It is gladdening to lovers of horseflesh to notice that every interest is j now taken in rearing well-bred and: thoroughly good stock in our district, i The latest illustration has been i afforded in the mating of Dr UosMng's: pore-bred Clydesdale-mare, one be recently purchased at a figwe which ran well into the seventies and which is said to he "the pick of tbe district," with Mr G. W. Belief's sterling horse "Director." The result of such a combination of blood and real grit cannot but be highly satisfactory, and will no. doubt prove an. encouraging example to other owners.

The Feilding Jockey Olnb has decided to bold a two days mealing, on tbe 30th of November and Ist December next. Stakes amounting lo £6OO will be given.
