THE YALDHURST STUD.
Quite a large company proceeded to Yaldhuiab yesterday afternoon for the sale of Mr G. G. Stead's racing atock. Kvery facility for the inspection of the horses was given before they were led into the ring, and for an hour or bo prior to the first lob beint; submitted the mares and young stock iv the paddocks, and the housed animals in their boxes and alalia were critically bcauned. Anioug those at the ringside when the sale proceeded were Sir George Clifford, Hon. J. D. Ormond, Messrs H. A. Knight, C. E. Todhuater, J. F. Reid, Oauiaru, J. A. Cook, Dunedin, J£. Gates, S.

Pyue, who conducted the proceedings, iv his openiDg temarke, referred to the uuiquo collection of choice stock that be was privileged to offer. It was very soon evident, however, that very few of those present were ia attendance with the view to making p^;chases. Beyond that the Hawke'a Bay Mr Ocmond, was enabled lo secure at trifling cost a few valuable additions to his breeding stud, and a few lots were quitted at cheap rates, the sale was a failure.
