His action, both at the walk and trot, is all that can be desired. Altogether he is a most compactly-built, well-put-toge-thcr specimen of a draught horse. Lord Erskine was bred by J. S.

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 typo of Clydesdales. His show ring successes prove him to be a horse of individual high-clas3 merit. In 1000 lie gained the following awards: At Ashburton. first and champion; at the International Show, Christchurch, second prize and reserve champion, also first prh:e 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.
