Dear Broad RocE.-Where did you GET
the idea that the Elleraic yearlings re-
certify sold I'M Lexington. kentucky. were
not in sale condition, &c. With q single
exception they were as good lot as / ever
offered Every one who knows me-. cer-
tdlnly understands that ! do not raise
! race horses on cooked food. and keep
| them stabbed like so many beevcs, bat /
| will have them ont FOR exercise every
fair day during the winter While The
average az Lexington was hardly as much
as ] expected, yet we were selling "a
month earlier than usual ON account OF
! the uncertainty Of racing In the last. still
! believe the Ellcrslie lot made the largest
average of any yoarlngs sold az Auction
| amy where this year Even AR b. j.
| Tracey's seventeen head of race horses.
! mostly two and three years old and
! ready 10 race, aga not bring as much per
! head. They were gold at the same sta
BILE just the day before our sale.
