Poxbridge is one of'the'lines! individuals ilial has readied the Dominion, being a beautifully balanced horse ol .16 hand- high, line to the Sin in Law type, and showing much quality. As would i>e expected from Ins performances, lie has the powerful head and jowl of the slaver, line width between the eves, and altogether a -rand head. keen' ears, a Well scl on neck, and despite Ins long sojourn in the box on the boat. Instepped mi in Ihe wharf and walked ala rut with the air and I rile action ol 1 perfect thoroughbred. Poxoridge is '•.ertain to appeal to every liner of a aorse of true conformation and qualitylie stands on a great set of feet and legs, is short coupled and deep ribbed, lias great .strength of loin and shows exceptional power in his 'quarters for a staying colt. PERFORMANCES AND BREEDINC. Few imported horses could have better credentials in the way of performances and breeding to recommend him. His Half-sister, Cresta Run, won £14,540 in stakes. including the One Thousand Guineas and Imperial Produce Stakes. Foxbridgo himselt won the Atlantic Gup af £2520. over 1 mile "and 2, furlongs> and followed this up by running third to Loaningdalc and the St. I.eger winner. Firdaussi, in the Eclipse Stakes ol ££l22 and beating both the Oaks winner, Chatelaine, and Canon Law, winner of St. James Palace Stakes at Ascot, anil who was considered to be Hyperion's strongest opponent for the .St. Leger. As a four-year-old, Foxnridgc. Bst 121 b., ran second in the Newbury Summer Cup, £ll7o, 1 mile % furlongs, to Belfry, to whom lie was conceding a stone in weight, in 2min. Msec. After being placed several times in..distance races, Foxbridge, who is Duly now live years old to English time, was purchased.by Mr. Otway to conn to New Zealand.

Foxbridge is directly descended from me of tiie most successful sire lines in the Stud Book to-day. His own sire. Foslaw, is doing extremely .well at the stud and has been a success from the first appearance of his progeny on the. English Turf. In 193'-!.. lie had Foxhunter to represent him as the winner :)f the Doncastc-r Cup and Tudor Stakes and the following year this high class horse accounted lor" the Ascot Gold Cu\. and Queen's I'rize. This past season, another of his sons, Foxc-raH, accounted for tho_ Coronation Stakes and Irish Oaks; Tiberius ran second in the Si. Leger and won four good races; and Bagman won the Woodcote Stakes. h\>xlifw himself won live races of a value of £13,536. including the Ascot Cold Cup ind the .Jockey Lino's Stakes. lie has already sired 'the winners of 57 races of a value of £33,573, and (undoubtedly is the most successful of the many "sum ..f Son-iu-Law at the stud.

Son-in-Law was tin' loading stallion in hngland in 1921 and again 'in 1930 and his fee to-day is still 3Cogns. Foxlaw, his outstanding son, 'is also represented in England at the stud bv Koxhuntei who is standing at a fee of'.C?G. Messrs Wright Stephenson and Company, Limited, in addition to Foxbridge, have landed in Xew Zealand for ' breeders Bulandshar, by Blandford, and Myosotis, by Phalaris, and' shortly will arrive in the Dominion.

ELLOUGHTON DESTROYED'

Nurse, and ran a slake into her chest. The consequences b< came se) ions later in the day. and il Wiis decided to destroy her.

She was put into I ruining only last, year, and won tier lirst race at Dnnedin last Chris;. mas. Shortly after this trip she developed flighty habit-, and was a difficult proposition to take on the tracks and.' in order to give hr-i every opportunity to come right again, she was not raced during the p.asi lom 1 iths, Iter behavioi became much improved with tiratirient, and it i unfl.ll tun.i;.- ior her owner Ineeder. \ir. 1; Hall, that he .mould lose lit-!

A NEW IDEA

DIVIDKXI) INDICATOR Pa Irons of the Wairarapa race meet ing will have an nppnrl unity of seeing a new tolalisator on somewhat novel lines, which is being operated by the club I'or the lirst time. Fill il" recent ly. clubs have been satisfied to display till total investments on each horse, and the total invi'stmeill on the race as the betting progressed, leaving what many patrons hod a difficult task-that is. the working oil! of what each horse is paying, and the various changes in the dividends as llie investments on (be tolalisator progressed. The idea of the new machine is to save patrons having to work out or argue as to what each horse, if it. wins. will pay. As the investments 011 each horse are recorded on the machine, the winning dividend, based on the figures on the machine face, will be simultaneously shown on a dial or clock face operating immediately below cacti horse's number. The claim of the producer of this dual machine is its simplicity. The dividends can be displayed down to sixpences if necessary and the reading of the amount, is sufficiently simple .to leave little or nothing to the imagination of patrons. A simple division by three is all that is necessary should investors desire to know the dividend for second place. The system should appeal to sportsmen as a distinct advance in tolalisator methods and tend to add to the popularity of what has for years been niif of the most popular fixtures in the Wellington racing calendar
