The Thoroughbred Horse Macilleathean ILL stand in Aslibuiton and travo the surrounding districts this season. He is a bright brown or black horse, stands 10 hands high, got by English Tim Wbiffl r, out of Flying Scud. Tim Whither was by Van Galen, out of Sybil, |by Ugl;» Buck, out of Sylph, by Titlia da-puta, Van Galen being by Van Tromp, out of Little Casino, by Inheritor. Flying Scud was a dark bay mare, bred in Victoria by Mr J. Harper in 1865, got by Fisherman, her dam being Jeanette by Little John, Whilhelmina by Romeo, Moss Rose by Emigrant, the Driver mare (For extended pedigree see English and Australian stud b' oks ) Tim Wbiflier was scarcely ever beaten in England. The dam of this horse being by Fisherman shows his grand blood, as a study of the stud book will show that Mu-ket’s great success has been from Australian bred mares, for the descendants of the grand old Fisherman, viz., MartiniHenry, Nordenfelt, and Trenton, are all descended from Fisherman on the dams side. Terms: One Mare, £3. A reduction will be made for two or more from one owner. Qroomage fee, Bs, payab'e on first service 9633 GEO APPLETON, Proprietor, Ashburton,
