fjnO Travel Ashburton and surrounding JL districts tho celebrated thoroughbred horse KINGFISHER. Kingfisher is a dark brown horse standing 1(1 hands high, and is admitted to be one of tho most powerful thoroughbred horses in the Australasian colonies, and has proved himself a very sure foal getter, as will bo seen by the following:— In 1880, in Hawke's Bay district, Kingfisher served 08 mares, and was successful in getting 92 foals. Further particulars apply to ED. COOKbON, ijAshburton ; 10 725 Or Groom in charge. THO Travel this Season in the Ashburton JL district, the Thorough-bred entire Daniel O’Rourke.

Sledmere, by Daniel O’Rourke, dam by Sleight-of-Hand —Hampton (brown) mare. Daniel O’Rourke has been a very good performer on the turf : he has proved himself such by winning the Christchurch Cup and Derby in 187 G. If mated with good mares he can produce good racing stock. He is the sire of Badsworth, Bir George, and others too numerous to particularise. A horse of his description should be well patronised in the district.

TOJStand this Season the imported powerful and fashionably bred thoroughbred horse CASSIVEEAUNUS, Bred by Mr G. iSewing in 1860, got by Caractacua, his dam Oampanello by .'tockwell—Florence, by Velocipedi—Margarotte, by Actscon—Snowball, by Prime Minister—Vesta, by Delphmi Highflyer. Oaractaous (win er of cha Derby in 1862), got by Kingston—Defenceless, by Defence. Sea stud book for full pedigree. Oassivelanus 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, Oaractaous is now the most fashionable as wq)l as the most desirable representation of the Venison blood Kings on 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 stamp, but, like his sire, a nice-sized, level made horse, with plenty of quality and racing points, and most likely to get racehorses.’’— Cojpperthwaite’s Sires of the Present Day.
