AN AUSTRALIAN PURCHASE.
(Special to Herald.) CHRISTCHURCH, this day. Some surprise was expressed yesterday morning when Glenfinnan's name ,was found to be missuig from the acceptances for the first day of the Wellington Racing Club's winter meeting. It now transpires that he has been scratched for all his -Trentham engagements. The reason, for this is that Sir George Clifford has sold him to the Melbourne owner, Mr S. A. Rawdon, and he will be shipped to Australia immediately. Glenfinnan,, who is a four-year-old gelding by danranaJd — Lady Annie, has always been voted as a great track galloper, but he has frequently failed t o produce his best form m public, though he has a few decent stakes to his credit. This is the third Clanranald horse Mir S. -A. Rawdon has purchased from Sir George Clifford.
