Will be ab Newman's Stables every Saturday. King of Quality is a dapple bay, rising six yea; a old, bred by Mr R. Gawn, North Taleri. He is a colt of great substance and power, with many points to recom mend him to a breeder ; has splendid feeb 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 Kin?, by British Lion, Imported by Mr Hugh Rae, from Scotland, by Argyle (2567 vol vl), 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-yeir-old, first at Dunedin in 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 In New Z :aland four times, gaining first and champion upon each occasion. Her sire was Ivanhoe 2nd (299, SC S B), grand tire Ivanhoe lab (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- ment. He waa considered by competent judges to be one of the best horses ever la ded in New Zealand. King of Quality's dam, Qaen of Quality, (608, $ Z S B) show yard career is so well and favorably known to breeders, that it is needless to go into details ; suffice it to Eay, she haa taken fourteen first prizes and seven champions ; among the others she was champion mare at the Exhibition show, Dunedia. This career has stamped her aa a mare of unusual excellence ; her sire is the far famed Lord Salisbury, who retired from the show * Ing an unbeaten horse. Queen of Quality's dam Jess, by Ivanhoe (imp. ; 113, S.B ) King of O^aality as a yearling gained first prfza at Taieri show and second at Dunedin. Jt will be seen from the above ttut King of Quality is descended from the purest strains of prize-' aking Clydes- lale blood, and cannot fail to make a n^rae for himself aa a sira.
