Higgins’s sale held in Trentham yesterday by Messrs Wright. Stephenson and Co. Ltd. was the price fetched by Beaulivre.

Globe Trotter was also sought and, starting at 400gns, went at 780. He also was purchased by a Wellington owner. The promising Royal Star 11, who went wrong in training, went for a hack price to the only bidder, but Globe Trotters yearling brother fetched 225 gns, also being purchased by Wellington owners, and he may remain with H. Telford. So also may Siglow, the two-year-old brother to Sigurd, who was knocked down to Mr E. C. Day. of Hamilton, who is interested in Bryce Street. The Heroic colt Cornaro was passed at 220gns. The stallion Safari brought 340gns. Jan Ridd was the only horse sold by Mr R. T. Reid, of Hamil-
