CHICAGO

Wairarapa breeders are notified elsewhere that the standard-bred trotting stallion Chicago will be at their service during the present season. This popular sire is from the celebrated Berlin stock, and is therefore related to the principal champion trotters in the Australasian colonies. Chicago's stock have proved a remarkably useful lot and as a consequence Mr Dagg's horse ia much sought after for breeding general utility horses as well as for the trotting track. Chicago is located at the owner's farm, Upper Plain. BENMORE DEAN. Particulars of the pedigree of this horse will be found in another column of this issue. On perusal it will be found that Benmore Dean is from a great race of Clydesdales, his sire (Benmore) and dam (Jeannie Dean) have been remarkably successful in the show ring, and their stock have proved splendid workers. The owner, Mr R. J. Wilson, Ihuraua, will supply fullest particulars on application.
