AVONDALE JOCKEY CLUB. The stewards of the Avondale Jockey Club met last night for the purpose of considering the alleged inconsistent running of the horses Mahinga and Grenadier at the club's recent meeting. After a full inquiry the stewards expressed themselves as fully satisfied with the explanations afforded by the owner and jockey of the horse Mahinga. With regard to the other horse, it was resolved that the stewards are of opinion that " the evidence is not sufficient to justify them in disqualifying the horse Grenadier and those connected with him in connection with his running in the Plumpton Handicap, run on September 22, but at the same time they wish to express dissatisfaction with such running." BLOOD STOCK SALE. At a sale of blood stock at Sydney yesterday an Ease filly and a Blackpool gelding were sold on account cf the Hon. J. D. Ormond, of Napier, for 210 and 100 guineas respectively, and two brood mares —Miss Never and Maro—belonging to the I same owner realised 52$ and 25 guineas respectively. GOLF.
