It is of course a matter for regret to see such a promising colt leave Auckland, but tome solace can be found ita that' he has gone into the foremost stable in the colony. St. Laura is faVotifite in Auckland for the Wellington Gup, 4 to 1 being now the best price obtainable about the daughter of St. Leger.
