His feet and lpgs 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 gaiued seven first and three champion prizes at the Waikato, Franklin, Auckland and Cambridge shows. His sire is the groat champion stallion, Royal Couquoror, No. 304 NZ. 5.8., whose fame as a show-ring horflo and a sire of show-ring stock is well known. Royal Conqueror, sire Crown Prince ; dam Clydesdale Fancy. Crown Prince is by the celebrated; Lord Salisbary(imp), dam, Domsel (imp.) Lord Salisbury and Damsel werethe most successful representatives of their class and sex ever bro-ight to the colonies.

Damsel was over twenty times shown throughout the same countries, and only once (as a year ling) was she defeated). j * ~

Gem, bay mare, sire Eosebery (imp.); Ist dam Darling, by Argyle ; g.g dam by Prince Arthur (imp), Gem wus 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, including 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 fanners. 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.

TO stand at Te Aroha West this coming season and travel the surrounding districts BEN HcDHU . 1 ,• 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 hand' some sound show ring horse. He won many prizes, including cham- ; pinns won at Auckland and Waika'o 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 time he won. nearly fifty first and champion prizes in Australia and New Zealand, and was the sire of many firsNclase horses. Christina F.

Royal Maid, No. 1036 was got by Royal Conqueror, No. 304. dam—Gourie Maid, No, 666. < h

Royal Conqueror No. 304 was one of the moat popular and successful sires of »is time in. the Waikato both as a slow ring horse and a sire. Gourie Maid, No. 666, is one of the beat brood mares in the Waikato at the present, both aa to consistency in breeding and quality in her offspring. She has never suffered defeat in class for in are and progeny. Royal Maid has won prizes as a filly n good eompany and has been one of two h«>ise teams and also of three horse teams with great success. She has been a consistent and successful breeder. Ben McDlm, who is a nice dark bay in colour, with particularly good marking-, gave great promise of following the show ring feats of bis ancestors, but owing to an accident met with in his youth he baa never been shown. He shows immense power combined with good quality and soundness from any hereditary in ections, and his bleeding sh- uld insure his success as a sire, > s < very s'lain on < ither side of Ids lineage i- of the best, and* .to oi.timeifl'e the. prizes won by them vou'd fill a volume, Ilis pedigree could be extended to ari in efiuate length, mb Generul Fleming, 305 •, Crown Trinee, 430; Young Banker, [;; Lord Salisbury (imp.;, 1M ; and many more names of well-known «h mpions appear in tiacing his breed - ing ; so it will be passing strange if Ben McDhu does not prove a profitib'o acquisition to draught horse breedeia’who may use him. - Also, * The well-known draught atalli m, CHIEF COMMANDER By Field Marshall— Lady Sovereign TERMS—Single Mare, £3 10s ; two or more £3.each. £2 to be paid at the end of the season and the balance if mare proves in foal. 1 < Owners at time of service held responsible for mares sold,or exchanged.
