BALLOT.—Mr. John Smith, of Harsley Grange, in Cleve-
land, Yorkshire, has bought of Mr. 11. Smithson, of Mal-
tob, this very promising bay two-year-old colt, son of
Underhand and Adelaide (Kapunda's dam), by Melbourne,
where ho intends him for the use of that district. Ballot is
like growing into a magnificent horse, has splendid action,
and is like getting first-class hunters or carriage horses.
There is a great want in Cleveland of stud horses of this
description, so as to obtain more quality and blood, at the
same time retaining that fine coaching action. Mr. Smith
has now very happily introduced into that part of the
country a horse suitable and in every way likely to please
breeders.
Newbridge Steeple Chases.—This meeting, which is
generally the opening of the racing season iu Ireland, is
fixed for January 22. The sport promises to be first-class,
and the introduction of flat racing into the programme is a
great improvement. The course, which is different from
last. year, embraces a lot of fair hunting obstacles, and is
also well adapted for the flat, and being so near the Cur-
ragh a fine opportunity will be afforded trainers to give
their nags an early breathing.
Rillington (Yorkshire) Races.—This little local affair
was brought to an issue on the 28th ult., and the principal
event, tho Rillington Stakes, was wou by Mr. Barker's Miss
Cott, 3 yrs, 7st 41b, boating Southminster,"agad, and two
Others.—Mr. Barker's Pretty Girl carried off a Pony Race,
Capt. Potter's Mark Tapley was successful in a Hurdle
Race in heats, and a Scurry for a bridle fell to Mr. Shep-
herd's Malta, by Gibraltar.
