On their return journey trom ihttnaUn Magdala and Blue Admiral ac-ompanied Ik Hogan's team to Invercargill, but it has cot yet been decided as. to who,her ill pad will join the active workers at Kori-ccs Drift Lodge. As a matter of lath. Magdala has been in rather a bad way since landing here, while Line -Admiral has n |j en under suspicion of soreness. It is more than bke!> that Magdala is sutlenng irnm the eilects of Ids severe trouble in the third Hack Steeplechase Handicap, when he attempted tn race at the stout post mid rails oostacle with the more seasoned Ihinmure. It has been pointed out that the jump referred to, which, wits responsible for bringing clown .some proved hor.-es last week, v. ould be made le.-s. iornudnble if a elite'll were dug in front of it to guide horses in Hiking off. It appears that the first eif the progeny of the well performed Pallas mare lie-done hus gone the way of all horseflesh. M-hen the filly and her dam reached their new home m Wanganui some tune back the Youngster was in somewhat poor condition, but cure and attention worked wonders. The youthful daughter of Kllbroney grew apace and rounded up into a. very nice filly, but, just as Mr IL L. Bcpg was beginning to congratulate himself that his patience was to be awarded, the juvenile contracted pleurisy, mid. complications setting in, her death had shortly afterwards to be chrou-

icled. It is intended to mate Hrsione with the imported English horse Hallowmas. Ihe latter is a beautifully-bred sire, by Martagon (son of Bend Ori from Halloween, by Ayrshire- Santa Maura, by St. Simon. It is intended in due course to send Highwatcr to Wanganui, when the Martian mare will be put to the stud as the consort of a highclass stallion. Reports from Hawke’s Bay state that Mr B. doll's three yearlings are shaping nicely under Sid Reid's care, and they will he taken to Ilawera as soon as their new quarter-' are completed. One ol the youngsters S ill Sea, an aptly-named colt by Ab-surd--Sea Spray, is spoken ol as a beauty. The others, who also show promise, arc bold Steel, by Martian Snov.stall, and Danger Zone, by Martian Crimson Hose. On the first day of August next the studmeslers of Southland will probably be called upon to fare an innovation put forward by tile '.Vinton .hr.-hey ( lub, vi/... the elo-ing of entries, for the Winton Stakes, events for the respective seasons of 1920.
