She has a must 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.

No. 1036. j BEN McCORMIOK 434, was’ a most successful stullion, a sire oi really go->d st> ck acd a most hand' s ime sound show ring hprsp. He ( won many prizes, including Cham- | pions 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 tin e he won nearly fifty first and champion prizes in Australia and New Zealand, and was the sire of many fireNolass 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. Royal Maid, No. 1036 was got by Royal Conqueror,; No. 304. dam—Gourie Maid, 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 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 marp 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. •

Ben MeDhu, who is a nice dark bay in colour, with particularly {food mark* i n g q j gave preat promise of following the show ring feats of his ancestors, but owing fo an accident met with in his youth he has never been shown. He shows immense power combined with good quality and soundness from any hereditarv in ections, and his breeding should insure his success as a sire, us 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, II 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 MeDhu does not prove, a profitable acquisition to draught diorse breedeis who may use him.
