ROYAL GEM stands about hands high, is a bay with black points ; a very massive, evenly built horse with beautiful style of carriage and action at walk or trot that cannot be beat. His feet and legs are of the very best quality, with ibundance 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 champion stallion, Royal Conqueror, No. 304 N.Z.5.8., whose fame as a show-ring horse 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 Salisbury (imp), dam, Domsel (imp.) Lord Salisbury and Damsel were the most successful representatives of their class and sex ever brought |to the colonies. Lord Salisbury never suffered defeat, and was shown at all the 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, 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 fanciers. She has a most successful show ring list set to her credit, having won in good company, and her success a'S 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.

BEN MoCORMICK 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.

Royal Conqueror No. 304 wa« one of the most popular and successful sires of his time in the Waikato both as a show ring horse and a siie. Gomio Maid, No. 660, is one of thp best brood mares in th° Waikato at thepietmt, both as to consistency in breeding and quality in lor offspring. She has never mi ei>-<! defeat in class for mare and progeny.

B> n McDhu, who is a nice dark bay in colour, with particularly pood markings gave great 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 immense power combined with good qioi'ity and soundiKS* fr m any hereditarv in ection*, and his breeding should insure his success as a sire, as even- sjnin i n fit her side of bis linpage i <•(' th<* best , a 1 to 9nutneia e the piiz-s won hx ’hem wou d fill a xoiuiue. nis | c igree could be extei.di d to an in ■ finate leng'b, as General Flenrng, 305 •, Crown Prince, 430; Young Banker, I ; Lord Salisbury (imp.), 1M ; and many more names of well-known ch mpions appear in tracing his breed - ing; so it will be passing strange if Sen McDhu does not prove a profitab'e acquisition to draught In use breeders who may use him.
