'*? .*/s_&• 10 Thoroughbred r '■ e 'j^ A —Entire Horse— p a _j a - Opawa, by Ravcnsworth, out of Fairy by Glaucits—Spray by Donizetti—Lady Ann by Whisker —Ravcnsworth by Touchstone, etc. It Avill be seen by reference to the aboA-c pedigree that Opawa is bred tho right Avay for both pace and power, having ou the sire's side the grand Whalebone, Waxy and Pantaloon strains, Avhilst on his dam's side he boasts as cepially illustrious line of ancestry. As a racehorse Opawa proved himself a Avorlhy descendant of his high lineage, having won some of tlie best contested races on this coast, giving- lumps of weight to his opponents. As a three-year-old, after standing the season, he ran two Aveight-for-ago races at Blenheim. As a four-year-old, after standing the season, he Avon the Wanganui Stakes, £SO, Aveightfor age, beating Folly, Black Eagle, Satellite, Tambourini, and Maid of the Mill. The next day ho came out again, and Avon the W.J.C. Handicap, of .-£l7O, carrying Bst 31b, beating nine others, including Tambourini, Black Eagle, anel Maori Weed. In the same month, at Taranaki, he Avon the Gup of £00, Aveight for age, t\A-o miles, beating Tambourini after a sjnendid struggle. The same day, carrying 9st 21b, lie Avon tho Ladies' Purse, beating Tambourini, Resolution, and Camelia. Tlie next day Opawa placed the T.J.C.

Handicap, Oat 71b, and Wanganui Stakes, weight for ago. Opawa also aa-oii several other Avcll-contestcel races. It Avill be seen, therefore, that Opawa is well AA-orthy of the attention of breeders, his pedigree being of the highest strains of whining blood, and his performances imequailed ou this side of the Avorld. He is as sound as the day he was foaled, and
