Business Notices. NEWS. Grand Distribution of MONEY PRIZES will take place similar to the Hamburg principle of drawing; nothing of the kind has ever been introduced in New Zealand, and the system that will be carried out in this and future drawings will far surpass the chances of getting a Prize than in any of the Horse Consultations, as people whohave frequently tried in the numerous Horse Consultations know to their sorrow. A trial in this Drawing may convince the moat sceptical, as the drawing will take place as soon as the tickets are applied for, or not later than the 28th FEBRUARY, This Grand Drawing will consist of 160 Money Prizes, amounting in all to £2,000 subscribed by 4,000 members at 10s each. The various Money Prizes will be dis- | tributed as follows : 1 £3OO prize; 1 £l5O prize; 1 £IOO prize; 2 £SO prizes; 5 £2O prizes; 100 LlO prizes; 50 £5 prizes. The grand principle of this and future drawings will be that any investor purchaaeing 25 Tickets must secure a prize, in fact guaranteed one as a prize will be drawn from the 160 Prizes to every 25 numbers up to the 4,000. Any investor of £1 the chances will only be 12 to 1 against him, and any investor of £2 will only be 6 to 1 against him getting a priz>, and the head prize or any other may be drawn by any invest >r of 10s. This drawing is on tho most novel, and will be conducted on the fairest principles possible, and investors will find it to their advantage to speculate a trifle in this drawing in preference to any of the numerous Horse Consultations where the chances vary from 300 to 1 to 20,000 to 1 against getting a prize at all. The drawing will take place under the immediate supervision of six gentlemen and two youths will draw the numbers and prizes, and the prizes will all be paid over within twenty four hours after the drawing, or immediately after the winning numbers are forwarded, deducting the usual ten per cent for working expenses. Investors should apply at once, and all investors only may know after Jthe drawing, who the prizetakera are, &by forwarding a stamped envelope already addressed, thus insuring perfect faith and fidelity ro all investors.

These drawings for {£2,000 are to take place every two months, this present o.ie to close on the 28th February, and the following one to open on the Ist March.

Stud. f |lO Travel Ashburton and surrounding J_ ; 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, (Ashburton ; 10 725 Or Groom in charge.

TO Travel this Season in the Ashburton 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 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 produce 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. Daniel will travel the following districts:—!\yle, 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. Terms—L4 5s per mare, payable Ist January, 1884. Groomage fee ss, payable on first service. Fdr further particulars apply t ) th groom in charge. 10 661 R. H. PEARPOINT. TO Stand this Season the imported powerful and fashionably bred thoroughbred horse CASSIVEDAUNUS. Bred by Mr G. Newing in 1869, got by Caractacus, his dam Gampanelle by Stockwell—Florence, by Velooipedi—Margarette, by Aotsaon—Snowball, by Prime Minister —Vesta, by Delphini Highflyer. Caractacus (win or 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 Newmarket, beating large fields. Caractacus is now the moat 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 1) 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.” — Copperihwaite’s Sires of the Present Day.
