AND STILL THE SIRE OF THE SEASON. -wv ,-<~£> The Thoroughbred —Horse— p OH OKU R A.

Touchstone by Camel, Banter by Master Homy, Boadicea by Alexander, Brunette by Amaranthus—Mayfly by Matc)Cm ] —Camel by "Whalebone, out of Sclim maro—Maiden by SirPctei , —Phenomenon. Pacific was imported from England, and got the celebrated performers Orlando, Nebula, Glengarry, Satellite (the fastest horse foaled in the Southern Hemisphere), Moonshine, Moss Rose, Dundee, Resolution, Hailstorm, and llangipo. Pohokura is also fortunate 011 the dam's side, for Young , Plover, the sire of Pohokura's dam, was not only a first-class racelior.se, 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 maro that ever trod the Now Zealand turf—she ran fifth in the Champion Race in Sydney, in ISGO, in a large field, three days after landing from New Zealand, Yillotf.e (dam "I" PohokVira) raced with great success as a three-year-old, Init was early put to the stud, and became the dam of several well-known winners. Pohokura promised to be a great performer, both on the flat and over fences, but his racing ca; cer was unfortunately cut short by an accident which, Ihough it deprives the turf of what bid fair to be one of the grandest performers in the colony, will 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 bands 3', inches high, his whole contour being handsome, powerful, and racing-like, and in his veins runs blood of the most patrician quality, tracing back to the grand Touchstone fountain, whoso deserved praise we should never cease to sing. " Touchstone—the renowned "founder of a line of kings"-—who was directly descended on both sides by Eclipse —through Whalebone, Waxy, and Pot-S-os on the side of his sire (Camel), and through Master Henry, Orvillc, Beningbrough, and King Fergus on the side of his dam (Banter), thus tracing back in direct lines to both tho Darley and Godolphin Barbs. The -winning's of tho stock of his fjreat progenitors, Eclipse and Emilus, wore surpassed by Touchstone. In twenty years, between 1811 and 18G0, he got 323 winners of upwards of 700 races." DERBY.

All competent judges declare him the most useful and best sire that lias ever been in the Province. Breeders should never forget the fact that all this strain are noted for their good temper, general soundness, and hardy constitutions.
