TO CORRESPONDENTS.
I.vQL'iitEit writes:- "Is the horse, Bluir Athol, at present travelling in Pukckoho West, and owned by .Mr. John MeXcish, the sire of the throo illiiea which took cach a first prize in their respective clas3esatthe Into Agricultural Show? The Allies roforred to belonged to Mr. Gavin Wallace of Mangere, and Mr. Dougall of Maungatawhiri Valley."—Wc cannot answer your question so eatisfactorily as we could demro, but have no reason to doubt the statement that Mr. McNeishhas made. The draught entire of a similar name owned by Messrs Maclean and Co., is spoiled Blair Atholo, and the t>ire of tho two Allies you refer to is spcHed in the official catalogue of the late show, as Blair Athol, without the final e which is nsed in the caae of Messrs Maclean and Co.'s Blair Athole, aA recordod in tho 2nd voL of the Clydesda2© Stud 13ook. It tB not likely that McNeish would make statements of the nature referred to un2e*f thoy were true, bocause the truth of them could be eo tftaiJy Uettd.
