The imported lvoree Voung Ettrick 11. hails from Cannington district,' He is an active stamp of horse, possessing a good colour—black —and was so well thought of on Saturday that his owner had siduciemt inducement offered him to cause him to permit the horse to pass to the hands of. a new owner. The Kingsdown horse Young Champion is a worthy son of the old Champion. A roan in colour, he is a sire showing a lot of quality, as wight be expected from his breeding and is just the Sort to -tj-rst active draughts of not too heavy a type. Messrs Austin anil Grant's imported horse Flash Hunter was a goon deal admired. Hois.ndti a big sire, but shows plenty of spirit, and quality all over. Newton's iPrido is a veiy promising horse.
