Sale of English fancy horses.

--Lord Henry Bentinck's magnificent stud has been sold at auction. Messrs. Tattersall put up to competition ninety-nine lots, comprising hunters, hacks, a few brood mares and some young stock. Lord Henry reserved the right of bidding up to 350 guineas for twenty lots, the remainder being proposed for sale without reserve. The seventy-five hunters realized 12,461 guineas, being an average of something like 166 guineas each. One horse called Comet fetched 400 guineas, and another called Light heart fetched 410 guineas. His Lordship's stables, erected at the cost of £5,000, were much admired by the visitors to the sale. His Lordship has hunted the Burton country (Lincolnshire) for twenty years, and has spent in horseflesh no less a sum than £139,000.
