Little Bernie comes next with, nearly £100 less, ' while- the Martindale stallion. Albatross follows with over a thousand in ironey. The Hobartville sire, Simmer (imp.), has not quite reached the thousand mark, and is just ahead of Padlock; while Bill of Portland, Russley, and Delaware follow in order, and Holbrook has made a vea-y fair start.
