The Peo that he is now offered at is just to meet tlie times, so hard upon all at present. The DAUPHtN's Stock ate TEIE BEST EVER RAISED IN THIS DISTRICT, and for srass-f ed horses are not approachable hy nay in New Zealand, some Laving left tUe breeders' hands at surprising prices; one in Auckland at Owe Hundred Pounds, and not one .year old. Others not yetiborn are bespokea at f .mltless prices. His stock are almost porfeo'i.n for size, substance, and good looks, all beiug fun of quality. He stamps his gw.te Tranducer blood on all, and they may at once be picke 1 upon, the quality aud size shown in his stock —even from | common hack mares— astounding even the owners and breeders. [ Those that know ti-e value of the Eclipse Herod, Highflyer, and Matchem blood at once l ick upon '£ay Dapphin as the coming Sire of the Colonies, no other exc2lli'3g him iv such agiund snd valuable co nbination. This is verified by some Auckland breeders going to the liskand expense of sendniaf mares to Taranobi ; one even sendingjian express mare, to breed a carriage horse.
