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 Aew Zealand. In 1876 Maroro was selected by his hree icr (Mr, H. Redwood, of Spring Creek, Blenheim) to represent his colors for the Dunedin up of that year, and notwithstanding that two Victorian horses nnd all the New Zealand cracks were amongst tho entries, was at once installed flr-t favourite ; and but for a very severe passage, owing to bad weather prevailing, no doubt could he entertained but that he would have won the great event. In 1877, as a fonr-year-old, MARORO was exhibited in Blenheim, and received the F*RST PRIZE as the Best Thoroughbred Stallion on the ground. A gla> ce at Maroro’s Pedigree is sufficient to sho’-v that a more purely bred animal has never yet had his services tendered in Poverty Bay. Kenelm, corresponded 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 Ze-land turf, was a group five yearlings, three of whom were by Maroro, the son of Towton and Fair Agnes, and who, according to bis owner’s account, wa-one of the stoutest and spe-'diest animals he ever had in 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 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 ’mis. 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. 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 successful, namely—that of Sir Hurcules and the Touchstone—is combined in Maroro, in fact not to be lost sight of bv intelligent breeders. Fair Agnes, the dam of Maroro, has left her mark on the New Zealand Turf, as her foals are—lB72, Nellie, by Towton ; 1873, Maroro, by Towton ; 1874, Chokebore, by Dead Shot.
