IN ASH £V££ 0N and fchc SURROUNDING DI3RICTS, THE PURE-BRED 7nD HIGH CLASS CLYDESDALE STALLION Awanioa. AWAMOA is by the champion horse \oung Banker (I, N.Z. Stud fcook), im ported from Scotland by the Hon Matthew Holmes, Dam, Lera, imported from Scotland, by Luck's All; g.d. Jessie Brown, imported, by Old Times, dam by Loehfcnm Champion « Awamoa is therefore a horse of grea lineage; in fact, he is one of the best bred horses in the world. On one side he is I sprung from the Prince of Wale< and on the other from Lochfergus; and anyone who pretends to knowledge in these matters un derstands that these two sires weie the most successful stud horses thatthewprld has ever known. Awamoa has been a most successful breeder. The colt- Regent was never beaten in the ring, arid; lowered the colors of the famous British Lion when only two years old, and was sold at 390 guineas. The filly Nompareii II has never been bea*en wherever shown. It would occupy too much «pace for a card to enumerate and comment on all thfe prizetakera that have sprung from Awamoa. His yearling gets are better than ever, and anyone thinking of using this stallion should tako a trip to Oamaru and inspect the young stock in the paddocks at Awamoa. Besides being a great breeder, Awamoa had a good career in 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; m a three year old, first at Oamaru and champion horse of the yard; following year second at Oamaru and second at lunaru; and when seven years old was champion at Oamaru, It will thus be seen that Awamoa has been successful in the ring; he has been very successful as a breeder; he has proved himself a sure foal getter ; hence his value in the district where he goes to travel. I'kkms, £4; £2 payable January 2, 1892; and £2 when mare proves in foal. All mares changing hands to be paid for by the person engaging the horse.

Bucketorie was another grand horse, and was famous not only for the dead heat he ran with Tim Whiffler for the Ascot Cup, but also for his match against the Earl of Glasgow's Knowsley for 500 guineas aside, which he won in a canter. Tim Whiffler was the sire of Briseis, who won the Melbourne Cup and Derby, and the dam of Macilleathean being by Fisherman, shows his grand strain of blood, as a study of the Stud Book will show that Musket's great success has been from Australian bred mares, for the descendants of the grand old Fisherman, viz., Martini- Henry, Nordeufeldt and Trenton are all descended from Fisherman on the dam's side.
