Empress is full sister to Emperor, whoh<?s been the champion horse of Ofcago for many years.

THE LAST SEASON IN TABANAKI, The (greatest and Bast of Traduoer'a might family, from Maria Taereaa, a daughter of Rataplan (both sirs and dam imported from En#l?nd), WILL STAND THIS SEASON HBEE, for the last time, and it behoves Breeders to at once secure bis services, as tbe number of Mares will be limited. 'Xhe Te3 that he is now offered afcis just to meet the times, so b,arci upon all at present. The DAUPHrN's Stock aie THE BEST EVEB EAISED IN THIS DISTBICT, and for grasa-fed horses are not approachable by any in New Zea. land, some having left tbe breeders' bands at surprising prices; one in Auokland at Oss Hundred Pouhds, and not one year old. Others not yefyborn are bespokea at faultless prices. His stock are almost perfection for size, substance, and good looks, all beiug full of quality. He stamps his grate Tranducer blood on all, and thej- may at once be pioke i upon, the quality and size shown in hie stock— even from common hackmares— astoundiageven the owners and breeders. Xhos.B -that know tlia value of the Eclipse Herod, Higbflyer, and Matchem blood afc onoa pick upon Thr Dauphin as the coming Sire of the Colonies, no other excelling him in BUOh a grand and valuable combination, This is verified by some Auokland breeders going to the risk and expense of sendnig mares to TasanaH; one even sending^an express mare, to breed a carriage horse, Tsbms : Throughbreda, £8 8a ; half-breds and others, £4 4«.
