NOTES OF THE TURF IN OTHER LANDS. Mr. Parkinson has disposed of the useful four-year-old till v. Little Icicle to o to South Africa. Hawkins, not Parfremenr, will ride the French horse. Trianon ML. in tlie Liverpool Grand National Steeplechase, for which another French horse. Lutteur III., is favorite. An English owner very recently made M. II. do Milium an offer of 3, 000 guineas for Trianon III. Joseph Shatwell, who has ridden no fewer than 317 winners on tlie continent, lias returned to Belgium, but the Ashton-untler-Lyiie lightweight, who can easily go to scale at 100 pounds, will ride in Germany during the coming season. He is probably the strongest jockey at his weight in his profession. Mr. Lionel Robinsons beautifully-bred mare, Perfect Peach, by Persimmon Fascination, has been mated with Roi Herode. The same owners Bill anil Coo has a line lilly by Polyuieltis and goes to Neil Gow, and his Gallinule mare. Joic do Vivre lias a lilly by Bayardo and goes to I.einberg. Mr. Kennedy Jones saw Castleton perforin over hurdles for the first time at Gntwick March 5, but he could not have been very deeply impressed by the jumping exhibition of bis ."..000 guineas purchase. The live-year-old was just as impetuous as he was at Windsor, and Duller had to bring all his strength into play to check him. Even then the horse brushed more than one hurdle, and almost sat down altogether at the last obstacle, where Speedy King headed him. but only for a moment, as Castleton recovered his stride and won handily enough.
