KING OF QUALITY is a dapple bay, rising five years old, bred by Mr R. Gawn, North Taieri. He is a colt of great substance and power, with many points to recommend him to a breeder, has splendid feet and p-isterns, 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 stitution.



Hia sire is Lion King, by British Lion, imported by Mr Hugh Rae, 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). Lion King was first at Dunedin Show as a three-year-old first at Dunedin in 1894 and 1895, for horse with three of his progeny. Lion King's dam Scotch Annie (imported from Scotland; 343, N.Z.5.8.) was a mare belonging to an exceedingly favorable strain of blood. She was shown in New Zealand four times, gaining first and champiuw upon each occasion. Her sire was Ivanhoe 2nd (299, 5.C.5.8.); grand sire Ivanhoe Ist (imported ; 113, N.Z.5.8.) He was got by the great Sir Walter Scott, whose breeding needs nocomment. Lion King's sire, British Lion, is so favorably known as to need no comment. He was considered by competent judges to be one of the best horses ever landed in New Zealand. J



Cream Silk Stripes aud shot effects, light and dark, for blousings. Black and colored Serges, Sicilians and Grenadines. W The Dress stock is the stock of the place. Embroidered Cashmere and Cotton Hose. Belts, Beltings and Belt Clasps in endless variety.

Ladies' Bows and Ties, Fronts, Ribbons, and Frillings. One of the largest and choicest assortments of new Gossamers and Veilings. Gentleman's Ties, Scarves, Hats, Collars, Handkerchiefs, Tennis Shirts in the latest styles* W. H.IOLLIER, "THE CORNER" '



: King of Quality's dam, Queen of Quality, (608, N Z. 5.8.) show yard career is so well and favorably known to breeders, that it is needless to go into details; suffice it to say, she has taken 14 first prizes and seven champions; among the others she was champion mare at the Exhibition Show, Dunedin. This career has stamped her as a mare of unusual excellence; her sire is the far-famed Lord Salisbury, who retired from the show ring an unbeaten horse. Queen of Quality's dam Jess, by Ivanhoe (imp. ; 113, 5.8.) 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. It will be seen from the above that King of Quality is descended from the purest strains of prize-taking Clydesdale blood, and cannot fail to make a name for himself as a sire.
