TO TRAVEL THIS SEASON, IN ASH BURTON and the SURROUNDING DISRICTS. THE PURE-BRED AND HIGH CLASS CLYDESDALE STALLION Awamoa. - AWAMOA is by the champion horse Young Bauker (I, N.Z. Stud Book), im ported from Scotland by the Hon Matthew Holmes. Dam, Lena, imported from Scotland, by Luck's All; g.d. Jessie Brown, imported, by Old Times, dam by Lochfergus Champion. Awamoa is therefore a horse of great lineage ; m fact, he is one of the best bred horses m the world. On one side he is sprung from the Prince of W Tales and on the other from Lochfergus; and anyone who pretends to knowledge m these matters un derstands that these two sires weie 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 beaten 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 stillion should take a trip to Oamaru and inspect the young stock 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 Timarit, and first at Dunedin ; as a two year old, first at Christchurch, and second at Oemaru; as a three year old, first at Oamaru and champion horse of the yard ; following year second at O-iniarti and second at Tinniru; and when seven years old was champion at Oamaru. It will thus be seen that Awamoa has been successful m the rint?; he has been very successful as a breeder ; he has proved himself a sure foal getter ; hence hi 3 value m the district where he goes to travel. Terms, £4; £2 payable January 2, 1892 ; and £2 when mare proves m foal. All mares changing hands to be paid for by the person engaging the horse. Groom's fee, ss, payable at. time of service.
