BEN McDHD

No. 562, N.Z.S-B. 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 agmost handsome sound show ring horse. He won many prizes, including champions won at Auckland and i 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 Uue, 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. dam—Gouria Maid; NO/G66. Royal Conqueror No. 304 was one of the most popular and successful sires of his time iy the Waikato both as a show ring horse and a sire. Gourie Maid, No. 666, is one of the

best brood maies 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 markings, gave great promise of following the show ring feats of his ancestors, but owing to an accident met with in his youth be has never been shown. He shows immense power combined with good quality and soundness from 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 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.), 114; and many more names of well-known champions appear in tracing his breeding ; so it will be passing strange if Ben McDhu does not prove a profitable acquisition to dr;-.<.ght horse breeders who may use him.
