers were the star year
lngs in the Ehret string having been purchased for
$4,000 each. Thufston brought Sat-
urday night only $1,000 which should
be considered poor price. as he l.
highly bred and is brother to Freeland, By that
greit Sire iLongfellow. Bowers brought $4,000
and he is worth fully that amount, IL not more. He
is an own brother TO that great racehorse Tyrant,
whom he greatly resembles, and in whose Footsteps
he should follow. Both Thurston and Bowers are
entered in all the great two-yearold stakes as also
Is DObbins who brought $50, 200. remarkably high
price for this yearng brother to Sir Francis and
half-brother TO Yorkville Belle. II any OF these
yearlings prove be what their trials promise for
them they will win many times the amounts paid
for them.
Michael F. Dryer by far the largest buyer Of the
Ehret horses. He spent nearly 100000 at the sale.
With Fairy and Stonenell he should have worthy
successors to the brown whirlwind Kingston They
will take his place in the sprnng contests. forkvle
Bell Fairy Demuth, Don Alonzo and Dobbns added
to his already powerful string should make his stable
one Of the most formidable on the turf next year
The sale of the yearlings belonging to Colonel
James E. Pepper took place after the Ehret horses
had been disposed Of 1t would have been much
better to have sold them at another time, as many
of the buyers were tired and would not wait. How
ever, with the exception Of Chant they brought
what they were worth. averaging about $1,000 each.
Chant should have brought more than $1,000.
