TO STAND thira Season, and travel the Wakanui, Rakaia, Lauriston, and Ashbur ton Porks Districts^ The PUREBRED CLYDESDALE ENTIRE EMPEROR. 17 mpkbdr is a beautiful bright bay, stands Ii 16 hands 3 inches high, on short legs, with great strength and bone, fine symmetry, and superior 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 Doyleston; his sire, that well-known horse General Gordon. General Gordon has gained six first prizss, three seconds, and three special prizes, for test draught entire in the show yard. General Gordon's dam is Marchioness L, the noted prize-taking mare. In her show yard career she has taken no less than sixteen firs.t 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.

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, NZ Stud Book) imported from Scotland by che Hon Matthew Holmes. Dam, Lena, imported from Scot land, by Luck's All; g.d. Jesste 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 horseß 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 beaten wherever shown. It would occupy too much space to enumerate and comment on al prizetakers thai have sprung from Awamoa Besides being a great breeder, Awamoa had : a good career in the show ring. A% a yearling he took first prize 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 i the yard ; following year second at Oamaru i and second at Timaru { and when seven years ; old was champion at Oamasu. Jt will thus ■ be seen that Awamoa has been successful in i 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 maces changing hands in.any way, first owners will be held liable. For particulars apply to SAMUEL TIERNEY, Proprietor, 9fls4 Or in charge.

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.
