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'" most fashionable sires, out of Touchstone mare. Gorton is the sire of such well-known performers as Blizzard, St. Ives, St Malo, Pique, Conjurer, Emmason, Langley, Enfield, Mistral, Rothamsted, Warring ton, Errington, and others.

TO STAND this Season, and travel the 1 Wakanui, Rakaia, Lauriston, and Ashbur '": ton Forks Districts^ The PUREBRED CLYDESDALE ENTIRE EMPEROR. IT mperob is a beautiful bright bay, stands -J 16 hands 3 inches high, on short legs, with great strength and bone, fine symmetry, and sup"rior 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., Doylestonj his sire, that well-known horse General Gordon. General Gordon has gained six first prizss, three seconds, and three special prizes, for best draught entire in the show yard. General Gordon's dam is Marchioness 1., the noted prize^takitjg 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 has 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. Victor's sire, Conqueror, imported from Scotland; hie grand-sire, Scottish Champion. Emperor's dam, Jess, by Glenroy, also a noted prize-taker; grand-dam, by Old Major. 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. TEP.MS—Season, £2103, payable January 1, 1894; guarantee, £3 10s; payable August 1, 1894. Groomage fee, ss; payable first service. Mares changing hands to be paid for as season mares. For other terms, apply to Groom n charge, or NICHOLAS FITZGERALD, 9 202 Proprietor, Seaview. TO STAND 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.g. 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 850 guineas The filly Nonpareil 11. has never been beaten wherever shown. It would occupy too much space to enumerate and comment on all 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 afc 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 j 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 fpal 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 in any way, first owners will be held liable. For particulars apply to SAMUEL TIERNEY, Proprietor, 3f184 Or Groom in charge.

For further pedigree see cards or New Zealand Stud Book. YOUNG CHEVIOT'S Record was highly creditable, for during the thirteen months after coming into his present owner's possession he won 13 races, 7 times second, 3 times third, and 6 times unplaced, one of those times he fell. In 1891-92, he won the Maiden Plate at Oamaru, with 9st 31b, beating Sincerity, Bst 91b, and several others.

Both were very easy wins ; and on the second day Young Cheviot gave that great performer Merganser 141bs in the Criterion Stakes, and was only just beaten by a bare half length, the mare carrying 7st 51b, and Young Cheviot, Bst 51b. Young Cheviot won all his races very easily, and each time he started he met good fields, so that his record on the turf stamps him as a good performer. His sire Cheviot, is one of the most sought after sires in America, where his stogk are remarkable for fcheir racing qualities and soundness. TERMS—£3 10s, payable first week in January.

This mare was im ported by Mr Robert Wilkin, but before leaving America, Hiram Woodruff, a great authority on trotting, drove Jenny Tracey a mile in 2tnin 18Jsecs. 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.
