Yattendon, by Sir Hercules; dam, Cassandra, by Tros (imported),; dam, Gulnare, grand-dam of the renowned Barb. Patriarch possesses Australian Sir Hercules blood through his sire, and the Irish Birdcatchcr blood through his dam, so that his breeding cannot be excelled. He is own brother to Sir Hercules Robinson’s celebrated racehorse Fits-Yattendon. His dam, Days of Old, is also dam of Rose of Australia, one of the grandest and gamest of Australian turf performers. She ran uiu jjimuub jcisiiook to a head in that memorable struggle over the Sydney Cup course, having behind her seventeen of the cracks of Australian colonies; amongst them such celebrities as Tim Whiffler, Volunteer, Tarragan, Yattendon, Talleyrand. Days of Old is full sister to Days of Yore, champion prizetaker at the Sydney Exhibition, open to all the Australian colonics.

Patriarch is a rich dark bay with black points; standing - 16 hands high, on short legs, with beautiful flat bone, good feet, extraordinarily handsome, showing great quality combined with strength and substance; remarkably good constitution, and docile temper. He was very fast and game during his short career on the turf, from which he was taken to the stud, after meeting with an accident as a four-year-old. He won the Eandwick Nursery Handicap; the V. R. C. Handicap; second for the Sydney Cup, giving a year and 7lbs. to Vixen, also by Yattendon, having behind him Dagworth, the Ace, and thirteen others. Since coming to New Zealand his young stock have sold at high figures in Melbourne, and his son, Terrick Terrick, when rising three years old, Avon races at Dcniliquin and Sandhurst, and his stock have been racing since with success, On the oAvncr of Patriarch leaving Australia for England he was purchased by the Avcll-knoAvn Studmaster, Mr McLean, of Hawke’s Bay, where he served 2 seasons. The present owners have just purchased him, and announce the fact thus early in order that breeders may Avait and sec him before making their selections. PERFORMANCES.

The proprietor having received very many testimonials from respected and well-known old colonists (North and Middle Islands), solicits a careful perusal of a feAv of them, and leaves the public to judge whether or not these Indian Medicines have been justly styled THE-WONDER OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY. All suffering from Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Sciatica, Lumbago, Gout, Rheumatic Gout, Indigestion, Biliousness, or Liver Complaints, should immediately try these medicines, and prov r e their marvellous effects. They can be had of all chemists and medicine vendors. THE. mistake many Advertisers make is to place their advertising expenses to current account instead of to capital account. , Suppose a yearly expenditure of £IOO in. Advertising produces a net profit of only £2O for the first year. Undoubtedly this does not mean a loss of £BO, but it means a return of £2O per cent upon capital invested ; for the business is there, and avIII remain if properly looked after, and a second year’s Advertising Avill most certainly increase the profit on the full capital to 30 or 40 per cent. As a set-off to these expenses hi the capital account of the enterprising business-man, he can shoAv the increased value of the article advertised, and also of the goodwill of his business. Some business-men lose sight of this fact.—■ Advertisers' Manual.
