Will be ah .Newmans Stables every Saturday. King of Qfality is a dapple bay, rising six years old, bied by Mr R. Gawn, North Tateri. He is a colt of great bubatance and power, with many points to recom mend him to a breeder ; has splendid feefc and paßterns, also great bone, clean and flowing, with nice silky hair— the true badge of a well bred Clydesdale. He is a crime mover, has good temper, and sound constitution. His sire is Lion Km?, by British Lion, imported by Mr Hugh Rae, from Scotland, by Arayle (2567 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-ye*r-old, first at Dunedin m 1894 and 1895, for horse with three of his pro- geny. Lion King's dam Sotch Annie (imported from Scotland, 343, N Z S B), was a mare belonging to an exceedingly favorable strain of blood. She was shown m New Z aland four times, gaining first and champion upon each occasion. Her sire was Ivanhoe 2nd (299, S0 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 known as to need no com- meat. He was considered by competent judges to be one of the best horses ever la ded m New Zealand. King of Quality's dam, Que n of . Quality, (608, J!J Z S B) show yard caret r is so wtll and favorably known to breeders, that It is needless to go into details ; suffice it to say, 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 the far famed Lord Salisbury, who retired from the ahow ring an unbeaten horse. Queen of Quality's dam Jess, by Ivanhoe (imp. ; 113, SB ) King of Quality as a yearling gained first prize at Taieri show and second at Dunedin. it will be seen from the above th it King of Quality is descended from the purest strains of prize-taking Clydes- dale blood, and cannot fail to make a name for himself as a sire. Has proved himself m this district as a sure foal getter. Terms :— Guarantee —£4 4g. Season mares, £3 33. Groomago fee, sj. All mares changing hand?, first owners held responsible.
