10,000 GUINEAS.
French Colt Bought by English Owner. LONDON, May 5. Lord Woola vington has bought the French three-year-old colt, Easton, by Dark Legend from Phaoni. He ran second to Colombo in the Two Thousand Guineas on Wednesday and he it engaged in the Derby. It is rumoured that the price paid was 10,000 guineas. It was a pecular mishap that made Tea Garden fall in Thursday’s hurdle race at Ilawera. The general cause of horses falling in jumping races is the hitting of the obstacle with the hind feet, the usual preliminary to a nosedive.
