Thunderbolt was probably the most brilliant horse in England of his day, having btaten Buc caneer (who is credited with the fastest mile on record—l*3B) the only time they met; he is also the sire of some of the greatest racehorses in England. The pedigree of Lyra speaks for itself, being by Thormanby (sire of Albany), one of England'o most fashionable sires, out of Touchstone mare.

Empeb'ir is a beautiful bright bay, stands 16 hands 3 inches high, on short 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 P. 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 best 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 than 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 h»3 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 Southland, always gaining first prizes when shown.

Glenroy was bred in Victoria, his 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 possible to procure. TERMS—Season, £210s, payable January 1, 1894; guarantee, £3 103; payable August 1, 1894. Groomage fee, ss; payable first service. Mares changing hands to be paid for as season mares.

TO STAND at Methven and TRAVEL in the Rakaia and Methten Districts, THE PUREBRED AND HIGILCLASS CLYDESDALE ENTIRE AWAMOA. AWAMOA is by the champion horse Ycucg Banker (1, N Z. Stud Book) imported from Scotland by the Hon Matthew Holmes. Dam, Lena, imported from Scot land, by Luck's All; g.d. Jessie Brown, imported, by Old Times, dam by Lochfergu 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 sire 3 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 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 at Dunedin ; as a two-year-old, first at Christ church and second at 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. 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 as a sire, and breeders should not miss such a chance, as they have not had Ruch a stallion in the district before, Terms—Guarantees, four guineas.
