TO STAND THIS SEASON. The Thoroughbred Horse Macilleathean Will stand m Ashburton, and Travel the Surrounding Districts this Season. MACILLEATHEAN is a handsome dark brown or black horse, and stands 18 hands high. He was got fby the English Tim Whiffler-out ■of Flying Scud, Flying Scud ws a dark bay mare, bred m Victoria by Mr J. Harper m 1865, and was got by Fisherman. ; Tim Whiffler was scarcely ever beaten and has won as many cups and handicaps as any other horse m England. He Won the Chester Cup, and ran a dead heat ,vith Buckstone tor the Ascot Cap. Buckstone was another grand horse, and was famous no only for his dead heat he ran with Tim Whiffler for the. Ascot C'ttn' but also for his match against fche Earl!of Glasgow's Knowsley for 500 guineas which he won m a canter. Tim Whiffler was the sire of Briseis, who won nhe Melbourne Cup and Derby, and the dam of Macilleathean being by Fisherman shows his grand strain of blood,, as a study of the Stud Book will show that Musket's grea success has been from Australian bred mares, for the descend ants of the grand old Fisherman, viz., Martini-Henry, Nordenf eld t and Trenton are all descended from Fisherman on the dam's side Season money ■■' due on January Ist, 1891 ;-Ecaarantee money due on July Ist, 1891.
