A VISIT TO A STUD FARM.

(No. 3. Contributed).

Very little has been known of Mi Davit as a breeder outside of Clydesdales till lately, and this article would not b« complete without some reference to hi* connection with the breeding of trotting horses ; and with trotting horses ai with Clydesdales, he owes Mi success to the sterling qualities of one mare bred bj himself-Fanny Allen—by Bill Allen (imp), the latter the property of the late Mr Kerr, of Nelson. Fanny Allen's dam was a very fast trotter, owned aod driven for many years by Mr Davie. At four yaars old Fanny Allen was mated with Berlin. Previous to this she was driven by Mr Davie, who broke her in. From the time she was foaled till now she hat never been known to break a trot. Her tremendous stride, great strength and propelling power stamp her as a trotter of tbe first water, and thus able te produce trotters. If Mr Davie had been a sporting man no doubt she might have been given an opportunity of appearing on the tr»tt; ing track. Unfortunately for himself ho is not-, and one of the beit and most fashionably bred mares ever produced In the colony has until her old age practically remained unkown. Had the mare before she went to the stud been allowed to race and win a race or two ib would have enhanced the value of her proge ny almost tenfold, and in this respecb Mr Davia hss scarcely done himself justice. He can, he waver, claim that as regards judgment in breeding this class of horse he can learn nothing from those who profess to be experts, and if he has lost by nob racing the mare he has assuredly made amende by the quantity and quality ©f stock he has bred froir her. Fanny Allen's record is really unique. Befrg now 17 years of age, ehe produced her first foal at five years old, aud is now carrying her thir* teenth foal, snd locks fre;h and fit enough to produce for her owner thirteen more. She is as clem in the legs and as Bound as the day she was foaled, not a sign of blemish of any dr soriptioh, The splendid class of grand flat hard bone she possesses makes one wonder how she inherited It. Truly it must be chiefly from the dam's side, who possessed a very flue strata'of blood. Mr Davie spares no expense In mating his favourite mare with the best trotting sire he can obtain. For several yeara he used Berlin with tatiufaotory results, the union producing such well known trotting sires as Br?zll '- and Honduras (who is now located in Nelson). It was left- to Lexington, who came next to make fame for his dam and also his breeder. Emerson, Texas, and General Tracey, have each got representative!. Mr Davie sold two colts by Fanny Alien in Christchurch, ene sired ly Berlin, the other by Texas. Since then the Berlin colfe, who is therefore* full brother to Lexington, has changed hands for 100 guineas. A four yearWd filly is still at Mr Davie's farm, by General Tracey, and despite numerous tempting offers he has refused to sell her, his intention being to keep her for stud purpo&es. In the paddeck running with the mare ist* be seen a powerful two year old colt) by Emerson, so it will be seen that Mr Davie has used a variety of trotting sires with success. Owing to the favourable impress* ion created by the running of Lexington on the trotting track, overtures have been made to Mr Davie to sell this mare, bob to no purpose. He has decided not to part with her. Several other useful sorts, of all classes which are essential to tht working of a farm such as Mr Davie's were to be seen in dif erenb paddocks, bat M the time at my disposal would not permit of any further examination, I was reloet antly compelled to draw to a close a visit of a most interesting rature, satisfied that as long as we have men of Mr Davie*a stamp to rely upon fora supply of hone flesh those interested may rest assured that no effort or expense will be spared in an endeavour to maintain a high standard of excellence. AH that would be needed then to ensure a continuance would be prices for their stock commensurate with the cost entailed. After accepting the hospitality of Mr Divie~and thanking him for showing me round his horses, I reluctantly took my departure from the farm.

Censorship.

A war correspondent in South Africa, gives an example of how the censorship la exercised there. The following telegram was handed in :—

Heavy Boer attack. Guns rain shell fire on position. Severe losses both yesterday and tc-day. When the telegram reached the news paper office to which it was sent, It read : —

Heavy rain yesterday and to-day.
