LOBD NEL3ON was bred by Mr David ' Warnoek, of Southland, and is by Young Frince of Wales, imported by H. Hill, Esq., Wentwood. His dam Empress, by Napuleon, was imported by tho late John Niauno, Eeq. He wsb bred by Mr Macadam, Kepcullooh, out of a pure Clydesdale mare pur* chased from Lorn Campbell, Esq., Boseneath, whose well -known stock of mares surpasses anj in the West Country for Bym« metry and purity of breeding. She was also the dam of Montrose, g.g , Bire cf Mr Wall's Pride of Scotland. Empress has been exhia bited seven times, taking three first and four ' second prizes. Empreas is fall sister to Emperor, who h?a been the champion horse of Otago for many years. In 1881 he ivaa . selected by the Kaapdale Society, at the Dunedin Show, to travel in their district. ' Napoleon's sire, oeorg3 Buchanan, by Tom, who gained the premium at CuDaf, Fife, was bred by Mr Buchanan, Coldrach, out of his prize mare, who gained a number of first prizes at Drymen Show, an^ likewise the Highland Society's prize of £10. Napoleon, when two years old, gained the first prize at fiuchlyvie and Ghrfcmore Agricultural Society, 's Show ; when three years old, the Inverary premium to serve mares in that district, and the following year the premium ia the southern district of ForEarshire ; and after travelling a number of seasons in Otaga, where he had been successful both in the stud and show ring, he was sold for £400 to to Wm. Boag, E.g., Canterbury, where he was victorious ia the show ring for three successive years. Empress, her dam Nanor, imported by W. H.

L ;rd Nelson, when a yearling, took firet prizes at Oamaru and Taieri shows in 1878, and as a 2-year-old first afc Chrislchuroh and second at Oamaru and Dunodin Shows Lord Nelson took first prize at the W airarapa Pastoral Society's Shosrs, 1883, 1884, and 1885.

BENDELL & WATSON, Wanganui. 11HE LAST SEASON IN TABANAKI, ff^SyHJfd, 0 AUPHIN, The Greatest and Be3t of Traduce f.? might family, froxn Maria Tueresa, a daughter of Rataplan (both sirs and dim imported from Engl md), WILL STAND THIS SEASON HEBE, for the last time, and it behoves Breeders to at onue secure his services, as the nutnbei of Mares will be limited. Tho Pel that he is now oiferad at is just to meet th.c times, so hard upon all at present. The DAUPHtN'B Stock aie Tttß BEST EVER RAISED IN THIS DISTRICT, and for grass-fed horses are not approachable by any in Now Z ia. land, some having left the breeders' hands at surprising prices; one in Auckland at One Hua'DEEd Pounds, and not one year old. Others not yetjborn are bospoken at faultless prices. His stoci nre almost porfeoiion for size, substance, and good looks, all boiog full of quality. He stamps his grate Trandacer blood on all, and they may at once be picke I upon, the quality and size shown in his stock —even from common hack nmros— astoundi u^ e ven the owners and breeders. Thosg that know tho Talue of the Eclipse Herod, Highflyer, and Matchem blood at once viok upon Tuv Dauphin as the coming Sire of the Colonies, no other excelling him in euoh a grand and valuable co nbination. This is verified by some Auckland breeders going to the risk and expense of sendnig mares to Taranaki; one even sendingjjan express mare, to breed a carriage horse.
