At Agricultural Park tomorrow, COM
mencing at 10 o'clock, there will be sold
a collection of thoroughbred yearlings.
| which for breeding and Individuality
have never before been offered at public
auction in this State.
The lot consists of some fifteen head of
fine-looking youngsters whose blood
lines trace to the most famous racehorses
OF the present day. The breeder, Hon.
l.. L. Shippee of Stockton, has spent
thousands of dollars in Kentucky in Sc
curing his great foundation stud, and a
careful perusal Of the catalogues of this
sale will convince the most skeptical that
better lot was never brought to this
coast. Descendants OF the sires Fellow

Ban, out of Hearsay, by imp. Australian.

DAILY and Woodburn, all great sires, and
besides this, all of these mares are out of
the most famous producers in America.
Their names stand high in the annals of
equine fame.
The demand for first-class thorough
breds Is growing one, and the prices re-
ceived by breeders to-day are ten times
higher than they were three years ago,
and as the supply is not equal to the de-
maud 1t behooves all farmers and horse
breeders who desire to realize quick re-
turns for their Investments to attend this
sale and purchase at their own prices the
very choicest. The boom" in thorough
breds on this coast is not a false one. 1t
has taken hold of the lovers OF racing in a
way that will survive for generations,
for this is the equine paradise of the
world, and hundreds of breeders in the
East are watching the westward march of
Ormonde and the establishment of great
breeding farms here. The large race
meetings to be held annually in San
Francisco will exhaust supply of fast
horses, hence the prices will always be
good. And now that an opportunity pre-
sents itself for all TO get a few good ones
it should not be neglected. AT the last
Shlppee sale every animal sold increased
in value, and to-day not one of them
could be purchased for three times what
they cost. All the youngsters proved
themselves racehorses of the highest type,
yet none of them equaled the lot to be
sold tomorrow.
Catalogues can be had on application to
the box office at the Park, and everyone
who has any idea of making money in
the horse business should purchase one
of the colts or fillles offered. The great
sire, John A., by Monday, will also be
sold. He has proved his value and Will
pay for himself in one year. Some of the
dams of the colts to be sold are now
owned by the greatest breeders in Cali
fOrnia, and will be bred to Ormonde, st.
Savior, Merriwa, Brutus, imp. Cyrus, Sir
Modred, Salvador, Wildidle, Emperor of
Norfolk and other famous horses. Their
produce will be trained and the value of
each and every one OF their half brothers
and sisters, to be sold at this sale, will be
enhanced. Most of the youngsters are
related on the dams side to the greatest
racehorses now seen on the circuit, and
this winter many OF them will appear as
winners at the Bay District track, where
over Go good colts and fillies will be
needed to compete in the events now un-
der consideration. Remember killip &
Co. Will begin the sale promptly at 10
