Will be ab Newmans Stables every Saturday. Kino op Quality is a dapple bay, rising six years old, bred by Mr R. Gawn, North Taieri. He is a colt of great .üb-t&nce and power, with mary points to recom mend him to a breeder ; has splendid feeb and pasterns, also greab bone, clean and flowing, with nice silky hair— the true badge of a well bred Oiydesdale. He is a prime mover, has good temper, and sound constitution. His Bire is Lion King, by British Lion, imported by Mr Hugh Rae, from Scotland, by Argyle (2567 vol vl), dam Darling, by Prince of Wales (673, vol 1). grand dam Maggie, by Lochend Champion (448, vol i). Lion King was first at Dnnedin Show as a three-year-old, first at Dunedin In 1894 and 1895, for horse with three of his pro* geny. Lion King's dam Sootch Annie (imported {torn Scotland, 343, NZS B), was*- mare belonging to an exceedingly favorable strain of blood.

King of Quality's dam, 'Que n of Quality, (608, N Z S B) show yard career is so well and favorably known to breeders, that it is needlesß to go into details ; suffice ib to say, she has taken fourteen first prizes and seven champions ; among the others she was champion mare ab the Exhibition show, Dunedin.

Queen of Quality's dam Jess, by Ivanhoe (imp. ; 113, S.B ) King of Quality as a yearling gained first prize ab Taieri show and second at Dnnedin. It will be seen from the above thab King of Quality is descended fron* the purest strains of prize-taking Olydes- iale blood, and cannot fail to make a name for himself as a siro.
