THE STANFORD SALE.
A FIELD DAY AT THE TRACK FOR
H0RSEMEN.
Low Prices and Many Good Bargain.
Secured By the Local Breeders
GoOd-Natured Crowd and
the Seller Satisfied.

yesterday morning and an overcoat was
something not to be left at home. By
10: 80 large crowd had wended their
way to the track where the long prom
ised sale of Mrs. Staniord's horses was
the card ior the day. And while this
was not anything like a wedding out of
''culls' OF the big farm under the tall
pine, yet it was catalogue of horses
that must generally sell cheap, with an
occasional sparkler thrown in to draw
the wealthier class of bidders. On the
night previous to the sale, at the Hol-
lenbeck, the HERALD's sporting reporter
had conversation with Auctioneer
Killip, who said: I'VE have not come
down here expecting any fanciful prices
for these horses, although the catalogue
contains many of select breeding, as
you can see for yourself; and there are
several that would have gone from
$500 to $1,000 as late as November,
1891. But as you are aware. the prices
for trotters are very low all over Amer
lea, 80 much so that Mrs. Stanford will
not be apt to ship any more horses east
for Gale. The expense attending the
eastward trip is 30 great that the differ
ence in prices realized will not JUS
tify it,"
The crowd was composed of men from
all parts south of the Tehachipe, Ven
tura, Santa Barbara and San Bernar-
dino. Lee Rose represented the bean
producers OF Ventura, Mr.. Wiletts was
on hand from the home of Silkwood,
and there were dozen or more OF the
San Berdoons at call whenever a new
horse was led into the ring.
Mr.. Killip discussed the dry financial
part of the question, while his partner,
Mr.. Chase, INDUCED in little forensic
displays as new candidate would come
| forward. 1t was shortly after the hour
of IL when the sale opened with brood
mare called Neice, which went off at
$50, followed by another called Nicely,
which brought $50. The prices dragged
along painfully and nobody ever saw as
much work done for as little money as
Killip did for an hour. The first one to
go above $l50 was mare called Anna,
| in foal to Lottery, who was the dandy
of all the four stations offered. She
fell to the nod OF Walter Maben for $780,
and then the mares droned along at SOS
and SOS, till Bertha was led out and fell
to the nod of d. F. Donegan for $130,
which was very low price for an Elec-
| tionser mare, even If she was 15 years
old. After 10 head had been disposed of
| the stallion General Beverly, who had
made two or three seasons in Coluss
county, was led out, and after COM
paratively spiritless contest, was
knocked down to DR.. @. E. Smith for
1886.
When Gina was brought out, hand
some young brown mare, there was
| f1utter in the ring and bida Jumped
more rapidly than at any other time in
| the game. The doughty Donegan
stayed the longest, however, and got her
for $3.50. Charlie Chase secured bar
gain in Atbernsise at $145, and Heman-
tia went to Santa Ana for $3.50. Patera
went at $135, and then out came the
little gentleman OF the day, Lottery.
Killip worked like Trojan to get him
up to $500, but had to content himself
with $3.50, bid by Mr.. ID. F. Donegan,
who got the cheapest stallion ever sold
in the state. Two years ago Senator
Stanford priced that horse to New
York breeder at $1,000. But that is the
way that prices have declined of late.
The trotting-bred fillies came on
next, and were 10 in number, of which
brought over 500, the highest price
paid being for Caledonia, who was sold
for $40 and goes to Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

| H. Outhwaithe of Sierra Madre in
White Violet and Windfower, and
Willard Stimson got a good one in Bay
Wilma. L. l.. Breed got pickup in a
pretty two-yeer-old callen Nazaire.
The geldings brought from $50 to $3.50
each, only four going above that figure.
Two of these were match pair of geld
ings, by Clay out of Marplot. and they
brought $3.50, one of the best bargains
of the day.
The other two stations brought very
low prices, $3.50 for Azotador and 1866
for Clay boyd. During Senator Stan
ford's lifetime neither OF these horses
could have been bought for $4,000. We
append recapitulation:
