Dam, Lena, imported from Scotland, by Luck's All; g.d. Jessie Brown, imported, by Old Times, dam by Lochfereu Champion Awamoa i 3 therefore a horse of grea lineage; m fact, he 13 one of the best bred horses m the world. On one side he is sprung from the Prince of Wale« 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 thatthe world has ever known. Awamoa has been a most successful breeder. The oolt 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 prizetukers 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. Aba yearling he took first at Oamaru, first at Christchurch, first at limaru, and first at Danedin; 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 Oamaru and second at Timaru; and when eeven years old was champion at Oamaru. It will thus be Been that Awamoa has been successful m the rini?; he has been very successful as a breeder ; he has proved himself a sure foal getter ; hence his value m the district where he goes to travel. Tkrms,£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, 5s payable at time of service.

THE COOPERATIVE SYSTEM, WHICH insures mutual help and identity of interests, has met with pheno menal success wherever it has been applied to any object.
