Stud .Notices. n ,0 ~STAJND This Season at Owner's JL Stable A&hbir-fon, the STANDARD-BRED TROTTING HOBSE, BLACKWOOD ABDALXAH, The sire of the fastest horses in New DUNCAN ABDALLAH, and YOUNG NEW STYLHJ, will stand at the Owner's Stable, Lyndhurst. For terms apply 10 13 MAX FRILDLANDER. TO STAND at Methven and TRAVEL in the Rakaia and Methven Districts, THE PUREBRED AND HIGH-CLASS CLYDESDALE ENTIRE AWAMOA. A »WAMOA is by the champion horse J\. Young 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. A WAMOA 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 lrom Prince of Wales, and on the other from Lochfergus; and anyone who 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 oeen 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 pace to enumerate and comment on Bribetakers thai have sprung from Awamoa Besides being a great breeder, Awamoa had 1 a good career in the show ring. As a yearling he took first prize at Oamaru, fires 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 hits 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 suoh 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 in any way, first wners will be held liable. For particulars apply to SAMUEL TIERNEY, Proprietor, tl Or jfroom in charge. TO STAND this season at Longbeach THE STANIARD-BRED AMERICAN TROTTING HORSE GENERAL TRACEY Servicas—s (guineas. THE Standard-bred American Trotting Stallion, GENERAL TRACEY, is full brother to the well-known performer, Kentucky, being by Berlin (imp.), dam, Jenny Tracey (imp.) This mare was im j ported by Mr Robert Wilkin, but before leaving America, Hiram Woodruff, a great authority on trotting, drove Jenny Tracey a mile in 2min 18|secs. He also used to drive Berlin's full brother, Mambrino Dudley; and Mr Woodruff says in his book on trotting—"lf 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 besc strains of American trotting blood. Mares grazed free. Every care taken bu o responsibility.
