He is a oolt of great substaDce and power, with many points to recommend him to a breeder, has splendid feet and pasterns, a.so great bone, clean and flowing with >ice silky hair—the true badge of a well bred Clydesdale, He is a prime mover, ha* good temper, and sound con stitution. His sire is Lios King, by British Lion, imported by Mr Hugh R;<e, from Scotland, by Argyle (?567 vol. vl.), dam Darling by Prince of Wales, (673, vol. i), grand dam Maggie, by Lockend Champion (448, vol. i). I ion King was first at Dunedin Show as a three-year-old, first at Dunedin m 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.

This career has stamped her a=i 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.) J^ing of Quality as a yearling gained firßt prije at Tajeri Show, atij second at Dunedin, and as a thrpe-year-old 6>st at Taieri and second at Dunedin. |t will be seen from the above that King of Quality is descended from t^e purest strafe of priae-taking Clydesdale blood, and cannot fail to make a name for himself as a eire, Terms : £4 4s; £2 2s at end of season, balance when mare proves m foal.
