He is a colt of great substance and power, with many points to recommend him to a breeder, has splendid feet and pisterns, also great bone, clean and flowing with nice silky hair—the true badge of a well bred Clydesdale. He is a prime mover, has good temper, and sound con- i atitution. j His sire is Lion King, by British Lion, imported by Mr Hugh Kae, from Scotland, by Argyle (2567 vol. vi.), dam Darling by Prince of Wales, (673, vol. i), grand dam Maggie, by Lockend Champion (448, vol. i).

King of Quality as a yearling gained first prize at Taieri Show, and second at Dunedin, and as a three-year-old first at Taieri and second at Dunedin.
