AEMADALJi STUJJ, OICAIAWA, TAIIANAIvI, N.Z. TO FT AND THIS SEASON, The Champion Clyficadale Sta-iUon, LORD ERSKINE KUSKINE is a very superior v/ell-bred bay horse of the very \>csi quality, and true type of the Clydesdal. lilted, standing 1G hands 3 1 / a inciies high. He is a very massive horse, with clearfiat boncsj strong, well-formed joints, beautiful long silky hair, and grandly formed round feet of good quality, wit) line broad ho:>f heads, lie has a beauti ful head, and eyes characteristic oj courage and endurance, a good neck am' crest, well-sprung ribs, remarkably gooo loin 3 and strong short-coupled back. Ilis aetion, both ut the walk and trot, is all that can be desired. Altogether he i. a most compactly-built, well-put-togr ther specimen of a draught horse. Lord Erskine was bred by J. S Holmes of Awamoa, Oamaru, and is h"* the imported sire "Sandy ISrskine," who is the sire of the well-known champio.' mare, "Lady Erskine" —owned by A. Alexander, ]2sq., Nonnpiiby, Taranaki — the dam of the champion two-year-old colt, Marcellus, recently purchased by W. Taylor, Esq., Te Awamutu, at the ecord price of 750 guineas. Lord Erskiue's Dam, Pearl 11., is by the famous sire, Crown Prince grand dam Sapphire, dam of Accountant, inner of numerous first prices $ this mare has only been beaten by her stable companion's great grand dam, Pearl, a mare specia'Jy selected by the late J. B. Blair, and imported 011 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. Ilis show ring successes prove him to be hoi*3e of individual high-class merit.

In 1906 he gained the following awards: At Ashburton, first and champion; at the International Show, Christchurch, second prize and reserve champion, also first prize for beat 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 SOO guineas by F. A. Bremer, of Okaiawa, Taranaki, from Mi Robt. Clarke, Kosemeath Stud, Ashbur ton.
