Ist dam Darling, by Argyle ; g.g dam by Prince Arthur (imp), Gem was bred by the New Zealand Stud Co. She is by the really grandly bred stallion, Rosebery, whih they imported from Scotland at a very high price. He was a prize winner at the best shows in Scotland, inclu ling the Highland Society, and was sired by the renowned Prince of Wales.

Gem’s lineage on the dam’s side is also first-class, going into the Prince Arthur (imp.) strain, so much favoured with Waikato horse fan ners.

She has a most successful show ring list set to her credit, having won in good company, and her success as a brood mare has been phenomenal, both as to number and quality. Almost every one of her many foals have been show ring successes, and she can be certainly termed one of the • very best of New Zealand’s matrons.

Royal Maid, No. 1036 was got by Royal Conqueror, No. 304. dam—Gouris Mai I, 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 siie. Gourie Maid, No. 666, is one cf the

best brood mares in the Waikato at the present, both as to consistency in breeding and quality in her offspring. She has never sut T ered defeat in class for mare and progenj'.

His pedigrob could be extended to an indefinate length, as General Fleming, 305 •, Crown Prince, 430 ; Young Banker, t; Lord Salisbury (imp.), 114; and many more names of well-known eh- m pious appear in tracing his breedin?; so it wi’l be passing strange if Ben McDliu does not prove a profitable acquisition to draught horse breedeis who may use him.
