Gladiator was never tried to race, but his full brother, Messager, was a rare performer on the flat, over hurdles, and across country, having- won the Northamptonshire Stakes as a "-1-year-old, Surrey Grand National Open Steeplechase, tho Croydon Grand Hurdle- Race, and ran second in the United Kingdom Steeplechase in 1874. He also won many races in France, and the sporting correspondent of the London Standard pronounced him the very best steeplechaser as a 5-year old. Gladiateur is also grandsire of Sussex, Sting and other wonderful performers. The performances of Sussex prove him to be one of the best horses ever bred in Australia: it is needless to enumerate the number of his victories, except the Grand National Steeplechase of July, 1881, carrying top weight 13st lib. Sting won the Hawkesbury Grand Handicap, carrying Sst, doing the'l-1- mile in 2 mins. sec, tho fastest time on record. Gladiator is admitted to bo one of the handspmost thoroughbreds in the colony, and is eminently suited for getting racehorses, woight-carrj'ing hunters, hurdleracers, and ladies' and gentlemen's hacks.

Opawa, by Ravcnsworth, out of Fairy by Glaucus-Spray by Donizetti-Lady Ann by Whiskcr-Ravensworth by Touek-itone, etc. It will be seen by reference to the above pedigree that Opawa is bred the right way for both pace and power, having on tho sire's side tho grand Whalebone, Waxy and Pantaloon strains, whilst on his dam's side ho boasts as equally illustrious line of ancestry. As a racehorse Opawa proved himself a worthy descendant ot his ],i«rli lineage, having won some of the best contested races on this coast, giving lumps of weight to his opponents. As a tlirce-vcar-oid, after standing tho season,_ ho ran two weight-for-age races at Blenheim. As a four-year-old, after standing the season, he won the Wanyanui Stakes £8 0, w eightfor a-e, beating Folly, Blade Eagle, Satellite, Tambourini, and Maid of the Mill. The next day ho came out again, and won tho W.J.C. Handicap, of £1/0, carrying Bst 3lb, beating mne others, includin-- Tambourini, Black Eagle, and Maori°Weed. In the samo month, at T'iranaki, he won the Cup of £00, weight for a"-c two miles, beating Tambourini after a splendid struggle. The same day, carrying 9st 2lb, ho won the Ladies' Purse, beating 0 Tambourini, Resolution, and Camclia. The next day Opawa placed the T..1.0. Handicap, £100, to his credit, carrying Bst 4lb, and then finished the day by winning tho Railway Stakes in a canter. Tho following year ho again won tho W.J.C. Handicap, 9st 71b, and Wanganui Stakes, "weight for age. Opawa also won several other well-con tested races. It will bo seen, therefore, that Opawa is well worthy of tho attention of breeders, his pedigree being of the highest strains of winning blood, and his performances unequalled on this side of the world. He is as sound as the day ho was foaled, and possesses a constitution of unsurpassed excellence. His stock have turned out well, as his first season's foals furnished Don-
