WILLIAMS STRING

BeHwether, Star of Sale, Goes
TO Walker; Hiidrefh Gets
FireSfOne

L. H. Williams, president Of the
California Jockey club, is no longer
interested in racing as owner of
horses. According to program. his en-
tire racing string, with the exception
Of several horses that he had presented
to personal friends, was sold at the
Emeryvile race track yesterday. The
sale was conducted by Fred H. Chase &
Co, and yielded eminently satisfactory
results. The &c head of horses that
made up the sale brought an aggre-
gate OF s12,615. which is about $4,000
over and above the appraisement put
upon them by Chase In advance of the
sale. AS expected there was keen COM
petition for Firestone, Bellwether. Ru-
bia Granda, Tom Hayward and Old
Mexico. the stars of the string
To the general surprise OF turfmen,
Bellwether proved the star of the sale.
William Walker became the owner of
this consistent aud useful horse for
o. Turek, who was likewise possessed
OF an ardent desire to own the animal
which cost Williams only. 81 900 last
fall. Firestone, for which It was gen
orally expected the highest price would
be realized. brought only s1S00. Fire
stone was knocked down to S. c. Hill
dreth. from whom Williams purchased
Ile morse as q : year old 1or SIC O00O. 1t
was the unanimous opinion that Fire
stone would prove the bargain of the
sale. There seemed TO be a disincIina-
tion to bid on him on account OF his un-
ruly disposition. But for this draw
back the horse would undoubtedly have
brought much more. Some OF the horses
that went at nominal sums will be used
for saddle and driving purposes, but
most of the lot will continue to race in
the colcrs of their new owners. The
full reports of the sale follows:
