A GREAT SALE.
Durham Court, the famous N.S.W. stud farm, was sold the other day, “ lock, stock, and barrel.” and realised the big total of £117,000. Machine Gnn was bought by Mr. C. Baldwin for 1500 guineas, and will remain at Durham Court. The well-known stal-
lion Havoc realised 450 guineas, going to Mr. Borthwick, of Walcha. The Westralian sportsman, Mr. P. A. Connolly, gave 550 guineas for Molly Masham, by Curfew —Lady Dorset, with a colt at foot by Machine Gun. Mr. Bettington went to 510 guineas for Sweet Alice, by Gang Forward —Fairy Voice, with bay filly at foot by Machine Gun, so that it appears the stock of the big New Zealander are full of promise. The brood mares sold well all through, the Randwicktrainer Scully giving 400 guineas for a bay sister to Charles Stuart (Wallace —Sweet Alice). Prices throughout were exceptionally good, and altogether it was a wonderful sale.
