The Greatest and Best of Traducer's might family, from Maria Theresa, a daughter of Bataplan (both sir? and dam imported from Engl md), WILL STAND THIS SEASON HEKE, for the last time, and ifc behoves Breeders to at once secure his services, as the numbei of Mares -will be limited. Tha Pc 3 that he is now offered at is just to meet the times, so hard upon all at present. The Dao-phtn's Stoclc ate THE BEST EVER RAISED IN THIS DISTRICT, and for ffraas-fed horses are not approachable by any in New _5.a---land, some having left the broedera* hands at .urprisingr prices; one in Auckland at OHB Hundred Pou-?ds, and not one jear old. Others nofc yefcjborn are bespoken at faultless prices. His stock are almost porfeoli.n for size, substance, and good looks, all beiag fall of quality. He stamps his grate Trandncer blood on all, and they may at once be picked upon, the cfuality aud size shown in his stock— even from common hack mares— astoundi a.? even the owners md breeders. , Those that know' iho value of the Eclipse Herod, Highflyer, and Matchem blood afc once nick upon Tek Dauphin as the coming Sire of the Colonies, no other excelling him in such a grand snd valuable combination. This is verified by .Otae Auckland breeders going to the risk and .xpense of sendnig mares to Taranaki; one even .endingJian express mare, to breed a carriage horse.
