cord was made drawing a hirh-wheel

merry clip. though he has already landed

stud by Major w. +. Bachelor az Ra-

l.,
at the Fashion Breeding Stud disposal AT
Burlington, y. c., on the Goth instant
and kindly sends me some notes con-
corning the sale. The attendance was
good. the bidding quick and spirited
while the prices were very satisfactory.
Seventeen head sold for 5000. an average
Of nearly $500 The bay stallion Melville
Chief brought $50. the highest figure
obtained. Uncas. 2.3l II. chestnut stall
lion, by Senica chief. brought $40. The
plum Of the sale. the chestnut mare
Norline, 231. by Norfolk fell to Mr.. j..
Banks Hollis bid of 500. She was con-
sidered great bargain at that figure.
a full report Of the sale, with prices
and purchasers names. will be published
I'm our next Sundays issue.

a horse. Ormande was bred i'm England
and taken TO the Argentine Republic I'm
1852 where he remained tll November
last, when he was brought back to the
land Of his birth and made stud sea-
son there during the past spring. After
reaching New York he will be given a
short rest and then shipped 10 California

DonOugh's stud.
1t IS likely that the advent Of Ormande
will cause considerable enthusiasm In
this country. No greater race horse was
ever bred in Great Britain or anywhere
else. lie was never beaten. though he
n0urished i'm the time of such mighty
performers as Menting, Paradox, Melton,
BendigO. Bard. ST. Gatien, &c, all Of
whom he beat as ne did all the Derby
and ST. Leger winners OF other years.
Those who saw Stockwell, his son,
Blair Anthol St. Simon and Gladiator
perform pronounce Ormande their equal.
This country is nothing il not progress
siye and it will be "a distinguished honor
10 have owned within her borders the
best horse in the world.
