ORPHAN BOY is a beautiful dark bay horso, rising seven years, aud stands fully 17 hands high, with splendid feet and pasterns, and good clean fiat bone and is a very heavy horse.

ORPHAN BOY'S g-g-sire, Primus (8897 C.5.8.), gained as a three-year-old second prize at the Glasgow and Ayr open shows. O-g-g-sire, Prince of Wales (673 C.5.8.), won first prize at the H.S. show at Edinburgh in 18(19; second at H.S. show, Dumfries, in 1870; first at H.S. show, Kelso, in 1872; and first at the Royal Manchester i. 1869.

G-dam, Joss, by Lord Salisbury (1205 C.5.8., imp.), who was never beaten in tfco New -id. It is enough to mention Lord Salisbury in any animal's pedigree to stamp them with the hall mark of quality, as he undoubtedly did more, to improve the draught horses of New Zealand than any horso that .ever landed on the shores of tho Dominion. ■ By tho above it will be seen that ORPHAN BOY is full of the very best blood Scotland ever produced He himself has taken a number of prizes, being first as a throo-year-old at Euroa, and first and champion as a four-year-old at the same place. He stood out as a five-year-old to let his stable mate win.' ORPHAN BOY travelled this "district last season, and proved himself highly successful with his mares.
