HENGEN-LENOX SALE ATTRACTS BUYERS
AND LOOKERS IN MASS
The Second Annual Sale of CARBON COPY Colts,
now named the Hengen-Lenox Sale, was second only
to the Celebration itself in attendance and attraction.
Held for the first time in the permanent new sales
pavilion of their farm on the Lewusburg Highway, the
sale attracted a crowd estimated to be well over two
thousand spectators and prospective buyers. The sale
was managed by Mrs. George L. Lenox, assisted by
Mrs. Ed Ezell with Auctioneer Eddie Bryant behind
the mike. The ground men were headed by Mr. John­
ny Jones and they all did an excellent job of keeping
the sale going.
The actual bidding was delayed somewhat while the
crowd moved in. They were treated to an exhibition
of DEMOCRAT COPY, the syndicate yearling colt
being trained by Jack Johnson. He was also ridden
several turns around the hall by Lee Lenox. They al­
so had an opportunity to see another syndicate colt
named COPY’S ROAN ALLEN, a truly outstanding
black roan by CARBON COPY and out of the great
mare, MY WILDFLOWER. We learned that twenty-
three shares of this fine weanling have already been
sold at two hundred dollars a share.
The sale lived up to all expectations and the aver­
age for the twenty-eight entries was $2,404.00, as
compared to $1,993.00 for last year. The top colt of
the sale was CAESAR, a black stud that brought
$5,500. He was consigned by Mr. Wink Groover and
was purchased by Sugarloaf Farms, Atlanta, Georgia.
