NATIONAL YEARLING SALES. THE JANUARY OFFERING. The catalogue for the National yearling sales to be held at Trentham on Thursday, January 21, is now available from the auctioneers.

Amongst those who have contributed numerically strong consignments are the Elderslie Stud Ltd., Oamaru; Mr. G. M. Currie, Koatanui; Mr. John Donald, Westmere; Mr. G. A. Kain, Gladstone'Park; Mr. T.

There is an unusually large number of highly related yearlings «in the smaller drafts to be offered. There are 32 sires represented, including all the leading sires in the Dominion.
