Terms : —Six Guineas for single marcs ; two or more mares as per agreement. Ananias is a 4>eaittiJ:ul chestnut horse, rising 4 years old ; stands Id hands 2 inches on good linn legs and capital feet; has great substance of bone, with blood of the highest quality. lie has a very handsome head and beautiful muscular well let in to fine deep slanting short strong back, deep ribs, powerful quarters, grand action all round, and were it not for an accident received while a yearling, he would unquestionably have been one of the grandest racehorses in the colony, lie was bred by E. G. Griffiths, Esq., Canterbury, and is bv the famous Tradueer (sire of hairline, Calumny, Castaway, Fishhook, Templeton, Danebury, dangler, Mufti, Trump Card, Natator, and Le Loup, who was, as a two-year-old wan sold for 1150 guineas), dam Ticklish bv Potentate, out of Miss Mettle by Touchit (imp.), &c. Potentate was by the celebrated Australian Sir Hercules, sire of the renowned Barb (one of the most successful iacehorses of any time), Yattendon (the sire of Chester, Ac.), \Vaimea (the dam of Manuka and Papapa), Revoke (the dam of Trump Card), and Gitana (the dam of Calumny). It will thus be seen that Ananias is almost full brother to those grand animals Trump Card and Calumny. Trump Card is perhaps the best colt ever bred in the colony. As a two-year-old he won the Champagne Stakes at Canterbury, after which he was purchased by Mr Stead for something about 1500 sovs. As a threc-year-old he carried off three Derbys —Canterbury, Wellington, and Dunedin. At Canterbury he ran second for the Cup, weight for age, and on the following day he easily won the Christchurch Plate. At Wellington, after winning the Derby, he ran Laura to a neck for the Cup, giving the latter 2 years and Gibs. Later on we find him in the Publicans’ Handicap at Dunedin, giving Izaak Walton 2 years and some weiglit, and defeating that speedy son of Dainty Ariel and Fanny Fisher over his favorite distance, and at the same meeting he struggled home in front of that wonderful horse Templeton for the Queen’s Plate. Calumny was one of the grandest mares that ever passed a winning post. After carrying off the Canterbury Derby and a number of other important races she went over to Australia, where she carried her owner’s colors to the front in several grandly contested races, carrying heavy weights, beating the best horses of the day, and that not under the most favorable circumstances. To further illustrate the superiority of the Tradueer and Sir Hercules cross, and show the high estimation in which it is held by racing men, it may be mentioned that a foal by Tradueer out of Waimea, when only a few days old, was sold by M. Redwood for €SOO, an extraordinary price for a foal. Slanderer, who is nearly full brother to Ananais, and who like him was prevented from racing by an accident, is now standing in Victoria at 10 guineas a mare. The service of Tradueer is 100 guineas a marc, and this can scarcely be wondered at, seeing that during the last racing season his sons and daughters won stakes to the amount of M 10,000. Tradueer was bred in England, and is by The Libel, dam Aretlmsa. The Libel was by Pantaloon, out of Pasquinade, sister to Touchstone. From the above it must bo patent to the veriest amateur breeder that Ananias combines in himself some of the most successful strains of racing blood in tl jo world, and as he is the only sire of the great Tradueer blood now standing in the Province, breeders of racehorses should not lose the opportunity of putting their mares to him, whilst his beautiful shape, perfect symmetry, good constitution, mild temper, and excellent capacity for carrying weight should induce gvntlemen desirous of breeding superior weight-carrying hacks to patronise him. Good paddocks, securely fenced and well watered by a running creek, provided free till notice of stinting, after which a charge of three shillings per week will be made. All mares must be paid for before they .ire removed. Every care taken but without responsibility. For further particulars, apply to M. MACKENZIE, Railway Hotel, sep 14-om Kaikora.
