Inc eleventh annual Old Glory auction sale
| of light harness horses by the Fasig- Upton
Company began yesterday in Madison Square
Garden. 1t will continue throughout this week
and part of next, days and evenings. Some Of
the best stock in the country will go under the
hammer. including Cresceus 2:02A the worlds
champion trotting stallion. The sale was well
attended yesterday, and while the prices did not
average well as can be looked for later in
| the week there seemed to be lack of buyers
when promising stock was offered.
From the show ring last week to the sales
| ring this, Madison Square Garden has under
gone one of its many quick and startling transi-
tions. The horse is still the centre of attraction
| but under surroundings vastly different. The
gay hangings of orange and black had given
| place to glaring advertisements. The prone
| made, where thousands strolled in gorgeous at
| tire, had been converted into miniature trot-
ting track, where the horses to be sold could be
shown to speed. The ring where the stars of
the equine world had struggled for the coveted
blue ribbons had every appearance of small
sized country fair. 1t was a place where
freshments could be had and appointments per-
tanning to the horse exhibited. The boxes. where
the queens of fashion had sat to see and to he
seen, were filed with hard headed horsemen,
who were there on the outlook for bargain.
The sightseers were there, however as we'll as
buyers There seems to be fascination about
auction sale, whether 1t be of bric-a-brac or
horses, which appeals to the average person.
Through the afternoon and evening sessions the
seats in the 26th-st. side of the Garden, facing
the auctioneer's block, crowded. The at
tendance in the evening was fully three thousand
persons, including many women. They found
much to interest and entertain. The trotters
were sent around the miniature track to suky or
saddle horse at the highest speed possible in the
somewhat narrow confines. "Al" Thomas than
whom there is no better driver, showed the
horses to the accompaniment of voice and snap
ping of whip in daring, dashing way which
gave a touch of the plains and proved quite as
entertaining to many the more elaborate show
last week.
Eleven hundred horses will be sold. and over
three hundred breeding farms and private in
dividuaIs have made consignments to the sale.

teen-year-old brood mare Gazele brought top
price of this lot, and of the afternoon for that
matter. After spirited bidding she was

brood mare. She is the dam of Golock 2:05A,

in the Charter Oak Stakes at Hartford after
winning the first two heats.
E. T. Barnette purchased zelma, the two
