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 champion prizes at the Waikato, Franklin, Auckland and Cambridge shows. His sire is the great chamirion stallion, Royal Conqueror, No. 304 NZ. 5.8., i whose fame as a show-ring horse and a | sire of show-ring stock is well known. I Royal Conqueror,' sire Crown Prince ; dam Clydesdale Fancy. Crown Prince is by the celebrated Lord Salisbury (imp), dam, Domsel (imp.) Lord Salisbury and Damsel were the most successful represen-, tatives of their class and sex ever brought to the colonies. Lord Salisbury never suffered defeat, and was shown at all tne prineipal Shows in England, Scotland and New Zealand. Damsel was over twenty times shown throughout the same countries, and only once (as a year ling) was she defeated). Gem, bay mare, sire Rosebery (imp.); 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, Rose • bery, 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 Wal°s. Gem’s lineage on the dam’s side is also first-dass, going into the Prince Arthur (im]).) strain, so much favoured with Waikato horse fan hers. 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 riug 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 IcDHU 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, including champions wod 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 time he won nearly fifty first and champion prizes in Australia and New Zealand, and was the sire of many firsNclass 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 Main, No. 666, is one of the best brood mares in the Waikato at the present, both as to consistency in breeding and quality in lur offspring. She ]i;;,h never suffered defeat in class for man* and progeny. Royal Maid has won prizes as a filly in good company and has been one of two hoi so teams and also of three horse teams with great success. She has been a consistent and successful bn efier. Ben McDliu, who is a nice dark baj' in colour, with particularly good markings, gave groat 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 immenso povvor combined with good quality and soundness from any hereditary in ections, and his bleeding should insure his success as a sire, as r very- strain on cither side of his lineage is of the best , and to enumerate the prizes won by them vvou'd fill a volume. 11 is pedigree could be extended to an indefinate length, as General Fleming, 305 -, Crown Prince, 430; Young Banker, l ; Lord Salisbury (imp.), 114; and many more names of well-known eh- mpinns appear in tracing his breedmy ; so it will be passing strange if Hen McDhu does not prove a prob - able acquisition to draught horse hreedeis who may use him.
