TRIES TO CLIMB IN BOX.
Fractions Fdly Causes Excitement
at old Glory Sale.

The Old Glory sale of light harness horses was
continued yesterday at Madison Square Garden
with the show of interest which marked
the opening day week ago Sightseers were
out in force as usual. most of the seats on
the 26th-st side of the Garden being occupied
afternoon and evening. Lovers of the horse
never seem to tire Of the show. for such the
showing of the horses to sulky or to saddle
amounts to.
During the evening the spectators were treated
to an exciting incident which interrupted the
monotony and gave number of women visitors
a momentary fright.
bay FLY being resold, and the veteran
driver Al Thomas, mounted on a saddle horse,
was driving the spirited youngster to exhibit her
good points, when suddenly the flly swered
from the track and dashed up the stairway
leading to the reserved seat section. A number
of women seated in the nearby boxes screamed
eXcltedly as the fractious animal paved at the
rail of their stall, and, grabbing up their skirts,
made somewhat haSty and rather undignified
scramble over the backs of the seats out Of
harms way
Thomas skilfully whirled the horse about and
turned him into the track again, but in passing
the main entrance she made another break and
dashed through the opening among the crowd
making its way into the Matters looked
somewhat serious for a moment, but police
man grabbed the bit Of the unruly hlly and led
her back into the ring.
Miss Kinney proved the chief attraction or
the afternoon session. This nine-year-old trotter
is not stranger to the sales ring. She was
purchased at the Old Glory auction last year by
William Simpson for $1,7O0. When offered yes
eyes on her. it did not take long to run the
price up to $1,7O0. There it hung for time
and then advanced slowly by $40 and $50 to
5000, at which price she was knocked down to
r. w. Smith, of Newark acting an agent.
It seemed to be the general opinion among
horsemen that she was well sold. although not
oversold, In addition to her value as ROAD
and matinee horse her breeding makes her worth
all of that price for stud purposes.
Miss Kinney has a race record or Z. IV24, ana
a close study of her performances would tndl-
cate that this is not the limit of her speed. She
is by that good stallion Mckinney, the sire OF
seventy-four in the list, including Coney, Z'Uz;
China Maid, 2:05A; Sweet Marie, 2:C4h and
Kinney Lou, 2:07&-

lam Simpsons Empire City Farms, and they

The Mount Kisco Farm consignment OF twenty
eight horses also averaged well. The total was
SS,3o0 average of S29S.
One of the best green trotting prospects of the
sale was Judy Oro which went to Edward Ben
yon, of Lexington. KY, for $50. She mas
worked eighths over the farm track in 10 sec
onds and is likely to develop into a good win
ner next year. Belle Orc, a pure galIed ana
evidently level headed trotter, brought $40 G.
A Thompson, of Yonkers. being the buyer she
has never been raced. but has trial over a
half mile track of 2:2712.
