Pero Gomez full brother to A r asco di Gama won the Middle Park Plate, Newmarket Stakes, Ascot Derby, St. Leger Doncaster Stakes, Grand Duke of Michael Stakes and Royal Stakes (in all about £14,000). He has been a most successful siro in England, and his son Peregrine Avon the 2000 guineas stakes (worth about £5000) and was only beaten by a head for tho Derby and was sold for 7000 guineas. It is no use looking at aristocratic breeding, grand appearance and good performances, if Vasco does not succeed with real good marcs in begetting racehorses equal to any that have ever graced a racecourse. Limited to 20 approved marc 3at 10 guineas each. osk The imported French Thor- ; oughbrcd Stallion Pi LADIATOR—AbeauVJT tif ul golden Chestnut, 15 hands 3 inches, bred by Count Lcgrango, got by that wonderful galloping machine Gladiateur who gained the triple croivn by Avinning the Tavo Thousand Guineas, Derby and St. Leger in 1805 ; dam Nuncia (also dam of Nemesis, winner of tho Metropolitan Stakes, Si'duoy, doing the 2 miles in 2mins. 33scc, beating 15 others; also dam of Messager, and of Victoire who won tho Kingsbury Open Steeplechase, carrying top weight, 12st. 21b.), by Nuncio out of Fatima by Elis.

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 Avonderful 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 1 Sst lib. Sting won the Hawkesbury Grand Handicap, carrying Sst, doing the 1J milo in 2 mins. 3G| sec, the fastest time on record. Gladiator is admitted to be one of the handsomest thoroughbreds in the colony, and is eminently suited for getting racehorses, weight-carrying hunters, hurdleracers, and ladies' and gentlemen's hacks.

Opawa, by Ravensivorth, out of Fairy by Glaucus—Spray by Donizetti —Lady Ann by AVhisker —Ravensivorth by Touchstone, etc. It will be seen by reference to the above pedigree that OpaAva is bred the right way for both pace and poAver, having on the sire's side tho grand AVhalcbone, AVaxy and Pantaloon strains, ivhilst on his dam's sido he boasts as equally illustrious line of ancestry. As a racehorse Opawa proved himself a worthy descendant of his high lineage, having won some of the 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 weight-for-age races at Blenheim. As a four-year-old, after standing tho season, ho won the Wanganui Stakes, £80, Aveightfor age, beating Folly, Black Eagle, Satellite, Tambourini, and Maid of tho Mill. The next day ho came out again, and Avon tho AV.J.C. Handicap, of £170, carrying Sst 31b, beating nine others, including Tambourini, Black Eagle, and Maori AVced. In the same month, at Taranaki, be Avon tbe Cup of £50, Aveight for ago, two miles, beating Tambourini after a splendid struggle. The same day, carrying Ost 21b, he won the Ladies' Purse, beating Tambourini, Resolution, and Camelia. The next day Opawa placed the T.J.C. Handicap, £100, to his credit, carrying Sst 4lb, and then finished the day by winning the Railway Stakes in a canter. The folloiving year he again ivon the AV.J.C. Handicap, Ost 71b, and AVanganui Stakes, weight for age. Opawa also won several other well-contested races. It will be scon, 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 he was foaled, and possesses a constitution of unsurpassed excellence. His stock have turned out well,
