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 Aveight carriers, coach horses, as Avell as racehorses, as he surpasses everything yet seen in Neiv Zealand for size and strength, combined Avith the best blood that ever fioAYed in a horse's veins.

Ada's dam Princes is also dam of Glaukos, Potentate, Symphony, dam of Lacenfeed-Casandra, dam of .Opera, winner of the Canterbury Derby and dam of that good old horse Tambourine.
