specially those Interested in Clydes

aw the horse sold myself and will say

horse. In fact he is faultless all over.
He is hooked ahead for 3 years at
two hundred dollars, one hundred
down.
This is the native horse of Scot
land and the supply Is nj?ver equal to
the demand. This is th$ hunting sea
eon and I had the pleasure of being
ut with them one day and one run
but got no brush. We have been all
over Scotland and Ireland and are
leaving here Immediately after the
New Tear for England, France and
Germany. Will be back about the
first of February.
Mr. Dan McKenzie joins me In
wishing you a Merry Xmas and a
Happy New Tear.
From Tour Friend,
A. B. McEWEN,
Of Athena.
The famous horse sale as reported
by the newspaper of Ayre was as fol
lows: No sale has created so much inter
est in agricultural circles In Ayrshire
and Scotland generally than that of
"Baron o' Buchlyvie," the famous
Clydesdale stallion, which was exposed
at auction yesterday in the Horse
Repository of Messrs James Craig
(Limited), the well-known Ayr auc
tioneers. The protracted litigation
which recently terminated In the
House of Lords added zest to the pro
ceedings, and hundreds were drawn
by curiosity to the scene of the sale.
So great was the crush In the Re
pository that It was Intimated that
the sale would take place outside, but
to this course the joint owners, Mr.
Kilpatrlck, Craigie Mains, and Mr.
Dunlop Dunure Mains, demurred. One
result of this announcement was that
many lost their places, and were un
able to gain admission to the build
ing on their return. The "Baron" all
Unconscious of the Fuss
he was creating, walked about the
ring, the cynosure of all eyes. He
seemed to carry his 12 years lightly,
and those best able to judge described
him as fit and welL Speculation has
been rife for weeks past as to the fig
ure he would fetch, and many and
varied have been the estimates.
About one o'clock, the time appoint
ed for the sale, Mr. Craig, who oc
cupied the rostrum in person, Inti
mated that he had received word from
the G. and S.-W. Railway Company
that a contingent of Englishmen were
on the way to see the horse sold, and
asking that the sale might be delayed
a little. Mr. Craig stated that he
would delay for ten minutes, but no
longer. Within that short space of
time many more people found their
"way to the Repository, and by the
time the sale commenced the
Baron" Had Little Space,
left in which to show himself off. A
brief spaoe elapsed during the time
Mr. Craig read over the conditions of
the sale, which bore, inter alia, that
the Joint owners reserved the right
to purchase the "Baron" which would
be sold without any waranty and could
not be rejected by the purchasers.
It was seen at the outset that the
joint owners meant business. Mr.
Dunlop occupied a prominent place
at Mr. Craig's right hand, and Mr.
Kirkuatrick was close beside the auc
tioneer on the left.
The sale lasted just twenty minutes
but the memory of that brief space,
and the tense excitement of it, will be
long remembered. Mr. Craig said he
was not particular where they start
ed he would take either 5000 or
10,000 for a start. Mr. Rennie,
Paisley, promptly responded with
A Bid Of 3000.
which nonplussed the belittlers of the
"Earon." Hundred pound bids were
called for by the auctioneer, and
these were promptly forthcoming, Mr.
Dunlop and Mr. Kirkpatrjck being
among the bidders. Mr. Rennie was
in at about 5000, and therefore
ceased.
A Stranrer In tho Gallery
a clean shaven man wearing a light
cap, and whose identity was unknown
to almost all present now made his
presence felt, and at length the sale
resolved itself into a duel between Mr
Kilpatrlck and him. 6000 was soon
reached and 7000, and at each of
thse stages Mr. Kilpatrlck was the
bidder. At 8000. the expectant
crowd, following the

broke Into loud cheering, causing the
"Earon" to show his displeasure in a
manner which was not appreciated
by those In his neighborhood. At
8800 Mr. Kilpatrlck was still hang
ing on, and many thought the youth
ful stranger was crying off when his
next bid was 50, but they prophe
sied too soon.
S900 was the next call by the
joint-owner, and the stranger came
again. Mr. Kilpatrlck and .
Promptly Levelled the Amount
and another outburst greeted the call
ing of the 9000. "Hundreds" were
apain the order of the day. and im
mediately the first bid was made,
someone relieved the tension by
shouting "Hauf-croon bids noo." At
9300 the stranger in the gallery was
still in the running, and the end came
shortly afterwards at 9500, Mr. Kil
patrlck being the runner-up.
All eyes now turned to the stranger
who seemed the least excited of the
vast throng. Immediately afterwards
Mr. Craig announced that the animal
had been bought on behalf of Mr.
William Dunlop, Dunure Mans. There
was a w'ld scene of excitement, hats
and sticks being waved by many agri
culturists. So ended a most remarkable sale.
As to the value of the horse, opinions
auier. Many good judges say the am
ount is far beyond his value: others
again argue that the "Baron" has
many years of usefulness in front of
him. One thing Is certain, the ani
mal has gained for himself imperish
able fame, for he has eclipsed the pre
vious record of 3500 paid for a
Clydesdale, by f6000.
The horse was purchased in 1903
as a three-year-old for 750. A dis
pute arose two years ago, Mr. Dun
lop. Dunure Mains, Ayr, asserting he
had bought up the interest of Mr
Kilpatrlck. Craigie Mains. Kilmar
nock. This was disputed by Mr. Kil
patrlck, and the case went through
me court of Session, and ultimately
reached the House of lords, which
decided that the animal was their
joini property.

POLICE CHIEF TELLS
WHY GIRLS LEAVE HOME
Desire for "Good Time" Fatal to Many
15-Year-Old Maidens.
Kansas City, Mo. The desire for a
cood time is the cause of girls leav
ing home more often than anything
else, according to Chief of Police Grif
fin, of this city, whose annual report
shows that 180 girls and women re
ported as missing to the police de
partment here in 1911 have not been
accounted for.
"Fifteen seems to be the most pop
ular age for the girls to run away,"
Chief Griffin said. ' "Four f fths are
between 14 and 19. Many of them
were employes of department stores.
"The large number of young girls
who run away do so because they are
not getting enough entertainment.
Girls like excitement.. In the depart
ment stores they meet people who
show them a little better time than
they get working in the store, and llv.
ing at home with mother. When the
man drops them in a stfange town
without money or friends, they sink
morally until finally they are asham
ed to return home."

the whole of this absorbing story the

When we come to think that Mr

the perfect way it is presented with

part that Ida St. Leon has played. At
that. It is not so very much grown
up; the little equestrienne is sup
posed to be eighteen years old and
that is Miss St. Leon's age to a
month. "Polly of the Circus," besides
being one of the largest productions
ever made by Mr. Thompson, is in
tricate and difficult to handle; . for
the circus scene of the last act it Is
necessary to so arrange a network of
ropes that the tent can be erected

One scene is that
of an actual ring performance with
fifty people and a dozen animals all

was sent to escort him tovMr. Mus
