TO stand at Te Aroha West this coming season and travel the surrounding districts BEN McDHO

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 ajmost 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 Benmore, No. 302, dam—Christina F. McCor-

wick 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 firsNclass 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 Waikatc. BoyalMaid, No. 1036 was

got by Koyal 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 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 three horse teams with great success. She has been a consistent and successful breeder. Ben McDhu, who is a nice dark bay in colour, with particularly good marking*, gave great promise of following the show ring feats of his ancestors, but owing to an accident met with in his youth he haß 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 bis lineage is of the best, and to enumerate the prizes won by them woti'd 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.), 114; and many more names of well-known, champions appear in traoing his breeding; so it will be passing strange if Ben McDhu does not prove a profitable acquisition to dr.ight horse breeders who may use him.
