He was bred by "W Holly, Esq., of Christchurch, and is by Lofty out I of Belle, two of the greatest Prize takers in New Zealand, as the perusal of the followingVill show :— j LOFTY'S PEDIGREE LOFT A* was bred by Mr Vallance of Great I Hill, Lanarkshire, Scotland; his sire, C.ydesdale j Tom, in 1859, at the Lanarkshire Farmer's j Society's Show of Entires, held at Hamilton i gained the premium of £10; his dam in 1855 at the Avondale Farmers Society's Show, gained j the first prize for draught mares in 1S61; at the ; same show, with Lofty at foot, gained the first ; prize for brood mares.

He has taken first prizes every time he \ has been shown in Scotland, with one exception, | when he stood second to all Scotland at the i Highland Agricultural Society's Show, held at Kelso. He gained three first prizes in succession ' at Oamaru, 1866-7-8, and was awarded the first ; prize, a Gold Medal, at Dunedin, in .January, : 1569: first prize, a Gold Medal, at Tokomairiro, in December, 1569; first prize at the Taieri, in ; December, ISG9 ; first prize at Christchurch, in November, 1.70; and first prize at Soutkbridge, in January, 1871; first prize at Christchurch, in November, 1871; first prize at Leithfield; and first prize at Wanganui, iv 1872-3-4-5-6, beating at the advanced age of 17 years, eight noted pr_:e takers, amongst them the celebrated Lord Lome, a horse valued at 800 guineas. LOFTY HAS NEVER BEEN BEATEN BY ANY HORSE IN NEW ZEALA.ND. BELLE'S" PEDIGREE. CHAMPION'S dam, named Belle, was bred "oy Mr Robert Stephenson, East Taieri, Otago, and she has taken 12 first prizes before leaving that province, viz., first prize, when 1-year old, ISOS ; first prize at the Taieri, and first prize at Dunedin, when 2-years old, 1866 ; two first prize 3 at the Taieri, and two first -prizes at Tokomairiro, and first prize at Dunedin, when 3-years old, 1637 ; one first prize at the Taieri, and two first prizes at Tokomairiro, when 4-years old, 1868; one first prize at the. Taieri, when 5-years old, ! 1869 : and she has taken .hree first prizes since ' she came to Canterbury, viz., first at Christ church when sis years old, 1870; first at Christ i church when 7-years 01->, 1871; first at j Christchurch when S - years old, 1572; l showing against imported mares from Victoria ! and Scotland; and first prize as brood mare at ,; Dunedin, 1876. She likewise gained first prize \as the best mare of all classes. At the I same show a silver cup valued £30, com- I peting against mares from Victoria. New South j Wales, and the mother kingdom. Belle, the | dam of Champion, has taken over 22 prizes in j Dunedin and Canterbury, all first class, and is i at the present day the best mare in New Zea ] land. Belle is by the well-known prize horse I John Blair's Champion, imported from Scotland [ to Otago; and Belle's dam Duchess, also a first ; prize mare, was bred by Dr Wilmer, Longford, Tasmania, out of a prize imported mare, and by , an imported Stallion from Scotland. Duchess ! was bought by Mr Robert Stevenson, of Otago, for the. sum of £150, being the best mare in Tas -1 mania. Duchess gained first prize at Longford, Tasmania, when 5 years old, and second at East Tiera, Otago, being then 15 years old; her own daughter Belle, the dam of Champion, gaining first prize. Duchess is the dam of the following celebrated prize takers—Surprise, who took first prize at Dunedin two years in succession; Belle, champion mare of the colony; likewise the cele bratedJLord Glasgow, a most successful prize taker ; Blair Athol, now in Auckland, and the renowned prize mares Mat-tie and Effie Deans, sold last season at the hammer to Mr Kitchen, of Level Flat, Otago. for the sums of £175 and £135 respectively. The above will show that Champion is bred from the best and purest Clydesdale stock that has ever been imported to the Colonies. Champion gained first prize last season at the Aucki and Agricultural Society's . Show, where, as a 3-year old, he competed j against all ages, and I may remark to breeders, ' it would be well, while opportunity offers, to abandon the too numerous baser strains (I mean I mongrels) for the more refined and unalloyed metal, for as you sow you reap. I " I hereby guarantee the within to be a true I pedigree of my 3-year old colt Champion.-1 i also guarantee the said colt to be agoodcoverer j and sure foal-getter, he having served a few i mares last season, all of which nave proved in j foal.
