No. 562, N.Z.8.8. Sir© Ben McCormick. No. 434, dam Royal Maid, No. 1036. Ben McCormick 434, was a most successful

! staliiotij a sire of really good ptock and a|most handsome sound show ring horse. He won many prizes, include | ing 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 chain*, pionships at Oamaru, Auckland, and Waikato. Boyal Maid, No. 1036 was got by Boyal Conqueror, No. 304.

dam— Gouris 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 v sire.

Gourie Maid, No. 666, is one of the beet 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 been a consistent and success* ful breeder. ; BenjMcDhu, who is a nice dark bay in colour, with particularly good markings, gave great promise of following the, show iring 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 1 any hereditary infections, 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 1 enumerate the prizes won by them a would .fill a volume. His pedigree ( could 'be extended to an indefinate " length, as General Fleming, 305; c Crown Prince, 430; Young Banker, s 1; Lord Salisbury (imp.), 114 ; and c 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 drmght horse breeders who may use him#. / o t I 1 V
