The New Zealand-bred Ilium, by Albany out of Streneous’ half-sister Strenua, won the Ascot Handicap at Moonee Valley, Melbourne, on the 22nd ult., beating a field of io. She carried 7.10. Another New Zealander, Omaha. 8.10, was one of the contestants. Some of Musk Rose’s yearlings get bred by Mr John Field in Tasmania were offered at auction in Sydney the other day, the following prices being realised :—Colt by Musk Rose—Claudia, Mr E. McCarthy, 22gs; colt by Musk Rose—Queen Mab, Mr A. Collins, 17gs ; filly by Musk Rose— Whizgig, Mr E. McCarthy, 34gs. Musk Rose, who was bred by the N.Z. Stud Co., is by Musket (imp.) out of Rosette (imp.), and is consequently full brother to Escutcheon, the sire of the well performed two-year-old Westmere. Says Terlinga ”in the Australasian of March 25th .—“ Several fighting men left for America by the Mariposa, and on the same boat was B. Allen, the bookmaker, who was so much mixed up with the Islander case. Now that he and Levy have gone the task of finding the real owner of the grey, which the V.A.T.C. were asked to tackle, will certainly not be attempted. Every one outside the V.AT.C. is satisfied he knows the real Simon Pure, but the sworn declarations do not corroborate the universal opinion outside, and the disqualifications will stand as they are.” Mr C. M. Lloyd has leased from Mrs James White the colts by Chester out of Moonstone and by Abercom out of Copra (dam of Camoola).
