TO STAND at Methven and TRAVEL in the Eakaia and Methven Districts, THE PUREBRED AND HIGH-CLASS CLYDESDALE ENTIRE AWAMQA. 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 S'eot land, br Luck's All; g.d. Jessie Brown, imported, by Old Times, dam by Lochfergu Champion. AWAMOA is therefore a horse of great lineage j 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 1 ptosj; supyessful stud horses that the world has eyer known. Awamoa has been a most successful breeder. The cplt Regent was never beaten in the ring, and lowered the colors of the famous British Lion when only two years old, apd was sold at 350 guineas i'he filly Nonpareil 11. has never been beaten wherever shown. It would occupy too much apace to enumerate and comment on prizetakers that have sprung from Awamoa Besides being a great breeder, Awamoa had $, good career in the show ring. As a yearling he topic first prij^e at Oamaru, firs at Chrietchurch, first at Timaru, and first at Dunedin ; as a two-year-old, first at Chriat, church and second at Oamaru 5 as a three year-oW, 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 Been that Awamoa has been successful in the ring ; he Was beef) vpry successful as a breeder ; he has proved himself & cure fpal fetter; 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.
