Irish, who sustained a rupture whilst racing at the A.R.C. Winter Meeting, and was confined t 0 his box for nearly six weeks, has made n good recovery and has .been turned out._ Mr J. B. Williamson, is determined to give him every chance before putting him in commission .again Tho Wellington owner and brooder who races 'under the irfom do plumo of "Mr Douglas Gordon" is importing' another English stallion to the Colony. Ho placed the commission in the hands of Mr F. W. Day, the wellklivown Englisk trainer, who has secured the soven-yearmold horse Kilr.heran. Ho was got by the Doncastev St. Leg* winner, Kilwarlin, (son of Anmtratjov and Hasty Girl, s,-om k,„_ ita, by Galopin (siro of St, Simon) ' from Burgundy, by Hermit, from Poll ! Tear Sheet (dam of Merry Hamp- i ton, a Ber,l,y winner). It 'will thus be seen that Kilchcrnn comes from a good running family, and is well bred.
