HAWKE’S BAY.

Two Well-known Sportsmen Who Have Succumbed to Epidemic—lndigo’s Full-brother Shows Promise on Hastings Tracks.

NAPIER, Monday.

Mr. F. Ormond has placed Hymarty with S. Waddell at Greenmeadows to be got ready for business. Hymarty is a younger full-sister to Hyllus, and was bred at Karamu by the late Hon. J. D. Ormond.

Mr. Rangi Kerehoma, who passed away at Featherston camp last week, from influenza, was a well-known figure in the world of sport in the Dominion, and his black and white quartered body, with black sleeves and gold cap, was carried prominently by a number of his representatives. About the best of the horses that he owned was Carlatour.

Mr. W. Richmond, of Hastings, is reported to have had a good win at Moonee Valley (Vic.) at the end of last month, for he had half a thou-

sand on Martino, who started at the nice price of 8 to 1 against and succeeded in landing the stake. If the information is correct, the Hawke’s Bay owner, who is a fearless bettor when the fancy takes him, assuredly had a royal period. The locally-owned horses, The Speaker, Orateur, Wapping and The Pagan, figure among the Ashhurst acceptances. Mr. G‘. H. Redwood, one of the stewards of the' Woodville Jockey Club, crossed the Great Divide last week. The deceased sport had journeyed to Gisborne to attend the funeral of his brother-in-law, who had succumbed to an attack of influenza, and Mr. Redwood was himself also stricken down with the complaint and failed to rally from its effects. He was a son of Mr. C. Redwood and a nephew of Archbishop Redwood, and for quite a number of years had been one of the controllers of the Woodville Jockey Club. An assiduous, capable worker, his loss will be keenly felt by the club.

Mr. T. H. Lowry, of Okawa, is mating several of his brood matrons this season with Egypt, the younger fullbrother to Desert Gold. The two-year-old full-brother to Indigo is making good in his efforts at Hastings under the tuition of R. Gooseman. He greatly resembles his consistent brother, and there is every indication that he will turn out just as good. He is owned and was bred by Mr. G. Hunter, of Porangahau.
