Ju*y 17Kempenfeldt has changed hands, Mr G. Willan, of Redcliffe, having bought him from Mr Gollan for stud purposes. The price paid was, I hear, 65 guineas, and at this price he should be considered dirt cheap. Kempenfeldt, who is by Nordenfeldt from Bianca, will be at the service of owners at a moderate figure. On the publication of the weights for the Grand National Hurdles and Steeplechase, Morag was backed by his connections to win the double. I am not very x favourably disposed to his chance

in the Hurdle Race, but, bar accidents, he will make them all travel in the Steeplechase. The Hawke’s Bay Jockey Club hold their annual meeting shortly, when, I hear, a very satisfactory balance-sheet will be laid before the members.

Mr F. Collins has now got Brigand under his charge.
