THOROUGHBREDS UNDER THE HAMMER.

A sale of thoroughbreds belonging to P. Lorillard took place yesterday at the American Horse Exchange. There were twenty-four lots, including seven brood mares, five two-year-olds and eleven yearlings. A number of well-known turfmen was present, but the lots were mainly bought by Western and Southern buyers. Sir John Lister Kaye, of England, bought several lots. The total amount realized was $8,550.

The first lot, the bay mare, Ethel, by Saxon, Second Hand, brought $280; the bay mare Marguerite, by imported Eclipse-Merry Wife, sold for $275; the bay mare Merry Lass, by John Morgan-Vesperlight, $160; bay mare, Nell Gwynne, by Leamington-Lady Duke, $100; the bay mare Niva, by Saxon-Highland Lassie, $325; the imported bay mare Girasol, by Asteroid-Gillyflower, $305.
