AE MAD ALE STUD, OKATAWA, TARANAKI, N.Z. TO PTAND THIS SEASON, Tlie Champion Clyrlesilale Stallion, i OfiD ERSKINE JQOUD ERSKINE is a very superior well-bred bay horse of the very test quality, aud true type of the Clydesdah breed, standing 10 hands 3'/ 3 incnes high. He is a very massive horse, with dean flat bones, strong, well-formed joints, beautiful long silky hair, and grandlyfonned round feet of good quality, with line broad ho jf heads, lie has a beautiful head, and eyes characteristic ol courage and endurance, a good neck and crest, well-sprung ribs, remarkably good loins and strong short-coupled back, ilis 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 bled by J. S. Holnie3 of Awainoa, Oainaru, and is by the imported sire "Sandy Erskine," wlio is the sire of the well-known champio.s marc, "Lady Erskine"—owned by A. Alexander, Esq., Norim'jiby, Taranaki—the dam of the champion two-year-old colt, Marcellus, recently purchased by W. Taylor, Esq., Te Awamutu, at the record price of 750 guineas. Lord Erskine's Dam, Pearl 11., is by the famous sire, Crown l'rince, grand dam Sapphire, dam of Accountant, inner of numerous first prices; this mare has only been beaten by her stable companion's great givnd dam, Pearl, a mare specially selected by the l;\te .1. B. Blair, and imported on account of the late Hon. Mattlirw Holmes. From the foregoing it will Lc 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 190G 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. Lord Erskine was purchased in April, 1907, at a cost of 800 guineas by F. A. Bremer, of Okaiawa, Taranaki, from Mr Robt. Clarke, Rosemeath Stud, Ashburton. The Champion Clydesdale Stallion wiiJ serve a strictly limited number—so—of approved marcs for outside owners for ;he ensuing season. TERMS 8 GUINEAS. Payable on or before Ist January, 1908.
