Not for Sale Another offer for the purchase of Beaulivre was made yesterday by Mr M. Miller, of Brisbane, who is visiting Auckland. He asked the owner, Mr E. C. Harnett, to put a pride on the colt, but Mr Harnett later told an interviewer there was <lO probability of his selling Beaulivre. He had received several big offers, but was going to keep him. At Waikouaiti Although his name appears as an acceptor at Waikouaiti, Not Out will not be at the'meeting, as he was returned home after the Dunedin meeting. He is a likely visitor to the Wellington meeting. Other unlikely starters on- Monday include Knight Commander and Lockit. The only bracket at the fixture will be Norseman and High Glee in the Waikouaiti Cup.
