' l'ei'o Gome/; full brother to Vasco di Gama wen the Middle Park Plate, Newmarket Stake*, Ascot Derby, St. Leger Doueaster Stakes, Grand Duke of Michael Stakes and Koyal Stakes (in all about .£l-1,000). Ho has been a most successful sire in England, and his son Peregrine won the 2000 guineas stakes (worth abuut .C 5000) and was only beaten by a head for the 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 mares in begetting racehorses equal to an}' that have ever graced a racecourse. Limited to 20 approved mares at 10 guineas each. jr*ij The imported French Thort> ■■ J = r oughbred Stallion (H LADIATOR -Abeau- _* j»/'- \JT tiful golden Chestnut, 15 hands 3 inches, bred by Count Legrange, got by that wonderful galloping "machine Gladiatcur who gained the triple crown by winning the Two Thousand Guineas, Derby and St. Lcgcr in 18G5 ; dam Nuncia (also dam of Nemesis, winner of the Metropolitan Stakes, Sydno}', doing- the 2 miles in 2mins.

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. Gladiatcur is also grandsirc of Sussex, Sting and other wonderful performers. The performances of Sussex prove him to be one of tho best horses ever bred in Australia: it is needless to enumerate tho number of his victories, except the Grand National Steeplechase of July, 1881, carrying top weight 13st lib. Sting Avon the Hawkesbury Grand Handicap, carrying Sst, doing the 1-J- mile in 2 mins. 3U:J sec, the fastest time on record.
