The sixteenth, annual auction sale of 'thoroughbred yearlings, bred by and tho property of Mr." Thomas Motrin, took place yesterday i afternoon at that ; gentleman. , ! ■famous breeding establishment, Wellington Park. The weather was perfect and a record gathering assembled round the ring side to witness the disposal of tho 30 youngsters figuring on 1 'the' 1 catalogue, the scene being a decidedly animated one. In addition to local racing men there were one * or two .visitors from Australia, and quito a host of wellknown; sportsmen from' other , parts ; of the colony, among the number being the .following : The Hon. ■; Hugh , Mosman (Queensland), Messrs. Balliere (Victoria), and Darlow (West Australia), ■' Sir George Clifford (Canterbury), Messrs. G. G. Stead and; Wilfred 1 Stead; Hugo Friedlander, 1 F. ' H. ' Pyne (Canterbury), P. Campbell, W. P. Cowlishaw, J. B. Reid (Canterbury), J. Cooke (Dunedin), D. O'Brien (Now Plymouth), Donald 'Eraser (Rangilakei), T. M., Wilford, M.H.R., P. Tancred (Wellington), T. H. Lowry, L. de Pelichot (Hawke's Bay), W, ; H. Hemes, M.H.R., Geo. Dunnet, N. A. Nathan, W. McLaughlin, Geo. Palmer, M. Mills, H. T. Gorrie, J. Tyree, J. O. Evett, A. Davis, 11. Duder, Jas. Ronlston, W. Sanday, W. Pereival, W. F. Massey, M.H.R., D. McKinnon, E. D. O'Rerke, J. S. Buckland, J. G. Ralph, J. Marshall, Alfred Kidd, W. Walters, D. Stewart, J. Russell, Wo. Lovott, 11. Wynym-d, H.H. Hayr, C. Chovamies. The , arrangements were a decided _ improvement on previous years, Mr. Morrin ■ having run up tiers of seats all round, and as these were sheltered by a; roofing of galvanised iron, ■ those present were provided with a comfortable seat away from the sun's rays. 'The sale was conducted by Mr. H. 0. Nolan, acting; for tho New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Company, and : throughout the auctioneer was on excellent terms with Ids audience. Promptly to time Mr. Nolan ascended the improvised rostrum, and after a reference to the great fame which Mr. Morrm's stud has achieved as a birthplace of the high-class thoroughbred stock, the / sale commenced. '■ Tho auctioneer then ordered the first lot to' be brought into the ring,- this being a shapely ;brown filly ,by; Castor- from Yattaghan; Some little time elapsed ■ before, a bid: came, but at length 25 guineas was : offered, and at 35 guineas she went to the veteran breeder, Mr. Donald Fraser. :'-:';■ A" oliestnut colt by St. Leger from Lady Harriet was the next paraded, but again the auctioneer had to wait for a bid. The colt was started at ?5 guineas, and went to 50 guineas, Mr.', J. Ohadwick being the buyer. A gray filly by Seaton Delaval from Yivandiere, was started at 50 guineas, and the bidding travelled spiritedly to 75 guineas, but I there it stopped, Mr. John Lynch securing I the lot cheaply at the price. : A ; bay colt by Castor from Lady Peer, failed to excite the audience, and at 30 guineas he went to Mr. A. Phillips. There was a like record in the competition for the brown colt by Lord Rossiyn from Lady v Gertrude, who was started at 30 guineas, and went dirt cheap to Mr. Wilfred Stead at 35 guineas. ; A shapely chestnut filly by Hotehkiss from Dunoon, however, enlivened matters. She was started at 35 guineas, and travelled up to 120 guineas, at which figure the Hon.. Mr. Mosman secured her. A brown colt by Seaton Delaval from Radiant,; next claimed attention; The bidding starting at 50 guineas, he went to . 100 guineas, . and though tho auctioneer endeavoured to rally, tho audience, there was no response, and Mr. G.G. Stead was then announced the purchaser. A chestnut colt by St. Leger from The Witch went to Mr. E. P. O'Rorke at 35 guineas. A blood-like brown filly by St. Leger from Cuiralba was then sent into the ring. She was started at 30 guineas, and went to 70 .guineas, Mr. J. Cotter, of Wairarapa, securing her. When the tenth lot, which proved to. be the brown colt by Hotehkiss from Rubina, was reached there was a great straining of necks to. obtain a glimpse of the youngster, as, being one of the " nobs" of the collection, it was quite recognised that there would be strongcompetition. Mr. Nolan had to wait tor a few moments before there was a bid of 150 guineas for tho colt, and after a rise of 10 guineas there was a, jump in one bound to 200 guineas, and then, in 10-guinea bids, it rapidly "travelled up. to 340 guineas, at which price Mr. Stead was announced as the j buyer. Rubina's youngster is adorned with a very determined-looking head, which is sot I off with a star.; All over ho is endowed with j power,. and it can be truthfully said that, take him how you will and place him as you may, he comes out decidedly, well under inspection. The son of Hotchkiss and Rubina, is cast on the lines of a weight-carrier and a stayer, and if ho doesn't acquit himself with credit when "the time arrives for him to I take on the serious part of the game, a large number of good judges will be greatly mistaken. The next lot led in was a. brown filly by Soult, from Jennie, Who is of shapely build. She went cheap at 50 guineas to Mr. D. Enwright. A ! brown oolt by St. Leger from Lady Cecelia was then paraded, and ho claimed a great deal of attention. A modest bid, of 30 guineas was forthcoming, and in five-guinea bids it rose to 70 guineas, at which he went cheaply to Mr. George Dunnet. A chestnut filly by : Mnskapoer from | Ladybird was started at 30 guineas, and by some persuasion on the \«irt of the auctioner, the bidding was carried to 60 guineas, Mr. W. Sands securing the - lot. ; A blood-like chestnut filly by Musketry from Sunningdale was noxt led in, but she failed to elicit strong competition, and at 45 guineas she went to I Mr. J. B. Williamson. • The succeeding lot 1 was a very sturdy chestnut colt by Hotchkiss : from Crescent, who was : . immediately :., started at 50 guineas, , and in : . five-guinea bids the competition travelled to 140 i guineas, Mr. . E. ; J. | Watt becoming the owner. A brown colt by Torpedo from Antelope was next introduced, and though only of moderate appearance, the doughty deeds of his half-brother Bluejacket, stood to him. The auctioneer had to wait but a short time before he had a bid of 100 guineas,, and in one bound it went to : 150 guineas, rapidly followed by 200 guineas. Ton-guinea bids then became the order, and they travelled rapidly , up to 430 guineas, when bidding ceased,, and Mr. . P. Chaafe was announced the purchaser amid applause. A beautiful bay filly by Hotchkiss from St. Evelyn followed. \ She was started at . 100 guineas, and in 20-guinea bids the price went up to 220 guineas, and then in 10-guinea bids to 260 guineas, Mr. J. T. Moore, of Wanganui, being the one to claim possession. A well-grown, powerful chestnut: colt ; by Castor from St. Mary, strange to: say, failed to impress the audience, and Mr. Wm.' Patterson was enabled to secure him at a. bid of 30 guineas. A brown colt by Hotchkiss from Lady Augusta cut a very aristocratio appearance when led in, and as there was immediately a bid of 100 guineas, for him it was realised that there would be strong competij tion for his possession. This was borne out, as the price ran up rapidly to 350 guineas, the lot being knocked down to Mr. George Cutts, who was acting for Mr. Hugo Friedlander. On lot 20 being reached—the brown colt by Hotchkiss from Janet— the audience, it could easily bo seen, were on the tip-toe of excitement, for he was a very noble-look-ing descendant of a great family. Mr. Nolan did the youngster full justice in expatiating on his race-horse like qualities and highbreeding, and immediately came ; a bid of 100; guineas, which was quickly capped by 150 guineas, and thee in 10-guinea bids the price went on to 520 guineas, when there was a slight pause, but the auctioneer, handling the bidding splendidly, rallied the contestants, and a fresh start was made. The bidding then went morrily on to 569 guineas, at which figure Mr. T. H. Lowry silenced the opnosition. Janet's youngster is a colt of grand proportions, standing over a deal of ground. He is just as good to'meet as to follow, and, with a capital set of legs- and feet to assist him, he should certainly be able to aoluovo something for the illustrious family to which he owes lii? descent. • A chestnut filly by Hotehkiss from Armilla was next introduced. She was started at 100 guineas, and in two bids of 50 guineas each went to 200 guineas, after which, in 10-guinea : bids, the price travelled to - 240 guineas, Mr. G. G. Stead being the buyer. A chestnut colt by St. Leger from Brown Alice was the succeeding lot. A bid of 200 guineas was quickly in; but though the auctioneer made a strong appeal to those round the ringside, there was no advance, and the colt was knocked down ' to Mr. Darlow, a resident of West Australia. ■ A well-grown bay colt, by Castor from Bangle, who claims full brolhcrship. to that .good performer Casket, had to stand in the ring some time before the auctioneer was able to obtain a bid, but starting at 60 guineas, l a "* spirited competition ensued, and at 150 guineas Mr. Donald McLeod seoured him for Mr. R. Patterson, of Wellington. A brown colt bv Hotchkiss from ;Lady Evelyn, of small, stature though of blood-like appearance, was then,paraded, and there was immediately a bid of '200 guineas for -him.: In 25-Kuinea bids the price ran up to 250 guineas, and? an advance of 10, guineas made by Mr.; ; Friedlander : : brought the; competition; to a close.. When lot 25. was : reached itho audi- ■ ence were again craning their necks, for. the 1 , youngster to bo ..introduced" was a brown filly by. Hotehkiss from Rose of *, Wellington. Claiming as tho filly does full ; sistership to True; Blue. Screw Gun and Royal Artillery,; it was quite anticipated that -there would be-

. ' ' •* ' ' ''> i* ' i' ;< f ' ' : strong competition for her iiossessior.. As the .first bid of 300 guineas struck the air the excitement was at once raised t» a> high pitch, which was still further accentuated; when in one bound the price went to 400 guineas. Twentjy-five-gumea bids brought;' the figure up to 475* guineas, and then. 485J guineas was announced, then ;t 500 /guineas, ? after which two 10-guinea bids brought} the price to 520 guineas, i which <■. settled the ;' poll-.: test in favour; of I Mr. g JFriedlauder.; In colour Rose of Wellington's daughter is » r dark brown, and in that respect takes after True Blue and Royal Artillery. A filly of commanding appearance, Rose of Wellington's daughter made a most favourable impression. ' Her head is of the Roman type, and that part of her anatomy is not such as to call up -great enthusiasm. But" plait though her headpiece is, it is of a determined, , stamp, ; and a pair of bold, , good-tempered eyes wins favour for her./;The;Rose of :Wellington filly stands over a deal of ■; ground,'; is 'equipped with plenty of power, is well ribbed tip, ; and 'altogether, she ; gives' promise of developing into a really fine mare. A chest- ; nut filly::bv~; St. Legei -; from Ganhet : was :started; at 75 guineas and rapidly / travelled up to 175 / guineas, at which figure Mr. Donald / Fraser / secured ' her. A bay' colt by ; St. :>■ Leger from Edith; Cureton came ; next into; the ; : ring,; but s though /of : aristocratic ap-, . pearance the- audience •' was / slow to , act. fAt length, however, Mr.\ Nolan secured a bid of 200 guineas and in one bound it went to 250 / guineas, but 1 there was only a rise of 10 / guineas; and ' at '• 260 guineas ,'/ the ■■■ celt passed into the' hands" of; Mr. Geo. Wright. A brown filly by Castor ; from Necklace came into the; ring very much below herself, ' and as she . was;" bad ■ on both / forelegs; there was no ; keenness ■ amongst the bidders. ;; She was started at 30 guineas ; and only reached 70 guineas, . Mr. Geo. "Wright ;,securing ; his second lot. / The audience were /, again ;on their mettle when the 29th lot was reached. This was a beautiful brown filly :i by Soult j fr'-m Forme, -who claims half-sistership to the flying Cruciform. Spiritedly came a.bid; of 300 • guineas, ' and ; then in two ; 50-guinea bids her; price was / raised to 400/ guineas./ Going/on in 25-guin«a; bids it reached 475 guineas, when there was a pause. "Don't lose her, Harry," said the auctioneer, ad-, dressing Mr. ; Harry Hayr, .who was;' standing just below the rostrum. The rally proved effective, and 500.guineas went on the slate, and .:. this was immediately | capped 'by 510 guineas, where it: stopped, and Mr. • Hugo Friedlander .secured the/ filly. /-; Forme's daughter iis adorned with a most intelligent head, % which 'is nicely ; set off with a star, and her. other markings are. two white/hind fetlocks. Her neck is of just the. proper longth, and is let into powerful, well-formed shoulders. J A grand ; . back, / with a'i nicelysprung middle-piece hitched .on /.to powerful quarters, give to the daughter of Soult and Forme a- most attractive appearance, ; and, with a capital ; set of legs and feet, it /can be said that she is one to ;bo gazedfor:;along / time-without wearying.;-.; The ; last? lot/ on. Mr. Morrin's ' catalogue was a bay colt by Castor from ; Sapphire, /who had: the ■'; distinction of / being bred to '•; English time. Of somewhat mean appearance the youngster * failed to /impress,; and ■:: he /' was knocked down to ' Mr. W. Patterson at 20 guineas. ; ;/;";■ '"/•'. ' •' ' In all, 30 lots were put forward on behalf of Mr. .Morrin, and; when- the figures were totalled up at the close it /was ,;.'; found that the total < v amount .• realised / was / 5275 'guineas, / Mr. -Hugo Friedlander .; being the , one to ; expend the largest , amount, his; purchases totalling 1640 guineas. ;/'; Leaving;, tho last lot/of the clay— bay colt by Castor from Sapphire, who was bred to English ! time, being foaled as late as February 22,1901— out of consideration, the average price paid for '• 29 i lots was slightly : . upwards 1 of f 181 guineas, a very satisfactory result. r The following . are the details of the sale: — ■'.';-■'.
