Touchstone by Camel, Banter by Master Henry, Boadicea by Alexander, Brunette by Amaranthus—Mayfly by Match cm —Camel by Whalebone, out of Sclim marc—Maiden by Sir Peter—Phenomenon. Pacific Avas imported from England, and trot the celebrated performers Orlando, Nebula, Glengarry, Satellite (the fastest horse foaled iv the Southern Hemisphere), i Moonshine, Moss Rose, Dundee, Resolution, Hailstorm, and Rangipo. Pohokura is also fortunate on the dam's side, for Young Plover, the sire of Poliokura's dam, was not only a first-class race- j horse, but was most successful at the stud, I as all his progeny Avere clippers under heavy Avcights—bo the distance six furlongs j or three miles. Pohokura's dam avus half-sister to that grand mare Deception, the best mare that ever trod the Ncav Zealand turf—she ran fifth in the Champion Race in Sydney, in 18G0, iv a large field, three days after landing from New Zealand, Villotte (dam of Pohokura) raced with great success as a three-year-old, but Avas early put to the stud, and became the dam of scA-eral well-knoAvn winners. Pohokura promised to be a great performer, both on the flat and over fences, but his racing career Avas unfortunately cut short by an accident which, though it deprives the turf of Avhat bid fair to be one of the grandest performers in the colony, Avill prove a boon to breeders desirous of producing racers, steeplechasers, or excellent Aveiglit-carrying hacks. He is a beautiful dark-brown (almost black) with black points, 8 years, stands 15 hands 3 \ inches high, his whole contour being handsome, powerful, and racing-like, and in his veins runs blood of the most patrician quality, tracing back to the grand Touchstone fountain, Avhosc deserved praise avo should never cease to sing. " Touchstone—the renowned "founder of a line of kings"—aa-lio avus directly descended on both sides by Eclipse —through AVhalcbone, AVaxy, and Pot-8-os on the side of his siro (Camel), and through Master Henry, Orville, Beningbrough, and King Fergus on the side of his dam (Banter), thus "tracing back in direct lines to both tho Darlcy and Godolphin Barbs. The Avinuings of the stock of his great progenitors, Eclipse and Eniilus, were surpassed by Touchstone. In twenty years, between 1811 and ISGO, he got 323 Avinners of upwards of 700 races."

TO STAND THIS SEASON AT TARADALE. $&%*&3F*(tes??i TheThoroughbrcd Horse — §|[Wlt c m p l c t ° Ni Templeton Avas bred by Mr. Murtagh, of HaAvke's Bay. He is a dark bay, Avith black points. He is three years old, stands 15 hands 2 inches high, and possesses all the essential qualifications of a sire, namely, good constitution, temper, substance, strength, quality, and vigor. He is admirably adapted for getting weight carriers, coach horses, as well as racehorses, as he surpasses everything yet seen in New Zealand for size and strength, combined Avith the best blood that ever floAvcd in a horse's veins. He is by Danebury, out of Phoenix. Danebury is by the far-famed Traducer, dam Ada, Avinner of the Canterbury Derby, by St. Auburyn, sire of Tui Tui, Harakeke, and dams of Kakapo, Karara, Perfume, Ariel, ko., grand dam Princess by Glausus, sire by Diana, dam of that Avonderful mare Mussidora, Avho produced the folloAving horses: —Miss Jessie, Avinner of Victorian Derby ; Belphegor, Sea Spray, Avinner of the V.R.C. and S.A.J. C. St. Ledger; Brasis,* Avinner of V.R.C. Derby, Oaks, and Melbourne Cup ; South Hamilton, winner of V.R.C. Three-year-old Stakes. It is sufficient to mention the name of Traducer, as he got the best horses ever bred in Ncav Zealand, namely, Lurline, Calumny, Le Loup, Fish-hook, Tcmpleton, Maritana, Bribery, Te AVhetumarania, Black Prince, Sir Modreil and a host of others too numerous to mention. Ada's dam Princes is also dam of Glaukos, Potentate, Symphony, dam of Lacenfeed-Casandra, dam of Opera, Avinner of the Canterbury Derby and dam of that good old horso Tambourine. Coupled Avith tho above Danebury, sire of Templeton, has been a great performer on the turf, having beaten the best horses which New Zealand could then produce.
