week. Not only is this the
colo evor scheduled to take place IN
America i'm point of numbers ana quai-
itv but the horses to go under tne
hammer are well known and have been
contributing to turf history Tor the iast
twenty years. ,-, -
r,,;s sale means the dispersal OF
stations and brood mares that preeu,
ers have been years IN eonectlhB allu
,yben their fancies and ideas of breed
ing were about to be suited death
stepped i'm and put an end to their
nsnirations and ambitions on the turf.
such is the case that necessitated
tbe Dispersal of the Senorita STUD es-
tablished by the late Captain ). >.
Brown of Pittsburg; of the Oakwood
Farm owned by the ill-fated G. r. Nc
Meekin, of this city, and James Il. Nc
Donald of New York, who were killed
i'm a railroad wreck at Salisbury, Eng
land.
This enormous sale does not mean
that the interest in the breeding of
thoroughbreds is waning, for many of
the stations have become too old for
service and the mares unproliflc. The
sires which have been successful and
the mares which have been producers,
it is predicted, will bring the best
prices ever recorded in the annals of
American thoroughbred sales.
BeIvidere to Go
Notwithstanding his age, BelvidereI
brother to the famous Sir Dixon and
daddy of Ssalvidere. the 2-year-old
champion of 1906, is expected to sell at
a high figure, for already there are
breeders here to bid on him. Not
withstanding the age of Imp. ST.
George, the potent sire of Grey Friar
Iucian Appleby, Mamie Worth and
fifty other winners, will bring good
price. The best prices for the stall
lions. however, will be realized un-
doubtedly for Garry Herman, Broom
stick and Imp. Woolsthorpe.
Despite the fact that Silk Crown, the
dam of Garry Herman, is pulling a
plow in the cotton fields of Georgia or
filling an unmarked grave on south
ern plantation, her great son is pro-
ducer of winners. His first crop of 2
year-olds went to the post this year
and out of the number are the sterllnS
younsters Penarris and j. G. Core. He
is named for the president of the Cln-
cinnati base ball team.
Despite the fact that ]. r. Keene
discarded Imp. Elf, dam of Broom
stick, as not being worthy of place
in his blue grass pastures, her first
foal after he sold her for song was
Broomstick, the only stallion in Amer
lea to win at a distance of one and a
quarter miles in 2.20 As. No race is
more historic than the Brighton Handi-
cap of 1904, in which Broomstick, Irish
Lad and Ort Wells finished noses and
necks on the posts with Broomstick a
nose to the good.
1t was a grand race and won by the
same courage that enabled Ben Brush,
the sire of Broomstick, to take the

Bem Eden.
Imp Woolsthorpe has not been liv-
ing in America, as he is an English
man. Nevertheless, he bred twenty
seven winners in 1905 and bears the
distinction of being the progenitor of
Lady Vera, a 2-year-old, which holds
the 61k furlong record, and of Grapple,
winner of the Metropolitan Handicap
this year. He belongs to the late G. F..
McMeel1in and Colonel Milton Young,
of McCrathiana Stud. and his sale is
the result of Mr. McMeekin's death.
If there is anything pathetic in a
horse sale, surely the sale of old Lin
den will bring a feeling of regret to
every horseman. He is one of the last
sons OF Longfellow and at the age of
23 is to be sold, possibly to be bought
by the Breeders association, to spend
the remainder of his days on Texas
ranch. Linden has sired no less than
seventy winners with but limited op-
portunitieS.
If there is anything lacking in the
quality of the stations, it is made up
in the quality of the mares. In this
sale will go under the hammer Fatty,
the dam of Aristocracy;- Imp. Yseult,
dam of Yardarm LumaX, sister to Mex
lean; Vanessa. dam, of Bat Materson;
Sallie McAlister, dam of Bearcatcher;
Butterflies. winner OF the Futurity;
Carrie c., dam of Jean Beraud; Nettle,
dam of High Degree = Bella Mia, sister
to Belldame; Footprints, sister to Gold
Heels; Sis Himyar, dam of The Mus
keteer; Audience, winner of the Ken
lucky and Tennessee Oaks; Reckon,
dam of Accountant; Sallie of Navarro,
dam Of Salvidere; Belle of Troy many
times a stake winner; Lampover, sis
ter to Dick Wells and Ort Wells.
1t will be seen the sale contains
Reckon, dam of Accountant, winner of
$S4,120, the biggest money winning g.
year-old, and Sallie Of Navarro, dam of
Salvidere. the biggest money winning
2-year-old of 1906, the best brood mares
in America.

Mr.. Janver made visit to Lexington
last week to see the breeding plant
that is being established there by j. X.
Newman of New York, and it was
during this visit that his plans were
made known.
Mr.. Newman owns Nellie Jay 90,
214h a daughter of Jay Hawker,
2l4&, dam of Paronella, half-sister
to Maltise c., 2.17A. which is in foal
to Dreamer, 2,14h. If Nella jays foal
is colt, and Malise C. Is a filly. vice
versa. then either Mr.. Janvier or Mr.
Newman will have the opportunity to
get a trotter whose grand dam is Par

eat-grandsire, Oakland Baron, 2.09A,
sire OF Dreamer.
Which Is the best green trotter? is
the question going the rounds of the
owners and trainers. Those who are
familiar with the work of Ormonde
are prone to give him front seat with
the best Of them. His trials last year
were satisfactory in every particular,
