Her head is handsome, though her ears are large, but the forehead is broad, and the eye bold and full, giving her a most intelligent appearance Her neck is nicely moulded and her shoulders long and powerful. Oyer the back she is something wonderful, being nicely ribbed, and having exceedingly powerful but well turned quarters, and a good set of legs, she is indeed one of the grandest fillies that New Zealand has ever produced ; and if anything belonging to the weaker sex is to rival the doings of Lnrline and Calumny, this of all the fillies I have seen is the one most likely to do it.” Terms—£s; Groomage, ss.
