Royal Agricultural Show at Melbourne last week, Dirk Hammer- j hand .was awarded Ihe championship for thoroughbreds, and was subsequently sold to Mr-J.-A. Freeman, of Sou lib. Canterbury. The ■ price has not been eta'ted. Mtr J. 'Gubbins paid £600 for Morgamette, I the dam of Ard Patrick and Co., and the B&oney laid out has- resulted in her progeny bringing in considerably ©vex £100,000, besides the honour and glory of winning some of the I principal races decided on. the English turf. j liova Cardigan/ winner of the weigh t-for-age I race at Ttosehill last month, is a three-year-old by Positaaio^ — Miss Trenton, and is therefore a half-brother to Strata Florida, He is not in. 't-h-e Australian. Jockey Club's- Derby, but he is now first favourite for' the Metropolitan Handioap. ' . The committee of the Ashburton, County Racing Club has .appointed' Messrs T. E. Upton, W. B.

' Arrangements were made for the American cmioks, M'Chesncy and: Waterboy, to meet in a> mile and a quarter m-a-tch. on July 20 at Brighton Beach (N«w York), for £100 aside arid a £2000 purs© put tip by the club, but unluckily M'Chesn«y went lame -nb the- ]ia«t moment, -and the race fell through. Orloff ihas been scratched for all engagements- ut the Australian Jockey Club's meeting. It. appears that his leg filled some time

ago, and Mr Stead, upon seeing the extent of tho trouble, decided that it wouid be unwise to keep him in training any longer. Another important scratching is that of X. .U.S. from the Epsom Handicap. •J'liig-lish papers contain the information that iiic fivc-y ear-old iiiuraiiucd Now Zea-1 arid-bred . v- by Si Lreger horn, Hilda, who was Ivon Home in. 1900, wo a the Coventry Maiden /■.•iio, one mite and ia half, ab Worcester, .

Oriento is out of ai maro by a son of <~Jalopin. One. of my greatest misfortunes when I was aaining horses, remarked a, retired mentor .•he other day, was to meet in. with, owners who kr.'ew really little or nothing about horse management themselves, but were alwaya vcacly to listen to busy bodies and take ihe J advice of people who probably knew no more than themselves. I had, in fact, to train j .ho owners and liht'i-r ihcrses, and found it a i difficult matter to do both on the small fees j ruling. Tho Wellington Racing Club, gave £1840 in | stakes less than in ihe previous year, owing to its summer* meeting being reduced from three days to two The toialisator receipts fell off by £750, and the fees increased by £195. The result of the year's operations shows a credit balance of £900. A suggestion is made that, following the example of the Victoria Eacing Club at Fiemington, ihe course should be liberally top-dressed with eand, as it is too hard in summer and too wot in winter. The first descendants of Aurum went -up to auction in. England on July 20 at tire Cobhaon Stud Company's sale, bxifc the result was far from satisfactory. For some reason (says an English .writer) Auruira is not favoured generally, simply because ho 'has nob «n English racecourse record. His accident soon after his arrival debarred, ihim from this, but /his Australian performances are seoond only to tho mighty Carbine. Aurum. will yet astonish t'Jios-o who are «t present so faint in praise.

Both Lady Madge amd BosroDel were turned out in a r>addock close to iho SandiiiMs, at the back of Taihuna Park, and the .sand which 13ie animals picked up whilst grazing was possibly responsible for their death. / One of ihe moat remarkable sales of blood stock took place after the late <Mr Brophy's death, when 3ii« horses were sold in tihe sale paddocks at Ball's Bridge during the Dublin Horse Show week in 'August, 1892.
