SALE OF THE RAWOLIFFE YEAIZLINGS

Twenty yearlings from the Itawcliffe Stud were offered
for sale on Monday by Mr. Edmund Tattersall at Albert
Gate, and of these eighteen wore disposed of, two only re-
maining unsold, which were a colt by Voltigaur out of
Mary, and a filly by Young Melbourne out of Thistle.
There were four Newminsters, four Clarets, and the same
number of Young Melbournes ; Voltigeur, Leamington,
Jordan, Citadel, Carnival, Blair Athol, and Brother of Bird
on the Wing claiming parentage to the others. Owing to
the severe weather that has prevailed in Yorkshire, these
yearlings were not so forward as youngsters bred in the
South, but they were healthy and unencumbered with flesh,
the state in which a trainer prefers to get them. Without ex-
ception, they were as sound a lot as we ever inspected, their
hocks and joints being well formed and free from disease.
The eighteen lots disposed.of realised 2,650 guineas, being
an average of nearly 143 guineas each, a price which can
hardly be considered remunerati re, when the great expense
attending the rearing of blood stock are considered. The
recent resolution promulgated by Messrs. Tattersall, that
all animals should be paid for before being removed, may
in some instances have prevented more liberal prices being
given ; but in the and it is likely to prove advantageous to
all parties. Considering that it was the Monday after the
Derby, the attendance was not so large as usual, and many
of the principal Turfites were absent, being probably en-
gaged with more important business in the rooms adjoin-
ing. The Voltigeurs figured.rather ingloriously, the only
one sold being the filly out of Kildonan's dam, which is
very moderate, and brought her full value. The filly by
Jordan out of Emeute, a useful wear-and-tear sort of ani-
mal, and certain to race, also went cheap to Mr. Saxon. The
Young Melbournes were next put up, but were not much ad-
mired,being deficient in quality. The first of them, a filly out
of Thistle, was not sold,. there being no bidder for her, and
the other three were taken by Mr. B. E. Dunbar (owner of
Tormentor) at low prices. The colt out of Pauline brought
the most money, and will prove the best of the three.
Prince Soltykoff obtained one of the most useful colts of
the entire lot for the small sum of 50 guineas. Ho is by
Citadel out of a mare by Jordan, and although low in con-
dition has fine girth and good back, with extraordinary
well set hocks. The Carnival colt met with an accident
on the day previous to the sale, and was iu consequence
stiff in his quarters. Ile is small, but well topped and
compact. The colt by Brother. to Bird on the Wing
was, in our opinion, the cheapest animal sold. Mr.
Oldacre, after some little competition with Priuco
Solty-
koff, obtainedhim for 70 guineas, and afterwards transferred
him for a consideration toMr. It. Porter. The Blair Athol
colt is large and powerful, but his action is not good. The
Newminsters were put up next, and consisted of two colts
and two fillies, which produced in the aggregate 1,160 gs.
The "gem" of the sale was the filly by Newininster out of
Dutchman's Daughter, a remarkably woll-grown, racing-
like animal, with splendid legs and sound joints. After
some spirited bidding between Mr. Angell aed Mr. Holmes,
the latter gentleman obtained her for 560 guineas, at which
price she was decidedly cheap. The recent success of
Hermit should have stimulated bidders to give better prices
for the stock of Newtninster, as the old horse cannot -pos-
sibly last many years longer. The filly by Claret out of
Queen Bee, although rather small, is compact and•well
shaped, with good legs and foot ; but she owed her price
more to the reputation of her half-sisters, Cerintha and
Cellina, than to her own excellence. ' The colt by Claret
out of Sphynx. (dam of Beeswing, winner of the Chester
Cup) is large and well topped, but leggy. He was examined
carefully by Squire Ileathcote, who, however, did not ap-
pear to fancy him, and in consequence Mr. G. Angell ob-
tained him, but gave quite enough for him. The list of
prices and purchases is appended; which shows an average
of upwards of 9 guineas :

YACHTING.

RANELAGLI YACHT CLUB.

£2, 650

The above club opened its season on Tueslay with a
match amongst the second-class yachts for two prizes, re-
spectively of the value of £lO and £3. The competing
craft were as follows:
Yachts. Tons. Owners.
Erolite
Dagmar ... 5
Novice

There was a time allowance of a minute per ton. The
course was front Erith to the Chapman Head and back, and
the yachts were started at a quarter to twelve in a very
stiff wind from S.S.W., which obliged them all to have
roof down, the Dagmar, indeed, sailing throughout the day
with two in her mainsail. It was what was ordinarily
termed a " soldier's breeze." The Novice, front her size,
was first in trim and under way, followed by the Dagmar.
The Zeolite then tried to weather the Novice, but the
latter lulling, she bore up to leaward. The Novice only
hold her lead into Long Reach, where the Zeolite passed
her, and ever after this maintained the lead ; nor was
there anything else worthy of record throughout the match,
the superior tonnage of the Zeolite rendering her success,
barring accident, a matter almost of certainty. The
Zeolite. turned at the Chapman GI minutes in advance of
the Novice, and beat. her after a little running to windward
in the Hope by about five minutes. The Dagmar kept
tolerably close to the second boat, and all were very well
sai led.
The Fairy steamer accompanied the race with a very
respectable company on board. The weather was some-
w•hat uninviting in the morning, or the visitors would pro-
bably have been more numerous.
