MURTAGH, Proprietor. ToIiTAND THIS SEASON AT KAIKORA BRIDGE, Mk \ rnHEThoroughMs™ il\ -*- bred Horse ST " PATRICK. *fT ,:-.._ f| st - Patrick was bred by P. J. Murtagh, of Hawke's Bay. He is a dark golden chesnut, standing 10 hands 2 inches high, and possesses all the essential qualifications of a sire, viz., good constitution, substance, temper, conformation, and vigour. He is admirably adapted to get good useful stock, as Avell as race horses. He is considered by competent judges to bo one of the grandest horses ever seen in Noav Zealand. St. Patrick is iioav G years old, is by the celebrated horse The Premier, by Malton (imported) out of Revoke, mother of Trump Card, one of the grandest horses e\'cr bred in Ncav Zealand. As a two-year-old he won tbe Champagne Stakes at Canterbury, after Avhich ho was purchased by Mr Stead for 1500 guineas. As a three-year-old he carried off three Derbys—Canterbury, AVellington, and Dunedin. At Canterbury ho ran second for the Cup, Aveight for age, and on the folloAving day avoii the Christchurch Plate. At AVellington, after Avinning the Derby, ran Lara to a neck for the Cup, giving him two years and Gibs. Aftenvurds in Dunedin ho avoii the Publicans' Purse Handicap, defeating Isaac AValton over his favorite distance, ghlng him two years and 71bs. At the same meeting- he cantered home in front of the Avonderful horse Tcmpleton for the Queen's Plate. lor further performance see Turf Register. The Premier has also been a grand performer on the turf, having avoii the AVairarapa Stakes, three miles, beating Koarria, Fishhook, and eight others. He also Avon the Empire Plate at AVellington, beating a large field ; but, like St. Patrick, he was put to tho stud too soon Avithout giving him a chance to distinguish himself as his family has done before and after him. St. Patrick _is ono of the handsomest horses ever bred in Ncav Zealand. He is thoroughly sound, has a beautiful head and muscular neck let into slanting shoulders, short back, grand quarters, long gaskins, good legs, and flat bono. He possesses all that is necessary in a sire, size, bone, and breeding. He is out of that far-famed mare Phoenix by Gownsman (imported), out of Ikamataki by Figaro (imported), out of Brunette by Riddles worth (imported). Phoenix has been a clipper on tho turf. Sho started in 46 races and scored 41 wins as follows: —First season: Hawke's Bay, G: AVellington, 4 ; Pararoa, 3; Pahautauui, 4 ; Taranecau, 2 ; Foxton, 4 ; Taratahi, 2 ; Opaki, 3 ; AVeyanga, 4. Second season: AVellington, 3; Pararoa, 2 ; Rangitikei, 3. Her last and greatest performance in the AVairarapa was in tho Ladies' Purse, carrying 12st lib—lst 41b of Avhich Avas dead Aveight—ending the career of one of the grandest animals that CA-er stripped on the Ncav Zealand turf. She has also been a great prize-taker as a brood mare. She has taken eight first prizes, three at LoAver Hutt, AVellington, three at AVairarapa, and tAvo more at Canterbury, Avhilo Avith Traducer it can be plainly seen that St. Patrick's ancestors came from a racing family, and were racers themselves. St. Patrick never had a chance to sboAv Avhether he could race or not, as ho never started in anything. I had him under preparation for B;monthstAA'o years ago, Avhcnthe disqualification by tho Hawke's Bay Racing Club was placed upon mo, and under these circumstances poor Pat had to return to the paddock. Last season I had to turn him to account by standing him at the AVairoa, AA'here he served 92 marcs, Avhich I also hope to sec him do this season in his iicav field. Terms: Single mares, £5 ; groomagc, ss. Tavo or more, tho property of the same owner, as per agreement. Every care will be taken, but no responsibility incurred. As Mr Murtagh has taken the farm lately in the of Mr LcAvis Evans, Avith abundance of grass, owners of mares may depend on getting their mares returned in good condition.
