WILLIAM M'ILKAITH, South bridge-. 10J31 ■- * TO TRAVEL THIS SEASON, IN ASH BURTON and the SURROUNDING DISRICTS. THE PURE-WftD AND HIGH CLASS CLYDESDALE STALLION Awamoa. AWAMOA is by the champion horse Young Banker (I, N.Z. Stitd Book), im ported from Scotland by the Hpn Matthew Holmes. Dam, Lena, imported from Scotland, by Luck's All; g.d. Jessie Bjown, imported, by Old Times, dam by Lochfergus Champion. ' Awamoa is therefore a horse of great lineage; m fact, he is one of the beat bred horses m the world. On one side he i 8 sprung from the Prince of Wales and on the other from Lochfergus; and anyone, who pretends to knowledge m these matters un derstands that these two sires wete. the most successful stud horses that the world has ever known. Awamoa has been a most successful breeder. The colt Regent was never beaten m the ring, and lowered the colors of the famous British Lion when .only two years old, and was'sold at 350 guineas. The filly Nompareil II has never, been bea'en wherever shown. It •would occupy too much space for a card to enumerate, and comment on all the prizetakers that have sprung from Awamoa. His yearling gets are better than ever, and anyone thinking of using this stallion should take a trip to Oamaru and inspect the young Btopk m the paddocks at Awamoa. Besides being a great breeder, Awamoa had a good career m the show ring. As a yearling he ' took first at Oamaru, first at Christchurch, first at Timaru, and first at Dunedin; as a two year old, first at Christchurch, and second at Oamaru; as a three year old, first at Oamaru and champion horse of the yard; following year second at Cbmaru and second at Timaru; and when seven years old was champion at Oamaru. It will thus ,be seen that Awamoa has been successful m the rinu;; he has been very successful as a breeder ; he has proved himself a sure foal getter ; hence his value m the 3lstrict where he goes to travel.
