TO STAND THIS SEASON AT WOODVILLE AND TAIIORAITE, ..<">":■: \ rgUlEThorought'V '■*■'• *\ -fi bred Horse < v^- : >- Vn BT " PATRICK. *?: A: ___ '"" J,"-} St. Patrick was :-'-■-::■--.- bred by P. J. Murtagh, of Hawke's Bay. Ho 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 well as nice horses. He is considered by competent judges to bo one of the grandest horses ever seen in New Zealand. St. Patrick is now 6 years old, is by the celebrated horse The Premier, by Malton (imported) out of Revoke, mother of Trump Card, one of the grandest horses ever bred in New Zealand. As a two-year-old lie won the Champagne Stakes at Canterbury, after which ho was purchased by Mr Stead for 1500 guineas. As a three-year-old he carried oit' three-Dorlys—Canterbury, Wellington, and Dunedin. At Canterbury he ran second for the Cup, weight for age, and on the following day won the Christohurch Plate. At Wellington, after winning , the Derby, ran Lara to a neck for the Cup, giving him two years and Gibs. Afterwards in Dunedin he won tho Publicans' Purse Handicap, defeating Isaac Walton over his favorite distance, giving him two years and Tibs. At tho same meeting , he enntored homo in front of the wonderful horso Templeton for the Queen's Plato. lor further performance see Turf Register. The Premier has also been a grand performer on the turf, having won tho Wairarapa Stakes, three miles, beating Koarria, Fishhook, and eight others. He also won the Empiro Plate at Wellington, beating , a largo field ; but, like St. Patrick, ho was put to the stud too soon without giving him a chance to distinguish himself, as his family lias done before and after him. St. Patrick is one of the handsomest horses ever bred in New Zealand. Ho is thoroughly sound, lias a beautiful head and muscular neck let into slanting shoulders, short back, grand quarters, long gaskins, good legs, and flat bone. He possesses all that is necessary in a sire, size, bone, and breeding. He is out of that far-famed marc Phoenix by Gownsman (imported), out of Ikamataki by Figaro (imported), out of Brunette by Itiddlesworth (imported). Phoenix has been a clipper on the turf. She started in 4 0 races and scored 41 wins as follows .-—First season: Hawke's Bay, G: Wellington, 4 ; Pararoa, 3; Pahautanni, 4; Taranccau, 2; Foxton, 4; Taratahi, 2; Opaki, 3; Woyanga, 4. Second season: Wellington, 3; Pararoa, 2 ; lluiigitikci, 3. Her last and greatest performance in the Wairarapa was in (lie Ladies' Purse, carrying 12st lib—lst Jib of which was dead weight—ending the career of one ol the grandest animals that ever stripped on the New Zealand turf. She has also been a great prizo-taker as a brood mare. She has taken eight first prizes, three at Lower Hutt, AVcllington, three at Wairarapa, and two more at Canterbury, while with Traduccr it can be plainly seen that St. Patrick's ancestors came from a racing family, and were racers themselves. St. Patrick never had a (.■banco to show whether he could race or not, as ho never started in anything. I had him under preparation for two years ago, when the disqualification by the Hawke's Bay Racing Club was placed upon me, 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 Wairoa, where he served 02 mares, which I also hope to see him do this season in his now field. Terms : Single mares, £» ; groomago, 5s Two or more, tho property of the same owner, as per agreement. Every care will be taken, but no responsibility incurred. St. Patrick will be at Woodvillo on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, and the remainder of the week at Tahoraite. All charges to be paid before removal.

Young Watty was bred by the Duke of Beaufort, Badminton; he obtained second prizo at tho Agricultural Show hold at Gloucester, beating fourteen others ; when two years old lie obtained the first prize at the Cirencestcr meeting, beating several three-year-olds. He was then sold to go to Australia, where he has taken several prizes, being , first at Kilmore against all comers. Afterwards he was imported to Canterbury, where lie has taken several first and second prizes, and lias given the highest satisfaction. Young Watty's sire, Sir Robert, is a pure Clydesdale, and was bred by Mr James Scott Stanley Muir, whoso horses have been sold at liig-her prices, and won more prizes during tho last half century, than any others in tho West of Scotland. Sir Robert was first exhibited at Coldstream in March, 1862, where ho won the Union Agricultural Society's prize of £30, beating twenty of the best horses in Scotland. He won also the Northumberland Society's prize at Belfast the same season. In 1863 he was exhibited at tho Circnccster meeting of tho Gloucester Agricultural Society, where ho won tho i'irst prize.

In 18G5 he won the first prize at the Plymouth meeting of the Royal Agricultural Society of England, and has never been beaten. Sir Robert is by the well-known horso Young Watty, who won three prizes in Renfrewshire, at Maryhill, Johnstonc, and at Kihnalcolm, after which lie left tho country.
