Maraorl /"YWNF.RA of really good mares shout I not lose vz eight of the opp-urnnity afforded of the services of such an animal as MARORO—as he is closely related to the very beet blood now running in England. MARORO is a beautiful Hver-oolored Chestnut standing Sixteen hands; and showing a quality of Bone and Substance equal, if not superior, to anything y.-t bred in Sow Zealand. Tn 1876 Maroro was selected by his bree’er (Mr. H. Red woo», 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 flr-t favourite ; and hut for a very severe passage, owing to bad weather prevailing, no doubt coul-l 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 r.f 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 Maron •, the son of Towton and Fair Agnes, and who. according to his owner’s acc >unt. wa • one of the stoutest and speediest auim Is he ever had i<> work. He was, owing to a series of accid- nts unsuccessful on the turf hut 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 «’uring my visit showed a lot of quality, and were, one and all, rare-legged ’nns. Fair Agnes is as handsome os 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 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 eve' so succe sful namely—that "f Sir Hurcules and the Touchstone—is combined in Maroro, in fact not to bo lost sight of by intelligent breeders. Fair Agnes, the d -m of Maroro. has left her mark on the New Zealand Turf, as her foals arc—lH72, Nellie, by Towt >n : 1873, Maroro, by Towton ; 1874, Chokebore, by Dead Shot.
