GLENORA PARK.

OLD HOMESTEAD SOLD. TO SOUTHERN HORSE-TRAINER. For the second time within a couple of years the Papakura property known as Glenora Park has changed hands, the purchaser this time being Mr. J. T. | Jamieson, the well-known horse-trainer j of Masterton, and recently stationed at Woodvillc. Glenora Park was for many years recognised as "Tbe Old HometVcad,'' of Papakura, and it was there the late Mr. ; W. Walters carried on the breeding of j thoroughbreds, the king of the stud being i the successful imported stallion Soult. j Some time ago tho property was pur- | chased by Mr. Eliot R. Davis and laid out as a private training track, and during the past two seasons horses carrying his colours and trained by Mr. F. Davis have been prepared there. The same trainer also had charge of several horses owned by the Hawke's Bay: sportsman, Mr. T. H. Lowry. and the best performers of the combined, teams were Highland, Queen March, and Nigger Minstrel. For some days it has been known that negotiations were being conducted for j the purchase of the property, and these were concluded when a deal was reached, and the property sold to Mr. Jamieson. I The latter was for some years private | trainer to Mr. A. Donald, but recently set up as a free lance, and at the just- ; concluded Sydney yearling sales, pur- j chased a number of youngsters on behalf of clients and himself. It is understood that Mr. Jamieson will take possession of Glenora Park in June next-, when, ] besides older members of his team, be will have about 14 rising two-year-olds to prepare. The disposal of the property by Mr. Davis does not mean that the well-known Auckland sportsman is retiring from taking an active part in racing, and his colours will still figure prominently on the racecourses.
