TO STAND THIS SEASON AT TARADALE. $& npHE Easliionably-bred feip« JL and Very Superior Throughbred Horse J«_^l__lV : PISCATORIOUS. This beautiful and stout-bred horso is a dark brown, with black points, stands about 16 hands 2 inches high, his whole contour bcin 1 *' very haivl*-om<?, powerful, and has a neat expressive licid, indicative of a good temper, which he possesses, his neck is long and muscular, with windpipe well detached, his shoulders are (loop and well laid back, and good enough for anything. Traducer (siro of Piscatorious), a recollection of whose name will never die while racing exists, for his progeny have proved themselves to be of the very highest class, viz': Lurline, Calumny, Templeton, Welcome Jack, Lo Loup, and Sir Modrcd (winning this year the Sydney Great Metropolitan). Fisherman (sire of the dam Piscatorious), as a game and lasting horse may challenge the best of the "days that aro <>-one." Against the best horses in England (and always carrying top weight) in 1850, he started in thirty-four races, and won twenty-three races ; in 1857, started thirtysix and won twenty-three ; in 1858, started thirty-two and won twenty-one. Sometime after 18G0 he was imported to Australia, and put to the stud, and as results have shown proved himself the Emperor of Stallions of the Southern Hemisphere, for his descendants, botli at the turf and at the stud, have provod themselves the best horses in Australia. Fisherman is the sire and grandsire of the following wonders: — Sylvia (dam Martini Henry) Maribyrnong (the most fashionable sire in Australia), Angler (the best sire in Australia to-day), Onyx (Auckland Stud Company's mare), Lady Heron, The Fly, Robinson Crusoe, Horatio, Goldsborough (this the coming sire of Australia), Hamlet, Cap-a-pie, Richmond, Progress, Cunnamula, Navigator, Dagmar, Ferryman, Fishhook, Gasworks, Segenhoe, Sardonyx, lolauthe, and Bargo (these two last mentioned horses were first and second in this year's Hawkesbury Guineas.) Two of the best mares owned by the Auckland Stud Company are descendants of Fisherman, St. Simon, the best horse tho world ever saw, runs back to the old Fisherman strain. Fanny Fisher (dam of Piscatorious) is the dam. of some of the best horses that have ever trod on the New Zealand turf. Coquette (imp., dam of Fanny Fisher), was first put to the stud in England, where her progeny proved themselves real clippers. She was eventually imported to Australia, and became the dam and grand dam of some of Australia's best performers. Launcelot (sire of Coquette) was a grandly bred horse, being out of Banter, by Camel —Launcelot. Won the English St. Lcger, 1840. Fanny Fisher was the only Fisherman mare ever put to Traducer. This alone should make Piscatorious invaluable as a stud horse, and when two such renowned strains arc blended together, it requires only a few really firstclass mares to make Piscatorious as famous at the stud as his sire and grand sire. Mr Walters (and whose opinion ought to be respected in refereuco to horseflesh) always spoke of this horse as the "future sire of Now Zealand," and if shape and appearance go for anything he should be right, for he is the model of a racehorse, without a particle of lumber; add his blood for every requisite—speed, stoutness, running family on the sides of the sire and dam, such as ( cannot bo surpassed. The following pedigree (were ho alive) would make poor old Mr I'Anson's eyes - glisten with delight, for it fairly bristles ■ with England's best and purest blood: —
