AWAMOA is by the champion horse Young Banker (1, N.Z. Stud Book), im ported from Scotland by theHon Matthew Holmes. Dam, Lena, imported from Scotland, by Luck's All; g.d. Jessie Brown, imported, by Old Times, dam by Lochfergus Champion, Awiimoa is therefore a horse of great lineage; m fact, he is one of the beetbred horses m the world. On one aide he is sprung from the Prince of Wale* and on the other from Loehfergus; 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 wai 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 100 much space for a card to enumerate and comment on all the prizetakers that have sprung from Awamoa. His yearling get* 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 Dunedin; as a two year old, first at Christchurch, and second at Oamaru; as a three year old, first at Oamara and champion horse of the yard; following year second at Oamaru and second at Timarn; and when seven years old wa« champion at Oamaru. It will thus be seen that Awamoa has been successful m the ring; he has been very successful as a breeder; he has proved himself a sire 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 paid for by the person engaging the horse. Groom's fee, ss, payable at time of service.
