DIR. W. Seward Webb is TO sell at
auction next month 80 head of blooded
horses from his stock farm at Shell
burne. The sale will, it is claimed,
surpass any other hackney sale ever
held in this country, and will include
DIR. Webb's celebrated stallion,
"Matchless of Londesboro," with 80 |
of his get. The offering will also in
clude number OF imported brood |
mares which have been notable prize |
winners at the horse shows. Match
less OF Londesboro is one of the great /
est-if not the greatest-hackney sires /
in this country and will, no doubt, |
fetch very fancy price at the coming /
sale despite the depressed horse mar
ket. Many OF the finest show and /
carriage horses of our wealthy classes |
in this country are the get OF this stall
lion and can be readily picked out by
their fine conformation and beautiful |
action. A horse with pedigree show
ing strains of Matchless of Londesbo-
TO blood in him invariably sells well.
The sale will certainly be one of the /
most important ever held in this coun-
try and will, no doubt, attract buyers
from every section.
