AND STILL THE SIRE OF THE SEASON. s*. x-T* The Thoroughbred f« -HorseP- OIIOKURAronoKUKA by Pacific, out of Villetto (by Young Plover, out of Ada—Young Plover by /Ether) ; Pacific by Flatcatcher, dam Disagreeable by Agreeable—her dam by Sam, out of Morel by Sorcerer. Flatcatcher by Touchstone, out "of Decoy by Filho da Puta, Finesse by Peruvian, Viscount by John Bull, sister to Skyscraper by Highflyer. Touchstone by Camel, Banter by Master Henry, Boadicea by Alexander, Brunette by Amaranthus—Mayfly by Matchem—Camel by AVhalcbone, out of Selim mare—Maiden "by SirPeter—Phenomenon. Pacific was imported from England, and got tho celebrated performers Orlando, Nebula, Glengarry, Satellite (tho fastest horse foaled in the* Southern Hemisphere), Moonshine, Moss Rose, Dundee, Resolution, Hailstorm, and Rangipo. Pohokura is also fortunate on the dam's side, for Young Plover, tho siro of Poliokura's dam, was not only a first-class racehorse, but was most successful at the stud, as all his progeny were clippers under heavy weights—be the distance six furlongs or three miles. Pohokura's dam was half-sister to that grand mare Deception, the best marc that ever trod the New Zealand turf —she ran fifth in the Champion Race in Sydney, in 18G0, in a largo field, three days after binding from New Zealand, Aillette (dam of Pohokura) raced ivith great success as a three-year-old, but Avas early put to tho stud, and became the dam of several well-known winners. Pohokura promised to bo a great performer, both on the flat and over fences, but his racing career was unfortunately cut short by an accident which, though it deprives the turf of Avhat bid fair to be ono of tho grandest performers in the colony, Avill prove a boon to breeders desirous of producing racers, steeplechasers, or excellent weight-carrying hacks. He is a beautiful dark-brown (almost black) with black points, 8 years, stands 15 hands 3£ inches high, his whole contour being handsome, poVerful, and racing-like, ami in his veins runs blood of the most patrician quality, tracing back to the grand Touchstone fountain, whose deserved praise wo should never cease to sing. " Touchstone—tho renowned "founder of a line of kings"—who was directly descended on both sides by Eclipse —through AVhalcbone, AVaxy, and Pot-S-os on the side of his siro (Camel), and through Master Henry, OrAille, Beningbrough, and King Fergus on the side of his dam (Banter), thus tracing back in direct lines to both the Darley and Godolpbin Barbs. The winnings of the stock of his great progenitors, Eclipse and Emilus, Avere surpassed by Touchstone. Iv twenty years, betiveon 1841 and 1860, he got 323 winners of upwards of 700 races."

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. Ho is admirably adapted for getting iveigbt carriers, coach horses, as well as racehorses, as i lie surpasses everything yet seen in New Zealand for size and strength, combined Avith the best blood that ever flowed in a horse's veins.

It is sufficient to mention the name of Traducer, as he got the best horses ever bred in New Zealand, namely, Lurline, Calumny, Le Loup, Fish-hook, Tcmpleton, Maritana, Bribery, Te AVhetumarama, Black Prince, Sir Modrod and a host of others too numerous to mention. 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. Coupled with the above Danebury, sire of Tcmpleton, has been a great performer on the turf, having beaten tho best horses which NeAv Zealand could then produce.
