BELICS OF CARBINE,

GIFT TO AUCKLAND MUSEUM.

The memory of Carbine, the famous racehorse, who was bred at Sylvia Park, and who died, in England in 1914, Will appropriately be kept green in Auckland by two interesting mementoes (saye tho "Herald"). Some time ago, Carbine's owner, the Duko of Portland, torwarucd the skill ua a gift to tho Auckland Racing Club. The committee of the dub, in view of the great intereet at-

taching-to Carbine and his groat feats in the racing world, decided that such portion of the gift as was auitablo for public exhibition should be presented to the Auckland . Museum. The skin was found to be unsuitable for full mounting in the ordinary manner, and it was decided to present the head and neck portion to the Museum. This haß been successfully mounted by Mr Griffin, the taxidermist at the Museum. The interesting relic will be placed on a suitable shield, and will shortly be on exhibition in tho Museum. An inscribed silver plate, containing a record of Carbine's pedigree, performances, and total winnings, will be attached. The remainder of the skin will be I converted by tho club into a chair cover. Carbine's skeleton was presented by the Duke of Portland to tha Melbourne Museum, # where it has been set up.
