Wellington, Last Night. j There was a good attendance to-day | at the annual sale of the Waikanae s) yearlings. There was a very repr'esenta- ■• { tire gathering of sportsmen, many visie tors being present from other centres. Mr. Payne, of Christchurch, conducted the sale. It was speedily evident that most of those round the ringside had been attracted by a little curiosity, rather than any genuine desire to buy, t and as a result bids were very slow in s J coming'. Many of the lots disposed of a j went for much below their real value, i, |and undoubtedly in more than one ine stance bargains were secured. The highest priced one was a filly by Charlemagne 11., from Angele, by Multiform—Happy \ Valley, by Wallace, which fell to the bid of Mr. Goring Johnston, of Awahuri, for 270 guineas. In all, nineteen lots'realised 2500 gns., an average of a little more than 131% !- gns. each. Particulars of the sale are i- as follows: e Br colt by Achilles—Strathspey, Mr. e J. H.
