He is a colt of great substance and power, with raary points to recom mend him to a breeder ; has splendid feeb and pasterns, also great bone, clean and flowing, with nice silky hair— the true badge of a well bred Clydesdale. He is a prime mover, haß good temper, and sound constitution. His sire is Lion King, by British Lion, imported by Mr Hugh Rae, from Scotland, by Arsyle (25&7 vol vi), dam Darling, by Prince of Wales (673, vol i), grand dam Maggie, by Lochend Champion (448, vol i). Lion King was first at Dnnedin Show as a three-year-old, fir9t at Dunsdin m 1894 and 1895, for horse with three of his pro- geny. Lion King's dam Scotch Annie (imported from Scotland, 343, N Z S B), was a mare belonging to an exceedingly favorable strain of blood. She was shown In New Z. -aland four times, gaining first and champion upon each occasion. Her sire was Ivanhoe 2nd (299, SC S B), grand tire Ivanhoe Ist (imported ; 113, NZ S B). He was got by the great Sir Walter Scott, whose breeding needs no comment. Lion King's sire, British Lion, is so favorably kuowu as to need no com- ment. Ha was considered by competent judges to be one of the best horses ever la d.'d m New Zealand. King of Qiality's dim, Que n of Quality, (608, N Z S B) show yard career j is so well and favorably known to breeders, that it is needless to go into details ; suffice it to cay, she has taken fourteen 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 tho far famed Lord Salisbury, who retirod from the show Ang an unbeaten horse. Qaeen of Quality's dam Jess, by Ivanhoe (imp. ; 113, S.B ) King of Qcwlity as a yearling gained first pHzo at Taieti show and second at Dunedin. It will be seeu from the above th>t King of Q idlify is descended from tho purest strains of juizc-'aklng Oydes- -iale blood, and cannot fail to make a ntme for himself as a sire.
