The Thoroughbred Stallion War Eagle is a dark brown horse witli black points, stands 15 hands inches high ; bred by W. Gerrard, Esq., oj Rapid Bay, South Australia. War Eagle, by Tregcagle, imported, out of Ordeal, imported, by Touchstone out of Mrs Fowler, by Heron (sire of Fisherman), g.g.d. by Muley out of sister to Pope, by Shuttle, &c. This fine stylish horse shows great substance, combined with quality, and is admirably adapted to get race' horses, caariage horses, hunters, or hacks. Although an accident prevented him racing himself, all his family have distinguished themselves on the turf ; and the recent high prices brought by Mr Gerard’s yearlings in Adelaide show the estimation in which the Rapid Bay slud is held. During the time Tregeagle has been in Australia he has produced many first-class horses, notably Device, winner of the Nursery Handicap at the Y.R.O. Meeting, and of the Shorts and Maidens at Adelaide, this fine filly never having been beaten ; Impudence, winner of the Adelaide Gup and Queen’s Hundred, 1876, and fourth in the last Melbourne Cup ; Superstition, winner of the Gawler and S.A.J.C. Autumn Handicap ; Cast Off and Lady Ferguson, winners of many races ; Nightingale, twice winner of Onkaparinga Cup, of the Adelaide Gift, and third in last Adelaide Cup; Doctor and Presumption, winners of several races ; also of Lansdowne, the well-known - steeplechase horse, and winner of the Y.R.C. Steeplechase at the last Cup Meeting. No better bred horse than Tregeagle (the sire of War Eagle) has'ever been imported to Australia, as his father Wild Dayrell, is the sire of Buccaneer, Talk o’ the Hills, Horror, &c., and grand sire of Kisber, Formosa, Paul Jones, and many other first-class horses on the English turf. His dam, Silver Hair, is equally celebrated, being the dam of Silvio, the winner of the English Derby, also of Gartenby Bill, a great favorite for the same race two years ago, and a good winner in first-class company. His maternal granddam, England’s Beauty, was the dam of that good horse, The Rake, also of the Sydney Kingstone, sire of Kingsborough, Lecturer, Savanaka, and many other first-class horses, showing that the blood of Tregeagle has not only made its mark in the old country, but throughout the length and breadth of Australia. Ordeal (the dam of WAR EAGLE) is equally as well-bred as the sire, being one of the last daughters of that king of stallions, old Touchstone, whose blood Hows in (he veins of all the best horses of the day. She, like Tregeagle, was bred by (he laic Mr Blenkiron, of Middle Park, Ellham Kent, and imported to Victoria by the late Mr R. Ta.ttcrsa.ll, who sold her to Mr Gerrard. Her previous foal. Echo, ran a great horse in South Australia, winning many races, ami was universally considered one of the best and grandest looking animals ever bred in Anslrulia. Ordeal has no less than three at rains of the Stout. Orville blood in her veins, with one of Selim, both of which celebrated lines also occur in Tregeale’s pedigree, as well as 11 ml. ol’ Touchstone and Irish llm'lcal elier ; so that. I lie Whalebone and Eclipse blood is also well represented in War Eagle's pedigree, whilst through Kingston lie has a. dash of the Walton blood. In fact WAR Eagle has a grand comhiiudion of the best strains of blood in the world, ns a. glance at his tabulated pedigree will testify, which with the liberal terms at which his services are offered to Hie public, and Ids size, substance, a,ml conformal inn. should strongly recommend him In (lie notice of breeders; more especially as lie is such a close relation to Hie celebrated Silvio, winner of the last Engl lull Derby, Wellington 2nd is a, bright, bay, 5 years old ; of a, must remarkably docile disposition. Iln.ua splendid lop. Is very muscular, and pus-esses plenty of bone and hair of (he rigid quality | and for net ion and style there Is not his equal in the (list riel. Wellington 2nd, sire the far-famed horse Old Wellington, is so well and favorably known in this (listriel. dial, lie needs no comment ; and I need nol say Hint nil the best and staunchest horses on the coast are by Old Wellington, which is a tael Hud cannot, bo denied. Maggie,' Hie dam of Wellington 2nd, is by Hie old favorite and well known hoi sc England’s Hope. Maggie’s dam Kate is by Sampson, and .lean, Kate’s dam was a Clydesdale mare Imported Jrom Tasmania, Wellington 2nd, as will be seen, is descended from some of Hie best Clydesdale blood ever imported to New Zealand.
