The Stud. TO STAND THIS 'SEASON AT MORRINSVILLE, The Thoroughbred Horse, LEOLANTIS, By Leolinus (imp.)—dam Atlantis (imp) S Leolantis is a cliestnut horse, ten 'd years old, stands about 16 hands 1 inch, and is strongly built in every way and possessed of gr°at muscular power. As a three-year-old Leolantis easily won the Auckland Guineas of 1890, of ISOsovs, one mile, in J.47J, and the same day, one race afterwards, in the Prince of Wales Handicap, one mile and a half, carrying 7st 91b, was just beaten by Cissy, 8?t lib (sister to Trenton), in 2.43 J. In December of the same year, carrying Sst 9lb, ho ran a I close third in the Auckland Railway ■» Handicap: time, 1.16. The same day n he won the Christmas Handicap of 100 ■ • sovs. one mile and a quarter, carrying Sst 31b (as a three-year-old), and beating six othprs; (time, 2 12. Next day Leolantis ran third in the Auckland Derby, and was on'y raced once after that through meeting with a mishap. However, Leolantis during the time he was 0 on the turf proved that he could gallop. This is not to be wondered at when his excellent breeding is taken into consideration. A clance at the following table will qu'ckly disclose that he comes from a splendid family : Pocahontas Giencoe | Marpessa Orlando Touchstone I Vulture Lady of Sil- Velocipede verkeld Well Emma H. Clinker Conius Clinkerina Daughter of Cervantes Daughter of Picaroon Voltaire ! Handmaiden Bon'yßo'net Muley Moloch ISilvertail Pantaloon Castrel Windliound Idalia Phryne Touchstone Decoy ■ I Alice Muley (Muley 5 Hawthorn Moloch Nancy Rebecca Lottery Daughter of f lon Cain 1 *' Wild Margaret Dayrell, I" won Derby Ellen Bay Middleton o Middleton Myrrha By Leolinus (a grandson of Stockwell), who is the sire of Tit, Radames, Lcorina, Tressen, Satyr, St. Innes (Dunedin Cup winner), Leopold (Auckland Cup winner), from Atlantis, the clam of St. Leger (champion sire of New Zealand), it will be seen that Leolantis comes from a most successful strain of blood. The stock sired by him are big, strong and active colts. His oldest gets are four-year-olds, and one of them, Atlantic, won hurdle races at Avondale, Takapuna, and the Hurdles and a flat race at the late Gisborne meeting. Atlantic and Leo (who broke his leg) are the only horses sired by Leolantis that have been tried. However, being half-brother to such a stud success as St. Leger should alone be sufficient recommendation for Leolantis, and, together with his size and substance, he should prove invaluable to breeders* for getting racehorses, cross-country horse?, hunters, and a good stylo of carriage or hackney horse.
