TARANAKX N.Z. 10 STAND THIS SEASON, The Champion Clydesdale Stallion, ERSKINE, jTOKD ERSKINE is a very superior well-bred bay horse of the very, best quality, and true type of the Clydesdale lie is a very massive horse, with clean u Hat bones, strong, well-formed joints, beautiful long silky hair, and grandly- J formed round feet of good quality, with p line broad hoof heads. He has a beautiful head, and eyes characteristic ot courage and endurance, a good neck and crest, well-sprung ribs, remarkably good p loins and strong short-coupled back.

B. Blair, and im- [ ported on account of the late Hon. Matthew Holmes. From the foregoing it 5 will be seen that Lord Erskine is de- . seeuded from the very best blood of good 5 breeding strains, and he is certain to j prove a getter of the best type of . Clydesdales.
