mO Travel Ashburton and surrounding 1 districts the celebrated thoroughbred horse KINGFISHER. Kingfisher is a dark brown horse standing 16 hands high, and is admitted to be one of the moat 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 98 mares, and was successful in getting 92 foals. Further particulars apply to ED. COOKSON, jAshburton ; 10 725 Or Groom in charge. mO Travel this Season in the Ashburton X 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 1876, if mated with good mares he can ptoduce good racing stock. He is the sire of Badsworth, Sir George, and others too numerous to particularise. A horse of his description should be well patronised in the district.

TA Stand this Season the imported powerful and fashionably bred thoroughbred horse GASSIVELAUNUS, Bred by Mr G. Hewing in 1869, got by Caractacus, his dam Campanelle by i'tockwell —Florence, by Velocipedi—Margarette, by Actseon—Snowball, by Prime Minister—Vesta, by Delphmi Highflyer. Caractacus (win er of the Derby in 1862), got by Kingston—Defenceless, by Defence. See stud book for full pedigree. Caasivelanus 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 most fashionable as well 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 throe-year-old he travelled on foot his circuit, which the more modern .venders (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 largo stamp, but, like his sire, a nice-sized, level made horse, with plenty of quality and racing points, and most likely to get racehorses.”— Copperthwaite’s Sires of the Present Day. Sira of various winners and first favorites for the forthcoming New Zealand and Canterbury Cup—Bnvious, lair Agnes colt ; also, sire to Encore, late winner of thejuunedin Tally-Ho Steeplechase, Miss King filly, and others too numerous to particularise.
