SALE OF YEARLINGS'

(By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, Last Night. There was a good attendance to-day at the annual sale of the Waikanae j yearlings, and a very representative gathering of sportsmen, being present) | from otluer centres. Mr Pyue, of Clhristchurch, conducted the sale, and it was speedily evident that most of those round the ring-side had been attracted by idle curiosity rather than .any genuine desire to buy. As a result the bids were very slow. Many of the lots disposed of went for much below their real yiame, arid undoubtedly in more than one instance bargains were secured. The highest priced one was a. filly by Charlemagne IT from Angel, by M ultiformtf'vppv Ym 1 ley, by Wallaoy, which fell to the bid of Mr . Goring Johnston, of Awahuri, for 270 guinea*.
