G< ORION'S Pedigree sh,ws him to ' be descended, both on dam and sire's sides, from the most successful racing stock m England. Thunderbolt was probably the most brilliant horse m England of his day, having beaten 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 m England. The pedigree of Lyra speaks for itself, being by Thormanby (sire of Albany), one of England's most fashionable sires, out of a Touchstone mare. Gorton is the sire of such well-known performers as Blizzard. St. Ives, Sfc Malo, Pique, Conjurer, Emmason, Langley, Enlield, Mistral, Rothamsted, Warring ton, Errington, and others. Tbkms —One mare, £5 5s ; two or more mares, £4 4s each. Groom's fee, ss. Owner at time ©f service held responsible for fee. Good paddocking free of charge till January 1, 1894.

I HE Si andard-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 ported by Mr Robert Wilkin, but before leaving America, Hiram Woodruff, agieat authority on trotting, drove Jenny Tracey a milo m 2min 18Jsecs. He also used to drive Berlin's full brother, Mambrino Dudley ; and Mr Woodruff says m his book on trotting—"lf ever there was a horse which could trot a mile m 2 minutes Mambrino Dudley could before seeing so much stud duty. So it is plain that Ken tacky and General Tracey contain the very besfc strains of American trotting blood. Mares grazed free. Every care taken bu no responsibility. J. C N. GRIGG, Longbeach.

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 Loohfergus Champion. AWAMOA is therefore a horse of great lineage; m fact he is one of the beat bred horses m the world On one side he is sprung from Prince of Wales, and on the other from Lochfergus; and anyone wko pretends to knowledge m these matters understands that these two sire 3 were the most successful stud horses that the world has ever known. Awamoa has beeu a most successful breeder. The colt. Regent was never beaten m 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 '•nac.e to enumerate and comment on all Bribetakers that l<ave sprung from Awamoa. Besides being a great breeder, Ayampa had a good career m the show ring. As' a yearling he took first pri;§e at Oamaru, first at Christchurch, first at Timaru, and Hrst at Dunedin ; as a two-year-old, first at Christ, church and second at Oamaru; as a three year oW, first at Qamaru and champion of the yard $ following year second at Qamaru , and second at Timaru $ and when seven years old was champion at Qamaru. ,]Lt will thus bo 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 stalliou m the district before. Terms—Guarantees, four guineas. 80asojj males as per agreement. Groomage fee ss, payable first service. ( All mares changing hands m any way, first owners will be held liable.
