The death is announced of the , brood mare Evening Star, the dam of Commotion, who expired the other day at the Linwood Grange Stud, Victoria. Evening Star was foaled in 1870, and was by Lord Clifden (winner of the Leger) out of Maid of Derwent, by Flatcatcher. Her best progeny was undoubtedly Commotion, but she was also dam of Nightmare, who in her turn produced three good racers in Mentor (winner of the Melbourne Cuh), La Tosca, and Insomnia. In the year before she produced Commotion she foaled Albert (a full-brother to the ex-champion), who is now at the stud in Tasmania, and is a sire of a good racehorse in the shape of Harbinger. ■ 1
