ARMADALE STUD, OXAIAWA. TARANAKI, N.Z. TO WI'AND THIS SEASON, The Champion Clydesdale Sta-Hion, LORD ERSKINE T.ORD ERSKXNIi is a very superior well-bred bay horse of the very best quality, and true type of the Clydesdal breed, standing 16 hands 3'/ 2 inches high He is a very massive horse, with cleat flat bones, strong, well-formed joints beautiful long silky hair, and grandly formed rouud feet of good quality, wit! line broad hoof heads, lie has a beauti ful head, and eyes characteristic o> courage and endurance, a good neck am' crest, well-sprung ribs, remarkably gooc loins and strong short-coupled back. Hii action, both at the walk and trot, is all that can be desired. Altogether he i. a most compactly-built, well-put-tog* ther specimen of a draught horse. Lord Erskine was bred by J. £• Holmes of Awamoa, Oamaru, and is 1" the imported sire "Sandy Erskine," who is the sire of the well-known cbampio.' marc, "Lady Erskine"—owned by A. Alexander, Esq., Nonnnnby, Tarauaki—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 prizes; this marc has only been beaten by her stable companion's great grand dam, Pearl, a mare specially selected by the late J. B. Blair, and imported on account of the late Hon. Jlatthew Holmes. From the foregoing it vill be seen that Lord Erskine is descended from the very best blood of good breeding strains, and he Is certain to I prove a getter of the best type of j Clydesdales. His show ring successes prove him to be a hor3e of individual high-class merit. In 1906 he gained the following awards: At Ashburton, first and champion; at the International Show, Christ church, second prize and reserve chain- | pion, 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 (Shir* or Clydesdale) by nn sire, thus gaining the highest nu awards at the Show. J Lord Erskine was purchased in April, ' 1907, at a cost of 800 guineas by F. A. Bremer, of Okaiawa, Taranaki, from Mi Robt. Clarke, Roscmeath Stud, Ashbur ton. The Champion Clydesdale Stallion wiJ serve a strictly limited number—so— d approved marcs for outside owners for ;hc ensuing season. TERMS 8 GUINEAS. Payable on or Before Ist January, 1008.
