TO STAND THIS SEASON, jO& a t LANGDALE, Thoroughbred Sire CRAWFORD PRIORY, FOALED 1878. CRAWFORD PRIORY is a cbesnut horse, standing sixteen hands, with exceptionally good bone, substance, and beautiful quality, He is perfectly quiet to ride or handle, and was bred by Sir'Thos. Elder, of the famed Morphettville Mud, South Australia, by Gang Forward (imported)—dam Peradventure (imported), by Adventurer—Manganese, by Irish Birdcatoher—Moonbeam, by Tomboy—Lunatic, by Prime Minister—Maniac, by Shuttle—Anticipation. Adventurer, bv Newminster- Palma, by Emilius-Francesca. New'minster, by Touchstone—Beeswing. Gang Forward (winner of the 2000 guineas, 1875), by Stock-well-Lady Mary, by Orlando —Splitvote (granddam of St. Albins), by St. Luke—Blectress. Orlando, by Touchstone —Vulture, by Langar. Stockwel), by The Baron—Pocahontas, by Glencoe. The Baron, by Irish Birdcatcher-Echidna, by Economist. Whether for racing or general purposes, CRAWFORD PRIORY'S breeding cannot be excelled, as hie pedigree contains the names of most of tho greatest stud successes known to fame. Riddlesworth was by Emilius, and any of his descendants are highly esteemed, and justly so, their genuineness being universally admitted. CRAWFORD PRIORY'S, dam Peradventuro, through her sire Adventurer, is a great., granddaughter of Emilius, whilst Maniac, the g.g.g. damof Peradventure, was Riddlesworth S granddam. Manganese won the 1000 guineas, and is the granddam of Apology, winner of the Great St, Legor, better known as "The Parson's Mire," and Agility, another celebrity. Whon the leading lines of a pedigree are occupied bv such sires as Newminster—tho sire of Hermit, through the success of hia stock styled " The sire of tlnAge"—Adventurer, Orlando, Touchstone, Stockwell, The Baron, Irish Birdcatoher; and on the dam's side gives Manganese, Moonbeam, Palma, Franceses, Bee3wing, Lady Mary, Splitvote, Pocahontas, and Echidna, the question to determine is, could there possibly be a grander combination of all that time has over and over apain proved to be excellent, than the breeding of the subject of this notice. The perusal of CRAWFORD PRIORY'S pedigreo calls to mind the performances of his brother and sister, Guesswork and Conjecture. The former won several good races m the Australian Colonics, and at weight for age as a three-yeai-old in the Champion Race of 1883, got to the end of 3 miles in the wonderful time of smin. 26sec., many who were present averring that he actually won, the verdict against him being only a short head in the great Commotion's favor, Conjecture recently at Adelaide ran second for the £2,000 Cup, beating everything opposed to her but Malta. She afterwards at auction realised a thousand guineas, Guesswork going to the same purchaser for eleven hundred guineas. Peradventure's four foals by Gang Eorward were sold for two thousand six hundred and thirty guineas, an average of over Bix hundred and fifty guineas each which would have been largely increased had not Crawford Priory been withdrawn from competition according to arrangement after the first bid, and it should be remembered that these prices were obtained in one of the Australian colonies,where the money invested in thoroughbred horses can be counted by hundreds of thousands sterling. Owing to an accident when a yearling, Crawtord Priory was not trained. He was need for one season as a sire, and his stock promise well, As CRAWFORD PRIORY is not likely to be more than one season in the Wairarapa, breeders are invited to take advantage of the presence amongst them of a sire of the very Terms, £6 0s eaoh mare, A reduction for two or more, the bona fide property of sender.
