Will be at, Newmans Stables' every Saturday. King op Qfality ia a dapple bay, rising six years old, bred by Mr R. Gawn, North Taieri. He is a colt of great substance and power, with maoy points to recom mend him to a breeder ; has splendid f eefc 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, has good temper, and sound constitution.. His sire is Lion Khig, by British Lion, Imported by Mr Hugh Kae, from Scotland, by Areyle (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 Dunedin Show as a three-ye»r-old, fir9b at Dunedin 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 m New Z ;aland four times, gaining first, and champion upon each occasion. Her elre was Ivanhoe 2nd (299, SO S B), grand fire Ivanhoe lat (imported ; 113, NZSB). He was gob 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- ment. He was considered by competent judges to be one of the best horses ever I la ded m New Zealand. King of Quality's dam, Qae n of Quality, (608, NZSB) show yard care, 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, Danedin. This career has stamped her as a mare of nnusunl 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, S.B ) King of Quality as a yearling gained first prize ab Taieti show and second at Dunedin. Jt will be seen from the above that King of Quality is descended ftom the purest strains of prize-taking CJydes- riale blood, and cannot fail to imke a name for himself as a sire. Has proved himself m this district as a sure foal getter. Terms : — Guarantee —£4 4i. Season mares, £3 3s. Groomago fee, 53. All mares changiog hand-, first owners held responsible.

SANDEi* &. Sons Euca- lypti Extract. Under the distinguished patronage of His Majesty the King of Italy, as per communica- ion made by the Minister for Foreign Affairs through the Consul-General for Italy, at Melbourne, March 14, 1878. Awarded diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883. j Acknowledged by Medical Clinics and I Universities all over the Globe. There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract the market, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. In order that these crude 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 pei nformation forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we tate :— • It is proved by tests by the Medical Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Schulz, Professor of Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr. Mossier, Director of the Medical Clinics at Greifswald, that only products that are .saturated with oxygen and freed of resinous and other sub&tancos, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the tanative qualities proper to the plant \llcrude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpentinee, whish are abandoned long since as an nternal adicament. These crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible : 1 By their deficiency m pungent odour — which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extract develops most freely through its surplus oxygen. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear- auce being reduced m specific density through the preßenoe of acids. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennates. If these crude oils, 80-called eucalypt extracts, are applied by mistake m cases of oroup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nflamationß, dysentery, etc., the con- sequences are moßt appalling.
