SALE OF THE DUKE OF BEAUFORT'S
RACING STUD.

This sale was held on Saturday afternoon in the
saddling-paddock at Ascot, and in the stabling of
the adjoining hotel the horses were inspected by a
crowd of well-known owners and trainers, native
and foreign, whom the fame of the stud had at-
tracted to the spot. There was no attempt to make
the lots attractive for selling purposes. With the
exception of Lord Ronald, Vauban, and one or two
of the young ones, all had their winter coats, and
few had done any work since the end of last season.
Lord Ronald, who had previously led Gomera,
Europa, the Roe colt, the Farfalla filly, and one
or ,two others a canter on the heath, was the
first lot put up by Mr. E. Tattersall, who in-
troduced the winner of 17 races with an expres-
sion of his confident belief that he would win
17 more, and in some prefatory remarks took
occasion to observe that, as John Day had won
£60,000 for his employers last year in public
money alone, racing was not such a bad speculation
as some people supposed. Lord Ronald, once en-
tered in a selling plate to be sold for £lOO, was put
in by M. Cavallero, the Austrian commissioner, at
1,000 guineas, and was ultimately knocked down to
Mr. T. V. Morgan at an advance of 550. He looked
the perfect model of a steeplechaser, as did the next
lot, Gomera, also once considered a selling plater,
the winner of the Goodwood Stakes, with fine ac-
tion and great speed. Nor did the Dnke of New-
castle give too much for her when she fell to his
nod for 1,000 guineas. Ceylon, the winner of the
Grand Prix in 1866, had a more than doubtful leg,
and only realised 420 guineas ; but Viridis made
some amends by bringing 2,000 guineas, though a
thousand less than the Duke gave for her at New-
market last autumn. This is the mare which has
unanimously been selected to win the Chester Cup
since the weights came out, but her appearance to-
day was anything but promising. She has not grown
or thickened at all, and looked very light.

Vauban, the great money-getter of last year,
beating in this respect 'both Hermit and Achieve-
ment, was the subject of a keen competition be-
tween Mr. Pryor and Captain Machell, and the
price the latter secured him at, for, it is to be pre-
sumed, Mr. Chaplin-3,200 guineas—fairly sur-
prised every one. It is true, the horse looked
remarkably well, but his very upright pasterns bode
so ill for his future career that his few valuable en-
gagements look anything but certainties for him,
Herald, brother to Vauban, a Derby candidate
once figuring in the quotations, though much im-
proved since last year, failed for some time to elicit
a bid, and only realised 200 guineas at last. The
increasing taste for steeplechasing was exemplified
by the good prices which anything that looked like
jumping brought, and the Duke of Hamilton, in
Aquila and Painshill, has, we fancy, secured two
that will repay him in this favourite sport.
The heavily-armed two year olds sold well. One
of the handsomest, and also the most deeply en-
gaged, a chestnut colt by Trumpeter—The Roe—
bought by Mr. Padwick for 1,050 guineas, and the
lengthy colt by the same sire out of Palm fetched
600 guineas. The perfect beauty of the lot was
the Farfalla filly, also by Trumpeter—small, but
looking every inch a racehorse, with the additional
advantage that she appeared fit to run the next
day. The Duke of Newcastle bought her for 500
guineas. _ .

We may fairly congratulate the Duke of Beaufort
on the result of the sale. The 26 lots realised
15,480 guineas, or over £16,000, a sum a good
deal in excess of what the betting (for people bet
on everything) pointed to as to the total. There
was a very handsome luncheon, and so quickly did
Mr. Tattersall get through the work, that the South
'Western special was almost unnecessary, and the
ordinary train, a little before 5, conveyed us all

THE OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE BOAT RACE.-
CEIANGE OF OXFORD STROKE.

CAMBRIDGE, Saturday.
The University boat went yesterday afternoon to Clay-
hitho and back, a distance of about 10 or 11 miles, Mr.
Maulo coaching. This morning Mr. T. E. Egan is ex-
pected to arrive, and give tho crew the advantage of his
judgment and experience. Kelley has not returned, nor
will he do so again, but his services have not been value-
less, as the alteration of the stretchers has made a mani-
fest improvement in the crew. According to present
arrangements the Cantabs will go up to London this day
week, and will remain till they have either gained or lost
tho verdict.

OxFORD, Saturday.

The crew went the long course this afternoon, Carter,
of Worcester, who has been rowing six, taking Willan's
place as sevou, and Willan filling Carter's former position,
Tottenham steering and an ex-member of the Oxford crow
coaching.

THE EASTERN FISHERIES.—The Spring herring
fishery has commenced off the Eastern coast. A fleet of
boats has also proceeded westward, and others are pre
paring to follow, with a view to the prosecution of the
mackerel voyage.
CONSERVATISM AT CAMBRIDGE.—The Cam-
bridge Conservative Club has adopted a resolution ex-
pressing confidence in Mr. Disraeli upon his appointment
as Premier
