He has a beautiful head, aud eyes characteristic ot courage and endurance, a good neck and crest, well-sprung ribs, remarkably good loins and strong short-eoupled back. His action, both at the walk aud trot, is all that can be desired. Altogether he is a most conipictly-built, well-put-toge-ther specimen of a draught horse. I Lord Erskine was bred by J. S. H„1,.,„0 nl Imnuvi Hnnrii nnrl w I.V the imported sire sandy Erskine, who is the sire of the well-known champion mare, "Lady Erskine"—owned by A. colt, Marccllus, recently purchased by \V. Taylor, Esq., Te Awamutu, at the record price of 750 guineas. Lord Erskine's Dam, Pearl 11., ia by the famous sire, Crown Prince, grand dam Sapphire, dam of Accountant, winner of numerous first prizes; this mare haa only been beaten by her stable companion's great grand dam, Pearl, a mare specially selected by the late J.

From the foregoing it will be seen that Lord Erskine is descended from the very best blood of good breeding strains, and he is certain to prove a getter of the best type of Clydesdales. His show ring successes prove him to be a horse of individual high-class merit. In 1906 he gained the following awards: At Ashburton, first and champion; at the Intcrnatijnal Show, Christchurch, second prize and reserve champion, also first prize for best stallion in the walking competition (beating the champion stallion Pride of Newton), and first prize for Lord Kothsehild's Bilver bowl for the best Co'onial-bred stallion (Shire or Clydesdple) by an imported sire, thus gaining the highest number of awards at the Show.
