Ho had put on a lot of condition, and looked so well that Mr Robinson intended having him placed in active work. ... The horse was all rU when seen just before dark, but in tfie morning was: found dead in the paddock, having expired without a struggle. Curiosity as to the horse's death impelled Mr. Komnson to have a post-mortem made when it was - found that Ovation was suftenng from the same complications that brought about the death of the brilliant holtano, the spleen being of an abnormal size. v Amongst the highest prices reached at the recent Auckland wool sales are the following clips, all of which were dipped in "Cooper" :-G. F. Linnell's (Kaiwaka), 20? d.; Jas. Kennedy's (Waihekei), 19}d.j I Carey Bros, (d 0.),, 19Jd.; .Helvetia Co. (Pukekohe), 20Jd.; J. and D. Gray (Waihekei), 20} d.; J. 1 M. Day (Waihekei), 18Jd.; G. Brunlund (Port Charles), ISJd.; Chris. Chamberlain (Ponui Island), 18$.; Jas. Bruce (Waihekei), 18Jd.. These are but (i few of many clips, which for the Auckland district, are most satisfactory prices, and Cooper-dipped clips have secured a large proportion of higher prices in other N.Z.. centres.—Advt.
