HAWKE’S BAY.

(By Our Own Correspondent.) HASTINGS, Monday. Tripoli found a new owner on Thursday morning, when the son of Marshal Soult was purchased by Mr. J. Robson, the breeder of Pink’un, for 201 guineas. The gelding will still remain in H. Hickey’s establishment. Te Puia has broken down, and it is considered that her racing career is now at an end. Mr. Lowry informed me the other day that the name of the colt by Soult out of Monoquail is Soltano, not Solano, as has previously appeared. Several youngsters were given spins during the progress of the winter meeting at Hastings this week. The most attractive displays were those given by The Hague (Stepniak—

Peace) and Jason (Achilles —Stepina). The former filly is the property of Mr. T. H. Lowry, while Jason, a chestnut colt of the light tinted variety, with a deal of white about him, is owned by Mr. E. J. Watt. Notwithstanding that 135 horses started in the 14 events that were decided at Hastings this week, a sovereign invested on each horse in each race 'would have shown a profit of £lB ss. W. Griffith, who for a considerable period has been training Sandstream, has in conjunction with Mr. L. McKenzie purchased the son of San Fran. He is going along satisfactorily in his work, and it is anticipated that by the opening of next season he will be forward enough to again take a hand in the game. A sovereign invested upon each first favourite at the just finished gathering of the Hawke’s Bay Jockey Club would have resulted in a loss of nearly £3, and a ticket taken on each of the equines ridden by A. Julian would have shown a credit balance of £lO 19s.

Sublime now races in the interests of Mr. R. H. Parker.
