KING O’ THE VANQUISHERS; rising 4 years, is a beautiful bay with splendid action and fine temper, and has got more bone and hair of the right sort than any other colt of his age in New Zealand. * Pedigree : ' The King was bred by Messrs Fleming and Hedley, out of their famohs brood mare’ Miss M'Oormick, imported from Melbourne. Miss M'Oormick was purt chased by the hte David Nesbitt from M'Cormibk: Bros. ~ Tasmania, and was ' specially selected for her breeding qualities—the correctness of that judgment has now been fully verified.

Casaivelanus is a bright bay, with black: points, standing over 16 bands, and showing immense power and great quality. As a two-year-old ho won two races at Newmarket, beating large fields. Caractacus is now the most fashionable; as well' as the most desirable representation of the Venison blood

Kingston was in every respect bred to stay, -His sire, Venison, proved: himself; a horse of undeniable stoutness, and it is worthy of remark that during his career as a three-year-old he travelled on foot his circuit, which the more modern wonders (Fisherman and RataplariJ aocom-, plished by rail. It is stated npoQ reliable: authority that Venison walked upwards 1 of 900 miles, ran fourteen; and won twelve: times in his three-year-old racing season., . . , Oaraotacua is in every way most ■worthy the notice of breeders'who fancy the Venison and Defence blood (and who could object to the latter especially 1) more particularly as he—as well ar bearing a marked resemblance to his handsome son in other 'respects—has a good temper. . . . He is one of the large stamp, but, like' his sire, |[a nice-sized, level made horse, with plenty of quality and racing points, and most likely to get racehorses.” — Copperthivaite’s Sires of the Present Day.
