There was some surprise among the lin.
initiated when Adioo Dillon, a nine-year.
old mare, with a record OF 2:2iL. pacing
brought 1850 at the closing day OF the
midwinter sale in Madison Square Garden
yesterday. Followers Of the Grand CIR.
cult knew, however. that this mare had
already produced Dillon Axworthy tho
champion racing two-year-old trotter OF
the past season. She. was one of the con.
signment of the Minnesota Improvement
Company. which sent by far the best lot
Of horses TO the sale yesterday
Twcnty-six head came from Minnesota
and they sold for a total of $685., or an
average OF $74i. There We're several bar.
gains in the lot one Of which was Miss
Peter Sash, a daughter OF Peter the
Great. which IS rated as one of the hes,
two-year-olds ever sent to this market.
She brought sl,lO0, and was sold 10 Will
lam Conner OF Braddock Penn.
Although no great prices were realized
by the Patchen Wilkes stock Of Mr. Stokes.
the get Of Peter the Great, that came from
his farm and other quarters, were not Al
lowed 10 pass without respectable bids
An illustration was the purchase OF Peter
Potemkin by James Farley, the strike
breaker In addition TO being sired BY
Peter the Great, this yearling had tho
recommendation OF being out OF Adioo.
and Mr.. Farley was thought 70 be lucky
when he acquired this racing prospect
at $50.
J. V. Hunt, we'll known Speedway
driver. paid 81 80 for Fair Maiden, trot-
ter with a record OF 2:07. and the United
States was a factor in the market when
