The Thoroughbred Stallion War Earle is a dark brown horse with black points, stands 15 hands 3-i- inches high ; bred by W. Gerranl, Esq., oj Rapid Bay, South Australia. Pedigree :— War Earle, by i’regeagle, imported, out of Ordeal, imported, by Touchstone out of Mrs Fowler, by Heron (sire of Fi.-hevman). 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 1! iy siiul is held. During the time Trcgcagle has been in Australia he has produced many first-class horses, notably Device, winner of the Nursery Handicap at the V.R.C. Meeting, and of the Shorts and Maidens at Adelaide, this fine filly never having been beaten ; Impudence, winner of the Adelaide Cup and Queen’s Hundred, 187(1. and fourth in the last Melbourne Cup ; Superstition, winner of the Gawlcr and S.A.J.C. Autumn Handicap ; Oast Off and Lady Ferguson, winners of many races ; Nightingale, twice winner of Onkaparinga Cup. of the Adelaide Gifr, and third in last Adelaide Cup ; DoC'or and Presumption, winners of several races ; also of Lansdownc, the well-known steeplechase horse, and winner of the V.R.C, Steeplechase at the last Cup Meeting. No better bred horse than Tregcaglc (the sire of War Earle) has ever been imported to Au-tralia, 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 (he 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 Hake, also of the Sydney Kingstone. sire of Kingsborough, Lecturer, Savanaka, and many other first-class horses, showing that the blood of 'i’regeagle 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, blood flows in the veins of all the best horses of the day. She. like Tregcaglc, was bred by (he late Mr Blcnkiron. of Middle Park. Eltham Kent, and imported to Victoria by the late Mr H. Taltersall, who sold her to Mr Gerrard. Her previous foal, Echo, ran a great horse in South Australia, winning many-races, and was universally considcre I one of the best and grandest looking animals ever hied in Australia. Ordeal has no less Ilian three strains 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 that of 'Touchstone and Irish Hirdcatchcr ; so that the Whalebone and Eclipse blood is also well represented in War Eagle’s pedigree, whilst 1 hrongh Kingston he has a dash of the Walton blood. In tact War Earle lias a grand combination of the best strains of blood" in the world, as a glance at In’s tabulated pedigree will testify, which with the liberal terms at which his services are ottered to the public, and his si/.e, substance, and conformation, should strongly recommend liim to the. notice of breeders; more especially as he is such a close relation to the celebrated Silvio, winner of the last English Derby. /V ELLINGTON 2 s D.
