Will be ab Newmans Stables every Saturday. Kino of Quality is a dapple bay, rising six years o?d, bred by Mr R. Gawn, North Taieri. He is a colt of great substance and power, with mary points to recom- mend him to a breeder ; has splendid feet and paßterns, 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 constitution. His sire is Lion King, by British Lion, imported by Mr Hugh Rae, from Scotland, by Areyle (2557 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 Dunedin Show as a three-year-old, first at Dunedin m 1894 and 1895, for horse with three of his pro- geny. Lion Kirg's dam Scotch Annie (imported from Scotland, 343, N Z S B), was a mare belonging to $n exceedingly favorable strain ofblood, She was shown m New Zoaland four times, gaining first and champion upon each occasion. Her tire was Ivanhoe 2nd (299, SC S B), grand n^e Ivanhoe Ist (imported ; 113^ NZ S B). So was get by the great Sir Walter Scott, whose breeding needs no comment. Lion Ring's sire, British L;on, is so favorably known as to need no com- ment. 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, N Z S B) ahow yard care* r is so well 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 j among the others she was champion mare at the Exhibition show, Dunedin. This career has stamped her as a mare of unusual excellence j 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, S.B ) Jpng of Quality as a yearling gained first prige ab Tajei; show and second at Dunedia. It will be seen from the above th*t King of Quality ia descended from the purest strains of prize-faking C'ydes- Hale blood, and cannot fail to make a name for himself as a sir a. Has proved himself m th:s disti-fob as a sure foal getter. Terms :— Guarantee —£4 4s. Season mares, £3 3s. Groomago fee, ss. All mares changing hand-, first owners held responsible.

S__JNX>l_ii.« &, sous Euca- lypti jEsctrjxet. Under the distinguished patronage of His Majesty the King of Italy, as per communica- ion made by the Minister for Foreign Affairs through the Conßul-General for Italy, at Melbourne, March 14, 1878. Awarded diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883. Acknowledged by Medical Clinics and Universities all over the Globe. There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract the market, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oilß. In order that these c: ude oils may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI EXTRACT, which is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government be of perfectly pure origin, as per uformation forwarded to us through the Consul at t March 2, 1878, we tate :— It is proved by tests by the Medioal Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Schulz, Professor of Parmaeology, at Bon, and Professor D« Mossier, Director of the Medical Clinics at Greifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of resinous and other Bubßtancos, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the nanative qualities proper to the plant Ml crude oils, or bo called Eucalypti Extracts are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpentines, which are abandoned long since as an nternal adicament. These crude oils, or bo called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible : 1 By their deficiency m pungent odour — which our product, the only genuine Euoalypti Extract develops most freely through its surplus oxygen. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear* ance being reduced m specific density through the presence of acids. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennates. If these crude oils, ao-called euoalypt extraots, are applied by mistake ia oases of croup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nflamations, dysentery, etc, the con- sequences are most appalling.
