OLD GLORY SALE OPENS
Madison Square Garden Shorn of
Sp'endor for Horse Auction.
RICHARD DELAFIELD BUYER
Secures Belle Bingen, Best
Trotter Shown. for Top
Price Of S1,400.

The beiewelled and flower trimmed Madi-
son Square Garden of last week. with its
crystal chandeliers and its diaphanou>
dra peries, was scarcely recognizable yester-
day as the scene of the Old Glory horse
sale, It was hard to imagine that the
gloomy and none too well heated arena,
with its rough, temporary booths, where
catalogues and news of the sale might be
obtained for the asking, had so recently
held autocratic gentlemen in frock coats
and silk hats whose duty il WAS to dis
pense the awards; pink coated guards and
blue and gold coated buglers.
There was no dearth of entertainment at
the opening of the Old Glory sale, however,
and even to the uninitia ted the miniature
track which took the place of the board
walk of last week was a source of never
ceasing interest; all of the baby trotters
which came before the public for the first
time Yesterday We're not as we'll broken
as might be, and they did not make their
debut with the SeIf-poSsesSion expected
form such an aristocratic assemblage. One
young debutante aged six months backed
into the fence, and no amount of persua-
sion had any effect on her. She also
learned that two objects cannot occupy the
same space at the same time. and prompt
ly tried to get the fence out of the way.
With q fervor worthy of better cause she
beat a tattoo on the boards with her tiny
hoofs until some one finally managed to
get behind her and shove her out into the
ring
The first consignment of stock from the
Ardmaer Farm went under the hammer,
and the entire afternoon was given to the
selling of the Ringen stock most of them
baby trotters foaled in 1903 and 1910. Ard
maer Farm was started in the spring of
1908. when William Bradley made up his
mind one day that he would like to try
his luck at raising trotters, and If some of
the youngsters which came into the ring
yesterday are criterion, the Ardmaer
Farm bids fair to produce some wonders.
]. S. Murray, of Goshen, who has brought
out many light harness champions, bought
several youngsters for Richard Delafield.
The best of these, Belle Bingen. brought
the highest price of the day, $1.400. Belle
was just six months old yesterday but she
had all of the self-possession of old
campaigner. She is a wonderful little trot-
ter and when she was sent round the ring
she never made a break and even when
she heard the whip cracking behind her
she just showed more speed When she
was finally brought up before the auction
eel, the bids came fast and furious, without
any soliciting from Mr.. Balm. Mr.. Murray
had evidently spotted a coming champion
and the little filly went to him for 81, 400
During the day 122 horses went under the
hammer and brought the sum of 49, ,445, an
average of s245 a. head. which is consider
ably below the average of last years open
ing day.
