A large entry has been received for the two-year-old parade—the first of the season—which will be staged after the first event at the Otago Hunt Club’s meeting at Wingatui on Saturday. Some well-bred youngsters are included, and the parade should provide a good guide for the McLean Stakes, the first juvenile classic in the South Island, which will be decided at the Dunedin Jockey Club’s spring meeting next month, H.

Milling Bay is a gelding by Milling from the Phaleron Bay mare, Lady Amelia, which left two winners before being imported to New Zealand. Milling Bay was purchased at the yearling sales at Trentham for 100 guineas. Appealing, by Defaulter from M?irch of Time,' ranks as a half-sister to Bob’s March which won the Otago Hunt Trial Stakes and finished a close second in the John Grigg Stakes. Appealing cost 125 guineas as a yearling. Pat’s Flame, a filly by the Salmagundi horse, Blue Flame, from Little Irish, is owned by Mr R. Walker, of Dunedin.

The other fillv by Neptune or Whistling Wind from Indian Coronet, was checked in her early preparation, and is probably not as far forward as her She is a grand-daughter of Indian Princess, which won the A.R.C. Great Northern Derby, and the Avondale Jockey Club’s Hopeful Stakes. D. P. Wilson’s Youngsters Two juveniles, owned by Mr D. P. Wilson, will race, from E. E. Hunt's stable.

It is unlikely that the five-year-old Sir Galloway mare, White Robe, will race again, and she will probably be retired to the stud. Owned and trained at Wingatui by H. A. Anderton, White Robe won 10 races, and secured 15 minor placings for £2536 10s in stakes in three seasons.

She is a sister to the winners, Royal Vestments and Lady Melrose, being from the Pink Coat mare, Pink Robe. Pink Robe won 15 races, including the D.J.C. Clarendon Handicap, the Geraldine Cup, the Southland Hurdles, and the D.J.C. June Hurdles. White Robe should prove a valuable brood mare.
