CLYDESDALE HORSE!;-SALE. ■ ' DUNEDIN/Jui?<L3 and 4, : -.■ Messr, Wright, Steplienson' and Co. report as follows :' This popular.annual fixture .attracted, v taking it all round, the finest and■■; certainly the largest display of 'Clydesdale horses that we have had since these. sales were inaugurated by usf.l7 years ago. Never before m the history-of G.sago and; '.Southland 1:: .were 'there so : , many good' serviceable young fillies, and., geldings brought uncLer -the hammer on any one. occasion as at this sale. ... ■ . . ■"■■'' . y-i ' Our entry for the first; day totalled 213. For a pair of mares entered by Mr Robert Cuppies:'jun. j'of Otautau, rising oyrs old and 3yrs respectively, bids fell short of Mr Cupples's, expectations of 150 guieas each, and no sale resulted the following day. Fallowing Mr Cupples's pair m excellence came Mi- Win. Waddell's (Waikaka) / Royal Knight, iron grey filly, rising 4yrs, Molly, by Better Tmesv.g. rdam Bell, by Grant's Sir Colin., (imp.) passed m at 60 guineas,' but subsequently sold to Mr Peter Martjn.Sof: ; Otoigru. In the geldings class Mr Wm. "Sloymhan, of - Middlemarch, made top* price at £46 for a first-class old bay animal, rising 4yrs. The attendance of farmers and breeders left nothing to be desired. It was soon evident that buyers, although numerous, were not disposed to pay the prices of a year ago, and as vendors were not prepared to face the reduced values right away, several of the earlier lots on our catalogue were passed m; but differences were soon adjusted, and with few exceptions our friends accepted the position and sold, at prices showing a reduction of about £10 per Head on the values current a year ago. We were .quite unable to oifer more -than twothirds of our catalogue, so the sale of Clydesdales had to be resumed on Friday. The sales effected on the first day were on account of all the leading breeders m Southland and Otago, and the purchasers hailed from nearly every district m Caterbury, Otago, and Southland. Our sale was continued on Friday, when we again had a large entry of draught, spring-cart, and harness horses. The attendance of the public all through the day was excellent, and a large number of^; satisfactory sales were again effected. The majority of the draughts were not of such a high class as those entered for Thursday's sale.- We succeeded m selling the pair of high-class pedigree Clydesdale mares which were passed m at the previous day's sale on account of/Mr Robert Cuppies,,; jun, (Otautau). These were botli secured by a North Island studmaster, Mr A. Tocker (Wairarapa), at the- following prices:—viz.,; Lady Bancor, bay filly, 3yrs, sire Bacor (imp.), dam by Shepherd Lad,: at HOgns; Rose, bay mare, oyrs, .by Western Prince, dam by Cranbourne, at 70gna. 1 We also sold on account of Mr Wm. Waddell (Waikaka Valley), a .nice rising 3-year-old filly, for 55£gns ; a wellbred 4-year-old mare, by Herdsman, for 46gns, on account of Mr Thos. Ryj der (Invercargill)..: A large , number of good quality draught mares' and >' geldings sold at from £30 to £40, and spring-carters and spring-vanners realised from £15 to £25. Mr Robert Cuppies, jun., gained the prize of £5 5s for the highest average price obtained for six working draughts, and Mr Wm. Waddell „,.• cured the second prize of £3 3s m the same section. For'the fourth yeai*. m succession Mr Cuppies, jun,,. earned .off our special prize of £3 3s for the highest-priced pedigree mare or filly, and Mr Y^in. Moynihan (Middlemarch) won our. prjze of £2 2s for the highestpriced gelding with a rising four-year-old horse which realised £46. Taken as a whole, the sale; was by far. the most successful winter, horse fair it has evec b,e,en, our. pleasure to conduct.
