“ BUAPEHU.” Thoroughbred Horse, «■ -1- by Pacific, out of an imported Arabian Mare, will run with his Mares this season in my paddocks at Toanga. Ruapehu and his stock are too well-known in the Bay to need any comment. He is thoroughly quiet and a sure foal-getter. Terms as per agreement. Paddocking free for one month ; after that 2s 6d per week will be charged. All fees and charges must be paid before removal of Mares. 533 EWEN CAMERON. "M AtTotTo " Will Stand during the present season at the Stables lately occupied by Mr. James Carden. AWNERS of really good mares should not lose Vz sight of the opportunity afforded of the services of such an animal as MARORO—as he is closely related to the very best blood now running in England. MARORO is a beautiful liver-colored Chestnut standing Sixteen hands ; and showing a quality of Bone and Substance equal, if not superior, to anything yet bred in New Zealand. In 1876 Maroro was selected by his breeder (Mr. H. Redwood, of Spring Creek, Blenheim) to represent his colors for the Dunedin •'up of that year, and notwithstanding that two Victorian horses and all the New Zealand cracks were amongst the entries, was at once installed first favourite ; and but for a very severe passage, owing to bad weather prevailing, no doubt could be entertained but that he would have won the great event. In 1877, as a four-year-old, MARORO was exhibited in Blenheim, and received the FIRST PRIZE as the Best Thoroughbred Stallion on the ground. A glance at Maroro’s Pedigree is sufficient to show that a more purely bred animal has never yet had his services tendered in Poverty Bay. Kenelm, correspondent of the “ Australasian,” writing from Christchurch on June 29th last says : — “In the well-sheltered and grassy paddock, which has been the early home of so many animals whose names are now historical in the annals of the New Zealand turf, was a group of five yearlings, three of whom were by Maroro, the son of Towton and Fair Agnes, and who, according to his owner’s account, was one of the stoutest and speediest animals he ever had in work. He was, owing to a series of accidents unsuccessful on the turf, hut judging from the appearance of his stock, which I now saw for the first time, he should prove a good sire, as all his progeny that I came across during my visit show cd a lot of quality, and were, one and all, rare-legged ’uns. Fair Agnes is as handsome as paint, and, as before stated is the dam of Maroro. PEDIGREE.—By Towton, dam Fair Agnes ; Towto i by Melbourne—Pinezella by Touchstone. (Towton’s full sister Marchioness and half-brother Marquis distinguiHhed themselves on the English Turf, as the former won the Oaks, and the latter ran a desperate second for the Derby, and won the St. Leger.) Fair Agnes by St. Aubyn—Phoebe by Sir Hercules—Woodstock by Theorem. By this it will be seen that the happy “ nick of blood ” which has in Australia been ever so successful, namely—that of Sir Hurcules and the Touchstone—is combined in Maroro, in fact not to be lost sight of by intelligent breeders. Fair’Agnes, the dam of Maroro, has left her mark on the New Zealand Turf, as her foals are—lB72, Nellie, by Towtnn ; 1873, Maroro, by Towton ; 1874, Chokebore, by Dead Shot.
