TO TRAVEL THIS SEASON, IN ASH BURTON and the SURROUNDING DISRICTS. THE ' PURE-BRED AND HIGH CLASS CLYDESDALE STALLION Awamoa. AWAM.OA is by the champion horse Young Banker (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 Wales 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 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 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 Timaru, and first at DiHiedin ; as a two year ftld, first at Christchurch, "and second at bamai-u; 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 seven years old was champion at Oamaru. It will thus be seen that Awamoa has been successful m the rintc; 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. Terms, £4; £2 payable January 2,, 1892; and £2 when mare proves m foal All mares changing hands to be paidfor by the person engaging the horse.
