Atterbury Prize-Winner Brings
Top Price at Old Glory
Sale.

NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-The horse
of the classes c1ashed with the horse
of the masses at the opening of tho
annual Old Glory auction in Madison
Square Garden yesterday and so far
as prices realized went the aristo-
cratic show saddle horses had the
better of the argument with their
more democratic brethren of the trot-
ting track.
There was rush to surround the
auctioneer when the handsome gray
gelding Nickel Plate was brought out
at o'clock to be sold to the highest
bidder, in spite of the fact that he
had won a valuable cup outright for
his owner at the show which ended
on Saturday, in addition to another
blue ribbon.
or the 1000 or. more persons who
watched the sale only two were
stirred into activity by the announces
ment by Auetioneer George Balm that
Nickel Plate had won championships
at the national show in 1912, and la
1918 at Plainfield, Long Branch, New
port, Morristown and Piping Rock.
These were John r. Townsend, who
had awarded enough blues to Miss
Atterbury's champion to be aware OF
his quality, and James Houchin, OF
Jefferson City, Mo. The opening bid
was $500 and the price jumped 500 a
clip until il scared to $500 With half
century advances the offers quickly
reached 81, 200. Then it went along at
k25 increases until Mr. Townsend quit
at S1,400 and the prize of the day
was knocked down to the Missourian
for SLABS.
Patricia, which has won in pair
classes with Nickel Plate, also was
knocked down to the bid of Mr.
Houchin, but for the much smaller
figure of 1876, while Kildare, q good
