The sale Of Australian thorougnbreds
imported into this country by r. E. de b.
Lopez took place yesterday afternoon at
the Bay District Track, killip d Co.
officiating as auctioneers.
There was an average attendance, but
purchasers were few and far between. and
the bidding for what can conscien tiously
be called the very finest consignment, bar
none. of thoroughbred stock ever brought
together in this country was Of the dullest
and most spiritless character.
Among those present we're: A. b.
Spreckels, who might be said to be the only
real purchaser, and who was allowed the
field all to himself. though the auctioneer
tried TO explain the financial relationship
between him and the vendor, John
Mackey, Cy Mulkey, Walter (of Walter &
Dargen), Barney Schneider, Charles Kings
ley. Joe UIlmaD, Nose Gunst. George
