Cambridge, August 22nd, 1898. 23/8 10 STAND THIS SEASON AT MORRINSVILLE, The Thoroughbred Horse, LEOLANTIS, By Leolinus (imp.)—dam Atlantis (imp). Leolantis is a chestnut horse, ten years old, stands about 16 hands 1 inch, and is strongly built in every way and possessed of great muscular power. A 8 a three-year-old Leolantis easily won the Auckland Guineas of 1890, of 150sovs, one mile, in 1.475, and the same day, one race afterwards, in the Priuce of Wales Handicap, one mile and a half, carrying 7st 91b, was just beaten by Cissy, Sat lib I sister to Trenton), in 2.43|. In December of the same year, carrying Bst 91b, 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 othprs ; |time, 2 12. Next day Leolantis 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 qu'ckly disclose that he comes from a splendid family : Stockwell, The Baron Irish Birdea'er won 2000g8& w'n St.Leger Echidna St. Legw <i Pocahontas Gleneoe Marpcssa I"!

The stock sired by hirn 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 aloue 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.
