ANOTHER PHALERON BAY
The etpek of the Phaiaris horse Phaleron Bay are giving their sire a good early advertisement, as the Avondale winner Phaleron is the third of his first crop to succeed. The others have been Cetewayo and Cherry Bay, who' won at Trentham last month. Phalerbii is" a brown colt out of the Chief Ruler—Dovelet mare Columba, a winner herself as a two-year-old and a full-sister to Eaglet, a brilliant performer whose successes included the Wanganui and Great Northern Guineas and the New Zealand Oaks, and also to Mother Superior, who won the A.R.C. Welcome and Great. Northern Foal Stakes. Dovelet, who was imported from Australia, was likewise a good performer before going to the stud. Phaleron therefore has a stout distaff ancestry to ■ combine with Phaleron Bay's fine lines, and so it was not surprising that Dr, A. McGregoc Grant bid 500 guineas at the last January sales to secure him, though his sire was untried. .
