His feet and legs are of the very best quality, with abundance of bone and hair, and should please most fanciers of weight, quality and action combined. ROYAL GEM has had a most successful show ring career, having gained seven first and three champ|on prizes at the Waikato, Franklin, Auckland and Cambridge shows. His sire is the great champion .stallion, Royal Conqueror, No. 304 N 2.5.8., whose fame as a show-ring horse and a sire of show-ring stock is well known,. Royal Conqueror, sire Crown Pripce; dam Clydesdale. Fancy. ; Crown Prince is by Ihe celebrated Lord Salisbury (imp), dam, Domsel (imp.) Lord Salisbury and Damsel were the most successful representatives of their class and sex ever bro-’ght to the colonies. Lord Salisbury never suffered defeat, and was shown at all the principal Shows in England, Scotland and New Zealand. Damsel \yas over twenty times shown .throughout the same countries, and only once (as a year ling) was she defeated).

Gem, bay mare, sire Rosebery (imp.) 5 ' Ist dam Darling, by Argyle ; g.g-. . dam by Prince Arthur (imp), Gem was bred by the Now Zealand Stud Co. ■ She is by the really grandly bred stallion, Rose bery, wbih they imported from Scotland at a very high price. He was a prize winner at the best shows in Scotland, inolu liDg 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 successes 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.

No. 562, N.Z.8.8. 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, including champions won at Auckland and Waikato Shows. His breeding is undeniable, being got by Benmore, No. 302, dnm—Christina F. McCormick No. 663 Ben More 302 was a well-known champion in his time he won nearly fifty first and champion prizes in Australia and New Zealand, and was the sire of many first-clasß horses.

Royal Maid, No. 1036 was got by Royal Conqueror, No. 304. dam— Gourifl Mai 1, No, 666. Royal Conqueror No. 304 was one of the most popular and successful sires of bis 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 ) reeding and quality in lur offspring. She lias never suffered defeat in class for mare and progeny. Roval Maid has won prizes as a filly in good company and has been one nf two horse teams and also of •luee horse teams with great success. She has b«en a consistent and successful breeder.

Ben McDlm, who is a nice dark bay in colour, with particularly good markings, gave great promise of following the show ring feats of his ancestors, but owing to an accident met with in his yourh he has never been shown. He shows immense power combined with gO'<d quality and soundness from any hereditary in ections, and his breeding should insure his success as a sire, as < verj' strain on cither side of his lineage is of the best, and to "Dumera'e the prizes won by them wou'd fill a volume. His pedigree could be extended to an indefinate length, ns General Fleming, 305 •, Crown Prince, 430; Young Banker, I ; Lord Salisbury (imp.), 114 ; and many more names of woll-known champions appear in tracing his breeding; so it will be passing strange if Ben McDhu docs not prove a profit able atq'uisition to draught horso breedeis who may use him.
