Stud book), im porte&rm Scotland by the Hon Matthew X? Vk Tm', i Lena ' '^Ported from fmlS £*■&?£? All .■£•<*. Jessie Brown, CTampbn * * I«***» _ Awamoa is therefore a horse of grea lineage; m fact, he is 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 thattheworid 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 prizetokers that have sprung from Awamoa. His yearling gets are better than ever, and anyone thinking of using this stallion should take a trip to Uamarn and inspect the young Btock 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 limaru, and first at Dunedin; as a two year old, first at Christchurch, and second at Oamaru; as a three year old,.firstat Oamaru and champion horse of the yard; folWine year second at Oamaru and second at limaru j and when eeven years old waa champion at Oamaru. It will thus be seen tnat Awamoa has been successful m the rimr;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 paid for by the person engaging the horse. Groom's fee, 5s payable at time of service.
