—“Rototawai” Yearlings Shipped to Sydney—J. T. Jamieson’s Formidable Trio for Gisborne R.C. ingWELLINGTON, Monday. Mr. W. E. Bidwill, the well-known “Rototawai” (Wairarapa) sportsman, recently shipped to Sydney three fashionably-bred yearlings, who are to be auctioned there this month by Messrs. H. Chisholm and Co., the wellknown bloodstock salesmen of New South Wales. The trio comprised Inclination, a brown filly by Provocation —Declination; Registration, brown colt by Demosthenes —Culmination; and Hesitation, brown filly by Provocation —Black Scotia. All three are splendid specimens of the thoroughbred, and are sure to attract keen competition when they make their appearance in the sale ring. J. T. Jamieson, the Opaki trainer, is taking Montana, Splendidus and Multicipal through for the Gisborne meeting on the 14th and 16th inst. All three horses- are cherry ripe, and are sure to give a good account cf themselves in Poverty Bay. R. J. Mason passed through Wellington recently for Sydney with Kilowhey. Biplane, Bimeter and Immortelle. In a conversation, the genial “Dick” expressed the opinion that the quartette would give a good account of themselves in their exploits across the Tasman Sea.

In Lady Mascot (Zimmerman — Countess Cole) the Levin stable of F. J. Carmont shelters a very promising candidate indeed. The four-year-old mare is a good sort, and gives every indication of developing into something above the ordinary. Trainer J. H. Hcwe, at Marton Junction, has a typical galloper in preparation for future events in Klyshena, a gelding by Vladimir from a Merrie England mare. The galloper named gives every promise of turning out useful.

Multrose, the three-year-old filly by Multifid —Rosekiller, belonging to Mr. A. G*. Pilmer, a well-known Masterton enthusiast, is furnishing into an ideal sort of a galloper under H. Pritchard’s guidance at Otaki. She should be heard of in early spring events. With the prospect of the Wellington Racing Club holding their winter meeting next month, quite a number of horses are being kept pottering about at Trentham. With the present uncertainty, there is not much encouragement for owners to keep their horses in tiaining. Matters may improve soon, in which event everything will go on as before. Sardinia is being kept busy at Featherston by trainer W. Galbraith, who has Mr. J. Fenwick’s typical galloper looking very well. The son of Provocation — Sunfish gives every promise of carrying his popular owner’s colours with considerable success next season. Sardinia has proved a very payable proposition during the present racing year.
