TO TRAVEL THIS SEASON IN TE AROHA, PAEROA, & THAMES DISTRICTS. The Celebrated Trotting Stallion BALDERDASH. . Balderdash is by Rouser from Mischi f (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 temper. As a performer he has shown that for style and speed be lias few < qna's, having in one day on the New Brighton course won the Maiden Trot (two miles), and the Three-mile Raddle Trot, finishing up by running second in a field of sixteen in the Two-mile Trot. At the liangiora Autumn Meeting he won the Two-mi e Trot, and at the Christchurch Show he was winning the Twomiile Trot easy when his girth broke and he was puMed 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 good second in the Wheel Race from scratch after getting badly away. In March, 1894, at the Otahuhn Trotting Club’s meeting, be w'on the Two mile Harness Trot easy, In the Show Ring lie has taken First Prize every time that life 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 priz -s, and never heft re beaten. He lias also been twice second and once highly commended, for carriage sire. . Balderdash’s dam Mischief by Young Di -modes, sire of Victor (wlm lias a Threeini’e record in the sad lie of 8 min 11 sec.) out of The W idow (imp ,) Norfolk Trotter. Besides having gained a number of prizes as a cirriago mare, she has produced a number of fust bor es, among them being Moonlight, who-left the colony, holding the record then of 8 min 8 s e, and bpider who at present holds the tlircsmiJe saddle r cord for New Zealand of 7 min 59 secs. Rouser, by Messenger (imp.) from Kate O’Rhane, s one of' the most successful I sires of jumping and tiotting horses in Canterbury. He is also full brother to Tam O’Riiauter, a horse that holds more first piizes for getting carriages horses [ than i'liv Inis * in New Z ’aland. | Balderdash's youngstock have already wiiii several ti'"tting races in Canterbury, one of them (Stockholm) putting the twp miles behind her in 5 min 27 sec. It will thus be seei. that Balderdash, both from breeding and performances, possesses rare credentials to recommend him to the use of breeders of roadsters, hunting or carriage stock of any kind.
