AP.MAHATiW a'i'UD, OKAIAWA, TARANAKL NX TO WAND THIS SEASON, Tbo Champion u .. .><iale Stallion, 10BD EitxQNE JjOED ERSIiINE is a very superior well-bred bay horaa of the very best quality, aud true type of the Clydesdal. breed, standing 10 hands 3% incncs high, lie is-a very m«aaive horse, with clean flat bones, strong, well-formed joints, beautiful long *ilky hair, and g&uidiyformed round feet of good quality, witli fine broad ho»f heads. He has a beautiful head, and eyes characteristic or courage and endurance, a good neck and crest, well-sprung Tibs, remarkably good loins and strong short-coupled bajk. His action, both at the walk and trot, Is all that can be desired. Altogether ho is a most compactly-built, weli-pat-toge-ther specimen of a draught horse: Lord Erskine was bred by if. S. Holmes of Awarnoa. Oamaru, and is by the imported Biro "Sandy Erskine," who is the sire of the well-known champion rnaro, "Lady Erskine"—owned by A. Alexander, Esq., Normsjiby, Tartmski—the dam of the champion two-year-old colt, Marcellus, recently purchased by W. Taylor, Esq., Te Awamutu, at tho record price of 750 guineas. Lord Erskine's Dam, Pearl 11., is by tho famous sire, Crown Prince, grand dam Sapphire, dam of AccuunUni, inner of numerous fust prizes'; this mare has only been beaten by her Btable companion's great grand dam, Pearl, a mare specially selected by the late J. B. Blair, and iin- . ported 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 1906 he gained the following awards: At Asliburton, firet 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 Btallion (Shire or Clydesdale) by an imported eire, 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 hftyf Bobt. Clarke, Roaemeath Stud, Ashburton.

COUNT BELDEN is a handsome brigut bay with black points, beautiful conformation, and stands 17 hands high, with a most docile temper, while his breeding is undeniable, being closely related to the great American mare Maud S. (2.814). A reference to Ms breeding will show him to be a very high-class stallion, and he is related to most of the best trotters in America. Judge Belden (imp.) was iir«d by Elmo (1891), time 2,17; first dam, Pfentus, by Niagara, time 2.15, sire of Fairmount, time 2.22, and Fanny Maker, 2.15; g dam of the great American mare Maud S., time (high-wheeled 2.8%; Elmo, sire Como, time 2.28%; Alfred, sire Como, time 2.21; Elma; sire Como, time 2.24; T.

Mohawk (604), the sire of Elmo, time 2.12; was also the sire of Clark's Mohawk, time 2.25; and in turn the sire of Yellow Dock, time 2.11, many others with 2.30 records. Judge Belden, sire of Count Belden, was sold with a public trial of 2.17, and was 'the most handsome stallion that ever left America. At the Royal Agricultural Show, Sydney, N.S.W., he gained First and Champion Prizes thret years in succession. Judge Belden (imp.) is the sire of Bellman, winder of the Auckland Trot, Canterbury Victoria Handicap, and Progressive Handicap in 1898, and the Auckland Electric rot in 1897. Duke C., out of the same dam as Count Belden (imp.), won Epsbm Trot of two miles, time 5.7%; June Handicap and Glasgow Trot, at Auckland. COUNT BELDEN cannot be beaten for getting Carriage Horses and Hackneys of the right stamp, as his size and breeding must prevail in leaving good stock and fast trotters. Countess, dam of Count Belden, and sire's pedigree are as follows:—Countess -by Echo (462) son of Rydks; Hambletonia% —from Nita, by Sawel's Hambletonian—from Betsy Austin, by Montreal, a Canadian pacer.
