A remains of the turf and stud was unfolded a few weeks- -back, when the horses In the rate a of the late Mr. Peter Murphy were sold in Ireland. Vlr. Murphy founded his stud with a mare named Stella, for which he gave 42 guineas, and the sales and the winning of that mare's d seendance returned him £25,000. And at His sale, after his death, 21 dei2endl::U of Stella were sold, and some high price, were contained.

It was the New Zealand trainer, Murray deb"-, 1 who purchased, Biplane for Mr. T. A. Stirton -of Sydney. A veterinary surgeon who inspected Biplane for Hobbs passed him as sound. 1! old received instructions to place the house in work as nothing definite could be ascertained as to when space said be found for him on a boat, and the owner did not with to lose many weeks' preparetion. ,« The

Lake Albert 'races will be run at Mentone on' January 16. .. Acceptances appeared in "The Advertiser" on January 9. A special steamer will leave Milang in the morning. The secretary reports that the roads from Adelaide are in good

order.

After Mr. T. if, Daskein, of Morden station, in the Barrier Ranges district, had bought Probation through Messrs. H. Chisholm & Co., of Sydney, Dr. W. E. Bidwell, of Rototawal, who sold the mare, -note to him, telling' him that he had secured a good one for racing, to say nothing; of her breeding for stud work. Probation had never been lame, nor- had there ever been anything the matter with her. She should have won some of the chief races in New Zealand, as no horse on the Wellington tracks could get near her, and she defeated a "New Zealand Cup winner art seven- furlongs in his final gallop! She has been an unlucky mare, and he advised Mr. Dattkoin, if he happened to be a betting man, to be careful about her trials, in she seemed to go better in a trial than in a nee. Mr. Bidwell thinks that his trainer was too lenient with -'the mare and allowed her to get too fat inside, as. the last race she ran at Wellington she was going easily in front, but just failed at the finish. Mr. Bidwell thought Probation went i better under welter weights, simply because no I small boy could manage her. VV whilst he thought the mare could get any distance if fit, he regarded

seven furlongs as her best course. He wound up his letter by stating that Probation is a good constitutional mare, and honest when well off for condition.

A. Melbourne writer states that a Mentone trainer is credited with having won £6.500 within the past two weeks. That sum would have been augmented laid 'hedge -run first in place of third in the Standish Handicap. "

At Newmarket, England, just before the Carlfield Cup, a backer went up to Harry Clare and asked him if he betted starting price- on his races in Australia. " anywhere" was the reply, "and against twins if you like." The backer dis-claimed any (desire to' invest on the latter con-tingency held, by the way, used to be a favorite wager to lay at Lloyd's, and (says the "London "Sportsman") still has some vogue. 'A hat the backer did want was a fiver" on King Offa for the Caulfield Cup, and he was promptly accommodated by the obliging layer. The result of the Caulfield Cup' was cabled -to England.

At the Newmarket sales Jack Point, a brown colt, 3 years, half-brother by Swynford to Magpie, was sold to the trainer. II. Leader, at 3,000 guineas. Probably the latter was acting for young Lord 'rt'IKon. One writer thought full value was obtained for the colt, who was a stable companion of The Panther.

Sir A. Back sent The Panther into the ring.

He was counted the best two-year-old in England I last season, and cost that gentleman 3,000 guineas as a yearling. The ringside was packed when The Panther went in, and Mr. Somerville Tattersall, before announcing the reserve, dwelt upon the value of the colt's pedigree, and remarked that while good horses are usually sold at or towards the end of their racing careers, here was one on offer almost at the beginning of his. Mr. Tattersall went on to lay-off the reserve which I am about to announce is not offered, the colt will at once leave the ring, and nobody will be able to buy him afterwards for the amount." Having, in a vein of humor few who do not know him well suspect him to possess, thus kept the company in suspense, the auctioneer solemnly said, "The rescue Is 40,000 guineas." The laughter which greeted this statement can well be imagined. Of course there was no bid, but Mr. Tattersall had not quite finished, for he drily remarked court the laugh might be the other way in a year or two.
