THE WELLINGTON PARK YEARLINGS.

The fourteenth annual sale of yearlings held at Wellington Park 'took place last Wednesday, when, contrary to general opinion, the prices realised proved higher than has been the case for many years, the total sum received being no less than 6652 guineas. This splendid result was largely due to the plucky bidding of the Southern sportsman. Mr G. G. Stead, who gave nearly 4000 guineas for seven lots. The strongest competition took place when the colt by Hotchkiss—Rose of Wellington was led into the ring. For the possession of this handsome youngster a most determined duel occurred between Messrs Stead and Dan O’Brien, and it was not till the big sum of 1400 guineas had been reached that the latter gentleman cried enough. Another which fell to the ned of Mr Stead was a handsome bay colt by St. Leger from that good mare Cissy, which should not prove dear at 725 guineas. Two hundred guineas less secured a brown eolt by Hotchkiss— Lady Evelyn for the same owner, who also apparently got a bargain in a near relative, a chestnut filly by Hotchkiss from St. Evelyn. Frailty’s eolt. by Hotchkiss, also joined the Yaldhurst string, and at 665 guineas he should not prove dear, for the old mare’s representative is one of the bestlooking that she has ever thrown. A pretty brown filly by St. Leger from Hilda went to the bid of Mr W. Nicholls for 410 guineas after a spirited competition. The several prices realised for the 29 lots submitted will be found hereunder, as well as a table giving the highest prices which have been realised in former years. Brown colt, by Hotchkiss from Eve, D. O’Brien, 45 guineas. Bay filly, by Castor from Lady Wellington, Wyveu Williams, 14 guineas. Chestnut colt, bv St. Leger from Valentinia, A.
