The horses sold were nearly all young, blockey, useful farm animals, and wete pretty well divided between fillies and geldings. They were an exceptionally fine lot, and eVery animal was guaranteed sound. The bidding was brisk and very satisfactory pri es were realized. The fillies sold most rea ily, and brought from $100 to $150, wh le the geldings, as a rule, were sold for sin lier figures, The hammer was wielded by r. Thomas Brown, and the clever man- ner in which he managed the sale, was a sub'ect of general remark.
