day of the mldwlnter sale at Madison
Square Garden yesterday augur well for
the future of the trotter and PAGER. Sem
ator Bailey's lot OF forty brought si,5io. an
average of S2i5 a head. This average mas
never been eqUalled for so large NUMBER
even when the light harness horse ruled
the turf world and horsemen We'd with ono
another in purchasing the best.
The TOP price Of the day was 5000. l. '.
Hardness paid this for Helen Hale. SIX
year-old trotting mare by Prodigal and Inc
Red SILK Helen held the worlds t"o-year-
old record of 213ia three years ago out
since that time has been kept for nroo1
mare. Sbyl Knight full sister 10 helen
Hale also went to the Walnut Hall STOCK
Farm. Although Sibyl Is two years
younger than her sister. she Is consldered
quite as fast Mr.. Harkness gave S'cO tor
her after some spirited bidding.
The dam of these two young mares was
next offered for sale. and Mr.. Harkness se-
cured her also. Although she Is nearly
twenty years old, he evidently considered
her worth g. 700. for that is the price he was
compelled TO pay for her. Altogether, thir-
teen horses were transferred from Fairland
Farm TO Walnut Hall Farm. and for tho
number Mr. Harkness paid s29.lOO an aver
aeg of g, ,239 a head.

den was another New York enthusiast VINO
has taken advantage of the sale TO add 10
his strinC. He bought Lucy Prodigai yes
terday for 81 900. which was the exact price
paid for her dam, Lucy Allen. The younger
Lucy is only "A few months Old but MI

DR.. Chase. 2:loi.. the old Speedway cham
pion. went under the hammer at the close
~ the afternoon sale. He brought only
800 and went TO William l.. Adams' OF
