The seventh national sale of New Zealand thoroughbred yearlings was held at Trentham yesterday. Despite pessimistic prognostications, the sale was very successful. The general standard of the yearlings was t-lve best yet offered, even the good lots not being outstanding. New Zealand has experienced an exceptionally good, dry season, and the consequence was that the youngsters showed extra good quality. Australian buyers were very active, there being a larger Commonwealth representation than at any previous sale.’ They set the standard, including the top-priced lot, and undoubtedly made the sale. Air E. Aloss, the owner of Veilmond, was a keen bidder, especiall yfor the Limonds, and he secured some highpriced lots, while it was he who competed against J. T. Jamieson for the top-priced Limond colt. Practically all the choice lots were sold to Australia. The Limonds especially attracted keen competition. There was also a good demand for Chief Eulers, NightRaids, and the best-developed Hunting Songs. The demand for Paper Aloney’s stock, considering his wonderful record both of the past and present, Avas not so good. The Paper Moneys from Elderslie Avere a particularly good lot. Phar Lap’s brother, offered on behalf of Mr F. Armstrong, Christchurch, Avas more forAvard than his elder brother, All Clear, but he did not elicit a bid at the SOOgns. asked. Offers to start the bidding at 200 and SOOgns. Avere refused, and the colt Avas passed in. Air W. R. Kemball Avas again a free buyer, and, incidentally, one of the most discriminating purchasers at the sale. He Avas prepared to go to a high figure for horses he really fancied, and he paid 325gns. for tlie brother to Tenterden, Richborough and Posy. In all, he purchased 11 lots, six of them Chief Rulers, two by Hunting Song, and one each by Night 'Raid, Paper Aloney and Tea Tray.
