Will be at JSewmau's Stables every Saturday. H King of Quality is a dapple bay, rising bi sir years old, bred by Mr R. Gawn, North Taleri. He is a colt of great Bubstance j* and power, with many points to recom , mend him to a breeder ; haa splendid f eeb q and paaterns, alao great bone, clean and q flowing, with nice silky hair— the true 0 badge of a well bred Clydesdale. He is t a prime mover, has good temper, and o sound constitution. h His sire is Lion King, by British Lion, imported by Mr Hugh Hae, from n Scotland, by Arcyle (2557 vol vi), dam I Darling, by Prince of Wales (673, vol i). c grand dam Maggie, by Lochend Champion , (448, vol i). ; Lion King was first at Dunedin Show as c a three-yeir-old, first 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 ' Bire was Ivanhoe 2nd (299, SO S B), grand tire Ivanhoe lab (imported ; 113, NZ S B). He was got by the great Sir Waiter Scott, whose breeding needs no \ 1 comment. Lion King's sire, British Lion, 3 is so favorably known as to need no com- ment. He was considered by competent I judges to be one of the best horses ever la ded m New Zealand. ' King of Qaality's dam, Qae n of ® Quality, (608, NZ8B) show yard caret r is so well and favorably known to breeders, that it is needless to go into details ; I suffice it to cay, she has taken fourteen ' first prizes and seven champions ; among the others she was champion mare at the 5 Exhibition show, Dunedin. This career .i has stamped her as a mare of nnusual excellence ; her sire is the far famed Lord Salisbury, who retired from the show ,_ ring an unbeaten horse. Qaeen of Quality's j dam Jess, by Ivanhoe (imp. ; 113, S.B ) King of Quality as a yearling gained )r first prize at Taieri show and second at Dunedin. it will be seen from the above th-tt King of Quality Is descended from the purest strains of prize-iaklng Clydes- ' Hale blood, and cannot fail to make a niine for himself as a sire. Has proved himself m this district as a sure foal getter. — Terms: — Guarantee —£4 4s. Season oq mares, £3 3s. Groomage fee, hi. All mares changing hand-, first owners held responsible.

Under the distinguished patronage of His Majesty the King of Italy, as per communioa- .ion made by the Minister for Foreign Affairs through the Conaul-General for Italy, at Melbourne, March 14, 1878.

In order that thette crude oils may not be taken, OUB PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI -| EXTRACT, whioh is recognised by the J medical division of the Prussian Government 8 i be of perfectly pure origin, as per ,j nformation forwarded to ua through the Consul »t Melbourne, Maroh 2, 1878, we It is proved by teats by the Medical Clinics . of the Universities at Bonn and Greifawald, . Prussia, and reported by Dr. Sohulz.Professor of Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr; \ Mossier, Director of the Medical Clinics at < Greifswald, that only products that are 1 •saturated with oxygen and freed of resinous and other substanoos, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the vanative qualities proper to the plant \U crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extraots Are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpentinee, which . are abandoned lonp .since as an nternal udicament. These crude oils, or so called . Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible ; ' 1 By their deficiency m pungent odour — whioh our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extraot develops most freely through its surplus oxygen. By their alooholio thin and mobile appear* '' anco being reduced m specific density through the presence of acids. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennateß. If these crude oils, 80-called eucalypt extraots, are applied by mistako m cases of oroup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nflamations, dysentery, etc., the con- sequences are most appalling.
