Yattendon, by Sir Hercules; dam, Cassandra, by Tros (imported),; dam, Onlnarc, grand-dam of the renowned Barb.

He is own brother to Sir Hercules Robinson’s celebrated racehorse Fitz-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 the famous Fishook 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 colonies. Patriarch is a rich dark bay with black points; standing 1G bands high, on short logs, with beautiful flat bone, good foot, extraordinarily handsome, showing great quality combined with strength and substance; remarkably good constitution, and docile temper. He was very fast and game during bis short career on the turf, from which be was taken to the stud, after meeting with an accident as a four-year-old. He won the Rauclwick Nursery Handicap ; the Y. R. C. Handicap; second for the Sydney Cup, giving a year and 71hs. to Vixen, also by Yattendon, having behind him Dagworth, the Ace, and thirteen others.

On the owner of Patriarch leaving Australia for England lie was purchased by the well-known Studmaster, Mr McLean, of Hawke’s Bay, where he served 2 seasons.

QOLLAH’S GREAT INDIAN CURE. The proprietor having received very many testimonials from respected and well-known old colonists (North and Middle Islands), solicits a careful perusal of a few 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 prove their marvellous effects. They can bo 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 will remain if properly looked after, and a second year’s Advertising will most certainly increase, the profit on the full capital to 30 or 40 per cent. As a set-off to these expenses in the capital account fif the enterprising business-man, he can show 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 .
