TROTTERS IN DEMAND.
THREE At FANCY. PRICES.
Guy ArSoorthy Sold for $500 at
old Glory Sale.

champion trotter of 1906. was the star Of the
Old Glory horse sale at Madison Square Garden
Yesterday He was sold to A. Gorscn. of this
city, after some lively bidding for IS. 100. John
H Shuts, who consigned the great trotter, ex-
pressed the opinion that he was the ,fastest
horse ever sired by AxwOrthy. and that he would
retire with record of 2:O5 or better If properly
trained next year. Guy Axworthy was bred 10
fifteen mares a three-year-Old. and his get
were in almost as much demand yesterday as
were the get of his sire, which brought uni
formly good prices.
Two other horses were sold for fancy prices,
Angus Pointer, which took a pacing mark OF
2:O1& this year and holds the worlds pacing
race record to wagon of 2:O4h. knocked
down to Charles f. Rounds of Bristol. Vt, Tor
ST 400 while Grace Bond, the champion three
year-old trOtter of 1904 when she took a mark
of 2:09N, was sold to W. E. D. Stokes, Of this
city, for $1,000.
The tota! sales for the day amounted to $72,-
s65, proof enough that there is no lack Of buy
ers for good stock. The grand total for three
days is $140, ,662
ers of the day. Besides bidding in Grace Bond
he bought Phalla for $S,7OO Preoria Bingen for
$780, Belle Archer for $3.50 and Priscilla Bond
for $500
Sunol, the worlds champion trotter to a high
wheel sul1y and the holder Of six worlds trot-
ting records in her day, was sold for the paltry
price Of $40O to a. B. Coke, of Paoli Penn. She
is twenty-one years DID, and her days OF useful-
ness are practically over
Horsemen, who are here from all parts OF the
United States and Canada, are looking forward
to the dispersal of the East View Farm TO-
morrow with more than usual interest IL
marks the closing out of all the fast trotters
and PAGERS belonging TO James Butler and IN
view of the recent Court of Appeals decision IN
favor of the Empire City track this move or
Mr.. Buffers IS significant No man Is fonder
OF the light harness hOrse-and there Is probably
no better amateur driver in the country. NO
breeding stud is more popular or has been more
successful or profitable than East View Farm
and no campaigning stable belonging TO an IN
dividual owner has been moro prominent on the
Grand Circuit for the last ten years.
Horsemen are puzzled 10 know why tnere
should be a closing out sale after so much sue
cess and Mr.. Butler declines to give reason.
An intimate friend of his says that this move
can have only one meaning, and suggests that
with the status of the Empire City track settled
by the highest court for all time in Mr.. Buffers
favor the dispersal Of the East View trotting
stud is undoubtedly paving the way for heavy
investment in thOroughbreds.
No matter what the reason may be, horsemen
In the Garden consider this the most important
dispersal sale that has taken place there since
the closing out of the horses belonging to the
late Marcus Daily and William f. Spier, some
seven years ago. The general opinion Is that
King Direct (2:042i), the champion matinee pac-
ing stallion of the world, will bring the top
price of the sale, although many breeders are
inclined 10 give the preference to Directum
Kelly C2:OS1D, the most successful speed string
son OF Direct C2:051a). On the other hand.
eral racing men say that The Phantom C2:1Ois)
will bring the top price He has proved himself
a Campaigner of wonderful bottom and endur-
ance is only five years old and is eligible to
the III class. Good judges say he is the best
trotter in sight for this class.
The meeting of the American Association of
Trotting Horse, Breeders which was to have
taken place last night at the Hoffman House,
was adjourned until tomorrow afternoon at )
o'clock at Madison Square Garden.
The leading sales yesterday follow:
