ELDERSLIE STUD
PRICES AT DISPERSAL SALE.
(By Telegraph—Press Association.) DUNEDIN, January 12. The dispersal sale of the Elderslie Stud took place today in fine weather and a fairly large attendance assembled at the ringside, including representatives of Australian buyers. Most of the mares with foals at foot sold well within their value, and the market was in favour of the purchaser. Top prices among the mares was made by Quietly, with a colt foal at foot by Solicitor-General. She was bought for 525 guineas by Mr C. Wheeler, South Australia.
The hammer fell at the same figure for Quadrilateral, who had a filly by Iliad at foot.
Solicitor-General and Iliad, though much admired when in the ring, failed to reach figures near the vendors - value. Solicitor-General opened at 1000 guineas, and rose by bids of 100 guineas to 1700 guineas, but was sent out of the ring. Iliad also went out unsold. Guarantee was purchased on behalf of a client in Western Australia for 310 guineas.
Yearlings sold cheaply, top price being made by a chestnut filly by Iliad— Folic Lore, which Wright, Stephenson and Co bought as agent for 225 guineas. Others made from 65 guineas to 90 guineas.
