The Stud. I r ."10 STAND THIS SEASON AT I I. MORRINSVILLE, The Thoroughbred Horse, LEOLANTIS, By Lcolinus (imp.) -dam Atlantis (imp)' LEOLANTIS is a chestnut horse, ten years old, stands about 16 hands 1 inch, and is stronuly built in every way and possessed of gr fl at niu'cular power. As a three-year-old Leolantis easily won the Auckland Guineas of 1890, of 150sovs, one mile, in J. 474, ,vtu ' tne pame one race afterwards, in the Prince of Wales Handicap, one mile and a half, carrying 7st 91b, was just beaten by Cissy, 8-st lib (sister to Trenton), in 2.432- * n December of the same year, carrying Bst 9lb, he ran a close third in the Auckland Railway Handicap: time, 1.16. The same day he won the Christmas Handicap of 100 sovs. one mile and a quarter, carrying Bst 31b (as a three-year-old), and beating six othfrs; [time, 2 12. Next day Leolautis ran third in the Auckland Derby, and was only raced once after that through meeting with a mishap. However, Leolantis during the time he was on the turf proved that he could gallop. This is not to be wondered at when his excellent breeding is taken into consideration. A glance at the following table will qii'ckly disclose that he comes from a splendid family : Stockwell, iThe Baron Irish Birdca'cr won 2000 gs& w'nSt.Leger Echidna St. Leger Daughter of Pocahontas Olencoe Marpessi Orlando Touchstone Vulture Lady of Sil- Velocipede verkeld Well Emma H.

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 Avondole, 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 horses, hunters, and a good style of carriage or hackney horse.
