Stud. r|tlO Travel Ashburton and surrounding t districts the celebrated thoroughbred horse KINGFISHER. Kingfisher is a dark brown horse standing 16 hands high, and is admitted to bo one of the most powerful thoroughbred horses in the Australasian colonies, and has proved himself a very sura foal getter, as will be seen by the following:— In 1880, in Hawke’s Bay district, Kingfisher served 98 mares, and was successful in getting 92 foals. Further particulars apply to ED. COOKSON, jjAshburton ; 10 725 Or Groom in charge. TjlO Travel this Season in the Ashburton JL district, the Thorough-bred entire Daniel O’Rourke. Daniel O’Kourke was got by Sledmere (a), dam Brunette (a) ; by Tadmor, dam by Hetman Platoft’—Birthday, by Pantaloon— Honoria, by Camel. Sledmere, by Daniel O’Kourke, dam by Sleight-of-Hand —Hampton (brown) mare. Daniel O’Kourke lias 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 produce good racing stock. He is tho 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, VVakanui road, Waterton, North and South of the River, Longbeach, Winslow, Tinwald, and remain in hia box tho end of the week at Me Beecher’s Central Hotel until Monday.

Terms—L4 5s per mare, payable Ist January, 1884. Groomage fee ss, payable on first service. For further particulars apply to th groom in charge. 10 061 R. H. PEARPOICsT. T ) Stand this Season the imported powerful and fashionably bred thoroughbred horse GASSIVEEAUNUS. Bred by Mr G. Slewing in 1809, got by Caractaous, his dam Campanelle by tetockwell—Florence, by Yelocipedi—Margarette, by Actaeon —Snowball, by Prime Minister—Vesta, by Delphini Highflyer. Oaractacus (win er of the Derby in 1862), got by Kingston—Defenceless, by Defence. See stud book for full pedigree. Cassivelanus 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 Howmarket, beating large fields. Oaractacus is now the moat 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 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. . , . Oaractacus 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 I) more particularly as he—as well as bearing a marked resemblance to his hand-' some 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 got racehorses.” — Copperthwaite’s Sires of the Present Day. Sire of various winners and first favorites for the forthcoming Hew Zealand and Canterbury Cup —Envious, Fair Agnes colt; also, sire to Encore,' late winner of theji.-unedin Tally-Ho Steeplechase, Miss King filly, and others too numerous to particularise. Will travel throughout the district, of which notice w.dl be given, and an> further information on application to MR T. QUILL, 10 651 Ashburton.
