[a . card] Robt. Harris, Established 1882. LAND AGENT and VALUER, Whitaker-street, opposite new Bank N.Z. Properties bought, sold or exchanged. No Sale No Expense Auckland Agent,: J. A. JAMES, 63 o,ueen-st. TO stand at Te Aroha West this coming season and travel the surrounding districts BEN McDHD | No. 562, N.Z.S.B. Sire Ben McCormick. No, 434, dam I Royal Maid, No, 1036. Ben McCor- [ mick 434, was a most successful stallion, a sire of really good ptock ! and ajmost handsome sound show ring horse. He won many prizes, including champions won at Auckland. and Waikato Shows. His breeding is undeniable, being got by Benmore, No. 302, dam—Christina F. McCormick 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 the sire 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 Oamaru, Auckland, and Waikato. Royal Maid, No. 1036 was got by Royal Conqueror, No. 304. danir— Gouri9 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 best brood mares in the Waikato at the present, both as to consistency in breeding and quality in her offspring. She has never suffered defeat in class for mare and progeny. Royal Maid has won prizes as a filly in good company and has been one of two horse teams and also of 1 three horse teams with’ great success. She haß been a consistent and successful breeder.

Ben MeDhu, who is a nice dark bay 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 from any hereditary in.'ections, and his breeding should insure his success as a sire, as every strain on either side of his lineage is of the best, and to enumerate the prizes won by them would fill a volume. His pedigree could be extended to an indefinate length, as General Fleming, 305 •, Crown Prince, 430 ; Young Banker, 1; Lord Salisbury (imp.), 134 ; and many more names of well-known champions appear in tracing his breed - ing; so it will be passing strange if Ben MeDhu does not prove a profitable acquisition to draught horse breeders who may use him.
