SALE OF BLOOD STOCK.

Notwithstanding the unfavourable time of the year for
disposing of thorough hied racing stock, steeplechase
horses, hunters, &c., Mr. Edmond Tattersall offered for
sale at Knightsbridge on Monday last no fewer than 115
lots, including some remarkable grand specimens for cross-
country work, whilst Mr. J. Merry Sent to the hammer 12
cast-offs from his racing stud by the following celebrated
sires:—Lord of the Isles, Thormanby, Dundee, Wild
Dayrell, and Stockwell, and the sale attracted a large at-
tendance of hinting men, trainers, and others. Weather-
bound and Marengo, two remarkably good-looking horses
for cross-country work, the propery of Mr. Fermin, were
eagerly sought after, but after a sharp competition,
Mr. Toynbce secured the former for 220 guineas,
and Mr. Yates, a capital judge of a steeplechase
horse, obtained Marengo very cheap at 200 guineas, and
the horse will join his stud. Mr. Merry's cast-offs
were an exceeding good-looking lot of well-bred
animals, in blooming health and splendid condition.
Liddington, by Orlando out of Lady Roden, 5 yrs, so
highly thought of for the Derby in 1865, is a very good-
looking blood-like horse all through, but being now very
musical, and his reserved price being 400 gs, he was not
sold; neither was Primate, by St. Albans out of Ellen
Middleton (WildDayrell's dam). Mirella, by Gomma di
Vergy, 4 yrs, a fashionable, clever-shaped brown mare,
apparently perfectly sound, went cheap to Mr. Graham at
200 guineas. A chestnut colt by Thormauby out of Cor-
delia, 3 yrs, standing nearly 16 hands high, with plenty of
bone and full of quality, but completely gone in his near
fore leg, was bought by Mr. Blenkiron for 140 gs, and we
should say the colt will be added to his list of stallions. A
wiry brown filly by Malcolm out of Manceuvre, 3 yrs, with
quick action, but rather light in substance, made 165 gs. A
slashing big brown filly, of immense length, by Dundee
out of Sunbeam, Mr. Blenkiron snapped up a bargain at
150 gs. Summertime, a handsome dark brown horse byS tock-
well out of Summerside, 4 yrs, of great bone and substance
all through, but disfigured from being fired on both
hocks, was sold for steeplechase purposes to Mr. R. Watts
for 200 gs. A brown colt by Wild Dayrell out of Phemy,
3 yrs, though light of bone, is a wiry customer, but he is
said to be troubled with the slows ; he, however, was sold
well. at 103 gs. Du.nstaffnage, a brown colt by Lord of
the Isles out of Crookshank, 3 yrs, has, however, curby
hocks, and wont for 35 gs. A bay filly by Dundee out of
Blanche of Middlebie, a small, compact, wiry, racing-like
filly, standing on very upright joints, realised 50 gs. Mr.
Clayton then obtained for 110 gs. a very useful blood-like
filly, though somewhat light in character, by Lord of the
Isles out of Lady Lurewell, 2 yrs. The last of the draft
brought before the auctioneer was an uncommon plain
filly by Lord of the Isles out of the celebrated Catherine
Hayes, who brought her full value, 25 gs. During
the afternoon the following horses were sold : Day-
rell, by W ild Dayrell—Lady Evelyn, 5 yrs, which Lord
Howth gave 60 gs. for. Usher, a handsome chestnut
horse, by Chatham, out of the Laurel mare, likely to
make a capital country stallion, though rather noisy,
went cheap to Mr. Seabrook at 25gs. Thorn, 2 yrs, by
Knight of the Thistle out of Celia, a smart, clever shaped,
wiry, useful colt, went a bargain to Lord Howth at 60gs.
Prodigal, a clever shaped bay gelding, by Stockwell out of
Straytra ay, 3 yrs, formerly in John Day's stable, though
, perfectly sound, only brought 70gs. The stallion Student,
by Chatham out of Oxonian's dam, by Laurel, being now
, almost worthless, only realised sgs. A bay colt by 'Drog-
-1 heda out of Lady Mary, by Orlando, 2 yrs, being all to
pieces, brought but 126 shillings. Red Deer, by Boynton,
dam by Black Strap, a stout, fashionable, and clever shaped
•
' hunter, went considerably below his value, 110 gs. Many
_ _ _ _

other very sound, useful looking hunters were also dis-
posed of. The following well known steeplechase horses
were brought to the hammer, but were bought in :—Com-
berton, King Alfred (brother to the last named), Columbia,
by Woolwich (so highly thought of for the Grand Na-
tional Chase last year, but who has been deeply fired in
both fore legs), and Temple Bar.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] --Holloway's Ointment and Pills.
Fistulas, piles, excoriations, and strictures are speedily re-
lieved and ultimately removed by applying this tintment
after fomentation with warm water. Persons suffering
from these scourges of the human race should arrest their
progress at ouce, for it is both insidious and rapid. Fis-
tulas, if allowed to go unchecked, not only weaken the
nervous system, but destroy life. The sooner these in-
valuable remedies are used the more certain is success ;
yet none need despair, hopeless cases have yielded, and
the sufferer has been saved a painful death. In excoria-
tions, a few applications of this healing ointment effect a
cure, while the pills, conjointly used, are especially bene-
ficial in relaxing and removing strietares, whatever their
Situations or duration,
