BEN McDHU

- No. 562, N.Z.S.B. Sire Ben McCormick. No. 434, dam Eoyal Maid, No. 1036. . Ben McCormick 434, was a most successful stallion, a sire of really good ptock and a|moßt 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. McCormick No. 663 Ben More 302 was a well-known champion in his time, he won nearly fifty first ancT champion prizes in Australia and New Zealand, and was the sire of many first-class I 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. Eoyal Maid, No. 1036 was got by Eoyal Conqueror, No. 304. dam—Gouria Maid, No, 666. Eoyal 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 I breeding and quality in her .offspring. 1 She has never suffered defeat in class for mare and progeny. Eoyal 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, i She has been a consistent and successful breeder.

I , Ben McDhu, who is a nice dark bay ' in Colour, with particularly good mark*. ; ;ings, gave great promise of following the show 'ring feats of his ancestors, but owing to an accident met with in bis youth he has never been shown." He allows'immense power combined with good quality and soundness from aqy'hereditary infections, and his breeding should insure his success as a.sire, as every strain on either side of his liheage 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 profita hie acquisition to » dr-.c ght horse breeders who may use him.
