Both lots of yearlings, too, were reported, and with some
truth, to be above the average in quality, and these induce-
ments, coupled with the brilliant weather, tended to draw
a more than usual select assemblage to the spot. It is not
often now that Lord Derby is seen in haunts which for-
merly knew him so well, but to-day the sale of his old
friend's stud lured him to Hampton, and he leaned over
the rails not the least interested spectator of the scene.
Most of our leading turfites were occupants of the various
drags gathered round the inclosure, including the Duke of
Newcastle and the Duke of St. Albans, the Marquises of
Ailesbury and Hastings, the Earls of Chesterfield, Stam-
ford, Portsmouth, and Poulett, Lord Falmouth, Lord
George Manners, Admiral Rolls, Mr. G. Payne, Mr. C.
Alexander, Mr. H. Chaplin, General Peel, Mr. Ten
Broeck, &c.

We are so much accustomed to high prices now-a-days
that we ought not to be astonished at an array of figures
which would have caused the eyes of a past generation to
stare. It is not too much to say that thousands are now
given where our grandfathers bid hundreds, and the sum
total in Messrs. Tattersall's book on Saturday afternoon
might be pointed to, if money be the criterion, as an un-
questionable proof of the flourishing condition of the Turf,
There were 71 lots in all, and they realised 26,078 guineas,
an average of upwards of 367 each. This must be considered
very good. The sums one or two of the brood mares rea-
lised were almost unprecedented; 1,500 guineas for Con-
tadina, the dam of King Hal, and for whose possession
there was sharp fighting between the Marquis of Hastings
and Mr. Jackson; 1,300 for Cantine ; and 1,000 for Doralice
have not often been surpassed. Some of the old mares
were of course "given away," but most of those foaled
within the last 10 years brought sums that fairly surprised
many of the best judges, especially as their produce have
in some instances done nothing. The royal yearlings
were certainly, taken as a whole, very good-looking, the
St. Albans small, but showing the Stockwell mark in most
of them. Tho Theodora colt was a great beauty, and
caused some spirited competition before it was knocked
down to Mr. Pardee for 800 guineas. The high-priced
one of the lot—the colt by Newminster, Bracey—did not,
as is often the case, bear away the palm in every one's
estimation, but the sale commanded the interest of the
afternoon from the keen contest for his possession between
the Marquis of Hastings and Mr.Hrhaplin, the undoubted
"stayers," who are not easily diverted from their purpose
by such trifles as a hundred or two, more or less. Mr.
Chaplin was the successful ono on this occasion, and secured
the prize for 1,500 guineas. Lord Hastings bought a very
promising-looking filly by St. Albans—Eulogy, a trifle
light below the knee, but showing great quality, for 650
guineas, and the sister to Chattanooga, though somewhat
short and slack in the loins, bids fair to turn out a racer.
Mr. Padwick gave 600 guineas for her. The snm realised
for the Queen's yearlings was 8,571 guineas, an average of
about 343 each.

Mr. Greville's Contadina colt, whose dam fetched the top
price among the mares, was considered the pick of his lot,
and was put in by Mr. Jackson at £3OO directly he ap-
peared. Of course Lord Hastings, who had bought the
dam, and last year gave a high figure for her colt King Hal,
must have the rest of the family, and after some sharp firing
secured him for 1,500 guineas. His lordship also bought a
remarkably fine filly, if not the finest yearling there, by
Newminster—Barcelona, with grand quarters and loins, a
magnificently-topped animal, for 950 guineas. Lord Stam-
ford showed his judgment in purchasing the colt by New-
minster—Muscovite's dam, a powerful-lookipg young one,
with plenty of bone and substance. 6,266 guineas was the
sum realised for the yearlings, and upwards of 329 guineas
the average—a great increaso on former years.
The business commenced early ; it was not over till late
in the afternoon, an hour having been devoted to the Royal
hospitality in the shape of an excellent luncheon, provided
this yeas in a spacious marquee. A sale with such satisfac-
tory pecuniary results has not been held for some time in
the pleasant paddocks of Hampton Court.
