SIRES OF THE SEASON. BEZONIAN. ; "Ono of tho bestJooking, ■ and certainly ono of the most fa&hionnbly-bred siros to bo-at tie e«rvic« of 'breeders this Mason.' is tho im--port*d horeo Bfcouitm, who is to • stand at the "Woikuiao Stud. On tho. English turf Bezocian proved liirowlf a brilliant .galloper, aod; ; in ' addition to, winning : tho, Keniptou Breeders' Po'al: Plate ; hq'-ran; second in'the Two Thousand- Guinea®, fourth • in' the Derby,- and' was placed in a -number of other big races. He has thus greater to'' classic form than any bono imported -. to Nw : Zea-' land; in recent years, and his pedigree will stand the closest sci-utiny. . 5 Ho is by.'Velas-: quez (winner of over £26,00 P in stakes) from 1 Ga,s (dam of the Derby winner, : Cicero), bolongs' to the No. : (1); family, • and 'represents the' most .fashionable' strain_ in; England- at' tho present time. His strain is practically now to these parts,: and Jie should mate snc-CP-ssfully with all tho leading lines in the dominion., ... •• ! ACHILLES. ' ' It .is announced iliai- a'limited;:riumber,of approved mares will bo taken to Achillea this season. Achillea " a beautifully-proportioned

horse, .standing slightly over sixteen hands, and for bono, power, and range there is not his superior in New Zealand. His performances on the racing track arc well known, •and perhaps it will be enough to say that ho proved himself a elmrnpion in' each of the six seasons that ho raced, won over all distances,, and. secured oyer £0000 ,in-, stakes. And from his protracted racing ■ career he emerged , with a clean sot of . legs, and v/itli his constitution unimpaired. As has been previously noted, his stock .are remarkably promising, and everything points to his proving a most successful sire.
