Before the races yesterday there was a
sale Of racehorses in the paddock which
provided an interesting incident. Among

Eugenia Rurch. who during her career on
the turf won ste.775 in stakes and purses
for her owner. Mrs. l.. Curtis. When Auc-

who stood on the other side OF the sales ring
ard did not see Marshall, raised the figures

Whitney boosted the price to 5000. The
hiddinG continued until Marshall got the
figures n 81. 500.
"Seventy-siX.- said Mr.. whitney, but the
eolored man raised il another hundred
"Seventyeight!" cried the young millionaire

with another century. Then Mr.. Whitney
bid 5000 and the mare was Knocked down

breeding establishment at ~Brookdale. When
the mare was sold Mrs. Curtis was in tears.
She stroked Eugenia Burch's nose just before
the latter was led away and said:
" have no more sugar for you, dear! Good

Mr.. whitney said afterward that he was
we'll satisfied with his purchase. although
hs would not have raised the figures so high
n Marshall had not been bidding against
him.
