Maraiihl /AWNF.R9 of really gnorl mares shoul I not loss ” Eight 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 l quality of Bone nnd Substance equal, If not superior, to anything y-t bred in x cw Zealand. In 187 G Maroro was selected by his hreo‘er (Mr. H. Red woo I, of Spring Creek. Blenheim) to > epresent his colors for the • unedin up of that year and notwithstanding that two Victorian horses and all the Now Zealand cracks were amongst the entries, was at O'>ce installed flr-*t favourite ; and Lu for a very severe passage, owing to bad weather prevailing no doubt coul i be entertained but that h« would have won the great event.

In 1877, as a fonr-.rear-old, MARORO was exhibited in Bbnheim, and received the F ! RST PRIZE as the Best Thorough''red Stallion on the ground. A glance at ''aroro’s Pedigree is sufficient to show that a nmre purely bred animal has never yet had his services tendered in Poverty Bay. Kenehn, corrcsponde t < f the “ Australasian," writing from Christchurch on Juno 29th last, says “ In the well-sheltered anti grassy paddock, which has been the early home of so many animals whose names arc 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 F«ir Agnes, and who, according to his owner’s acc ;unt, wa- one of the stoutest and spe' diest anim-Is he ever had work. He was, owing to a series of accid, nts unsuccessful on the turf but judging from the appearance of his stock, whi It 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 hr Melbourne—Pinezella by Touchstone. (Towton’s full si ter Marchioness and half-brother Marquis distingui h d themselves ■ n the Engli-h Turf, us the former won the Oaks and the lat'er 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 “nick of blood ” which has in Australia been eve so «ucce sful namely—that <•£ Sir Hurcules and the Touchstone—is combined i«> 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—lB72, Nellie, by Towt >n : 1873, Maroro, by Towton ; 1874, Chokebore, by Dead Shot.
