First on the list is a collection of nine highly-bred Australian two-year-olds imported by Mr. G. T. Niccol, of Remuera, and that gives the approaching sale especial importance. The draft from the Waikanae Stud number four, Messrs. Patterson Brothers send up six from One-tree Hill, and a like '■ number are catalogued on account of Messrs. W. Dunn and Sons, owners of the Waihou Stud. Mr. Charlton Dawson's stud is represented by a trio, and a brace are to come from Glenora Park.
