He also used to drive Berlin's full brother, Marabrino Dudley ; and Mr Woodruff says in his book on trotting—" If ever there was a horse which could trot a mile in 2 minutes Mambrino Dudley could before seeing so much stud duty. So it is plain that Ken tacky and General Tracey contain the very best strains of American trotting blood. Mares grazed free. Every care taken bu no responsibility. J. 0 N. GRIGG, Longbeach.

TO STAND this Season, and travel the Wakanui, Rakaia, Lauriston, and Ashbur ton Forks Districts'] This P DREBRED C LYDESD & LE ENTIRE EMPEROR. Emper R is a beautiful bright bay, stands 16 hands 3 inches high, on short. leg 3, with great strength and bone, fine symmetry, and superior action, and was foaled Novem i ber 23) 1887, and was only shown once (in 1890)) when he took second prize at Ash burton A and P.

TOHSTAND 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 Hon Matthew Holmes. Dam, Lena, imported from Scot land, by Luck's All; g.d. Jessje Brpwn, imported, by Old Times, darn by LoehfergUs 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 irom 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 fitly Nonpareil 11. has never been beaten wherever shown. It would occupy too much space to enumerate and comment on all praetakers that have sprung from Awamoa Besides being a great breeder, Awamoa ha a a good career in the show ring. As a yearling he took first pri?,c at Oamaru, firs at Ghristchurch, first at Timaru, and first as 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 se-ond 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 uetter; 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 mates as per agreement. Grooinage fee ss, payable first service. All mares changing hands in any way, first owners will be hejxl liable.

THOMAS ROBERTS, 112, Victoria Street, Westminster. a ANIMBR & Sons' Eucalypti Extrac There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract in the market now, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken, Oar Pure Volatile Euca lypti Extract, which is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government to be of perfectly pure origin, as per information forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we state :— It is proved by tests made by the Medicial Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswal I, Prussia, and reported by Dr Schulz, Professor of Pharmacology at Bonn, and Professor Dr Mosler, Director of tbe Medical Olinic at Greifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of acids, resinous and other substances, adherent to primary distillation, will develop the sanative qualities proper to the plant, SANDER & SON'S EUCALYPTI EXTRACT according to these authorities, and according to Pro fessoi' Dr Lister, of England, and to Drs Bauer, Mclntire, Wood, Hazard, etc., of America, Is the only extract correspondingto scientific tests, and the only one which possesses the proper therapeutic value. All other crude oils are to be classed among the turpentines, which have, when used as medicine, no | therapeutic effect and are abandoned as an internal medicament. These so called Eucalypti Extracts, which may have received distinction at Exhibitions as commercial articles and are used for mechanical pur poses only are discernible :— . 1. By their deficiency ii*pungent odour (which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extrao de velops most freely through its surplus of oxy *p. ). 2 By their alcoholic thin and mobile appearance, being reduced in specific density through the presence of acids: ... . 3. By their taste, the result of the contracting ten dency of resins and tennates. If these crude oils, ao callei eucalypti extracts are applied by mistake in oases of croup, bronchitis, diph theria, internal inflammations, dysentery, wounds, etc. the consequences are most appalling, for safety ask n<;itr filwavs for Sander and Sons' Eucalypti KracVandget the ojd, well-tested and reliable Di-enaration.—Sandhurst, Victoria, Australia. ---1 - «and«r and Son*
