Makauri. /“OWNERS of really good mares should 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 4 quality of Bone and Substance equal, if not superior, to anything yot hrpd in New Zealand. In 187 C Maroro was selected by his bree'er (Mr. H. Redwoo 1, 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 bu’ for a very severe passage, owing to bad weather prevailing, no doubt coubl 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, correspond© t of the “ Australasian,*' writing from Christchurch on June 29th last says :— “ In the well-sheltered and grassy paddock 1 , which has been the early home nf so many animals whose names are now historical in the annals of th • New Ze-land turf, was a group '4 five yearlings, three of whom were by Maror<>, the son of Towton and F-ir Agnes, and who, according to his owner’s acc -urit. wa- one of the stoutest and speediest anim Is he ever had in work. He was, owing to a series of accid< nts unsuccessful on the turf but judging from the ap|iearance 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, and were, one and al), 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; Towton bv Melbourne—Pinezella by Touchstone. (Towton’s full si-ter Marchioness and half-brother Marquis distinguish- d themselves <n the Rnglhh Turf, us the former won the Oaks, and the latter ran a desperate Recond for the Derby, and won the St Leger.) Fair Agnes by St. Aubyn- Phcebe by Sir Hercules—Woodstock by Theorem. By this it wilt he seen that the happy " nick of blood ” which has in Australia been eve- so *mcce sful 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 d-<m nf Maroro, has left her mark on the New’ Zealand Turf, as her foals are—lH72, Nellie, by Towt'-n : 1873. Maroro, by Towton ; 1874, Chokebore, by Dead Shot.
