The deceased • had few equals as a judge of horseflesh and, together with Mr Newton King, lie was connected with some of the best horses that ever looked through' a bridle in Taranaki. The late Mr Watson took a keen interest in athletics, and in his young days was a sprinter above the average, and also won numerous hurdle races. -, . It is gathered from an English exchange that Mr Spencer Gollan, now over seventy years, is still going well and strong in “Merrie England,” r.s quite recently lie asserted himself by winning the Queen Victoria Jubilee Vase at St. Andrew Golf Links. "While racing on the turf ill England, Mr Gollan won the City and Suburban Handicap with Australian Star, and three years later bis representative, the Hawke’s Bay-bed gelding Moifaa, captured the Liverpool Grand National SteepLcdhtise.
