LARGE AND TOWNLEY, Gladstone Road. 543 “MARORO" Will Stand during the present season at the Stables lately ■ cci'pd'l' by Mr. Jambs Carden. Makauri. of really good mares shoul 1 not lose sight of the opportunity afforded of the sendees of such an animal as MARORO—as ho is closely related to the very best blood now running in England. MARORO is a beautiful liver-colored Chestnut standing Sixteen hands; and showing i quality of Bone and Substance equal, if not superior, to anything y<t hwd in xcw Zealand. In 1876 Maroro was selected by his breeder (Mr. H. Redwoo I, of Spring Creek, Blenheim) to • epresent his colors for the Dunedin up of that year and notwithstandin g that two Victorian horses n'nd all the New Zealand cracks were amongst the entries, was at once installed fir-t favourite ; and but for a very severe passage, owing to bad weather prevailing, no doubt, could bo entertained but that he would have won the great event. In 1877, as a four-year-old, MARORO was exhibited in Bb-nheim, and received the FIRST PRIZE as the Best Thoroughbred Stallion on the ground. A glat-ce at Maroro’s Pedigree is sufficient to show that a more purely bred animal has never yet had his services tendered in Poverty Bay. Kenelin, 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 bv Maroro, the son of Towton and F-'ir Agnes and who. according to his owner’s ace unt. wa one of the stoutest and speediest anim Is he ever had i-» work. He was, owing to a series of accid- nts unsuccessful on the turf but judging from the appearance of his stock, whi h I now saw for the first time he should pr ve a good sire, as all his progeny that I came across during my visit showed a lot of quality, a-id were, one and all. rare-legged ’'ins. Fair Agnes is as handsome as paint, and, as before stated is the dam of Maroro. PEDIGREE.—By Towton. dam Fair Agnes : Towton bv Melbourne—Pinezella by Touchstone. (Towton’s full si-ter Marchioness and half-brother Marquis distinguish* d 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. auhyn-Phoebe by Sir Hercules—Woodstock by Theorem. By this it will be seen that the happy “ niok of blood ” which has in Australia heen eve l- so succe sful namely—that <4 Sir Hercules and the Touchstone—is combined Maroro. in fact not to be lost sight of by intelligent breeders. Fair Agnes, the d m of Maroro. has left her mark on the New Zealand Torf. as her foals are—ls 72. Nellie, by Towt n : 1873, Maroro, by Towton ; 1874, Chokebore, by Dead Shot.
