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, etands about 16 hands 1 inch, and is strongly built in every way and possessed of grpat muscular power. As a three-year-old Leolantia easily won the Auckland Guineas of 1890, of 150sovs, one mile, in 1.47 J, 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, Sst lib fsister to Trenton), in 2.435. 1° 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 othrrs; |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 quickly disclose that he comes from a splendid family : Stockwell, The Baron Irish Birdca'er won 2000 gs& w'nSt.Leger Echidna St. Leg« ii Pocahontas Glencoe H Marpessa 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 Avondale, Takapuna, and the Hurdles and a fiat 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 breeder* for getting racehorses, cross-country horses, hunters, and a good style of carriage or hackney horse. Terms—Single mare, £4 4s; two or more, the property of one owner, £3 10s. Grazing, Is per week. Every care taken, but no responsibility. For further particulars apply to FRANK MARSHALL, Owner.
