ORME AND LA FL£CHE 357 



produce, a yearling filly by Morion named La 

 Veine, was on the same occasion sold for 3100 

 guineas. It will be remembered that in recent 

 years we saw the mare Flair, with the colt Gallon, 

 by Gallinule, at foot, sold at Newmarket to Mr. 

 F. C. Stern for 15,000 guineas. The following 

 day Gallon was resold to Sir Ernest Cassel for 

 3000 guineas. This transaction reduced the 

 price of Flair to 12,000 guineas, so that La 

 Fl^che still ranks as the brood mare who has 

 made most money under the hammer. The 

 most noteworthy of her produce have been 

 Baroness La Fl^che and John o' Gaunt. The 

 following are the prices made by her yearlings 

 sold by auction.
