X’O stand at Te Aroha West this 1 . coming season and travel the surrounding districts BEN McDHU No. 562, N.Z.8.8. Sire Ben McCormick, 'No, 434, dam Royal Maid, No. 1036. Ben McCormick 434, was a most successful stallion, a , sire of really good stock and a|most handsome sound show ring horse. He won many prizes, includ - ing champions won at Auckland and Waikato Shows; His breeding is undeniable, being got by Benmere, No. 302, dam—Christina F. McCoimick No. 663 Ben More 302 was a well'known champion in his time ; he won nearly fifty first and champion prizes in Australia and New Zealand, and-was tbe eire i of many first-class horses, Christina F. McCormick was one of the very best mares in every sense of the word that ever graced Waikato, and she won many championships at Oainaru, Auckland, and Waikato. Royal Maid, No. 1036 was got by Royal Conqueror, No. 304. dam—Gouria Maid, No, 666. Royal Conqueror No. 304 was one of the most popular and successful sires of his time-in the Waikato both as a show ring horse and a sire. Gourie Maid, No. 666, is one of the | j best brbodmaresin.the Waikato at the" preeehtj 'both as to consistency in Arid quality;in her offspring. Sheihas-ncver suffered defeat in class r foirmar© and-progeny. | Royal Maid has won prizes as a filly dm good company and has been one of two, horse teams and also of three horse teams with great successt She has been a consistent and'successful breeder."

: Ben McDhu, who is a nice darkbay in colour, with particularly good markings* gave: great' promise of following .the show ring feats of his ancestors; but owing to an accident’ met with in his youth he has never been shown! He shows immense power combined with good quality and soundness froirl any hereditary inlections,: and his breeding should insure his success as a sire, as every strain on either side of his lineage is of the best,: and td enumerate . the prizes \ won by them would fill a volume. His pedigree could be extended to an indefinate length, as General Fleming, 305 •, Grown Prince, 430; Young Banker, 1; Lord Salisbury (imp,), 114 ; and many more names of well-known champions appear in tracing his breeding ;sq it i iwillbe passing strange if Ben- McDhu does not prove a profitable - acquisition to. drat ght horse breeders who may use him.
