TO STAND this Season, and travel the Wakanui, Rakaia, Lauristori, and Ashbur ton Forks Districts^ The PUREBRED CLYDESDALE ENTIRE EMPEROR.



Empkr r is a beautiful bright bay, stands 16 hands H inches high, on shart. legs, with great strength and bone, fine symmetry, and superior action, and was foaled Novem ber 23, 1887, and was only shown once (in 1890), when he took second prize at Ash burton A and Pi Association's Show. EMPEROR was bred by James Byrnes, Esq., Doyleston; his sire, that well-known horse General Gordon. General Gordon has gained six first prizas, three seconds, and three special prizes, for 1 est draught entire in the show yard, General Gordon's dam is Marchioness 1., the noted prize-taking mare. In her show yard career she has taken no less lhan sixteen first prizes, seven second prizes, and eighteen ■special prizes, including champion gold medal, and has been first seven times in succession for best mare (and two of her progeny), and in this respect she has never been beaten. General Gordon, sire Victor. Victor has been very successful in his show yard career, gaining seven first prizes, four second prizes, and four special prizes, including champion gold medal twice : Victor's dam, Diamond, a noted prize-taker in vSouthland, always gaining first prizes when shown. Victor's sire, Conqueror, imported from Scotland ; his grand-sire, Scottish Champion. Emperor's dam, Jess, by Glenroy, also a noted prize-taker ; grand-dam, by Old Major. Glenroy was bred in Victoria, hia sire, Prince of Wales, dam Darling, by Redman. The above will tend to show that Emperor has the best strains of blood in him that it is pp^sible to procure, TERMS—-Season, £? 10s, payable January 1, 1894; guarantee, £'t} 10s; payable August 1, 1894, Groomage fee, ss; payable first service.

TO STAND at Methven and TRAVEL in the Rakaia and Methven Districts, THE PUREBRED AND HIGH-CLASS CLYDESDALE ENTIRE AWAMOA. AWAMOA is by the champion horse Young Banker (1, N Z. Stud Book) imported from Scotland by the Hqn Matthew Holmes. Dam, Lena, imported from Scot land, by Luck's All; g.d. Jessie Brown, imported, by Old Times, dam by Lochfergug Champion. AWAMOA is therefore a horse of great lineage; in fact he is one of the best bred horses in the world On one side he is sprung from Prince of Wales, and on the other from Lochfergus; and anyone wko pretends to knowledge in these matters understands that these two sires were the most successful stud horses that the world has ever known. Awamoa has been a most successful breeder. The colt Regent was never beaten in the ring, and lowered the colors of the famous British Lion when only two years old, and was sold at 350 guineas The filly Nonpareil 11. has never been beaten wherever shown. It would occupy too much space to enumerate and comment on all prizetakers that have sprung from Awamoa Besides being a great breeder, Awamoa had a good career in the show ring. As a yearling he took first prize at Oamaru, firs at Christchurch, first at Timaru, and first a b Dunedin j as a two-year-old, first at Christ church and second ab Oamaru; as a three" year-old, first at Oamaru and champion of the yard ; following year second at Oamaru and second at Timaru ; and when seven years old was champion at Oamaru. Ifc 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 as a sire, and breeders should not miss such a chance, as they have not had such a stallion in the district before, Terms —Guarantees, four guineas. Season mares as per agreement. Groomage fee ss, payable first service. All mares changing hands in any way, first owners will be held liable.
