Mr James Hawkins informs mo that lie intends sending his much discussed racehorse Lord Multifid to Sydney on Friday next. The colt will bo taken ever by Percy Coffey, and young Goldfinch will accompany the party to do tlie riding. Lord Multifid is a promising sort and should do well on the other side. Being a maiden performer the handicar/pers will have no excuse for treating him badly, ft goes without saying that Lord Multifid's career will be followed with interest by sporting' men tliroii'i'ioiit the Dominion, and if success attends his efforts Mr Hawkins will only be gaining the laurels which are uue to a straight goer and a good sport.
