ERSKINE is a very superior well-bred bay horse of the very best quality, and true type of the Clydesdale breed, standing 1G hands 3'/o inches high, lie is a very massive horse, with clean Hat bones, strong, well-formed joints, beautiful long silky liaiv, and grandlyformed round feet of good quality, with line broad hoof heads. He lias a beautiful head, 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 chat can be desired. Altogether ho is a most compactly-built, well-put-toge-thev specimen of a draught horse. Lord Erskine was bred by J. S. Holmes of Awamoa, Oama.ru, and is by the imported sire "Sandy Erskine," who is the sire of the well-known champion mare, "Lady Erskine"—owned by A. Alexander, Esq., Normanby, Taranaki—the dam of the champion two-year-old colt, Marcellus, recently purchased by VV. Taylor, Esq., Te Awamutu, at the record price of 750 guineas.

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 vety best blood of good breeding Btrains, 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-elass merit. In 1006 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), and 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.
