Dealing first with the sale of the year
%, I may mention that Mr.. McCaig. a
end of Mr.. DAILY, has been for more
an half Z year in England with . rowing
mmission TO buy one OF two absolutely
II class colts. He has attended all the
portant race meetings and sales, but had
t. mp to this week, found anything good
ouRh to satisfy him, except a colt by
az, which he bought as a foal at Decem-
+ sales.
This week, however. 1t was rumored that
kearlina Of OF traordinary merit would b
md in the lot. which Mr. Brodrlck Cloete
wnsr Of the now dsfunct Psradox) was
hiding up for sale by Mr.. Tattersall, at
bwmarket.

The rumor - to the excellence Of this

The colt IL in short - near perfection a.
bssibls. He greatly resembles his sire,
BIT he has more size and score Than ever
ampton had. He has splendid freedom of

ould be impossible to imagine a nicer
barling. Mr.. McCaiR accordingly came

pup Mr.. Tsttersall for his being with
PAWN from the catalogue. The offer waa
$fnsbd, Mr.. Brodrick Closte being really

So the eventful moment came when the
pungster was lead into the sale ring amid

nd Capt. Clayton. who was near him,
ordered what new buyer had come into

list possible that this bid would secure the
bit but it was not to be.
At it they won't again until Capt. Clayton
