GlO Travel Ashburton and surrounding districts the celebrated thoroughbred horse KINGFISHER. 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 served 98 mares, and was successful in getting 92 foals.. Further particulars apply to ED. COOKSON, DAshburtoh ; 10 725 Or Groom in charge. TO Travel this Season in the Ashburton X district, the Thorough-bred entire Daniel O’Rourke.

Daniel O’Rourke was got by Siedmere (a), dam Brunette (a) ; by Tadmor, dam by Hetman Platoff—Birthday, by Pantaloon—Bonoria, by Camel. Siedmere, by Daniel O Rourke, dam by Sleight-of-Hand —Hampton (brown), mare. Daniel O’Rourke 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 the sire of Badsworth, Sir George, and others too numerous to particularise. A horse of his description should bo well patronised in the district. Daniel will travel the following districts ; l\ylo, Wakanui road, Waterton, North and South of the River, Longboach, Winslow, Tinwald, and remain in his box the end of the week at M: Beecher’r. Central Hotel until Monday. Terms—L4 5a per mare, payable Ist January, 1884. Groomage foe ss, payable on first service. For farther particulars apply ti t'l groom in charge. 10 661 R. H. PEARPOINT. T) Stand this Season the imported powerful and fashionably bred thoroughbred horse CASSIYELAUNUS, Bred by Mr G. Newing in 1869, got by Caractacus, his data Oampanelle by Stockwell—Florence, by Velocipedi—Margarette, by Actseon—Snowball, by Prime Minister—Vesta, by Delphini Highflyer. Caractacus (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 bands, 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 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 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. Sire of various winners and first favorites for the forthcoming New Zealand and Canterbury Cop -Envious, hair Agues colt; also, siro to Encore, late winner of thejbunedin Tally-Ho Steeplechase, Miss King filly, and others too numerous to particularise. • Will travel throughout the district, of which notice will be given, and an} further information on application to MR T. QUILL, 10 661 Ashburton.
