HAWKE’S BAY.

Napieb, October 4. The following foalings have occurred at Mangatarata Station during the past week : — Seraph (Albany—Helena), a colt, Julia (Ingomar—Sylvia), a colt, Hinenuitepo (Carlyon—Namoa), a filly, Maid Marion (Forester —Ata), a filly, all to The Possible.

The Possible has quite recovered from the mishap that laid him aside a few months back, and is now able to resume stud work, though he will only be used for a few of his owner’s mares.

Mahutonga still keeps on downing the opposition that are associated with him in his track work, and this without any apparent effort on his part. The owners of Asteroid who reside here did not participate in the good dividend she paid at Wanganui, they inclining to the chances of one of her stable pals for the affair.

Rechabite has been bleeding at the nose of late after his work, and consequently it does not look as if his owner had made a good spec, in securing him. Mr. C. O’Donoghue is having Maid Marion’s four-year-old son by Apremont hacked about. He is a good stamp of a gelding, possessed of plenty of freedom and quality. The latest additions to the hurdler ranks in these parts is Gold Dust, who shows a great deal of aptitude in his new departure.
