[contributed.] During a trip through Moutoa, looking at the stock depasturing on the holdings of the various selectors, I was struck with the excellent appearance of a yearling by Conqueror—Sheet Lightning. The first glance I had of him was when he was startled. Head well in the air, arched neck, legs slim and strong, good shoulders, back not too long and well proportioned hindquarters. I predict a brilliant future for the colt; he will, I think, be a worthy representative of his record breaking sire.
