OWNERS of really good mares shoull not loso sight 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 EngMARORO is a beautiful liver-colored Chestnut standing Sixteen hands; and showing a quality of Bono and Substance equal, if not superior, to anything y.t bred in New Zealand. In 1876 Maroro was selected by his breeder (Mr. IT. Rcdwoo •, of Spring Creek, Blenheim) to represent hi- colors for the i linedin ■ 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 bur for a very severe passage, owing to bad weather prevailing, no doubt coul-1 he 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 glance at Maroro’s Pedigree is sufficient to show that a more purely ivcd .animal has never yet had his services tendered in Poverty Bay. Kenchn, corresponde t <-f the “ Australasian,” writing from Christchurch on June 20th last says “In the well-sheltered and grassy paddock, which has been tho 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 by Maroro, the son of Towton and Fair Agnes and who, according to his owner’s acc unt, wa- one of the stoutest and speediest aninv ls he ever had i > work, lie was, owing to a series of accid< nts unsuccessful on the turf but judging from Hw appearance of his stock, whi h I now saw for tho first tune he should prove a good sire, as all his progeny that I came across during my visit showed a lot of quality, and wore, one and all, 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. (Towtm ’s full si-ter Marchioness and half-brother Marquis distingui-h <1 them-elvcs « n the English Turf, us tlv former won the Oaks and the latter ran a desperate second for the Derby, and won tho St Leger.) Fair Agnes by St. *ubyn- Phosbe by Sir Hercules—Woodstock bv 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 Hurculesand the Touchstone—is combined in Maroro in fact not to be lost sight of by int- lligent breeders. Fair Agnes, the <1 m of .Maroro, has left her mark on the New' Zealand T"rf, as her foals are—l« 72, Nellie, by Towtnn: 1873, Maroro, by Towton ; 1874, Chokebore, by Dead Shot.
