Trent, !>yra, by Trent<m—Oriana, landed a big win for his connection iiy beating a moderate lot In a hurdle race at Flumpton, EnglanJ. ' Since Gladsome ran third in Ihe

IJuuediu Cup some people have been found olfei'i the excuse thai; the chestnut daughter of Seaton Dulaval has enjoyed luck in the races which she has won. i should say that tho best answer to this is to lie* found in the action of Mr J. B. Reid sending his iilly to Australia in order, to try conclusions with the Australian cracks at weight for age. Spalpeen, who has heen kept exclusively at the jumping business since June is evidently not considered a back number for flat events, as he has been accorded the distinction of an entry for the Easier and Autumn Handicaps, set down for decision at the A.R.C.'s approaching autumn meeting. Only one of the late Sir J, lllundell Maple s mares changed hands among tlioso ottered at the l'aris sales. This was St, Ursula, by lteimit, and in foal to Martagon, who was sold to M. Camilla lilanc foe lOOgs. The others were said to b« a line lot, but the reserves were too high.
