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 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 Tost successful stud horses that the world has ever known. Awamoa has been a most breeder. The colt Regent was never beaten in the ring, and lowered the colora of the famous British L lO n when only two years old, and was sold at 350 guineas The fitly Nonpareil 11. has never been beiten wherever shown. It would pecupy too much snace to enumerate and comment on al prizetakers that have sprung from Awamoa Besides being a great breeder, Awamoa baa a eood career in the show ring.

It will tl>u« 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 setter: hence his value as a sire, and breeders should not miss such a ohauce, as they have not had such a stallion in the district before.
