# f TO stand, at' Te , Aroha West • this •coming season and travel the surrounding districts , BEN McDHD No. &62, N.Z.8.8i Sire Ben McCormick, No, 434, dam Royal Maid, -No. 1036. Ben McCord mick 434, was a most successful stallion, a sire of really good stock and almost handsome sound show ring horse. He won many prizes, including champions won at Auckland, and Waikato Shows. His •breeding' is undeniable, being got by Benmore, No. 302, dam—Christind F. McCormick No. 663 Ben More 302 was a well-known champion in his tune; 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 ve; y best mares in every sense of the word that ever graced Waikato, find she won many championships at Oamaru, Auckland,cand Waikato. Royal Maid, No. 1036 was got by Royal Conqueror, No. 304. dam— Gouria Maid, No, 666. ■ Royal Conqueror No. 304 was one of the most popular ,and successful sires ofhis time in the Waikato both as a show ring horse and a, site. Gourie Maid, No. 666, is one of the betft 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. 1

Ben McDhu, who is a nice dark bay , in colour, with particularly pood mark*. 1 ings, gave great promise of following the. showering feats of his ancestors, buij oyying anuecident met with in *. his youth he has never been shown. He shows immense-power combined i with good quality and soundness from Jhereditary inlectiottSi -and his breeding should insure hie success as 'a sire, as every strain on either side of his' lineage is of the beat, 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 y 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 .Vght horse I breeders who may use him.
