BREADALBANE AND BIIOMIELAW.—MaIton was all
excitement yesterday at the announcement that
these Derby favourites were really sold. Hitherto various
announcements have appeared, to which only the term
"rumour" could be applied, but the sale is now completed,
the sum being £ll,OOO and various contingencies for the
two horses, the buyer being Mr. Chaplin, of Lincoln. On
its being known that the horses were to remain in training
at Langholm Wold, under Mr. I'Ansou's charge, the plea-
sure expressed by the Maltonians was as intense as if the
Derby was already won. Mr. I'Anson is a lucky man to I
have a succession of "sensation" horses. He not only refused
£15,000 for Blair Athol, but also £30,000 for the Blink
Bonny family. Blair Athol was recently sold for the stud
at £7,500 ; therefore it will be seen that Mr. I'Anson has
in two months sold three horses for the extraordinary sum
of £18,500. He has still in his possession the following
mares of this famous blood :—Queen Mary, Bab-at-the-
Bowster (sister to Balrownie), Caller Ou, Bonny Breast
Knot, Bonny Bell, and Borealis, besides younger stock.
This blood (the Queen Mary dynasty) has never been
known to have either curb, spavin, or ringbone, or
to breed a roarer. Queen Mary, by Gladiator, was the
foundress of this remarkable dynasty. She is now
in foal to Stockwell, has a yearling colt by Rataplan, and
a two-year-old (Bertee) by Newminster. She bred HariCot
(dam of Caller Ou, winner of the St. Leger), Braxey;
Balrownie (fourth for the Leger), Blooming Heather
(Gorse and Maid Marian's dam), Bonnie Scotland (who
ran dead heat with Artillery for second place in Leger),
Blink Bonny (winner of the Derby and Oaks, and dam of
Blair Athol, winner of the Derby.and Leger), Balnamoon,
Bab-at-the-Bowster, Bonny Breast Knot, Bonny Bell, eze.;
therefore Mr. I'Anson is yet well in for future "realisa-
tions." Breadalbane is brother to Blair Athol, but of a
larger frame, and, in consequence of Blink Bonny's death,
was suckled by a cart mare. Bromielaw is half brother,
being by Stockwell, out of Queen Mary. The public hang
to the former most, as being nearer akin to Blair Athol, but
Mr. I'Anson does not himself know which of these kinsmen
is the better horse. Both were wisely kept in last year, and
the delicate growing youngsters are now the admiration of
the sporting world. As untried horses their prices are
something marvellous.
DONCASTER SPRING MEETING.—Since this meeting has
been taken in hand by the corporation the added money
has been increased, in order to secure a good meeting. The
United Hunt Stakes, with 50 added; the Londesborough
Plate, with 100 added ; the Don Steeplecase, with 50 added;
and the Chesterfield Handicap, with 100 added, all close
and name on Feb. 7. It will be seen that the Hunt Stakes
is now thrown open to all England, which will be doubt-
less the means of procuring a larger entry.
The late Mr. W. Cooper's stud will be sold by Messrs
Tattersall, at Banbury, on Wednesday next, Feb. 1. Those
who knew Mr. Cooper, or who have seen him go over a
country, will easily understand the good sort of horse he
would have ; whilst amongst the many winners bred at
Farnborough-hill were The Mite, The Morse], The Miner,
Odiham, Black Bess, Hungerford, and Meanwood. There
is some of this blood still in the catalogue, and the day be-
ing an easy "out and in," the run down may be well worth
all the money.
CATTERICK BRIDGE RACES.—On Tuesday, Feb. 7, the
following stakes will close and name for these races :—The
Oran Stakes of 5 sovs each, 3 ft, with 50 added, for two-yr-
olds, T.Y.C. ; the Hornby Handicap of 7 sovs each, 5 ft,
and 2 if declared, &c., for three-yr-olds and upwards, with
50 added ; the Brough Handicap of 50 sovs, added to a
Sweepstakes of 7 sovs each, 5 ft, and 2 if declared, &c.
WINDSOR RACES.—A "legitimate" meeting is about to be
instituted at Windsor, on a very excellent piece of land,
about one mile from the town. A permanent stand will be
erected, and the first fixture will be the 17th and 18th of
August. Further particulars will be duly announced. The
business arrangements of the meeting have been entrusted
to a well-known and influential official.

SALE OF BREADALEANE AND BROOMIELAW.—Mr. I'Anson
informs us that he has sold Breadalbano and Broomielaw
to Mr. Chaplin for £ll,OOO, with its contingencies, but that
they remain in his stable. The sum is an unprecedented
one for two " dark" horses to fetch, and we hope, for the
sake of their plucky purchaser,'they will prove worth the
money.

The Fitzwilliam Hunt Steeple Chases are fixed to take
place at Walton, near Peterborough, on Thursday, Feb. 23,
and the following noblemen and gentlemen have consented
to act as stewards :—Earl of Westmoreland, Lord Proby,
Hon. C. W. Fitzwilliam, and W. Wells, R. Bell, and R. Bird,
Esqs. Four races are advertised, and £145 added money.
WARWICK SPRING MEETING.—The Trial Stakes, the
Willoughby Handicap, the Two Year Old Stakes of 25
sovs. each, the Great Warwickshire, the Two Year Old
Race of 5 sovs. and 50 added, the Hurdle Race, and the
Grand Annual Steeple Chase close and name on the first
Tuesday in February.
Blackheath and,Woolwich Flat Races and Steeple Chases,
in consequence of the extreme severity of the weather, have
been postponed to Tuesday and Wednesday, Feb. 7 and 8.
A meeting, combining flat and cross country racing, has
also been fixed at the above place for April 17.
TILE ROGUE.—The owner of this horse, dissatisfied with
the heavy impost (11st 121 b) put on him for the Harrow
Steeple Chase, struck him out of that, as well as his other
engagement at Harrow, soon after the weights appeared.
OXFORD RACES.—We are requested by the committee to
state that, in consequence of difficulties that have arisen as
to the use of the Port Meadow for a race course, they are
compelled to abandon this meeting.

rised to state by the owner of Walloon that this horse was
not struck out of the above stake, either by himself or any

bury, near Cheltenham : Arcus, aged ; Leicester, aged ;
colt by Leamington, 3 yrs ; Edith, 5 yrs ; and filly by Am-
sterdam out of 'Brown Bonnet, 2 yrs.
DURHAM RACES.—On Tuesday, February 7, the Durham
Hunt Plate of 50 sovs for half bred hunters that have been
regularly hunted with certain packs of foxhounds, &c.,
will close and name. Detailed particulars will appear next

Races will take place on Thursday, March 16, instead of

The brown colt by Mountain Deer out of Stork's dam
has recently been added to the list of geldings, and has

Highness the Prince of Wales will honour Lincoln Races
with his presence, and the Blankley Hall will be his resi-
dence for the time being.

gistered.
CALLER OlL—This celebrated mare has already paid for-
feit for the Chester Cup, and it is stated on good authority
that her brilliant turf career has terminated, and that she
will next season be put to the stud. Her retirement will
leave Queen's Plates more of an " open question" than
during the past three years of the mare's extraordinary
career. It may be mentioned that Caller Ou won no fewer
than 29 Queen's Plates from three to six years old, viz.—
One in 1861, 3in 1862, 15 in 1863, and 10 in 1864. Fisher-
man's scoring in Queen's Plates was 26, obtained as under:

years old, and one at six years old. Rataplan, the next
high scorer, won 21 of Her Majesty's Plates, as under :
Nine at four years old and twelve at five years old, so that
Mr. I'Anson has beaten both those celebrities.
