A MAMMOTH OFFER.
Some big offers have been made at one time or another for racehorses and studs, but all of them pale in importance by the side of the one that has just been refused by the Duchess of JNlontroso. It is reported by an English writer that) Baron Hii'Bch, who is most anxious to race on a princely scale in England, was anxious to give her Grace no less a sum than £250,000 for the Sefton Park stud paddocks and all hor horses in training. The Baron has not got any animals as yet, but John Porter has a commission to purchase some, and amount is not to be considered ; but tho best material must be obtained. When a stud is eot together, young George Porter is to have charge of it at Newmarket.
