' The cum £1,675,995 was passed through the totalisators at the different race meetings held in the colony during the season just closed. Merryboy (9-4) is omitted from the Open Flat Race in the Hunt Club acceptances on page seven. Trenton's clos3 relative, the four-year-old Lancaster, by Hotohkiss from Frailty, has been cold to Captain Claude Smith, of Nandillyan Heights, Molor.g, N.S.W., where he will do stud duty, the price paid being 500gs, or just half what he cost as a yearling in New Zealand. Lancaster wae a good but unlucky horse, for he invariably went wrong when most was expected of him. But he proved himself high-class when he won the Melbourne Stakes in November last, beating a swell field, including Severity and Paul Pry, running .a mile and a quarter in 2.7&, and on that race alone is entitled to a plaea in any stud.
