Studi',o Travel Ashburton and surrounding districts the celebrated thoroughbred horse Kingfisher is a dark brown horse standing 16 hands high, and is admitted to be one of the most powerful thoroughbred horses in the Australasian colonies, and has proved himself a Very sure foal getter, as will be seen by the following:— In 1880, in Hawke’s Bay district, Kingfisher servod 08 mares, and was successful in getting 92 foals. Further particulars apply to tnO Travel this Season in the Ashburton J. district, the Thorough-bred entire Daniel O’Rourke. Daniel O’Rourke was got by Sledmere (a), dam Brunette (a); by Tadmor, dam by Hetman Platoff—Birthday, by Pantaloon—Honoria, by Camel. Sledmere, by Daniel O’Rourke, dam by fcleight-of-Hand —Hampton (brown) mare. Daniel O’Rourke has been a very good performer on the turf : he has proved himI self such by winning the Christchurch Cup and Derby in 1870. If mated with good mares he can produce good racing stock. He is the sire of Badaworth, Sir George, and others too numerous to particularise. A horse of his description should be well patronised in the district. Daniel will travel the following districts : Kyle, Wakanui road, Waterton, North and South of the River, Longbeach, Winslow, Tinwald, and remain in his box the end of the week at M.* Beecher’s Central Hotel until Monday.

TO Stand this Season the imported powerful and fashionably bred thoroughbred horse CASSIYEEAUNUS, Bred by Mr G. Newing in 1869, got by Caractacus, his dam Oampanelle by otookwell—Florence, by Yelocipedi—Margarette, by Actseon—Snowball, by Prime Minister —Yesta, by Delphini Highflyer. Caractacus (win er of the Derby in 1862), got by Kingston—Defenceless, by Defence. See stud book for full pedigree. Cassivelanua is a bright bay, with black points, standing over 16 hands, and showing immense power and great quality. As a two-year-old he won two races at Newmarket, beating large fields. Caractacus is now the moat fashionable as well as the moat 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 Rataplan) accomplished by rail. It is stated upon reliable authority that Venison walked upwards of 900 miles, ran fourteen, and won twelve times in his three-year-old racing season. . . . Caractacus 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 ?) more particularly as he—as well as bearing a marked resemblance to his handsome son in other respects—has a good temper. . . . He is one of the large KINGFISHER. 10 725 ED. COOKSON, Ashburton ; Or Groom in charge. 10 661 R. H. PEARPOKsT.
