SPORTING NOTES.

[PBOM THB " WBBKLY PRESS."] Mr G. G Stead has disposed of priv tely the whole of his magnificent stud of brood mares.numbering twenty in all.to the Auokland Stud Company. With these additions and those about to arrive from Amerioa, the Northern Breeding Company must, we think, have the largest and one of the most select breeding studs in the Southern Hemisphere. Major Walmsley, the manager, and we believe a large shareholder in the stud, will have hie hands pretty full before long. The Bussley mares, we understand, will be reserved for Musket and the other sires of the company. 'rue impoeted horse Apramont, aon of Mortemer—Auracaria has been purchased; from Mr Stead by the Middle Park Stud Company. Mr Goodman'a team of horses, Sir Modred, Somnus, Idalium, and Hilarious are to be sold by auction on tho 21st hut. Mr Carter's imported mare thrown a very nice b o foal to Oadogan. The Middle Park mare Bed Bose a b oto St. George, and Rupee an extremely blood like oh filly to King of Olubs. The Busaley maro Liura a oh f by Leolinus. " The 0.J.0. have commenoed building a new timber stand, about 40 feet, on the west end of the old one. The dimensions are to be 160 x 15, and underneath there will be three rooms suitable for refreshment stalls, &o. r lhoie who had the management of the lotalisator at the late Dunedin Hunt Club Meeting appear to have by their mismanagement got the olub in a very unpleasant fix over the Galloway Hurdle Bace. Ths following account given in the " Times " will best explain the matter: —" In one raoa in question the maohine showed £146 invested, and £3 was registered as upon the winner, whilst, after the ra?e, six persons produeed tiokots for the number, duly stamped. Each naturally claimed £43 odd, the dividend advertised on tho maohine, whioh, if paid, must mean a loss of £l3O to the olub. The mistake appears to have arisen through three tickets having been issued at the last moment (after the bell had rung), which the oustodian of the machine neglected to register." The club subsequently offered to divide the amount amoDg all the ticket-holders, but five out of the eix refused to accept this, and threaten law proceedings. We can understand the original three disliking such on arrangement, but what the other two find to objeot to it ia bard to Keane arrived laat week, bringing with him Lidy Emma, Legerdemain, Gorton, and Gitana, who have taken up their quarters at Ohokebore Lodge. Outta' stables are now foil.
