Despite pessimistic prognostications the sale was vory successful. Tbe general standard of yearlings was tlio best yet offered, and Australian buyers were very active. They set a standard including the toppriced lot, and undoubtedly made the sale. Mr E. Moss, owner of Veilmond, was a keen bidder, especially for the Limonds, and he secured some highpriced lots, while it was he who competed against Mr. J. T. Jamieson for the top-priced Limond colt. Practically all choice lots were sold to Australia. The Limonds especially attracted keen competition, There was also_a good demand lor Chief Pulors, Night Pauls, and the best developed Hunting Songs. Paper Moneys from Bllerslie were a particularly good lot, but the demand was not so good. Phar Lap’s brother was oflered on behalf of Air F. Armstrong, of Christchurch, but failed to elicit a bid at 500 gs asked by Mr W. It. Kemball, who was again a free buyer. Ho paid 325 gs for the brother to Tea Trader, Pichborough, and Posy.
