THE PURE BRED CLYDESDALE ENTIRE HORSE Glasgow Geordie. 'Glasgow Geordie stands 16J hands high, is a beautiful bright bay, with splendid legs, has very superior action, with almost faultless symmetry, and has proved himself a sure foal getter. His dam Empress, own sister to Emperor, was bred by \V. H. Valpy, Esq., out of Nancy (imported), by Napoleon (imported). Empress has gained the following prizes, viz Second in Dunedin in 1866, beating Nimmo’s celebrated bay mare Kate, which was sold to go to Canterbury for L 220 in 1868 ; gained the second prize at Taieriand third at Dunedin, beating Nimmo’s old black mare Jean ; and in 1870 gained second at Taieri, first at Shag Valley, and first at Blueskin. She was only exhibited six times, and was successful on each oc- ■ casion. Nancy was by the famous Garvey horse, and was bred by Alex. Findlay, Esq., Sandyhills, near Glasgow, and was imported to Otago by \V. H. Valpy, Esq., per the skip Southern Cross, in 1856. Nancy was first shown as a three-year-old in 1854, and gained Frst Prize at Hamilton, First at Baillestown, Second at Glasgow, and Second at Kildbride. She was next year shown as brood mare at Glasgow and Kildbride, when she took Second Prize at both places. His sire, the celebrated imported horse Glasgow Geordie, by Champion, was bred by Mr Andrew Warnock, Bearyards, near Glasgow, out of his Prize mare Maggie, whose stock were all prize-takers without exception, and, although most of them were sold when under two years old, they realized in the aggregate over L 1,200. Glasgow Geordie has taken the following prizes First at Maryhill, Kirkintullock Bishopbriggs, and Johnson ; in 1867 he gained First Prize at T,.komairiro, First at Taieri. and First at Dunedin ; and 1868, First at Taieri, and Second at Dunedin.
