TO TRAVEL THIS SEASON IN TE AROHA, PAEROA, & THAMES DISTRICTS. The Celebrated Trotting Stallion BALDERDASH. Balderdash is by Houser from Mischief (one of the best trotters New Zealand has produced, and whose victories on the,track in Wanganui, Christchurch, and Dunedin are too well known to need comment). Balderdash is a dark, dapple chestnut, possessing rare bone and muscle, with the very best of action, and beautiful tamper,. As a performer he has shown.that for style and speed he has few < qua s, having in one day on the New Brighton course won the Maiden Trot (two miles), and the Three-mile Saddle Trot, finishing up by running second in a field-of sixteen in the Two-mile Trot. At the Rangiora Autumn Meeting he won the Two-mi e Trot, and at the Christchurch Show lie was winning the Two-mile Trot easy when his girth broke and he was pu'led up. In March, 1892, at the Onslow Trotting Club’s meeting, though just having finished a big season at the stud, and only trained about a fortnight, he ran unplaced in the Threemile Saddle Trot, but finished a go >d second in the Wheel Race from scratch after getting badly away. In March, 1894, at the Otabuhu ' Trotting Club’s meeting, be won the Two mile Harness Trot ea«y, In the Show Ring he has taken First Pr ze every time that lie has been shown, last time (1893) winning the special prize cup and beating the English horse Perfection (imp), winner of over 20 first and champion prizes, and never before beaten. He has also been twice second and once highly commended for carriage sire. Balderdash’s dam Mischief by Young Dioinedes, sire of Victor (who lias a Threemile record iu the saddle of 8 min li sec.) out of The Widow (imp ,) Norfolk Trotter. Besides having gained a number of prizes as a carriage mare, she has produced a number of fust horses, among them being Moonlight, who left the eoion\, holding the record then of 8 min 8 s-e, and Spider who at present holds the tlire- »mile saddle r- cord for New Zealand of 7 min 59 secs. Rouser, by Messenger (imp.) from Kate O’Shane, is one of the most successful sires of jumping and trotting horses in Canterbury, lie is also full brother to Tam O’Shanter, a horse that holds more first prizes for getting carriages horses than any horse in New Zealand, Balderdash’s young stock have already won several trotting races in Canterbury, one of them (Stockholm) putting the two miles behind her in 5 min 27 sec. It will thus be seen that Balderdash, both from breeding and performances, possesses rare credentials to recominenrt Him to the use of breeders of roadsters, hunting or carriage stock of any kind.
