He is a very massive horse, with clean flat bones, strong, well-formed joints, beautiful long silty hair, and grandlyformed round feet of good quality, with line broad hoof heads. He has a beautiful bead, and eyes characteristic ot courage and endurance, a good neck and crest, well-sprung ribs, remarkably good loins and strong short-coupled back. His action, both at the walk and trot, is all that can be desired. Altogether he is a moat compactly-built, well-put-toge-ther specimen of a draught horse. Lord Erskine was bred by J. S. Holmes of Awamoa, Oamaru, and is by the imported sire "Sandy Erskine," who ii 3 the Sire Of the Wfill-lrnnwn lOmmninn are, "Lady Erskine"—owned by A.

Taylor, Esq., Te Awamutu, at the record price of 750 guineas. ■ I Lord Erskine's Dam, Pearl H., is by the famous sire, Crown Prince, grand dam Sapphire, dam of Accountant, winner of numerous first prizes; this mare has only been Tieaten by her stable companion's great grand dam, Pearl, a mare specially selected by the late J. B. Blair, and imported on account of the late Hon. Matthew Holmes. 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 International Show, Christchurch, second prize and reserve champion, also first prize for best stallion in the walking competition (beating the champion stallion Pride of Newton), ard first prize for Lord Rothschild's silver bowl for the best Colonial-bred stallion (Shire or Clydesdale) by an imported sire, thus gaining the highest number of awards at the Show.
