SALE OF MIDDLE•PARK YEARLINGS.

The annual polo of yearlings bred by Mr. Blenkiron, at
Middle-park, lather°, near Blackheath, took place en
Saturday last. Oaractactu's success in the Derby drew
fresh attention to this stud as it will be remembered that
the Epsom victor was bred here, and bought by Mr. Ssin
at the isle of 1860, for 250 guineas. The celebrity ewt2
by Caractiscus, coupled with the running of Blue Mantle and
' others of the Kingston blood, drew an immense attendance
of intending bidders and spectator,, who watched
the proceedings with greet interest. Prior to the commence.
ment of the sale the company occupied themselves in
the tour of the establishment—perhaps the most perfect of
its kind io the kingdom—while the spirited proprietor bad
prepared a most bounteous chanapagne Inecheon for those
Deeding refreshment. Mr. Richard Tattersall ascended his
" pulpit" somewhat after the appointed time, a roped nog
having been pitched in front of Mr. Blenkirm's villa,
wherein the young ones were led for competition. De-
fenceless, the darn of Carectacus, was in a paddock near
the home, and as a matter of coarse excited much curiosity.
She is now in her nineteenth year, and stone blind, but
with a remarkably fine colt foil at her foot by
Marsyss. Mr. Tattersall, in opening the business of the
afternoon, made a few remark' upon the occasion, and
especially alluded to the plonk and enterprise of Mr.
Bknkiron, who, surrounded by all kinds of difficulties end
di appointments, had persevered until he bad seen public
opinion back up his choice of Kingston as a really first-class
slake. Mr. Tattersall said that Mr. Blenkiron having in
that particular instance proved the first estimate of the
public wrong, and his own judgment right, be (the auc-
tioneer) hoped that they would be ready to accept the
breeder's judgment as correct in the selection of other sires
for his stud. Mr. Tattersall showed that Mr. Bleokirou
had seen his opinion signally confirmed io Ca' notions, and
that he was sure all would agree in congratulating
the proprietor of Middle-park upon the happy result
of this year's Derby, which at the same time showed what •
lose the country had sustained in the untimely death of
Kingston last season. Mr. Blenkiron had been peculiarly
unfortunate, too, in the loss of Menke, Omoo. and Eller-
dale, but he was yet determined to render Middle-park the
most perfect of its kind in England and a credit to the
nation, as the centre and home for the rearing of thorough.
bredt. After these few preliminary observation, the year-
lings were brought to the hammer, sod certainly a finer lot
were never offered for sale by public auction. They had alto-
gether more size, substance, and quality than the 'Hampton-
court youngsters, while the " last of the Kingston@ " were,
