OLD GLORY SALE ENDS.
TOTAL CLOSE TO RECORD.
Horse Market Strong in Spite of the
Money Stringency.

The thirteenth annual Old Glory sale of light
harness horses by the Fasig-Tipton Company
came TO an end at Madison Square Garden yes
terday- The grand total for the eight days
amounted to S413.140, which gives ample proof
OF the remarkable strength of the horse market
at a time when the stringency in the money
market has been cause for some alarm. Only
three times in the history of the sale has this
total been beaten. In 1901 $50 head including
the Marcus Daily and Spfer horses sold for
S439,,i"o- In 1904 the total was S441.115, when
Major Delmar, Sadie Mac, DR.. Strong and the
famous Village Farm breeding establishment
were disposed of. Last year the total reached
S424,936, when Axworthy was sold for S21, 900
and Sweet Marie for $4,000
All things considered this years sale was
the best, perhaps ever held in the Garden, as
there We're not many horses which ran into big
figures, and the stock on three days at least
was of a kind to bring the average down and
make record figures impossible Todd (214aD
sire Of Kentucky Todd brought the ton price
when William Bradley secured him for S3OO 900
In all probability he was one Of the bargains
OF the sale. even at these big figures as he has
an earning power of not less than $4,000 a year
IN stud fees. Guy Axworthy brought IS 100 and
his new owner could have resold him at a nice
proht shortly after buying him, but could
be tempted. while Direct Hal was knocked down
for $4,000
There was slight falling off in the attend
ance yesterday, but a good sized crowd was on
hand afternoon and evening looking for bar
gains, and getting them. too, in some cases
Ihere seemed 10 be no lack of buyers. in spite
OF the fact that the pick of the one thousand or
more horses had been disposed of
Empress T, five-year-old green trotting
mare, brought top price at the afternoon ses-
sion She was purchased by c. B. Waters of
TINS city, for $500. She was separately timed in
a race this year in 2:22. and. judging from the
way she moved in the Garden, is likely to take
a mark Of 2:15 in which case Mr.. Waters got
bargain.
Thirty-one horses were offered in addition TO
the 992 listed for sale in the catalogue. This
was a supplemental list, and included Marina
duke, q brown gelding by Aleton-Clear the
Way. with a trottng record of l:1O for half a
mile. consigned by E. D. Morgan. He was bought
by j. H Andrews. Of Mineola, Long Island, for
$3.50.
seventy-three horses were sold yesterday for
$l0672, an average of $145 per head. The lead
