'OLD GLORY" SALE TO Be GREATEST
IN THE HISTORY OF HORSEDOM

get a lot of money in the bushes next
year. During the last season this horse
did particularly well under adverse condi,
tions. He got off early in the season and
was never at his best. yet he raced from
Decoration Day right up to October, and
was but once behind the money. The
bright particular star at Thursdays ses-
sion will be the worlds champion year
ling PAGER Frank Perry, who during the
last season at Lexington took q yearllns
record of 2:15.
Aside from his phenomenal speed this
young stallion has a blood Inheritance
second to none. He was sired by Tod
dington, 2:20 "a son of Moko and out OF
Fanella, the dam of Sadie Mac, 2;0614,
and the mighty Todd, 2:14sa). His dam Is
Lilworthy, dam of three, and an own SIS
ter to Guy Axworthy. 2:0Sh, Lady Bryan,
2:i2h. at one time owned by George A.
Oil, jr, OF this city. will also be an at
traction Thursday. While owned by Mr..
OH this mare mad a sensational cam
paign over the half-mile tracks in the
stable of /. G.. STEELE, who ave her her
present record. She attracted attention
of horsemen all over the country, and at
the close of the season she was sold to a
patron of Tommy Murphy for $500.
In the hands of the Poughkeepsie
trainer the mare has never been a sue
cess. As a matter of fact she has never
started in a race since he took hold OF
her. She was always a peculiar mare to
handle. and Mr.. STEELE. who raced her 50
successfully. always told me that Murphy
would never get her number. II there is
a popularity about this mare known to
no one but S%telle-and under the circun-
stances this would appear to be the situa-
tion-she would be a right good kin of a
mare for some local enthusiast to buy and
turn over to that trainer. In 1908. while
the property of Mr.. Obi, she raced like "A
demon over the half-mile tracks. and in
the autumn of that year over the South
ern tracks she was the real bear-cat and
sac. 81 tHa IL HNvIIah III 81 ~ nn
Space does not permit a review Of all the
sensational offerings Thursday, yet the
following are most worthy Of mentions:
Don Labor, 2:05i4; Hailworthy. 2:O014; the
sensational yearling trottce Belwin Nc
Kinney, 2:21h; Kinney Lou. 2:0794, all the
way from California and the sire of the
worlds champion yearling trotting stall
lion Wilbur Lou Cd. 2:l91s; The Huguenot,
Sterling Hall, 2:141la, one of the best trot
tiers that raced in the bushes during
the last season, and the stallion Silent
Brook, sire Of the sensational Billy Burke,
2:O3s4.
Others TO Get New Homes.
Among the high-class PAGERS that will
find a new home might be mentioned
the much talked of Branham B~aughman,
2:0514, from the stable of Walter Cox.
Sarah Ann Patch, 2:061a. from the same
outfit, together with Asa Wilkes, 2:O312'
and Ernest, 2:05$i, both of which were also
raced by Walter CoX during the past
season. Friday will be of particular in
terest to local horsemen because of the
fact that several local horses will parade
for the high dollar. Conspicuous among
these are the gray pacing gelding Frank
Plummer, owned by Hunt brothers.; Jack,
by Silent Brook. owned by Mike Harris,
and the bay mare, Louise Bellman, at one
time in the stable of a local trainer,
Bill Miller, who is at this time train
ing the Jacob Roth outfit. The PAGERS,
June Bug, 2:1lA, and Danwood, 2:12i4.

a new home Friday. as will the bay pac-
ing gelding Maxfeld Patchen, 2:14lh; at
one time in the stable of Theodore Max
field, the Bloomfield trainer. Another
horse that will be sold and has a chance
to come to Newark. is Aulsbrook, a
2-year-old half-brother to the roam stall
lion Mcneil. owned by James Burns, of
this city. This colt is out Of the roam
sired by Bingara, one of the very best
sons of the mighty Bingen, 2:064. I'm
like Mcneil, this colt Is a %trotter, and
while the Anvil Chorus have been after
the roam horse ever since he landed in
Newark, l know a good horseman who
is up to something that will give better
than a fair price for this half-brother by
Bingara, provided, of course. that he is
sound and as good an Individual as the
roam horse.
While Saturdays offerings would perhaps
appear to he a somewhat Indifferent lot,
there are several horses among them that
would appear worthy of special attention.
Among The humber are Rio Alto () 2:16ta,
sire OF the local horses Nathan Hale and
Retriever. bred by George Stengel. This
horse also has a pacing record of 2:21S4,
and. while he is 20 years old. he is one OF
the best things ever bred by Senator
stanford at his famous "Palo Alto Farm
at Menlo Park, Cal.
The bay gelding Widlar, whom Billy
Coville, the local trainer, gave a record
Of 2:16si mt Lebanon, Pa, in 1908. will also
be offered. This fellow is Il brother to
that good race horse Carroll, 2.09A, and
at Goshen this year Billy Snow. who
trained Widlar this year. told me That he
had worked him q mile at indianapolis
IN 2:09ls with an aillng leg. He believed
that ii he could be kept sound he would
race right at 2:05. Kitty Mac, 2:19A, trot.
ting, at one time owned by William
Whatton, OF Irvington. and in foal to the
local stallion King Crystal. 2:1414, is also
on the list OF offerings Saturday. This
mare was at all times a good race mare,
ard nothing but the rankest kind of rae
ing luck prevented her from getting a
on a trot.
Bobby Good, 2:22%. who was given his
record at Mineola by Mike Fleming while
owned by Richard Delafield, the New
York banker, will also be sold, and while
he looks like a toy, horse, he has won
