"MARORO” Will Stand during the present season at the Stables lately • ccrn-u by Mr. James Carden. Makavri. OWNERS of really good mares should nnt lose 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. 11. Redwood, of Spring Creek, Blenheim) to represent his colors for the 1 »unedin ■ 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 bur 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, corresponde- t 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 th-- New Ze >land turf, was a group "f five yearlings, three of whom were by Maroro, the son of Towton and Fair Agnes, and who, according to his owner’s acc unt, wa- one of the 'stoutest and speediest an ini Is he ever had i-> 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 Agnea : Towton by Melbourne—Pinezella by Touchstone. (Towtoe’s full si-ter Marchioness and half-brother Marquis distinguished themselves on the English Turf, as th»former won the Oaks, and the latter ran a desperate second for the Derby, and won the St. Leger.) Fair Agnes by St. Aubyn—Phcebe by Sir Hercules—Woodstock by Theorem. By this it will be seen that the happy “nick of blood ” which has in Australia been ever sosucce-sful. namely—that of Sir Hurcules and the Touchstone—ia combined in Maroro. in fact not to be lost sight of by intelligent breeders. Fair Agn« s, the dam of Maroro, has left her mark on the New Zealand Turf, as her foals are—lx72, Nellie, by Towt n : 1873, Maroro, by Towton ; 1874, Chokebore, by Dead Shot.
