"MARORO" Will Stand during tub present season at the Stables lately occupied by Mr. James Carden. Makauri. f\WNERS of really good mares should not lose sight of the opportunity afforded of the sendees 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 qualitj’ 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, but judging from the appearance of his stock, whi'-h I now saw for the first time, he should prove a good sire, as all his progeny that I came across during my visit showed a lot of quality, and were, one and all,* rare-legged ’tins. Fair Agnes is as handsome as paint, and, as before stated is the dam of Maroro. PEDIGREE.—By Towton, dam Fair Agnes ; Towton by Melbourne—Pinezella by Touchstone. (Towton’s full sister Marchioness and half-brother Marquis distinguish- <1 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 succe-sful, namely—that of Sir Hurcules and the Touchstone—is combined in Maroro, in fact not to be lost sight of by int< Uigent breeders. Fair Agnes, the d?m of Maroro, has left her mark on the New Zealand Turf, as her foals are—lB72, Nellie, by Towton ; 1373, Maroro, by Towton ; 1874, Chokebore, by Dead Shot. For further particulars, see New Zealand Stud Book. BISMARCK Will Stand at the same place. Terms— . 22 10s. each Mare, including one month's grass ; afterwards 2s. 6d. per week.
