TO stand at Te Aroha West this ■ coming season and travel the surrounding districts BEN fcDHO : 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 a most handsome sound show ring horse. He won many prizes, inclu 1 ing champions won at Auckland and Waikato Shows. His brooding is undeniable, being got by Benmore, No. 302, dam—Christina F. McCormick No. 663. B-n More 302 was a ! well-known champion inhistine. he J won nearly fifty first and champion j prizes in Australia and New Zealand, ind was the sire of many first-c’ass horses. Christina F. McCormick was me of the very best mares in every ense 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—Gourie Maid, No, 666.

Koyal 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 breeding and quality in her offspring. She has never suffered defeat in class for mare and progeny. Koyal 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 marking*, gave great promise of following the show ring 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 any heredi'ary in ections, and h s breeding should insure his a sire, as every si tain wrflffi'er side of his lineage - best, and to prizes won by them wou’d fill a volume. H A s pedigreo could be extended to an inlefinate length, /as General Fleming, 305 •, Crown Prince/ 430 ; Young Banker, j ; Lord Salisbury (imp.), 114; and many more names of well-known ch rnpions appear in tracing his breeding ; so it wiil be passing strange if Ben McDhu docs not prove a profitable acquisition to dr.ight horse breedeis who moy uso him.
