TO stand at Te Aroha West this coming season and travel the surrounding districts BEN No. 562, N.Z.8.8. Sire Ben McCormick. No. 434, dam Boyal Maid, No. 1036. Ben McCormick 434, was a most successful stallion, a sire of really good ptock and a|most 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*knowo champion in his tine; 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. Boyal Maid, No. 1036 was got by Boyal Conqueror, No. 304. dam—Gourie Maid, No, 666. Royal Conqueror No. 304 was one of the most popular and successful sires lof his time in the Waikato both as a I 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. Boyal Maid has won prizes as a filly in good company and has been One of two horse teams and also of i 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 bis 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 infections, and . his breeding should insure his success as a sire, ad 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. drt-.ight horse breeders whb may use him.
