NATIONS IN FAVOR
AT OLD GLORY SALE
E. X. G.. Billings Pays $4,000
for the Six-year-Old Mare
Baroness Virginia.
STATIONS NOT IN DEMAND

Matrons rather than sires were In the
greatest demand at the Old Glory sale
which was continued in Madison Square
Garden yesterday. The choicest stock had
been reserved for the holiday bidders and
under the influence of good dinners prices
scared In the afternoon so that the high
est figure of the sale up TO that time was
reached when the eight-year-old mare
Baroness Virginia was knocked down to
the representative OF e. X. q. Billings
for 5000.
Baroness Virginia Is destined for the
Curles Neck Farm OF Mr.. Billings at Cot
nam, Virginia, and during the afternoon
several other likely producers were gath
cred In including Roberta Bingen, a daugh-
ter of Bngen. for $1,000. II the old
maxim Breed to the winner is correct.
Baroness Virginia has n great career be-
fore her, for she il one of the few that
went to the stud winner Of the triple
crown OF trotting. besides having the good
three ycar-old mark of - JOS 4. That
her progeny IS already in demand was
proved when a few minutes after the mare
had been sold her ueaul.ng bay colt 10y
Peter the Great was knocked down for
sl,025, by far the best price for a wean-
ling realized at this sale.
Baroness Virginia was one OF the lot
sent to the auction by Chelsea Farm.
owned by the Estate OF Gen. Brayton Ives
II was by far the best consignment of the
day and the twenty-five head sold for
sl5,l35, or an average of t6ss. The only
real disappointment Of the Chelsea Farm
! lot was the small price brought by the
siN-year-old stallion Silent Brigade with
n wo-year-old record OF 9 10 "a II was
expected that he would be one OF the top
notchcrs. hut the breeders evidently con-
/ sidcrcd him as not Of the fashionable
line and he went to the stable of W. H.
orr of Reading. Pa. for the paltry amount
OF 81 900.
At the night session the top price OF
the sale was reached WHOM the nine-year-
old gelding Dago was pa. up He has
