TO STAND THIS SEASON, The Champion Clydesdale Stallion, LOKD ft&iULM. well-bred bay horse of the very best quality, and true type of the Clydesdale breed, standing 1U hands 3'/ s iuenes high, He is a very massive horse, with clean flat bones, strong, well-formed joints ; beautiful long silky hair, and grandlyformed round feet of good quality, with line broad hoof heads. lie has a beautiful head, and eyes characteristic courage and endurance, a good neck and crest, well-sprung ribs, remarkably good loins and strung short-coupled back. His action, both at the walk and trot, is all that can be desired. Altogether he is a most compactly-built, well-put-togc-tlier specimen of a draught horse. Lord Erskine was bred by J. S. Holmes of Awamoa, Oarnaru, 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., Nonuanby, Taranaki—the dam of the champion two-year-old colt, Mareellus, recently purchased by W. Taylor, Esq., 'l'e Awamutu, at the record price of 750 guineas. Lord Erskine's Dam, Pearl 11., is by the famous sire, Crown Prince, grand dam Sapphire, dam of Accountant, winner of numerous first prizes; this mare has only been beaten by her stable . companion's great grand dam, Pearl; a mare specially selected by the late J. 13. 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 1900 he gained the following awards: At Ashburton, first and champion; at the International Show, Christ- { church, 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.
