He is a colt of great substance «J and power, with mary points to reoom- vr 3 mend him to a breeder ; has splendid feet and pasterns, also gre*t bone, clean and flowing, wiih ntee 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 q^ (448, vol i). Lion King was first at Dunedin Show as a three-yeir-old, firsb at Dunedin m 1894 and 1895, for horse with three of his pro- 1 geny. Lion King's dam Scotch Annie (imported from Scotland, 343, NZSB), was a mare belonging to an exceedingly favorable strain of blood. She was shown m New Z aland four times, gaining first -j-, and champion upon each occasion. Her Jl elre was Ivanhoe 2nd (299, S0 S B), a pr grand tire Ivanhoe Ist (imported ; 113, NZSB). 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- ment. He was considered by competent j judges to be one of the best h rses ever p r ia did m New Zealand. p U King of Quality's dam, Quen of an( Qaality, (608, NZSB) show yard career ia so well and favorably known to breeders, that it ia needless to go into details ; suffice it to say, she has taken fourteen Cfa 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 unusual excellence ; her eire 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 Qaality as a yearling gained first priza ab Taieri show and 'second at Dunedin. It will be aeen from the above th«.t King of Qaality Is descended from the purest strains of priz^-'aking Clydes- "N 'lalo blood, and cannot fail to make a n.me for himself as a sire.
