stable, at Malton.
The cause of West Australian's decline for the Doncaster
St. Leger, at Tattersall's last week, from 6 to 5 on to 6 to 4

before the end of the week, his last price being layers of 6 to
5 on him.
Mr. Thomas Kirby, of York, the well-known breeder of

lions are for the French Government, for whom Count d'He-
douville has also purchased Womersley from Sir Tatton
Sykes. and Fortunatus and The Setter from Mr. J. Newton.

Stakes, with The Ranee, by John o'Gaunt ; the Great York-
