Young Cheviot won all his races very easily, and each time be started he met good fields, so that his record on the turf stamps him as a good performer.

AWAMOA is by the champion horse Ycung Banker (1 } NZ. 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 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 betten 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 prisse 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-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. Ib 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 mates as per agreement. Groomage fee ss, payable first service. All mares changing hands many way, first owners will be held liable. For particulars apply to SAMUEL TIERNEY, Proprietor, +18.4 Or Groom in charge.
