An adieu of same imp rtance to racing men was recently tried in England before Judge Bedwell. The plaint ill' was .Ur Martin Monism, of Middlesbto’ c->lli -ry owner, and the defendant Mr \\ i ham Ewbai.k, > f Dab», Ala ton, farmer and ow ner uf iat-clicrscs. 1' e plaintiff claimed t. e su n uf L'l7 2s. 6d., the amount of forfeits and elei k’s fees paid by him in respect to the non-fulfihiient uf her engagements by the bay filly AgiiyaJra, w ii • i was purclia-*cd by defendant of plaintiff, with ail her ••ngagements.” His Honor, in giving his judgment and veidiet, recognised this as being a case of consid< rable importance tu the sporting world. To the Judge’s mini the words “with its t ngagements” di I mean something, and the words meant that t iere were certain engagements which the pjiiutiff was under a hauility to fulli , and H e defendant by his purchase put himself in t,e plaintiff ’s shoes to fulfil t ie liabilities for him when he purchased tie mare. Plaintiff was t; erefore legally entitled to pay t ie money to protect himself, and then tut-ue defend.-iitl for it. There would, therefore, be a verdict fur plaintiff, with liberty to appeal. Mr «T.

Nothing that gentleman could have done to contribute tu t e comfort and convenience of the visitors had been neglected. Yesterday I the early part of the day was spent pleasantly ' by a boating cruise up the Waimata Hirer. It is with great satisfact ion we m : k.’ lie above pleasing record. While hunest rivalry in manly sports bet ween Napier an I Gisborne shail, we hope, be of annual, if not more frequent recurrence, we hope it will be cariied out in the same spiiit as has been t he case in the present instance. The visit las been a p easant one indeed, though perhaps a Iditional zest would have been added if the stay had been prolonged. However, the Napi r men returned yesterday by the Kinga.-omna, cordial good feeling between the two Clubs j haring been firmly ?stubli6hcd.
