TO stand at Te Aroba West this coining season and travel the surrounding districts BEN McDHO No. 562, N.Z.8.8. Sire Ben McCormick. No. 434, dam I Royal Maid, No. 1036. I BEN McCORMICK 434, wan a most successful stallion, a sire of really good stock and a most hand* sound show ring horse. He. won many prizes, including oham** pions won at Auckland and Waikato Shows. His breed’ng is undeniable, being got by Benmore, No. 302, dam—Christina F. McCormick No. 663. Ben More 302 was a well«knQwn champion'in his time he won nearly fifty first and champion prizes in Australia and Ntw Zealand, and was the sire of many firsNclass horses. Christina F.

Ben McDhu, who is a nice dark haj r in colour, with particularly {rood markings, gave groat pr> mise 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 go til quality and soundness fr- m any ar* in ecfion*, and his breed ng sin u'd insuie his succes- as a tiro, ; s eveiy stain i n • it her side of bis lineage is of the best , and to eiiumein e the piiz-s won by them wou’d fill a volume. His pedigre could he extended to an indefiuate leng’h, ns General Fleming, 305 •, Crown Prince, 430; Young Banker, i; Lord Salisbuiy (imp.), IM ; and mail}' more names of w?ll kiwwn ch mpi'tns appear in tracing hie breeding ; so it wiil be passing strange if Ben McDhu does not prove a profitable acquisition to draught horse breedeis who may use him.
